~The Power Of A Woman~

Her heart is set on making life

As rich as it can be

She uses all within her means

To improve reality.

She tends the beauty of her home

With loving hands that care

Whether rich or poor you'll always find

A touch of magic there

A woman's heart is very strong

And filled with firm resolve

To do her best for those she loves

Including friends who call

When hardships threaten to destroy

The things that she holds dear

She walks right on with head held high

And casts aside her fears

Her heart is sometimes broken

In valleys of despair

But even if she sometimes falls

She doesn't linger there

A woman knows that gentleness

Will never make her weak

It lights the path along the way

To find the things she seeks

Be careful how you judge her

There is much you may not know

For the power of a woman

Is locked deep within her soul

*Lasting Light Poetry*

It is not how much you do,
but how much love you put
into the doing and sharing
with others that is important.
~~Mother Teresa~~

There are two treasures in life:
True love and true friendship.

The most important things in life, aren't things.
-Art Buchwald-

When it hurts to look back,
and you're scared to look ahead,
you can look beside you
and your best friend will be there.
 

Don't Ever Be Afraid To Be Yourself 

 In a world of comparisons 
and conformity, 
Make your own statement. 
Honor your own truth. 
Have the courage to be yourself, 
Risk speaking your own thoughts 
And claiming your emotions. 
Share your vulneribilities, 
Fears, doubts, and insecurities, 
Let others experience the real you. 
Have the courage to be yourself, 
And realize that you are 
A wonderful person.
