Auld Lang Syne

Auld Lang Syne or
Old Long Since
Days Gone By
It's never made sense
The Poem or song
means New Year's Eve
Time to remember
Time to reflect
Traditions of the
 last night of the year
Auld Lang Syne
the time is here.

Dionysus God of Wine
Spirit of fertility
Symbol of rebirth
Lovely Pagan ritual
celebrated all over Earth.

Janus God of Time
transitions and beginnings
Allows you to look forward
Allows you to look back
Time to make new plans
Time to start anew.
The last day of the year.
A better year is up to you.

Resolutions and goals
our prosperity unfolds.
Can't wait to discover
what the new year will hold.

Quicksilver

Quicksilver days
blend into night
wondering if it all
will turn out right

Constant crazy
Where's my moment of lazy?

Quicksilver nights
turn into tomorrow
Is there any
time I can borrow?

Constant crazy
where's my moment of lazy

Night and Day
Day and Night
Promises are such
it's hard to deliver
all of it
quite
Quicksilver.

What Next

Now we think of tomorrow
as the new year approaches.
Now we think of tomorrow
and the promises it broaches.

How do we make next year better
for ourselves and for others?
How do we hold fast to dreams
and build dreams for another?

How do  we patiently wait
for prosperity to unfold?
How do we fulfill our
resolutions and goals?

What tomorrow brings
has yet to be told
Can't wait to see
what the new year unfolds.

Boxing Day (December 2011)

No it's not a prize fight match

There is no ref no belt no cash

There's Good King Wenceslas

and the feast of Stephen.

It's a holiday for those in service

A holiday that's well deserved

A chance for those who have a lot

To share with others what they've got.

A holiday for those in need

A holiday that's filled with glee

A holiday with a funny name

for boxing is just a silly game

But it's a holiday all the same.

Christmas Day

Today
a day
Meant to be
celebrated
not just for tangible gifts
but for spiritual benefits
Beauty of mind
body and soul
Generosity of spirit
Open heart
these are the gifts of which
we all should impart

Friends, Food, feelings
all greatly embraced
 Wealth of well being
which should always take place
Smiles upon each and every face
these are the gift we cannot replace

Peace love and happiness
laughter and loveliness
all of this
sealed with a kiss
a wish for a
Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve 2012

Happy wide bright eyes
Full of wonder and surprise
Eagerly awaiting the opening
of packages in every size
Scraps of colored paper
Decorate the floor
Giggles of excitement
A sound we all adore

A gathering of friends
Both old and new
Laughing and joking
reliving the past
creating new memories
which we'll cherish 
which will last

Stimulating conversation
unintentional revelations
Laughter and love
Huge warm hugs
Kisses, sighs
Late night goodbyes
Who could ask for more

Winter Solstice

Shortest day

Longest night

Autumn is over

Winter's arrived

Mayan Calendar ended today

doesn't spell doom

but the start of a new way

The sun stands still

to begin the journey

All the while the world is turning

Rebirth is the cultural belief

not a time of pain and grief

Shortest day

Longest night

Autumn is over

Winter's arrived

Holidays

Family

Friends

and Fun

Wishing the best

to everyone

Bundle up

Hug and Huddle

don't forget a kiss or cuddle

Shortest day

Longest night

Autumn is over

Winter's arrived

Generous Gifts

I thought your gift giving was through
I distinctly remember telling you
Feathered friends would not do
I did not know that up your sleeve
You continued to deceive.

Day six I soon awake
to find my place in a terrible state

Six geese a laying here and there
Eggs and feathers everywhere

Day Seven arrived to me at dawn
A group of several swimming swans
Now 13 fowls I find have I
Such a terrible sight to spy

I figured if I closed the door
This wouldn't happen anymore
To give me gifts that I abhor
I'm not the one that you adore.

It's happened time and time again

Eight maids a milking as many cows,
There's the Nine ladies dancing now.
And if you were wondering where's the men
Lords a Leaping I've got ten.

