A L O H A From Honolulu!
Life's a force
The rising tide.
Ride the storms
You will abide.
Feel the power
Will to soar,
Open your wings
Dare to explore.
Let nothing dim
That inner light,
Invincible
So pure and bright!
Wild and deep.
My soul to keep.
Dreams may sing
When mountains sleep.
Spirit’s a fortress
Defend the land.
Rest your worries
In the hollow
Of God's hand.
You are enough
Brilliant and bold.
Your story’s still writing
Much yet to unfold.
With every challenge
May you rise and grow,
By radiant power
In steadfast glow.
May you rise and grow,
By radiant power
In steadfast glow.

The secret to success
is to be in harmony
with existence, to
always be calm, to
let each wave of life
wash us a little farther
up the shore.

ReplyDeleteGreat poem today. I love that amazing rainbow at the end, and Pixie drinking fresh water from her indoor waterfall is lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour first quote got me thinking the old hymn. Many things get me thinking of the old songs,
ReplyDelete"Will your anchor hold in the storms of life?
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife
When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain
Will your anchor drift or firm remain?"
Thank you 🙏🏽
DeleteBeautiful !!! With every challenge
ReplyDeleteMay you rise and grow,
By radiant power
In steadfast glow.
