What’s something most people don’t know about you?
I’ve walked through things I once feared to see,
Loneliness, responsibility, both shaping me.
I wasn’t born strong, life taught me to be,
And being married to a soldier set that spirit free.

Lazy Days
Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?
Lazy days are the ones for introspection,
When silence feels like true connection.
The world may run, I let it be,
For peace begins when I meet me.
The One Next Door
What makes a good neighbor?
The one whose presence need not be loud,
You may share a meal, or just the same cloud.
Days may pass without a word or call,
Yet their smile feels like sunlight on your wall.
Their home, in quiet ways, imparts
A flavor that lingers in your heart.
Beyond Doing
What could you try for the first time?
I could try stillness without a plan,
To simply be, not just outrun what I can.
To let life unfold, not chase or strive,
Just trust the art of being alive.
The Compass Within
What principles define how you live?
I don’t live by rules carved in stone,
But by a purpose I’ve made my own.
It shifts, it breathes, yet stays sincere,
My compass within, forever clear.
Every Pause Has a Purpose
What have you been putting off doing? Why?
I’ve been putting off the things I know,
That ask me still to learn and grow.
Some roads aren’t meant to start in haste,
Even waiting is a part of the race
The Day I Felt Grown Up
When was the first time you really felt like a grown up (if ever)?
The day I knew I was responsible for me,
I found both strength and liberty.
Not in control, but gentle care,
To hold my heart and still be there.
The Moon Speaks
I rise again, as I always do,
Silent witness to love and longing.
They wait for me, eyes glistening with devotion,
Hands folded, hearts whispering ancient promises.
I see hunger, not for food, but for faith.
For something eternal in a world so fleeting.
And I wonder, do they know,
The light they seek in me, already glows within them?
I’ve watched centuries pass like silver clouds,
Women praying, men smiling,
Families gathering under my gentle gaze,
And still, no one asks me how I shine.
It isn’t the sun alone that gives me light,
It’s the patience to reflect, the courage to be still.
Maybe love is the same,
Not always burning, sometimes simply glowing back.
So tonight, as you lift your veil and look up,
Don’t just see me, see yourself.
For the moon you adore,
Is merely your own calm, mirrored in the sky.

If I Had a Million to Give
If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?
I’d gift it where hope has lost its name,
Where light still flickers beneath the rain.
For giving is not about wealth or fame,
It’s setting a soul back into flame
If I Were Guaranteed Not to Fail
What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail.
I’d pour my heart into healing each soul,
Mending the cracks that once took the toll.
I’d plant more faith where fear once grew,
And teach the world what gratitude can do.
