The proof goes to show
To those that don’t already know
Their friends from their foes
It will stunt your growth
Misconceptions led us astray
We all like to exchange
Words throughout the day
It’s in the nature of our ways
Today, I absolutely loved
That she wanted a hug
Quite simply because
I spoke her native tongue
When I find myself
Lost in your admiration
My doubts disappear
Fading into the background
A lifetime of assurance
Too good not to share….
As if that wasn’t enough, this kids story is short of miraculous and inspiring. Take a look at the behind the scenes.
If you’re 1 of the 43,000,000 previous viewers you could’ve shared this with me earlier you know, but I ain’t mad atcha.
Your optimistic
Frequent praise serves to brighten
Up my darker days
Life’s a labyrinth
Of decisions one must make
Blind intuition
Leads us through the maze, we play
With dead-ends and great escapes
Tanka poem inspired by prompt over at: Patricia’s Place
You’re partly to blame
It’s been over a decade
I’m changing my ways
Activated membership
With a promise not to quit
Sometimes you have to start over
To appreciate what you once had
In order to get everything back
While learning to move boulders
Resist temptations of let’s pretend
Sweep expectations under the rug
Stuff fears in the closet with a shove
Organize thoughts into neat little bins
Although they’re my burdens to carry
I’d rather leave em dead and buried
To deal with hauntings over my shoulder
As a soldier, constantly moving forward
Never really looking ahead, nor back
Caught by surprise, at the time of attack
Fighting the panic cause I’ll handle it
With support & dedication that never quits