And as if that wasn't bad enough

you continued to give me stuff

Eleven pipers piping up a storm

And Twelve drummers drumming is not the norm

In short my true love gave to me:

Twelve Drummers drumming which was just quite mean.

Eleven Pipers piping that was not a dream.

Ten Lords a leaping who liked to eat,

Nine Prima donnas on their feet,

Eight Maids a milking up at dawn,

A group of several swimming swans,

Six geese a laying here and there,

The quite unexpected Five Gold Rings,

Four Calling birds which left me without words,

Birds again with Three French hens,

Two Turtle Doves instead of gloves,

And the gift of which I had never heard

A partridge in a pear tree, ever so absurd.

These last 12 days have been quite crazed

In several certainly, sarcastic ways

Good luck to you

For I am warning you

I will have to give gifts 

As generously as you do

Rings of Gold

On the fifth day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Five Gold Rings
Four calling birds
Three French Hens
Two Turtledoves
and a Partridge in a Pear tree.

I never expected
Five Gold Rings
I never expected anything
The fine feathered menagerie
Made me believe you didn't care for me
Now I realize your creativity
An elaborate distraction's what this had to be

The silliness of feathered gifts
The plan to get me nice and miffed
All that you did
And now it's done
This game my love has been quite fun
As for other gifts
I don't need one
You've done more than enough and then some

Four Feathered Days

On the first day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
A partridge in a pear tree.

A bird is grand
but I don't understand
this partridge in a tree.

On the second day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Two turtle Doves and
A Partridge in a Pear Tree.

Stop sending me gifts
from the skies above.
Try to remember dear
You're my true love
And just say NO to Two Turtle Doves!

On the third day of Christmas
My true love gave to me
Three French hens, Two Turtle Doves
And a Partridge in a pear tree.

Birds again?
What is with men;
The same gifts over and over again.

On the fourth day of Christmas
my true love gave to me
Four Calling birds, Three French Hens
Two Turtledoves and a
Partridge in a Pear Tree.

I forgave you once
I forgave you twice
It was my mistake to
forgive you thrice

No more BIRDS
That's it I quit
Tomorrow dear
please Get with it!!!!

Christmas Peace

Why is it that it takes a holiday

For people to come close together?

And why is it that there’s no other way

For us to show love for one another?

We should let the whole world know

That we all are one with each other;

And no matter what the world does now

We should change.

The world it should live in sweet harmony

And we should all give of ourselves;

And peace on earth, good will towards men

Should rule from this lifetime till the end.

Well we should let the Christmas Peace

Ring through the world each and every day

So we can all know we’re not alone. 

And if we let the Christmas peace

Ring through the world each and everyday

Then we could all feel that we’re at home. 

And the world could be a better place

For the entire human race

If the Christmas Peace could just live on.

Christmas Collage (December 2011)

There's Silver Bells and Christmas trees
We deck the halls and Santa sees.
Rudolph's nose will light the way
to a manger but not  an inn.

There's Jingle Bells and dashing sleighs
A shining star to light the way
for three wandering kings.

Lords and maids and five gold rings;
Snowmen and a holy night
All these lines from songs we sing
Make our spirits feel quite right.

Your days may be sunny and bright
and in some cases they may even be white.
It's the best time of the year
So have a Holly, Jolly Christmas
And a delicious cup of cheer!

Cookies, Candies, Kitchens too II

I need a Snickerdoodle intervention
Or maybe I should stay out of the kitchen
Eggs, Cinnamon and Butter
It couldn't hurt to have another.

To smell of peanut butter is a holiday tradition
Unwrapping kisses & melting chocolate my mouth itchin'
With anticipation for something creamy, chocolaty and sweet
Peanut Blossoms and Buckeyes are they ready to eat?

Luscious lemon joins the list
of sweets all made for Christmas bliss
All from scratch, it's quite delish'
I hope my waistline it will  miss.

Christmas cookies and candies
Holiday life is quite dandy
Although my scale might not agree
My taste buds are extremely happy.

The Christmas Poem ( December 2011)

I've never dreamed of a White Christmas.
I'm not fond of a Winter Wonderland.
If all my Christmases were white,
Both my troubles and myself would be out of sight.

