With Your Whole Heart

With Your Whole Heart

With your whole heart
be yourself
see yourself as you truly are.

With your whole heart
speak your truth
tell your story even if no one follows you.

With your whole heart
give of yourself
love with a love that will never end.

With your whole heart
do not cower
but keep fighting with heart and courage.

With your whole heart
see the beauty
under the trembling rot of decay.

With your whole heart
know thyself
and wield your weapon based on your art.

Do Not Waver

Do Not Waver

Those things within you
reach;
do not waver on them.

To waver is a lack of faith
teach;
yourself to stand your ground.

Do not waver
because you will falter
and all you ask 
God's gifts
will slip through your fingers.

Be resolute 
never leave you
to wander in the dark.

Let your way be lit
by a truth only faith can shine
Do not waver
in this your time
Instead choose your weapon
draw your victory line.

Life

Life

Life is a harsh teacher
and you will learn
the grass isn't always greener
and youthful exuberance 
relegated to its urn.

Life doesn't give you extra point
because you meant well.
It will show you, you don't know
what you need to know
by bringing you low.

Life uses time
as the tool 
to showcase the rules, 
that can keep you from dying.

Though you start off  sprinting
Life slows you us down,
so in this lifetime
you can make your imprint.
