Poem of the Week

Change
I see a picture of a distant land
that shows a journey to every man.
Travel near, Travel far,
you still must face who you are.
Lives are lost everyday.
Falling prey to the idea of change.
Change is pain,
to some pain brings recognition.
A generation of youth believing this,
while still lacking ambition.
If there are no changes made in life,
you remain like an embryo in a state of denial.
Things are the same,
no one wins or lose.
You get caught up in the game.
Used to familiar surroundings
Certain people,
Certain things.
Accept change in your life…don’t fold.
Hold fast to the thoughts,
dreams and visions that filter your mind.
Do not be afraid to travel into uncharted waters
without an escort.
Change…
It’s scary to say the least.
Yet, where ever you go, what ever you do,
beyond the shadow of a doubt,
be prepared for change.
And as you go through your change,
There will be people,
people who want to walk you through
this awesome soul winning experience.
Remember, that change is done from within.
Only then can it be called a revolution.
For I can not, will not…allow others to
graft their ideas of life onto me.
No one can be as sincere about my quest or my journey.
No one can take if from me.
Therefore, my shoes no matter how old and worn they are…
Can only be changed by me.


Becoming

Every day that I live,
I am becoming.
Through heartaches and tears,
I am becoming.
Unaware on the day of my birth,
I was sent here to fulfill my calling,
to become who I was first meant to be
from the start.
I am becoming…
a new creature with goals and aspirations,
I am becoming a person whose
heart has fixation.
My focus is so clear,
My dreams are just a footstep away,
with a few more bumps and bruises,
I’d say I am on my way.
realizing when I become what I am seeking,
I will be me…
still becoming what I was meant to be.
I am becoming,
satisfied with who I am,
becoming aware of what it takes to be a friend,
I am becoming.
For I have chosen to be in touch with a higher source
than myself someone who has made my life
so much more blessed.
I am becoming!
This journey that I am on I would not trade it in,
not for the love of any man.
I know who I am,
I know where I am going,
I am on my way…
I am becoming.
Becoming is a process we all should face,
It takes you to higher levels,
and it opens up faith.
It helps to rebuild bridges
And cover up ditches.
I am becoming.
Come with me so you too can experience the birth of yourself.
You won’t need a mirror.
This trip that I am on,
I’d like to share,
Don’t miss this boat,
Come along and let’s join hands,
And continue to discover the joy of becoming.