I'd rather have ham than turkey.
Roasted chestnuts are not my cup of tea.
As for Jack Frost, he'd better not be nipping at me.

Christmas cards I love to write.
Stars will shine so very bright.
May your days be Merry and Bright
The thought fills me with delight.

Yuletide Carols are cool
And tiny tots on vacation from school
Listening late at night for sleigh bells
Hearing  all the old family tales.

Santa bringing goodies for
US good boys and girls
Friendship and happiness
felt across the world.

Say it once and then again
Many times and many ways
Merry Christmas is a time of Love
We should all praise.

Unbelievable Acts

Words fail in a moment like this

Our thoughts and prayers 

Do not even begin to do enough

My heart is broken into a thousand pieces

For this world has become an absolute mess.

These senseless massacres are becoming far too frequent.

Please help spread the word that something has to be done 

Is our freedom really protected by ownership of a gun?

Unbelievable acts of senseless violence

due to a lack of respect for human life.

My heart is broken into a thousand pieces

For this world has become an absolute mess.

These senseless massacres are becoming far too frequent.

Please help spread the word that something has to be done 

Is our freedom really protected by ownership of a gun?

I'm Not Feeling the Fun

The tree is up

the lights are lit

carols are being sung

Cookies are baked

and candies have been made

the stockings all are hung

Packages are wrapped

and cards are written

to each and everyone

So why is it that

this holiday

I'm not feeling the fun?

It's not just me

I've asked around

and have heard from

one and all

It's Chirstmas time

and even still

I don't feel like

decking the hall

Tis the season

It's a good enough reason

but it's not

quite played it's part

Hope the Grinches

magical powers

can open up our hearts

Twelve, Twelve, Twelve

Twelve hours of the day.
Twelve months in which to play.
Twelve hours of the night.
Twelve apostles yes, that's right.

Twelve signs in the zodiac.
Twelve days of Christmas too.
Twelve Prophets imagine that.
Twelve Tribes of Israel it's true.

Twelve Gods on Mount Olympus
Who were once in charge of us.
Twelve brings harmony to Yin and Yang,
To our lives can it do the same?

Twelve represents wealth and prosperity.
Twelve symbolizes love and charity.
Twelve offers Completeness and Fulfillment
Twelve apparently is quite significant.

We welcome you today
Twelve-Twelve-Twelve
Hopefully in your ways
we can all delve.

Falling Behind Again

Falling behind again.

Missing moments with friends.

Never enough hours in the day.

How does it always end up this way?

Working hard to catch up.

Not sure if I ever will.

Falling behind again.

Why won't time stand still?

Never enough hours in the day.

Hard to combine work and play.

Falling behind again.

When will this madness end?

Trying

Trying something new.

Hope it turns out well.

Trying something different.

Hope to keep it going.

Trying time and time again.

Hope to try some more.

Promises of Tomorrow

Promises of tomorrow

help get me through today.

a vast expanse of knowledge

soon will be underway.

Activities abound

Holidays surround

Friendships revisited

Emotions overwhelm

Promises of tomorrow

help get me through today.

Working my fingers to the bone

It's the American way.

Emotions overwhelm

Activities abound

Friendships revisited

Holidays surround

Creativity in many forms

gives me much to say.

Friendships revisited

Breathe and Laugh

Returning to class has
opened up creativity once more.

The collage allowed my mind
an avenue in which to explore.

Possibilities for tomorrow
I hadn't known before.

Inner peace cries out
to be attained.

Requiring me to try
to empty my brain.

Continue forward
on this path.

And along the journey
remember to breathe and laugh.

LA Rain

Water's falling from the sky
all around me people cry
What to do and how to drive
it's a fight to stay alive

Water's falling from the sky

Cars are crashing

traffic's stopped.

A bunch of crazies on the road

A little weather and they forget

Life's still goes on even though it's wet

Water's falling from the sky

I hear the sound and feel 

it's breathe

a chilly, lonely loveliness

I like this weather

though you'd never guess

Water's falling from the sky

all around me people cry

Forget all reason

but guess what it's the season

for actual weather in LA

Water's falling from the sky

It's going to be an

interesting day.

