You find the one to make your life whole again. But do you have the courage to make it happen?

 

Is this the right time? You think . . .

 

I Have So Much To Prove

 

You look at me in way that makes me quiver.

I stand in awe, as if on the bank of a mighty river.

I want to approach you, but choose not to do so.

It is my choice and, right of wrong, I don’t know.

You flash a smile that makes me think I have a chance.

Should I leap into the unknown to find romance?

Worlds apart, we are different in every way.

My mind is mush, words buried within, I don’t know what to say.

So I bow my head and pray for the courage to make the right move.

Having failed many times before, I have so much to prove.

Trust is a trait leaders should exemplify. But when you listen to their words, what you hear is not always what you see.

 

When trust is broken, the head of the pack may have to face being . . .

 

 

Defeated

 

When the last bell rings, the last words spoken,

Time has run out, an oath broken.

When the crowd before you believes you lied,

With your actions and words they you defied.

A leader, you broke the trust of everyone.

Now you have to pay the price for what you’ve done.

Bow your head in shame and walk away.

It is no longer your right to serve today.

When the last bell rings, the last words spoken,

Time has run out, an oath broken.

I’m unsure about how to make my way down life’s confusing path. But I know it’s possible.

 

 And so, I envision a better future. It is my . . .

 

Dreamscape

 

To open my eyes

in a world

of misconception.

To dance

to a cherished tune,

a melody of life,

without deception.

 

To open my eyes

and walk

with trust.

To sing

a song of praise

in hope of a future

without lust.

 

To open my eyes

and embrace

the day.

To dream—

dream of peace

and happiness,

as I travel life’s highway.
