The Secrete So Simple

The Secret so Simple

Do any of us really know were we are going in life?
It’s the most important trip we will ever take
yet most don’t have a clue which way to turn.

If there ever was a road map, it is truly in the heart.
How many are able to see the way clearly?
Perhaps it’s not for the eyes to find
the destination is felt by heart and soul.

How lucky are those who have found the way
and the few, who accidentally stumbled upon the path.
The rest are groping, feeling in the dark
standing … Read the rest

Love Comes From Within

A Poets Corner Posted on September 14, 2016 by Patricia WalterJanuary 5, 2019

Love Comes From Within 1

Love Comes from Within

It hurts to not love yourself
it hurts to not like yourself
it hurts to not understand yourself.
The love, the kindness
the understanding
only come from within.
It comes from the heart
the soul, the Spirit
all living within yourself.

Be At Peace With Yourself

Be At Peace With Yourself

Be at peace with yourself
be at peace with the world.
Let your anger, hurt and problems of the day
go down with the sun each night.
Let joy, happiness and hope
rise in your heart with the sun each morning.
Be at peace with yourself
be at peace in your world.

We Are All Little Kids at Heart

A Poets Corner Posted on September 12, 2016 by Patricia WalterJanuary 5, 2019

We Are All Little Kids at Heart 2We Are All Little Kids At Heart

We are all little kids at heart.
We look like adults, we act like adults,
but deep inside, there’s still a little kid.

We are so easily hurt, even though we know better!
We are so jealous, even though we know better!
We are so quick to anger, even though we know better!

It’s hard to act grown up when the little kid inside is
so tender, so vulnerable, so easily hurt.
We have no Dad to run to, no Mom to hug us.

It’s OK to have the joy of a kid,… Read the rest

A Body Ignored

A Body Ignored

Sometimes the body screams for attention
often we do not hear.
The mind is too busy with things to do
while emotions are raging inside.

Mind, body and emotions
the essence of our human existence.
We think the mind is strongest of all
but we may only be fooling ourselves.
The body is home for heart and soul
with power as strong as the mind.

They body needs attention
time to rest and relax
time to be gently pampered.
Time without emotions pounding away.
A caring mind will honor the body
free it from pressure
and treat … Read the rest

I am Worthy and I am Loved

I am Worthy and I am Loved

People often tell me how nice I am.
That I am considerate and kind
both warm and wonderful.
But somewhere deep inside
comes a nagging voice.
I’m really not nice
I don’t deserve good things
I am not perfect at all.

Whose voice do I hear
whispering such untruths?
It is really mine or some ghost form the past?
Bad echoes from a Mom, a Dad
or a sister or brother?
The voice tells untruths, it seems like mine
yet it has a ring of familiarity to it.
Perhaps it’s from a time, … Read the rest

Solitude

Solitude 3

Solitude

Solitude is not a sad state of mind
but a glorious gift from God.
Not lonely or detached
but connected and joyful.
A time to reflect, a visit with self
A time to listen, a time with God
advice from a warm, loving Friend.
A time to give Thanks for glorious gifts.
Yourself, your Spirit, unique in the world
will celebrate with joy each day.
Solitude is surely not lonely or sad
but a wonderful state of mind.

I Am Sorry

A Poets Corner Posted on September 11, 2016 by Patricia WalterDecember 9, 2019

i-am-sorry

I Am Sorry

I am sorry to cause pain, sorrow or hurt
to a friend I hold dear in my heart.
Life is not easy for body and soul
who must live in a cold, harsh world.

I am sorry at the depth of my heart
it’s not right to criticize or control.
Often the soul, so tender and fragile,
lives in a mist of confusion and doubt.
Guilt and power, easy tools to use,
are taught so early in life.
Why aren’t we taught to love with compassion
to share, be gentle and kind?

I am sorry to cause … Read the rest

A Child’s Joy

A Child’s Joy

Were does the joy in a child come from,
so free and full at play?
The giggles, the smiles
the little squeals of joy
the abandon an adult seldom feels.

Why do we lose this great gift from God
no longer in touch with our hearts?
Our problems so great
building walls thick and tall
blocking the bright lights of joy.

A child feels safe, so free and loved
no boundaries exist in their mind.
They touch, they see, they feel
all things are a wonder to them.