Triangle Square

Interesting individuals
at triangle square.
Laughing, talking
Playing games
Without care.

Hope and hospitality
We're glad you are there
Keeping company
gladly
at triangle square.


Interesting individuals
at triangle square.
Stories of life, love and realty.
Filled with expansive personality.

Tales from the past
a gift for the moment
relive the heartache
extinguish old torment
Virtual strangers
 become new found friends


Interesting individuals
at triangle square.
Old faces find new ways
to look at life's beginnings and ends
It starts with the formation
of new relations.

Road Trip

It's very early to start the day
It's very dark as well
It's a long road which I must take
I hope it travels well.

Far too often I have said
I'm not a morning person
Today the thought must
leave my head
as I  must get in fear soon
To take the highway from
here to there
and make my annual
pilgrimage.


It's very early to start the day
It's very dark as well
It's a long road which I must take
I hope it travels well.

Some people do this regularly
to them I tip my hat
As even though mine is annually
I know I'll need a nap

I am not a morning person
though it's lovely, though it's sweet
I'd much prefer the morning
as a time of needed sleep
A natural night owl
that is me
and of this I am proud
To keep the morning
company
my system does not allow.

Time

Time to return to reality.

Time to count down 

to the next holiday.

Time to remember 

those we've forgot.

Auld Lang Syne

gave us that thought.

 Time to work

and pretend we care.

Time to for online

shopping at work.

Time to stress out

over what to get.

 

Time to bake 

family recipes again 

and have the help

of long time friends.

Time for peace on Earth

goodwill towards all.

Time for us to

all recall.

Time to remember

what time it

truly is.

A Dark Day

Bellies filled

with food and laughter

even on the

morning after.

Too stuffed to eat 

a morning meal,

Eyes bigger than

my tummy;

That's how I feel.

Can't understand

the lines on the news.

People up all night

shopping? 

How could they choose

to stand in line for a

supposed deal

when warm and cozy

with family is what should 

be real.

A dark day is upon us

so be prepared

Overzealous shoppers

we should be scared

Pepper spray and crowd control

pushing, shoving sell your soul

It's all to get that

supposed deal

It's just madness.

That's how I feel.

I am safe inside 

with my full belly.

Leftovers calling my name

I'd rather wrestle with

more stuffing

as over crowding

bargain shopping's

just ever so lame.

Happy Thanksgiving

Friends

Family

Fortune

Fellowship

For all this I am thankful

Love

Laughter

Life

Luck

For all this I am thankful

I am here

I am whole

I am fortunate

in both heart and soul

For all this I am thankful

Closing Open Doors

Clearing out the cobwebs
Closing open doors.
Getting rid of rodents
hidden in the cracks.

Blocking out unwanted thoughts.
Holding nothing back.
Remnants of yesterday
are returned to the past.

Unwanted individuals
try to weasel in.
Silliness of asking
to see you again.

Keep strong and say no.
Let their injustice go.
Look forward to tomorrow.
Release the ancient pain and sorrow.


Clearing out the cobwebs.
Firmly closing open doors.
Getting rid of rodents,
They're not welcome anymore.

How Was Your Day?

Until you're asked the question
it's amazing how you never knew
that this simple question
can have such an effect on you.

Someone cared to ask it.
Someone wants to know.
Was your day quite tragic
or only just so so?

Did your day start madly
but then end up so sweet?
Did your day begin with smiles
but end in utter defeat?

Did you do what you wanted
or did something pass you by?
Did your memory become haunted
by things that make you cry?

Did you have time for lunch
or was it a snack at your desk?
Did your boss listen to your hunch
or was it just another test?


Until you're asked the question
it's amazing how you never knew
that "How was your day?" could
be the best question asked of you.

Someone is on the receiving end
to hang on every word.
Someone who cared enough to ask
and won't find your answer at all absurd.

