Coming into a world
so down trodden and
beaten, each child born
knows only of
hunger and a yearning
to be cared for.
With the blossom of youth,
accepting life as it has become,
the yearning is still to be loved.
In the journey of
moments,
years and
decades
there is more doing than being
while beneath it all
remains the desire to be loved.
“We are all born for love. It is the principle
of existence and it’s only end.”
~ Benjamin Israeli, British Prime Minister & writer
Arguments seldom win anything
especially arguments that
run amok through a person’s mind.
All that mind chatter has
the faces and voices from
the distant past ~
everyone living rent free
at my beck and call ~
until I give them
eviction notices
Time passes quietly but they wait
patiently for a so called ‘bad' day
to nail down squatters rights.
With each ‘eviction notice’
their voices lose strength until
I accept
that it really is my own voice
repeating these old messages.
Then I know I really am
the boss of me.
“Be mindful of your self-talk. It’s a conversation with the universe.”
~ David James, footballer

“I can be changed by what happens to me.
But I refuse to be reduced by it.’
~ Maya Angelou
