Let people hit you on your chin so hard that it builds a stronger jaw as, in life, it is important to be able to take criticism without being knocked off your feet.

If life gives you a lemon, then learn to know where tequila is, its time to throw a party.

Keep believing, it will unlock the possibilities.

Incandescent flowers bloom in the wake of hope

Poetry is life and emotion incarnate. it should make the reader feel exactly as the writer did during the process of writing the poem.

"war is bad, but protecting your family is good."

"its simple to think your child is born, raised, and gone, untel you think how much money was spent"

Love yourself even when no one else does

I still can't believe you are going home so soon,
a million miles away it seems,
but you won't forget me or any of us,
for you have a heart humble and kind that will
never stop loving. . .
and I'll always have your encouragement
with me in my life.

The first steps are always the hardest, but once you master it, everything thereafter is simply a walk in the park.
