You were well-known for your great smile
your warm welcome to everyone you met.
You let people into your life with so much ease
no judgement just open arms.
Your smile is always the first thing someone sees
there is no moment where you have to fake your smile to get by.
If your happy everyone can see but when your down there is no hiding it.
I hope your smile will always be the most and genuinely thing about you.

seems to not be on my side right now
every time I seem to try to get something
done I run out of time.
I’m trying to accept the little bit of time I have
but it is not enough for me and the struggle is
rough and I’m not sure I will accomplish all the things
this week demands of me.

Life can be one big maze and as you walk through it.
Sometimes you run into a lot of dead ends
and you sometimes feel like you may never make it to the end.
But, you remember your not alone and you close your eyes and you pray.
And you ask to be guided through the things you can’t do alone.
And as you open your eyes, your feet start to move you in a new direction.
It feels like you’ve been walking for hours and hours.
And just as you are about to give up, you see a light up ahead and soon you running.
Towards what you hope is your way out of this maze.
Even though you have arrived to this new place and everything is great you soon realize.
That there will always be more mazes to get through and your ready to conquer them all.
But, for now you will rest and enjoy the things that are in your life now.

We all want a healthy lifestyle and sometimes we get it right.
But, other times we just want to be bad and follow our craves of sweets.
And, we realize a heathy lifestyle is a life that feels free to eat what we want.
Yet, just watch the amount we take in and do the things we love to do.
Because, everyone has a different lifestyle and their unique in their own way.
So lets embrace our lifestyle and improve the things that could be hurting us.

Long day ends with me
looking and feeling extremely tired.
My body just drags on until I can’t drag on anymore.
I feel like I have aged in a matter of hours
and even through I try to fuel up.
My body says no and wants to give up and rest.
But, my mind is like no we have to finish on a good note.
And in the end as my body enters through the door of my home.
It wins and sleep is all I focus on as I drag myself to bed.

time the day wines down and it’s time to lay my head on my pillow
you pop into my mind and so much peace just falls over me.
Your more important to me then you will ever know and I don’t know
if you ever found out would you understand.
Or would you take it the wrong way and would things turn
so awkward.
I don’t want to lose you so I keep a lot to myself just to keep the peace between us
for I don’t want to fight with you anymore.
I just want to spend the time I have left with you on a good note for I’m not promised tomorrow and so I Just want this moment I have with you to be amazing.
So when I’m gone that memory would be so strong that even when you think you have forgotten it comes back so strong that you think it happened just yesterday.

Each spike on my running shoes dogged into the grass as I ran.
Away from all the moments of pain
loneliness
slients
Hoping once I’m done the feeling of being overwhelmed would be over.
I run faster as the feeling of peace washes over me.
I fight back the feeling of giving up and push myself to the point of breaking.
And before my heart spikes any higher then possible.
I take a breath and get some water and cool down on my walk back to reality.
