Sometimes..If we slow down just enough in our busy lives..Nature will share with us..Some of it’s most beautiful creations..If you are willing to listen for it..
Moments so real..Our memories..Forever in my soul..Love so true..Time granted our wish..Ever lasting..Dreams so real..We held it in our hearts..Always in my thoughts..Feelings of absence..Now fills my heart..Forever missing your touch..-Andy1076
Today, Is a special day reminding us of rebirth and hope. Of faith and strength to lead to a new life. Which is why I share with you the story I’ve been following from a couple of days back. This is the second part of the story about miracle baby Mary, abandoned by her birth parents and saved by divine intervention. True blessing to her adoptive parents!
I rarely step away from writing poetry and quotes, It is a passion of mine. But, after reading this article this morning I couldn’t focus on anything else. We often hear on the news about bank robberies and shootings and people losing their lives, It’s the sad reality of the world we live in. But, This is too much. The above article speaks about a step father who assaults his step daughter by beating her to death and prior to the murder he had burned the little girl with a cigarette lighter a number of times.
The heart wrenching part though, Is despite being in agonizing pain after being burned. The little girl made her way to her mother’s bedroom. Knowing that her step father would be there, to tell her mother that she was in pain by saying ‘boo boo tummy” prior to collapsing on the ground. The little angel clearly braved her way to her mother hoping to find safety and comfort, but in doing so further aggrevated a ruptured vein in her body, that’s when she took her last breath and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
It’s amazing how much our legal system fails us here. I mean seriously, after his actions they still granted this coward a chance at an appeal? He assaulted a child who not only couldn’t fight back but holds no hate and only fear and curiosity. Yet, they granted him what? 5 minutes to make a pathetic defence that he only had grade 9 education and was only 22? sorry but, that’s not an argument. That’s a coward refusing to admit that he’s done something insanely monstrous. Now, I know I probably will sound out of line here but where is the mother in all this? where’s her statement? I pray and pray that the little angel has made her way back to heaven where she’s no longer suffering and true justice will be served upon the monster that took her life.
I thought I could heal you..Show you the world you had yet to see..Instead..Over time..I found that it was my heart that needed to be saved..So..No matter how it ended I will eternally be grateful for the love you shared..
Sometimes we want to fill the gap in our heart so much..We forget..Not everyone who shares our dreams is meant to walk with us for a lifetime..Some just show us the right paths to take..Taking us to the one we’ve missed all along..
If you fall I will catch you..If you lose your way I’ll help you stay true..I will share with you all your burdens..All I ask for.. Is just this day with you..
It begins with a delicate flower..So warm her smile..Ever so gentle her heart..Every touch soft as snow yet reaching the deepest part of my soul..I’ve never known love like this..Now I can’t ever imagine a day without..So rare..Yet so profound..
Nothing in life is ever truly clear..The truth is often lost between confusion and false hope.. Listen to the voice of reason first and foremost before making mistakes you can’t take back in the future..
It was that one summer.. When she whispered the words that would stay etched in my heart for a lifetime..Her sweet gentle voice..Like a soft melody to my broken soul..Every breath.. A wish for the moment to never end..Time itself..Had lost it’s meaning..In the moment she said.. Stay with me..
The very first words speak to the heart..Within them carrying emotions..Followed by desire..Thoughts long kept silent finally set free..So much to share..Yet..So little time..Say the right words and they will last a lifetime..Speak in haste and silence will always follow..
Sometimes, the tiniest little things in life we never expect. Turn out to be the things we actually need most, always look at every situation at every angle before giving up because the answer you are searching for may in fact be right on front of you.
Sometimes..We still meet people who remind us of those who have left us.. Bringing back all the emotions we once thought lost.. It is during these times.. That we ask ourselves.. What it is that keeps us holding on and what can we learn from that previous experience..
“If you truly mattered..They would never have left you in the distance..”
One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned from doing my morning runs. Is there’s always going to be someone who will be on the same path as you. Some, will stop to say hello and want to get to know you and some will just keep on walking past while you talk. In some ways, this applies to life as well.
We are all trying to reach one destination, along the way we meet many different people. Some are meant to stay, some are simply in the middle of a transition and are just curious about the path you are taking. They will join you and show you some of the obstacles they’ve faced and help you overcome yours, after that. It’s time to keep moving, It’s only hard to move on because we then realize how quiet and how alone it can get.
As I sit here under this tree..I do wonder If I should have taken a few steps back..So that ..you might remember the first day You said hello..So you might remember..Who I meant to you..Once upon a time..
No path in life is ever straight and forward..There will always be twists and turns that will lead you to different destinations..It will feel like a struggle until you realize you are stronger with every step you take..
We don’t walk in the shadows of our past..We just tend to let our deepest scars remind us how deeply we were hurt..Let the pain remind you how strong you are..Not how much you endured..
To truly live life as its meant to be..Is to let go of all that binds you..let life take you wherever it may..Don’t plan..Don’t worry over what has yet to come..obstacles will reveal themselves and experience will prepare you for them..
The only limits in life are the ones you set your mind to..Always believe in yourself..Don’t ever slow down and don’t ever look back..Not even if the world is giving you every reason to..Believe in this and you will accomplish something you never thought possible..
Sometimes we arrive at the end of a long journey..Then we ask ourselves where we go from here..truth is..there is no real answer..just have to keep moving forward and let life continue show you the different paths you have yet to choose from..
This weekend, My little lady and I decided to visit the Olympic Village. In downtown Vancouver. I have to confess, I haven’t been there since 2010 when the Winter Olympics was over. During the event the area was restricted only to the athletes and since then I’ve been busy at work, So I figured that since we have the time. Why not?
Upon arriving in the area, we found parking to be insanely difficult. Which is strange, considering over 80% of the village condos were still available for sale. Each one is almost a million dollars a piece, The local newspapers had been saying a ton of negative things about the place. But you know what? it really is nice! there’s not much noise from the main roads and it really does feel like a small village, My daughter and I didn’t have to dodge cars or anything.
The biggest reason I wanted to come visit though, was to take a look for myself just what is out here. Thing is, I can see all of this from my workplace and It didn’t seem right for me to not at least take a peek, even if it’s to see this giant bird here! let me tell you, If Sylvester had seen this bird he wouldn’t think about chasing after tweety bird again! oh no!
Just in case Sylvester tries though? right across the other side, there’s another one. I am very impressed by the details the artist put into his work, Kudos to the effort put in to make it look so life like. It looks brand new despite how it’s been over a year since it was installed, how’s that for craftsmanship huh?
Overall, As short as a visit as it was? it really is a nice place to visit sometime just to sit back and relax, it’s easy enough to get here since the skytrain system does stop here. I know this is a short post and I apologize since I’ve been really busy lately, But I hope you enjoyed the pictures ^_^
It’s not about what you feel..Nor is it about the words you say..Life’s journey is about remembering all the memories that brought you to where you are now..
