Today has been somewhat, some kind of unusual. Tempers flares, pressure raised, words slang from mouth to mouth. Landing on the ears of them all to hear, not caring because of all of the pain that was there.
Time passed, calmness flowed and followed through to the evening past two. Still in the silence of the heart of the one shedding tears, one does not know what tomorrow will bring, but as the soul rests in the heart of the broken spirit, the soul will trust in the One who created it.
Tears of hurt of a confused heart flowed hard from the eyes of a soul unknown by all. Sounds that traveled away as emptiness krept into silence as the sun showed all around on this warm Spring Winter day.
The sun sets, the sky turns dark, the stars and moon come out to play, but the heart still wonders why. Holding back emotions that want to still burst forth, nevertheless, they are controlled by the eyes of the one who owns them.
Coolness fills the night, crisp but quiet is kept. Thoughts of the future fill the mind filled with emotion as tears still find their way out to cleanse the heart and soul.
To cleanse the heart and soul of hurt and pain that one does not understand; maybe never will. Thinking of what their life is going to be like. Thinking of the one she loves, thinking of the one that has loved them all of their lives, thinking of the one that held her hand, wiped her years away, combed her hair, fed her when no one else was there, thinking about all of the laughter that was made to make memories, thinking about all of the things that they taught her, thinking of the last time she was there.
There with the one she calls grandma. Not caring now to hold back what she feels, how she feels, and how it comes out.
Precious heart of hers cares deep, cares more than anything. Time has passed, the year’s come and gone; slipped away, what can one say, quiet is kept keeping the memories of yesterday.
Take one day at a time, it is not theirs, it is not mine to call my own, but to live in that moment in time. To do things new, to remember the old, and share the stories that were never told. Passing on memories to be told over and over again, to the new generation as it began.
Love hard, laugh a lot, live life to the fullest, and while doing that take pictures because we only have one life to live. Memories are all we have left to give.
From one’s heart, memories never fade they remain. To look back on as time goes on ticking, not stopping for anyone. Jump on in and hang on if you can. Don’t wait, don’t procrastinate, idle hands get nothing done, but all in all, there is always time for a little fun.
Thoughts thinking, eyes blinking, heart beating, breathing in and out; inhale-exhale is what we call life.
WORDS ! Why are they said if they can not be said to lift someone!!! They are always used to put someone down to degrade them! WHY is it that people do not realize that WORDS have the power!! USE THEM WISELY!!
WORDS can give life and WORDS can kill. Kill the soul of who they are being spoken to and about!! Give life to the soul who they are being spoken to and about!!
So many are gone because of what someone said to or about them! Use words to give life, don’t use them to kill!! WORDS!!! ©2020
CHANGING
As we live our lives from day to day, there comes a time when we change. We go through metamorphoses. We change how we do things, how we look at things, and what we want for our future.
We change because we become wiser due to our experiences in our lives; such as the things we have gone through. We are able to give sound wisdom and advice to those who needs us.
Change comes from within but we have to want to change. We can change mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. When those changes are made we can live our lives in a more healthy way. Life will be more productive. When we are happy in our lives we feel good about ourselves. We feel like we can conquer the world.
Change is good. There are those of us who does not like change; we are afraid of it. We want things to stay the way they are because that is what we are accustomed to. Sometimes things are not meant to be changed. Sometimes things are just fine as they are. Change is not good for everyone. Change is good when a person wants to change for the better so they can be better people. For the most part, there are things we can change about ourselves. We can change our attitudes. The way we speak, such as using correct grammar when we speak. Being polite and kind to others even when someone is mean to us. There is nothing wrong with change, but if change is not for you that is alright to. For those of you who like change, embrace it and change to. ©2020

Misty Eyes
Broken heart brings tears to misty eyes. The soul cries out why from the inside out. The mind doesn’t know, or understand why the heart is so shattered. Must one ring it out loud for all to hear, or should the heart hold it back? Hold back the distant memories of the past in which lingers in the front of the mind. Instantly, the eyes flow water from within the soul of the heart that’s broken with misty eyes.
What she wants most is to see her children. She has been sick for a good while. She thought that she was getting better but she can see that she isn’t. Her heart breaks more because they are not with her. She wonders if she will ever get better. She has prayed for healing, but she hadn’t seen any improvement as of yet. All she knows is that her body doesn’t feel right, and she keeps hearing someone call her name. She is sometimes afraid to go to sleep because she feels herself drifting in and out of her body, and it frightens her. She often stays up just to find something to do to stay awake, but lately she has been taking naps just to get a little rest.
What must she do? What can she do? She has a lot to think about; mainly her future and what’s left of her life. She knows that he will never help her get what she deserves most, and that is a car. She will have to work the rest of her life to have anything since her life was ruined in the beginning. She has sacrificed for everyone, but when it comes to her, there is no one to help her, everyone is against her except her last two children. She weeps because she misses them so much.
Oftentimes, she feels as she had them just to be taken away, and for what, because of who she decided to live with for the rest of her life? She just wanted to make a good life for herself and her children, but it didn’t happen that way. She has lost a lot and suffered much, but she is still here and still strong. No matter what, she will always love her children.
STILL MOMENTS
Thinking back to when life was still simple without a care in the world, but one day life happened. Time changed as did the moments lived minute by minute.
Still Moments carry me on a journey through time that has been forgotten about. My childhood is one of those still moments. Growing up not having all the luxuries of life was hard, but I made it.
Still Moments carry me on a journey to my teen years, that’s when my life changed for the rest of my life. Motherhood since then is all I have known.
Still Moments carry me on a journey to the married life. This is what I will always be forever.
Still Moments carry me to being a grandmother for the first time even though she didn’t make it; she went back home.
Still Moments carry me to being a grandmother again for the second time, hopefully everything’s going to be alright. I hope to see my first grandson always.
Still Moments carry me to where I am now in my life. There has been lots of ups and downs, but it will get better as long as I have faith.
Still Moments carry me to write my first book in 2022 and became the first published author in my family. My Life: From the Back Burner by LA”BREA AQUARIA. My second book: My Life: Moving Forward. Reprint of my first book through Trilogy Publishing.
