POEM: Easter

When it's Easter

It's either a siesta

or a fiesta

but there's a good reason

for the season

and even though the story has some treason

and we do spend some time grieving

over the deceiving

we stay believing

that we have a heavenly father

who looks after

us despite our falters

our shortcomings

wrongdoings

and falsifying

our resistance

our pretense

and our negative insistence

Thank God for his blessings

his caring

and his understanding

cause if he goes by what he observes

for sure we don't deserve

any part of his love

Thoughts About A Vine

It's easy to get distracted and detracted from what you have to do. We are so busy and are so involved. We are social and yet so anti-social. I like how a vine runs because it flows by its needs. It has to survive and will grow on other trees, on concrete, on soil and depending on the situation, even through a car.

Sometimes we need to be like a vine and be tough and resilient. We have to push through and make things happen for ourselves. We have to be able to adapt and develop ourselves. There is a lot to do and a lot to learn. The key is in our hands. A vine starts with one root. A pumpkin vine develops other roots along the way and we have to develop positive relationships while we are on our journey.

You can learn a lot from nature because of the way it adapts and grows. I want to be a vine of positivity and of compassion. I want my vine to have success, growth and inspiration as well. Think about your life and your journey. What impact do you want to make? What will you be a vine of?
