Moments you would love to freeze in time.....

Upon picking up my daughter at daycare today she gave me a different kind of a smile. A smile that was so rare through my eyes that I wish I could freeze her smile from that moment forever. A "In the moment smile" . Her smile captured her heart beat that drummed to the acknowledgement of my arrival. She replied " Daddy I'm so happy to see you" ....."I've missed you. I always miss you, but love how you make me smile when I see you" .......Love the feeling of being able to bring that type of joy to my daughter who is an owner of my heart and soul.......

"It began with one thought"

It began with one thought that my vision through words correlated embodied a warm heart's sentiment. Each word bridged the unity of sentences compounded with nouns, verbs, adjectives, and pure creativity. Married to a sheet of college ruled paper was the ink that captured every stroke of my heart's whispers. Understanding how all this became possible I knew one thing was for certain. It began with one simple thought, and thus a poet was born. Forged together were two words that would forever capture my contributions to poetry, my creativity, and my heart's voice. SIMPLY POETIC

"Time has brought me YOU"

Timing! Life in itself is an actual roller coaster we ride for free on a daily basis. I have rode my share of ups and downs, but her I am today still smiling, living and making life sweeter than yesterday's glass of tea. She adds life to my smile and her beauty grows fond in my heart each passing day. Unknowingly of the path that leads beyond tomorrow I can say though in this very moment I'm happy, I'm smiling and I'm great.

"Above and Beyond where I stand today"

Standing above higher ground allows you to see how much you have risen, grown and learned from yesterday. Today we must continue to build on our successes and look beyond tomorrow. Tomorrow will come sooner than you expect and it is better to be proactive than reactive. Failure means you at least tried! Success means you never stop trying!

My cup of tea

Success is no different than having great values. The more you invest into being successful you are a product, reflection or mirror image to all the hard work invested in YOU. Great values are a testament of family morals achieved from an early age and progressed through the development of self conscious behavior. Achieving great values ties into success and once again the invested time placed in both. As a hot cup of tea remains warm upon its serving, so will the success and continued values of a heart that remains warm.

Window view

After tossing and turning in the middle of the night I finally decided to wake up. It was I and the darkness that stared each other in the eye. In order to pass time my mind began to wander and dreams began to flash upon the darkness as if a projector were playing my thoughts, dreams or visions. I stood up and walked over to the window only to forever remember this night. My dreams were so vivid and the night's sky was perfectly set. Stars aligned in unison glazing bright painting my dreams. A dream among dreams that reminded regardless of age, gender or stage of life when clarity is upon us we can make anything a reality. From a window view I'm still collecting those stars I remember far off is the distance and making my dreams a reality. I might not be able to make every dream come true, but at least I know I'm fighting for something.

"FLY"

Over rainbows and above the clouds we can all fly. Fly above the negativity and don't allow difficult challenges to keep you from attaining what you sought to seek in the first place. A first place mentality is about WINNING! If you want it, breathe it, live it, then you GOT IT!
