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
