My Little Neighbour

A little girl young and spirited
Carries with her the gifts of strength and cheer
One, from the old times, she must have inherited
To so state her bold thoughts loud and clear.

Infectious with her energy she is
Her clear eyes, no place for fear.
Very outright, is this young little miss,
To all those willing or unwilling to hear.

Curiosity has her on her toes all the while
As she absorbs everything she sees
Which she portrays as sharp wit and guile
With utter confidence and ease.

Positive I am, having enjoyed her ardor,
Her tenacity, her fervor, her glow,
That my little neighbor,
To a beautiful strong woman shall she grow.

Worthy

This picture is for you.

Just take it as a sign.
Of how your life is.

The sun is setting.
It is casting shadows long and deep.
With each passing minute, darkness grows.
As does your fear and anxiety.
Doubt plagues your mind as you look around.
All you see is darkness and the light fading away.
You cannot beat the demons of your mind,
Who want to come out and play.

Even the safest corners of your mind fall prey
To the hopelessness waiting to take root.

Little do you know then
That the sun sets only to rise the next day
The sun sets so that the Earth slumbers
That it sets so that we can prove ourselves

That we can stay strong
Despite every negative sign around.
That we believe strongly within:
The sun WILL rise again.

We are to prove ourselves worthy enough
To see the sun rise again.
