MY FAIR JENNY
a poem by Bee Manzano-Aguila
The image of brown straight hair
with a small naughty smile...
which changes to the sound of belly laughter...
then to another smile... sad... quiet...
Heart of love... generous... extremes... afraid.
Believe in your inner strength and beauty.
this... shines from you and others will reflect it.
you will never see the mirror of yourself unless you open the light from inside...
It is there... quiet and beautiful...
My fair Jenny.
MEET
ME IN MY DREAMS
a poem by Lynne Barker
Do you ever let your mind wander to places far away,
Have thoughts that give you pleasure and make you want to stay?
Lately, I find myself going to this peaceful solitude,
Where you and I are together, and no one can intrude.
We walk along the beaches, make love on warm white sand,
Share our dreams and desires and hold each other's hand.
We know what the other is feeling just by a glance or touch,
I have never felt so loved or wanted anyone so much.
So if you want to take a break from life's daily pains and schemes,
Just let your mind go wandering and meet me in my dreams.
A Creed To
Live By
a poem by Nancye Sims
Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others.
It is because we are different that each of us is special.
Don't set your goals by what other people deem important.
Only you know what is best for you.
Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Cling to them as they would your life, for without them, life is meaningless.
Don't let your life slip through your fingers by living in
the past or the future.
By living your life one day at a time, you live all the days of your life.
Don't give up when you still have something to give.
Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.
Don't be afraid to admit that you are less than perfect.
It is this fragile thread that binds each of us together.
Don't be afraid to encounter risks.
It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.
Don't shut love out of your life by saying it's impossible
to find.
The quickest way to receive love is to give;
The fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly;
And the best way to keep love is to give it wings.
Don't dismiss your dreams.
To be without dream is to be without hope;
To be without hope is to be without purpose.
Don't run through life so fast that you forget...
Not only where you've been, but also where you are going.
Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way.
Yesterday is History
Tomorrow is a Mystery
And Today... Today is a gift
That's why we call it The Present.
I Have
Learned.....

Phenomenal Woman
a poem by Maya Angelou
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies
I'm not cute or built to suit a model's fashion size
But when I start to tell them
They think I'm telling lies.
I say it's the reach of my arms
The span of my hips
The stride of my steps
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman ...Phenomenally
Phenomenal Woman... that's me.
I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please, and to a man,
The fellows stand or fall down on their knees
Then they swarm around me, a hive of honeybees
I say it's the fire in my eyes
And the flash of my teeth
The swing of my waist
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman...Phenomenally
Phenomenal Woman... that's me.
Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me
They try so much, but they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say it's the arch of my back
The sun of my smile
The ride of my breasts
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman... Phenomenally
Phenomenal Woman... that's me.
Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say it's in the click of my heels
The bend of my hair
The palm of my hand
The need for my care.
'Cause I'm a woman... Phenomenally
Phenomenal Woman... that's me.
