My Dream of Me and You

If eternities really lasted forever
And skies were always blue
I would sit under the biggest tree
And profess my love to you

If the night sky always stayed still
And the moon shined bright in the sky too
I would lay underneath the stars
And dream of me and you

So many times I ponder
On what you and I could be
I reminiscence about the time together
And wonder if you would ever leave

The uncertainty of it all kills me
But it doesn't kill my heart
Which keeps beating for you every single second
That you and I are apart

If things could be my way
I would have everything including you
But instead I will sit here and wait
Til my dream of you and I come true







The Morning Hustle

Stumbling on forgotten sleep
Awaken from my slumber
My body moves in  decrepit ways
But my bed I can rest in no longer

The morning dew is beautiful out
Yet no birds are there to sing
For I had to rise before the sun
I do this every day

What is my motivation?
It's called a J.O.B.
For I would rather lose countless slumber
Than wake up each morning without a place to be

And yes I do value
The days that I have away
For when I am free from work
I can slumber all night and day



Work shouldn't consume your life. You should work to get the money that you want to live the life you want to live. That is its only purpose. Enjoy your life! -Monica Renata

The Climb

Climbing up this mountain
Gripping trying not to fall
I put aside all my fear
I will not be overwhelmed by it all

The sun radiates down
And the wind whips across my back
I feel my heart beat faster
And then my body starts to react

My grip gets much tighter
My feet lock in place too
I am like a little spider
Trying to climb out of a glass of juice

But yet I cannot give up
And I will not give up now
I reach up ahead of me
And I never look back down

I keep going til I am almost there
And then my fingers bleed
But this is just one trouble
I will have to suck up indeed

Hand, Foot
Hand, Hand, Foot
Seems to be the pattern of the climb
And then I feel a blade of grass
And I know the win is mines

Life is full of challenges
Some are mountains indeed
But just have faith in yourself
And always believe
Believe that you are capable
Believe that you can accomplish all
Because you will be surprised at the things you can accomplish
Even though they are so tall

They always said I couldn't do it
They said it was too much for me
But I have climbed a mountain every day
And the mountain is the one who faced defeat

Life is full of challenges. Some are big and some are small. Sometimes we complain about hills in life, and fear the mountains because they are so tall. But every goal can be accomplished, and it all starts within you. For you can complete any climb, if to yourself you are always true!!  -Monica Renata

My Favorite Flowers

Just like my favorite flowers
So beautiful and bright
Enhances the mood of the room
Radiates in the light
Each petal is uniquely beautiful
The fragrance smells so divine
You remind me of my favorite flowers
Only difference is that you get better with time



Pretty, Pretty, Pretty

Pretty, Pretty, Pretty
That's what they say to me
Yet they take no time
To see what's underneath

Pretty, Pretty, Pretty
That's what they seem to see
But what if all of this makeup
Quickly went away

Pretty, oh so pretty
What it is like being a girl
Being valued by her physical appearance
While her insides are ignored by the world

Grandpa Said

Grandpa told me  many things
I still remember what he said

He said treat others with kindness
And don't let success go to your head

He said appreciate the little things
Because those are the things that matter the most

Don't ever forget where you came from
Because it will help you get to where you plan to go

Oh I still remember
All the things that grandpa said

So I live life according to this
And I must admit life is going swell

Who knew that those few words
Could fit exactly into life

Grandpa told me many things
And grandpa was very right

Can't Bring Me Down

I can't give up
I can't let disappointments get the best of me
Sometimes I may fall.... 
But I have to get back up
I must get back up!!!
I can't let the world break me. 
I can't let them break me down
They can't
And they won't!!
I will rise up
stronger than before
stronger than I have ever been
Today opens up a new chapter
I am changing the end of my own book of life
Sometimes it is great to go astray
And that is what I shall do 
No more holding my head down
No more feeling ashamed
No more being untrue to myself
I have to make it 
I want to make it
And I will not let anyone bring me down this time


Keep

Keep in mind those feelings
Keep in mind the words you say
Keep in mind your actions
For these affect others each day

Keep in mind your tone of voice
Keep in mind the way you slant your eyes
For they can make others feel as though they shouldn't speak to you at times

Keep in mind the ones you care about
Keep in mind how you don't want them to go away
Fix your problems within your world
Don't let your problems drive others away

Keep in mind those feelings
Keep in mind the words you say..
Because sometimes when you act recklessly
You make others walk away


Don't let the stresses of the world push away people who actually care about you. Learn how to not exert the anger from other faucets of your life upon those who love you....for if you don't...they might walk away. Don't throw away something you always thought you would keep. -Monica Renata


Genuine Kindness

Kindness....
Genuine Kindness...
What ever happened to this?
When was the last time you were kind to someone?
Not because you had to be kind...but because you wanted to be kind?

Sometimes we are so overwhelmed with our own lives that we think that we cannot spare an ounce of kindness. After all, it seems as though no one is taking time out of their day to show you "genuine kindness", so why should you bother showing someone else that?  We walk around each day and only think about me, Me, ME...but what about everyone else?

You are having a good day..someone else is having a good day too
You are having a bad day....someone else is having a bad day too
You are upset....someone else is upset too
But you will never know...
People are hard to read at times, but kindness has a way of making people smile

Genuine kindness...
That random kindness
That simple compliment
That helping hand...
People appreciate things like that..

It is true that some people do not appreciate kindness. They abuse those who are kind to them
But just because people like that exist, it doesn't mean that you should be afraid to be kind. You never know how your kindness can affect someone. Your encouraging words may give a young student the strength to finish school even though they were contemplating dropping out. Your assistance may make someone believe that it is possible to accomplish things they thought could never be reality. Your presence and support can make someone believe they are not alone.... Genuine kindness can do so much!!!

I guess what I am trying to say is........ Be kind to others. Others may not be kind to you, but be kind for yourself. It is such a blessing to reawaken a dead soul, and sometimes genuine kindness can do that for some people. Trust me... for kindness has done the same for me. :)






Life is Beautiful

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder
But what is there to hold
For life changes everyday
It will continue to change until we grow old
But what is the point of loving something
Exactly as it is now
For when time moves forward each second
Things seem to change somehow

The Little Girl Who Believed

I can do this!
I can do this!
All I have to do is try!

You could look into this little girls eyes
And tell she wanted a prize

Can you see this?
I can do this!
All I have to do is try!

She was really passionate about her work
And no one could deny

Give me the chance!
And I will prove that I can!
Just give me one chance please!

Yet every time she begged for it
She would never get the chance

Please Please Please!
Let me try!
Just Give me one chance!

She always seemed to be adamant about her views
She only wanted a chance

Give me a chance
That is all I wanted
I wanted someone to see

That if given the opportunity
I could be all that I could be

Everything I have ever earned
I had to work two times five times
Because even the ones who believed in me
Always had to deny

Deny my willpower
Deny my energy
They said I was wasting my time

They questioned why I was trying to be
Someone who I was not
But the funny thing is
If I was given the chance
I could work towards a better me
And then I could prove to them
I could be who I wanted to be

I could have developed as a person early on
And not put down on the spot
I would have been better at speaking
I would have had experience doing what I love
I would have experienced a lot

Instead they didnt believe in me
And I moving on
I cant fault them for what they have done
Because now I am strong

I have grown up to realize
That I could be anyone I want to be
And if I am never given the opportunity
I can open the door myself for me

I will find my true calling
I will rise over the word NO
Because I know that I can prosper
And I can do things on my own

That little girl who believed
Still resides in me
But now instead of believing
She can now fully see

She opened up her eyes
She helps all in need
Because she believes that one day
There will be people who help those who too believe
