Preaching Without Practice

I’m so tired
of having tolerance preached to me
by men with none of their own.
Acceptance is a street that goes both ways.
If you want to be loved
despite our beliefs
then you have to love others
regardless of their differences.
So don’t tell you’re not being heard
when you’ve got your fingers
plugging your ears.
Because there’s nothing more frustrating
than attempting conversation
with someone who won’t see their own hypocrisy.

The mind is like a room that is always full with all sorts of stuff. There is no free space there. When it is emptied, it becomes filled with peace of mind. ~Remez Sasson

I am a green rose
No one can see me
Because I won’t show myself
My real self
All around me are red roses
I am a green rose
It’s not impossible to find me
Just try, keep a search
Where am I
Where you can find me
Inside
Not a red rose
I’m a green rose
I’m hard to find
Impossible to think of
Amazing in the inside
Good color Continue reading →

If you are being bullied, remember:

♥Don’t blame yourself. It is not your fault. No matter what someone says or does, you should not be ashamed of who you are or what you feel.

♥Be proud of who you are. Despite what a bully says, there are many wonderful things about you. Keep those in mind instead of the messages you hear from bullies.

♥Get help. Talk to a parent, teacher, counselor, or other trusted adult. Seeing a counselor does not mean there is something wrong with you.

♥Learn to deal with stress. Finding ways to relieve stress can make you more resilient so you won’t feel overwhelmed by bullying. Exercise, meditation, positive self-talk, muscle relaxation, and breathing exercises are all good ways to manage the stress from bullying. Continue reading →

A woman wants to be held tight,
To be told everything will turn out all right,
She wants a man who understands,
That she can’t always be strong,
She wants comfort in the night,
To be told she’s safe in her lover’s arms.
She wants to be told she’s beautiful,
Especially when she doesn’t feel it,
She doesn’t want to hear frustrated sighs
When she’s down,
She wants to hear “I Love You”.
A woman wants compassion and love,
She needs to be told every day
That she’s loved in every way,
When she’s down and you don’t know what to do,
Just hold her close to you, Continue reading →

Men marry women with the hope they will never change.
Women marry men with the hope they will change.
Invariably they are both disappointed.

A rose can say I love you and want you to be mine,
A rose can say I thank you for being so very kind,
A rose can say congratulations, whatever the occasion may be,
A rose can say I miss you and wish you were here with me,
A rose can say I’m sorry if I’ve hurt you in any way,
A rose can say get well soon, May God bless you today,
A rose can say I wish you happiness, and the best for you each day.
A rose can say farewel when someone goes away,
A rose can say hello, I’m thinking of you today,
There’s just so many wonderful things that a rose can say,
A rose can say goodbye when a love one is laid to rest,
No matter what there is to say, a rose can say it best.

Animals are my friends…
and I don’t eat my friends.