Not Required

Since it wasn't required

I went to bed as early

as I desired

I rose this morning

without a fight

and did some

exercises

to make my

body feel right

I ate a good for me breakfast

I set a course for my day

A good mixture of chores

and a strong dose of play

It's amazing what you can do

when you don't have to

Anything you desire

just because it's not required

Rest and Relaxation

Rainy morning,

restless night;

Unwanted information

from the past.

Hopefully these

rocky emotions

will not last.

Work's soon over,

Last day goes slow.

Anticipation

will greatly grow.

Watching the clock

as time marches on

Soon all this stress

will be gone.

Looking forward

to time off.

Rest and relaxation

at no cost.

Time spent

with a new

romance

Here's my chance.

It's too

It's too early so
I'm rushed
It's too late so
I'm not enough

It's the right time
with the wrong lines
It's the wrong time
with the right mind

It's going to be
better
It's going to be
soon
It's going to be
special
It's going to be
soon

But,


It's too early so
I'm rushed


It's the wrong time
with the right mind


It's too late so
I'm not enough

It's the right time
with the wrong lines

Honking Geese

Honking geese on every street

Angry, squabbling, insensitive

Out of nowhere comes the sound

intended to make you turn around

intended to make you get out of the way

intended to make you move faster,

get over, get going, just get.

Honking geese on every street

Angry, squabbling, insensitive

It's not our fault that

you're running late

It's not our fault

you need to turn

It's not our fault

the lights turning red

Your sense of importance

is all in your head.

Honking geese on every street

Angry, squabbling, insensitive

Where are we supposed to go

through the pedestrian

like an agile equestrian?

Over the car in front,

or maybe through it's trunk?

Honking geese on every street

Angry, squabbling, insensitive

You're running late

which isn't great

but your circumstance 

is not my fate

Turn off your anger

tone down your hate

for on our nerves

You truly grate.

Honking geese on every street

Angry, squabbling, insensitive

Strangers in a Crowd

Strangers in a crowd
Some are civilized
Some are loud
All together for one cause
Hear their laughter and applause

Strangers in a crowd
close companions
for a while
see them all begin
to smile
When the stage
awakens.


Strangers in a crowd
Some are civilized
Some are loud
All together for one cause
Hear their laughter and applause


Strangers in a crowd
New conversations
happen now
Experience reality
where you realize
You're in
familiar company.


Strangers in a crowd
Some are civilized
Some are loud
All together for one cause
Hear their laughter and applause

Heaved a Sigh

Last night 

the tension 

was quite high

but in the end

I heaved a sigh

not one of grief

but one of relief

as I once again

this country 

showed

it's capacity

for intelligent

choice

can grow.

Usually the 

lesser of

two evils

One of

the choices

this year

was quite

medieval

Fortunately

females

across 

the land

can still

proudly

take a stand.

I heave a sigh

but not of grief

A great big

sigh of relief

Once again

this country 

has shown

idespite the

factions

of idiots, 

It's

capacity

for intelligent

choices

Has cried

out 

through

many voices

Vote

If you don't vote
then don't complain
It's a slogan
to explain
that although to some
it my be a pain
Voting is the choice
that's sane.

It's a privilege
and a right
So go out and
vote tonight.
Make a choice
and make
a difference.
Do not think
you've no
significance.


If you don't vote
then don't complain.
It's a slogan
to explain
that although to some
it my be a pain
Voting is the choice
that's sane.

Out of Practice

I didn't do a tribute
to my favorite Holiday.
Dia de los Muertos
also faded away.

I skipped so many post
day after day,
I am certain my
creativity has
found somewhere else
to stay.

Here's hoping that
my fingers
find the keyboard
everyday.

Here's hoping that
ideas to my
brain will find their way.


Here's hoping my
creativity
will once again
come out to play.


Here's hoping my
creativity
has come back home
to stay.

Life Happens

Things do not always stick to the plan
life happens
best laid plans of mice and man
life happens

All you can do is let it go
take this opportunity
as a chance to grow


Things do not always stick to the plan
life happens
best laid plans of mice and man
life happens

Disappointment's part of life
may not be fun
may not be nice
just let it go
is my advice


Things do not always stick to the plan
life happens
best laid plans of mice and man
life happens

Growing Census

The consensus is growing
it's reaching it's peek.
A creative collection
for answers you seek.

