TRIUMPH
I am out in the sun
Crawled out from the dark prison
One i made for myself
I had the key to my chains all along
My tears have dried
My smile has returned
God has turned my mourning into dancing
The sorrow of the night has passed
He has answered my prayers
He has carried me through the storm
Given me peace
Given me joy
Given me forgiveness
My trespasses are forgiven
My slate wiped clean
I am back in the arms of my Heavenly Father
How sweet it is how safe it is
Lord i am where i need to be
My trials have made me who i am
I am learning to see myself as You see me
Learning to place my trust totally in You
Learning to love myself as You love me
Learning to forgive as You have forgiven me
THANK YOU LORD THANK YOU LORD
YOU HAVE LISTENED AND SHOWN YOURSELF STRONG
I WILL NOT BE SHAMED
I WILL KEEP MY EYES ON YOU
MY CAPTAIN STEER MY SHIP
GUIDE MY PATH
(Dedicated to all who struggle with disappointment and self doubt. We will triumph we already have)

HOPE
Today as I walked to work
God taught me a lesson in hope.
There by the sidewalk
Was a lovely plant with white flowers
Surrounded by tarmac it overcame obstacles
It broke free from underground sprouted
Blossomed flowers with the sweetest scent
As i walked past i saw it
There by the side was a purple blossom
Amongst the white a solitary purple blossom
God's answer to my prayers
Hope is overcoming obstacles and sprouting
Hope is continue growing despite harsh conditions
Hope is having blossoms that give a sweet scent
Hope is that purple blossom amongst the white
Have hope be the purple blossom
Never lose hope even when they call u crazy
Never lose hope even when u feel u no one is for you
And like that purple blossom you shall flourish
And give the sweetest scent and give hope to the masses.

PHOENIX
I saw her today
Huddled in a corner,
I saw her eyes
I know the look
She walked into my room
She had a brave face
I knew that face
We sat and talked and out it came
Tears flowed freely
How someone robbed her
Forced himself on her
The questions of i should have fought harder
I should have screamed louder
I hate what I see
She calmed down
Opened up had a good cry
It got better
She is wounded not broken
She shall rise
As we all did before her
A phoenix is reborn
DEDICATED TO ALL VICTIMS OF RAPE. WE ARE ALL PHOENIXES.

DARE TO BE
I dare to be me
I dare to smile in the midst of pain
I dare to love myself as God loves me
I dare to stand up for myself
I dare to see myself as beautiful
I dare to listen to my inner voice
I dare to be different
I dare to defy the norms
I dare to be the best i can be
I dare to be my personal cheerleader
I dare to speak my mind
I dare to love whom I love
I dare to believe that i will triumph

UNTITLED
Today was an interesting day,
Work was so busy i never got time to sleep
Then a little baby boy taught me the meaning of fighting
Hes one year old with heart failure who was in distress
I did all i could not to lose him till i sat by his bed crying
Then i got down on my knees and asked God to step in
The baby got well then the patient next to him had a psychotic break
Almost smashed him with a monitor but thank God we stopped him
I swore i would have killed him then later in the psychiatric wing he coded
Rushed there and kneeling by his side i resuscitated him
Till we took him to ICU only to be told we should have brought him earlier

RAYS OF SUNSHINE
Well today was a beautiful Sunday
Sun shining birds singing and my shift began at noon.
I was feeling a tad bit sad and blue,
Then i met a friend on the way to work,
My mother thanked me for doing the grocery shopping
My patients were grateful today
Of special mention is Edith, shes asthmatic and pregnant
But bubbly of full of joy even during an attack she laughs
She always greets me with a smile
Full of expectation and happiness
With a loving husband and child on the way
She reminds me that you can always smile
She made me smile today

FORGETTING
How does one let go of love
how does one move past all the memories
Letting go of the love and say move on
All the memories
The intimate moments shared
the laughter the warmth the tears
the fights the reconciliations
i once tried and failed miserably
So now what do i do?
The answer lies within
So i wait in my garden tending to my roses
As i walk amongst the jacaranda flowers
How does one let go of love
how does one move past all the memories
Letting go of the love and say move on
All the memories
The intimate moments shared
the laughter the warmth the tears
the fights the reconciliations
i once tried and failed miserably
So now what do i do?
The answer lies within
So i wait in my garden tending to my roses
As i walk amongst the jacaranda flowers
