It's My Dream

Posted by Mary D'Alba on Thursday, May 20, 2010, In : Poetry 

It's my dream,

one that I've created.

It's beautiful and colorful,

potential in all its glory.


It's my dream,

one that is so personal.

It comes from my heart

and explores all of my soul.


It's my dream,

one that is obtainable.

I may doubt, I may have fear

but I can't stop now.


It's my dream,

one that is mine.

It helps me to breathe, hope,

and awakes all of my cells.


It's my dream,

I love it as I do my own flesh and blood.

It propels my forward,

it shows everyone, including me, my g...

You Are Truly Loved

Posted by Mary D'Alba on Saturday, March 27, 2010, In : Poetry 
I wish you could see yourself
through the eyes that I see you.
You are amazing, funny, smart
and I hate to see you blue.
 
I see you doubting yourself,
and I want you to know I care.
You have been through a lot
and it wasn't always fair.
 
So hold your head up high,
find your way back to center,
stand up for yourself,
don't let anyone tell you they're better.
 
You are the opinion that matters,
your life is what you make of it.
Stop listening to the other voices
and don't ever q...

We Have Hope

Posted by Mary D'Alba on Saturday, December 26, 2009, In : Spiritual 
We have hope
when we pray
when we wish upon a star
when we reach out
when we find courage to speak
 
We have hope
when we ask for help
when we try something new
when we take a deep breath
when we put aside differences
 
We have hope
when we make changes
when we work to be better
when we see our faults
when we leave the past behind
 
We have hope
when we deal with our stuff
when we do our work
when we face each day
when we love with no boundaries
 
We have hope
we offe...

The Hole

Posted by Mary D'Alba on Sunday, December 20, 2009, In : Spiritual 
I'm already at the bottom
I look up, see the light
how do I get out of here?
the shovel is not going to help
 
I wonder why I thought
it was best to keep digging
did I want to be hidden?
did I want someone to not find me?
 
But now that I am here
I feel no better, the perspective is darker
There has been no improvement
actually, things have gotten worse
 
So now I have to find a way out
I have to climb back up to the top
and as much work as it took to go down
it will take even more work to ge...

How Do I?

Posted by Mary D'Alba on Saturday, December 12, 2009, In : Spiritual 
 
How do I see clearly?
Wipe the cobwebs from my eyes
look through the tears
and see what it really there?
 
How do I think clearly?
Shut off the voices
stop making lists in my head
and focus on one thing at a time

How do I act with purpose?
With all the things I must do
with everything that is undone
I have too much on my plate
 
How do I touch my Spirit?
when it seems like it isn't there
or it's buried deep inside
beyond my reach?
 
How do I get over the hurt?
when it...

Don't Fall

Posted by Mary D'Alba on Tuesday, November 24, 2009, In : Spiritual 

Don't Fall
it may be easy to drop
but you can't rise up
if you head below
 
Don't Fall
it may be easy to stop
but you can't move forward
if you give in
 
Don't Fall
it may be easy to let go
but you can't achieve
if you let it beat you
 
Don't Fall
it may be easy to give up
but you can't make progress
if you let them win
 
Don't Fall
it may be easy to believe the lies
but you can't find the truth
if you buy into the words outside you
 
Don't Fall
fight for what's important
keep your head up
an...

Stand Up

Posted by Mary D'Alba on Friday, November 13, 2009,

Stand Up
to all the voices
that create doubt and sadness
 
Stand Up
to all the people
who tell you dreams are impossible
 
Stand Up
to the distractions
that try to derail you from your mission
 
Stand Up
to the past hurt
that holds you back from the present
 
Stand Up
to the fear
that makes challenges appear real
 
Stand Up
for yourself
no one else will do it for you
 
Stand Up
get on your feet
stand tall, proud and strong
and let no one knock you down
