PARENTS AS ARTISTS

When your child is born, they are simply a blank slate.
They are but a canvas, for your artwork to demonstrate.
Artwork, is not a duplication, but an opportunity for art.
No formula or directions are given, right from the start.

MORE THAN BEFORE

Never less, or never more.
Never equal, out the door.
Compare to some, to all.
Making everyone then fall.

X-RAY VISIONS OF HOPE

Turn on your x-ray vision, and then lets look inside of anybody.
The differences outside, the same inside for us all, to embody.
Our skin color, is just the melanin, that our skin must possess.
The color of our shell and human interiors, make us all digress.

LET LOVE GROW

Love is a feeling, that comes from emotions we all feel inside.
The combination of trust, respect, kindness, and even pride.
Affection we feel for others, must always start with ourselves.
Love doesn’t come from any gift, packaged by Santa’s

CALMING OUR CHOICES

When I’m feeling overwhelmed, give me the power to raise me up.
Don’t let the water start to rapidly overflow, from inside of my cup.
These feelings, overcome me, making it almost too much to bear.
The panic, doom, and terror, I feel inside, outside, and everywhere.

DESTINATION: PLEASANT

All the good things in life, are found on the other side of fear.
Enduring difficult emotions, can always be, a pain in the rear.
Most people hate feeling difficult emotions, wanting it to go.
Not truly understanding, they gave up, what they can bestow.

OUR SECRET SKELETONS

The secrets of the skeletons, always remain, in our closet.
Some will try to take a withdraw, or even make a deposit.
Like a cobra’s snake skin, they will always leave a thin trail.
The skeletons, that have been shown and removed, prevail.

SHADOWS OF A SHADOW

My shadow, is scared, of everyone, but not, me.
Following me around, giving me the third degree.
He chases me, whenever I run, at a great speed.
Always with me, it is me, who must, then concede.

DARE TO COMPARE

Our brain counts objects, and make comparisons automatically, without a command.
Taking this to the extreme, it compares things, that you will inevitably misunderstand.
Comparing ourselves to others by our possessions and desires, we’ll always fall short.
Disappointed, shocked, angry, jealous,or envious, we act unexpectedly a

THE USUAL SUSPECT

They eventually discovered the person to blame for all of your misfortune.
The suspect in question is charged with first degree murder and distortion.
The eyewitness confirms the identity, of the detained suspect in question.
Much to your own dismay and surprise, that person, is your own reflection.
