Live Your Life

Posted by Christina Morley |
















Do you sometimes feel your life is a dead-end?
Have you given up hope, or just lack having a friend?
What are the thoughts that run through your head?
You own them, so choose the positive instead.

Why focus on the bad when you can note the good?
Find what makes you glad even if you’re misunderstood.
You can take charge of life by not pointing the finger.
Let thankful thoughts be the thoughts that linger.

Maybe you’ve had to go without a thing or two.
Maybe growing up at home felt more like a zoo.
But who cares about the grudges you now nurse?
You must move on, be the one to forgive first.

Go for a walk on a moonlit evening.
Find a song your heart wants to sing.
There’s so much you can be grateful for.
Open your eyes and look for more.

Now breathe in, shoulders back, and step out.
It’s time to find out what life is all about.
You were created for such a time as this.
Your destiny is something you don’t want to miss.

Outside, Under the Sky

Posted by Christina Morley |


Outside
Under the sky
I see the rain falling
In the night
Falling
Shimmering
Pierced by a light
Above my head
Falling
Glimmering
Gently washing my face
Washing it of every trace
Of frustration
And discouragement
Falling
Wet and cool
Refreshing
I lift my head
I lift my hands
In the night
To catch the rain
Within in my sight
Falling
Like tiny diamonds
Presents to my soul
Filling me with peace
And making me whole
Falling
Swirling
Tickling my skin
In the darkness of the night
Standing in the rain
With one single light
Above my head
Outside
Under the sky
Free
