KNOW YOUR WORTH

I cried a river of flowing unending tears
It wasn't the pain of being hurt
It was a joyful river of tears
I was freed from the bondage that I held within
I cried a river of flowing tears
Tears which accumulated through the years
They were tears of a glorious birth
A voice whispered to me, "Know your worth"
I cried a river of Joyful tears
Telling me I am wonderfully and uniquely made
I am now celebrating my new identity
As I watch my past fade away to eternity

YOU ARE WORTHY

BELIEVE YOU ARE WORTHY

KNOW YOUR WORTH

IF YOU ONLY KNOW

The rantings of a rejected lover? There are people who reject an intended romantic partner's advance for a particular reason or another, but because that person has decided to not pursue that person anymore and look for a relationship in someone else, now that someone else has won and you are miserably pursuing him or her when he or she is already 'taken'.

Stop wishing, hoping and crying over spilled milk. You had him or her right there in the palm of your hands and for some reason played hard to get, or it may have been that you thought someone else was a better choice than them, but lost in the end because you were deceived, now you wish you had grabbed the opportunity while it stared you in the eyes.

GET YOUR OWN and move on, may I say.

If you only know
That I whisper your name
When I sleep at nights
That I call out to you
Wish you were here with me
'til the morning light

If you only know
That I'd be wanting to tell you
How much I adore you
But you keep passing on by
Simply waving a short bye-bye

If you only know
How much I love you
Wishing you were near
Wanting to tell you so
But all you said was hello

If you only know
How much I need your kiss
That it is you that I truly miss
I yearn for your warm embrace
Oh how I'd love to see your face

If you only know
How I dream of your arms around me
Caressing and touching me gently
I regret I didn't look your way
Nor listened to what you had to say

If you only know
That the thought of you makes me ponder
Though seem impossible, I'll have you never
I now wish I can turn back time
Time when you could have been mine

If you only know
That I cry myself to sleep at nights
Although I know this is not right
I have lost out on my many chances
I'm so sorry I had ignored your advances

TOMORROW....Disguised as TODAY

My philosophy has always been TOMORROW always comes; it's just a matter of, if you don't see it, you were not planned to be in it. I consider my TOMORROW is always TODAY.

I had a conversation TODAY with TOMORROW and this is what he said.

This poem says it all....

I asked Tomorrow;

Why do they call you 'Tomorrow',
When you have never come?
You have always made Today
Beat you to the count

Why are you such a coward,
Why don't you ever show your face?
Always letting Yesterday and Today
Beat you to the race

Yesterday has come and gone,
Today is here, right where it belongs
Why are you still hiding,
Keep me waiting here so long?

Who really cares about 'Tomorrow?'
I am simply living for 'Today',
The day has ended and as I fell fast asleep
Another day named, 'Today'; in he slowly creeps

Then he boldly said:

I am called Tomorrow;

Why are you so mad at me ?
I'm always here waiting so patiently,
Do you really think I do not care
While to the Hopeful, I'm so dear?

Impatience makes you say such awful things of me
'Today' always comes as me, so disguisedly
You see, I am also fully disguised as Hope
Disguised for those who are patiently willing to cope

Please don't worry if you never see me come
Because ‘Today’ will always do my daily rounds
And willingly take my rightful place
So you see, I never, ever lose the race

‘Today’ and I work hand in hand for all
Especially for the ones who Hope and call
However, ‘Today’ is always given the credit
Because 'Tomorrow' is always judged on merit

Then I said to 'Tomorrow'....

Forgive me for judging you so terribly
I never waited around for you patiently
Because 'Today' is who I always knew
I never put off what I can do for ‘Today’
Because ‘Tomorrow’ always seemed so far away

Then he proudly said,

"I am always there for those who still have HOPE in me, I am called TOMORROW"

Then I walked on with a big smile, knowing that though I believe in Today and Now, that as long as there is a Tomorrow; Hope, Faith and Perseverance will exist and probably someone will have a brighter TODAY and TOMORROW.

Simply Appreciating that TOMORROW ALWAYS COMES; BUT always disguised as TODAY
