Life is filled with ups and downs,
And many dangerous turn-a-rounds:
Sorrow that can break your heart,
And pain that tears your soul apart.
When you think you know the truth,
And search for dreams from lost youth,
Life comes and takes it all away
And leaves the lesson, “Nothing stays.”
You go through Life with wounded pride,
While something good in you has died.
How can you live when hope is gone?
Ask God to help you carry on.

Inequality, justice, Poetry by Yu/stan/kema., respect, Rise up, truth, women
Women watch men
with unlimited power
make promises to those,
who have waited for years
for justice to finally
lift its battered head.
They waited for fairness,
an equal opportunity
to speak their truth,
and get the respect
they have earned
through patience and
pure determination.
They believed in
the integrity and
principles of
this country,
and its ability
to rise above
pettiness and
the need to win.
So they watched,
And they learned:
Time could not erase
ingrained prejudices,
the need for men
to shame those
who waited to see
justice done.
They learned:
it is up to
them to rise
as an army
And fight for
the right
To be heard,
and finally believed.
March with us,
come and save
your friends
and daughters
from society’s
need to keep
women silent
and afraid.

Civility, communication, community., facts, Message, Nation, now, Poetry by Yu/stan/kema., purpose, respect, Rule of law, the future., the law for all., the past, truth, Working together
The world has changed
since I was a young girl
growing up in America.
Rules and regulations meant
we expected others to act
and talk with civility.
There were lines
no one dared to cross,
because we knew
those rules were the glue
that held us fast to one another
with a common purpose.
It took hard-earned respect
from each of us
to build a community
that believed in
the very best
of our humanity.
My heart yearns for the years
that seem lost forever:
A world where facts
were based on truth,
and the rule of law
was made for all.
Life was simple then.
We watched the seasons
come and go,
and we believed
that good would
triumph over evil.
I am not ready
to accept a world
filled with such
chaos and hate,
where people refuse
to relate with one another.
Let us work together
To heal this broken world,
so once again we can
find serenity,
and peace within
Our Country.

beauty, darkness, death, faith, fear, Important Parts, life, light, love, Pinterest photo- Stephen Hayward., Poetry by Yu/stan/kema., respect, stars, truth
Darkness and light
are both intertwined
among the threads
of my life’s fabric.
Found on Pinterest on 12-17-16. Stephen Hayward. Stars
Love and fear
are found at
the intersection of
commitments I make.
Beauty and truth
are found when I
contemplate my desire
for what is good.
Respect and faith
are a part of
any relationship
where trust endures.
Life and death
are journeys I
must endure
to embrace eternity.

I Sing A Song Of Dreams.
One nation coming together
To protect the rights of all.
One nation working as one
To ensure freedom and dignity
For every man, woman, and child.
I Sing A Song Of Truth.
Each individual finding his own
Inner beauty inside himself.
Each person telling another
His story, his thoughts, his feelings
And finding true acceptance.
I Sing A Song Of Love.
All men reaching out to heal
And protect those around them.
Each one making it a priority to
Meet the needs of each man,
Woman, and child before him.
I Sing A Song Of Joy.
All people taking the time to
Notice and appreciate their blessings.
Each person seeing the love of God
In every face, tree, and bird
And taking the time to thank Him.
Found on Pinterest on 7-28-15.
I Sing A Song Of Faith.
All kinds of religions kneeling down
To honor and give voice against evil.
All people willing to accept
And embrace each man’s right
To worship God as he sees fit.
I Sing a Song Of Friendship.
Each man, woman, and child finding
Someone they can rely on and trust in.
Each one gaining strength and
Support from others to become
All God wants them to be.
I Sing A Song Of Giving.
People reaching out to give
Joy in the lives of others.
People seeking to renew
And heal the brokenhearted
And those who have lost hope.
I Sing A Song Of Life.
Each man, woman, and child enjoying
The wonders all around them.
Each one finding a reason for living,
A friend worth loving, hope to sustain them,
And a strong faith to uphold them.

There’s beauty in the lovely thought
That she will be my friend.
Someone to trust and cherish, too,
On whom I can depend.
A friend who knows right from wrong,
And likes me for myself.
A friend who digs inside my mind
To cultivate its wealth.
A friend who raises me above
The tears of yesterday
And never fails to let me know
“There’s hope in just today.”
A friend who tells me what she thinks
And seeks to tell the truth.
Who spurs me toward much brighter goals
That lie within my youth.
A friend to love and honor still
No matter if the sky
Be filled with darkness and with clouds
Because I’m doubting why.
A friend who means a great deal more
Than what I can express.
She shows me deep respect and care,
With heart-felt tenderness.
There’s beauty in the lovely thought
She’ll always be my friend.
Someone to trust and cherish, too,
On whom I can depend.

beauty, Conflicting needs, ethics and morals, love, Making decisions, Pinterest quote., The heart, the mind, the soul, truth, wisdom
Found on Pinterest on 4-15-15. http://www.livelifehappy.com
It is never easy making important decisions that will affect one’s life. The heart is the place where love dwells. It can have an extremely powerful influence on the decisions we make in the future. Love is a positive emotion and throughout history we have told ourselves that love can conquer all things, and can overcome any obstacles. Our experiences teach us the power of love can do many things, but sometimes circumstances exist that are beyond what we can overcome. The mind is the seat of wisdom and truth. Most of us love truth and we would rather hear the reality of what actually is instead of believing a lie. The problem is, love feels good. It can lift us up. It can convince us that we are powerful. Sometimes love blinds us to the truth.
That is why God made the soul and made it more powerful. It trump’s the heart and the mind.. It is the seat of our value system and houses the ethics and morals we hold dear. The heart and the mind communicate with the soul, but ultimately, the soul needs to have the final say. The soul is what keeps us on the right path. The soul drives us to be the best we can possibly be, and the soul cherishes beauty, wisdom, truth, and love. The soul connects us to God. When we make a good decision, our soul experiences a knowing. Love will try to influence the decision-making process. The mind also tries to convince the soul by using logic and reason. We have to allow our soul to guide us. When we do not, things often do not go as planned.
