Beautiful rose.
Soft and velvety.
Protected by sharp thorns.
Bright in the sunshine.
Dark in the moonlight.
A two-faced wonder.

WEB OF LIES
Have you ever been caught
in a web of your own deceit?
A web of lies that kept growing.
One lie leading to the next.
So much easier to be truthful.
No lies to remember.
Easier on your brain and on others.
Stick to the truth.
Or be stuck in your own web.
A LONG HARD ROAD
If I had known it was going to be so hard,
Involving computer skills to the extreme,
I might have thought twice about it,
Thought twice about writing my book.
Writers must write each and every day.
We must promote our books daily.
We must post on our blogs each day.
But there’s not enough hours in a day.
How do other writers accomplish all this?
How do they leave free time for their families?
They must be expert jugglers.
Experts at writing, blogging, and juggling.
I must learn this dance.
This high-wire walk.
This never-ending battle.
I must learn to juggle.
I will do it.
I will do it all.
Just give me the chance.
Book two is waiting to be written.
I feel free.
I feel empowered.
I will survive.
James Patterson, eat my dust.
THE ROAD TAKEN
THE ROAD TAKEN
The road can feel endless.
Never-ending.
Following twists and turns.
Over mountains.
Down valleys.
On its quest.
To reach the end.
It can be hard to follow.
Using up your strength.
Taking away your breath.
But soldier on.
The end will be worth it.
NEVER GIVE UP
Never give up.
Keep your head up high,
little one.
Keep on fighting.
No matter how hard, or
how fruitless it may seem.
The road my be long and bumpy.
Full of pot holes and road blocks.
It is worth it.
It is always worth it.
WEB OF LIES
Have you ever been caught
in a web of your own deceit?
A web of lies that grew
out of control.
One lie leading to the next.
So much easier to be truthful.
No lies to remember.
Easier on your brain and on others.
Stick to the truth or
be stuck in your own web.
TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH
Take a leap with me.
A leap of faith into the unknown.
Who can you trust?
Is there anyone in your life
that you can trust with yours?
A hard question to ask.
An even harder question to answer.
