Positive Poetry      The Magic   You must search Or you won’t find It But it’s right before your eyes The vision Of a dream That can come true.   It’s the riddle with an answer What you want but mighty not know   It’s the magic on the other side of you                                             -©lch        "Declaration of Independence"    I declare my independence!   For my life - my soul's at stake   For my personal protection - certain things I must forsake.   Some problems and some people I have decided to reject -   Unproductive negativity can have such a bad effect.   Besides, it's a matter of self respect.     Freedom Rings!     It's sound is now my song - an emancipating melody.   My life's in line with what's divine - universal harmony.     I resolve to make my life my best   My say - my way shall reign   And I proclaim from now 'til always I will master my domain.                                            © lch                                                   "Whenever Life Seems Awful"              Whenever life seems awful like your luck's rolled out the door                  When misery is mounting and you just can't take more no more                  When the peace and quiet you've coveted seem to vanish without a trace                  When happiness has gone away leaving sadness in its place                  When it seems you're down about as low as terrible can go                  That's the time for this advice I think everyone should know:                  Each challenge gives us each a chance to polish off our strength                  To pleasure determination by extraordinary lengths                  To impress ourselves with courage..fortitude and pride and                 to be the type of person that we truly are inside                  For each bad..there's good..and better We just have to do our best                  To turn around the tough times...That's life's eternal test.                                                                           © lch

"For Too Many Tomorrows"   For too many tomorrows I have promised myself things would finally change I'd break those bad habits and rearrange my life but then . . . for too many tomorrows I'd begin again.     I'd think and I'd plan and I'd hope and I'd dream but each day was just like the last . . . it seemed I was stuck in a rut - trying nothing new nor exciting nor different - each day I would do just the same old thing for too many tomorrows to count.     Now, there are Dreames and Doers who do what they dream they plan their tomorrows doing only what seems important instead of wasting all of their time.   So, let's start tomorrow today to pave a way to go after our goals and live our dreams and be someone who takes a chance to live tomorrow today.    © lch 2000 Back to The Happiness Network   Back to Home Page
