I Have Made It

I have made it 
even thou there were those 

Who said

It won’t be so
couldn’t be, would never be 

Hear their calls of criticism
hear their snorts of disbelief

Saying

I can’t do this 
this that I know I need too
know I can do 
can succeed and complete.

I See Your Life

I see your life in front of me
I see when you fail
And
When you succeed.

Yours is not a life of in-between
You go for all
You leave nothing undone
Nothing not tried.

Yes
That’s the way
The way it all seems.

Not Sure

Not sure where the trail leads too
I stop upon the path
As my feet have lead me to
A place of wonder, beyond belief
A place where all can be named
Succeed.

Not sure what I have to say
Know the words will come
When its their day
Flowing out upon the land
Resting with those that need
Need their words, need a hand.

Not sure if I’ll see
The things I must to be me
But then again what if I am
Already there
And they’re already in
My soul’s command.

Healthy Living

Healthy living
Finds a way out
Of the hollow
Where heartache
Plays.

Seeing the crisis
Changing the rules
Making sadness
Nothing
Not used.

This is my journey
My way out of strife
May I succeed
Have
Such a glorious life.

We Can Succeed

We can succeed in this life we need
Accessing those things we hold so dear.

We can succeed whether the sky is fair
Or filled with heartache, anger and despair.

We can see our way in this life we need
For we believe we can and will succeed.

Olympic Gold

Olympic Gold
Gives wealth in all things to behold.

 In the journey to compete
The soul finds inside things that are best to keep
Power, strength and fortitude
Unbelievable, bigger than all magnitude
Along with sharing, caring, you will succeed
Receiving Gold
Either on the hill or in all that you seek.

That’s a winning goal nothing less than
Olympic Gold.

Light And Airy

Light and airy is the life
That comes and goes
Between the strife.

Snugly warm, cozy near
Bringing dreams
To fruition clear.

Make it mine, make it dear
This life I’ve embraced
With mounting fear.

Not knowing truly if
I do believe in a life of joy
Where I can succeed.