It goes far beyond
the ordinary
Keeps you on track
for the extraordinary.


The consensus is growing
it's reaching it's peek.
A creative collection
for answers you seek.

Group's on the whole
will know where to go

Practical, perfect
the capacity will grow.

Inspired by madness
filled with belief
a creative collection
for answers you seek.

The census is growing
it's reaching it's peek
Soon to deliver
an end to all fraud
the answer's to make
on and all applaud.

No Motivation

Smiling faces aren't enough

when you r day is really rough

lack of incentive

lack of faith

lack of manners

lack of grace

No motivation to get me through

No motivation

What can I do?

Not used to individuals

with low goals

Tried to inspire

but it's a no go

agreed to do it

agreed to stay

wish there was more

than just the pay

No motivation to get me through

No motivation

What can I do?

End of the Week

I made it through another week
I'm still standing
guess I kept my feet
So much to do
so little time
scarcely a moment
to create a rhyme

looking forward to tomorrow
all happiness and no sorrow
sleep in til noon
then sleep so more
Eat and relax
and relax and eat
Until it's time
to go back to sleep

Yes, I've made it through
another week
As I'm still standing
Guess I kept my feet
breathing in the moment
of tranquility
Before another dose
of reality

Don't Ring Again

I open my eyes

close them again

hit the alarm

and hope

that it doesn't 

ring again

It's dark now

The time of year

where snuggling

close within the covers

is all I want to do

Too soon to be up

Too dark to see

Too early it seems

Too early for me

Life is busy

Sleep is beautiful

Work is worrisome

But it brings in the bucks

Gotta get up

like it or not

Gotta get up

can't be late

Gotta get up

like it or not

Gotta get up

can't be late

I open my eyes

close them again

hit the alarm

and hope

that it doesn't 

ring again

Too dark to move

stay within the covers

is all I want to do

On The Way

It's on it's way

It's coming soon.

A night to play

beneath the moon

Colorful costumes

Tricks and Treats

A night of imagination

That's ever so sweet.

Pretty or scary

It's all up to you

Halloween madness

It's what's to do!

Alright Already

Alright

Alright

Alright already

Geesh.

I really cannot 

stand to hear

you speak.

Cacophony of sound

In my head you abound

Five minute intervals

Here comes the next round

Alright

Alright

Alright already

Geesh.

If it means that much

Then yes I'll get up

As long as 

you don't make

another sound

Snooze for a bit

Even better

just quit

And

I will move

 at my own speed

Alright

Alright

Alright already

Geesh.

I'm getting up

as you insist

The long day ahead

I sometimes dread

But your incessant

singing

Constantly ringing

most definitely

moves me from bed.

Making It Up

Making it up as I go along
Sometimes it's right
Sometimes it's wrong

Doing my best to make it through
My best is all that I can do

Taking chances
Chasing dreams
Making strides today
for what tomorrow brings


Making it up as I go along
Sometimes it's right
Sometimes it's wrong

Doing my best to make it through
My best is all that I can do


Working hard
Playing longer
Making sure
I stay stronger

Sweet like chocolate
Tart as a lemon
Flavors of life
This is living


Making it up as I go along
Sometimes it's right
Sometimes it's wrong

Doing my best to make it through
My best is all that I can do

Time To Get Up

It can't possibly be time to be up again
Didn't I just go to bed?
I know that I just closed my eyes
and cleared the thoughts from my head.

It can't possibly be time to be up again
yet the alarm is ringing in my ear.
Far from a choir of angels more like
a jack hammer's what I hear.

It can't possibly be time to be up again
but all signs say, "Get up You!".
I resist the urge but ultimately
I know what I have to do.

Tired

Tired of the same old thing

Tired of doing it all again

Tired of wondering if It's right

Tired of wondering if it's wrong

Tired of  trying to do it all

Tired of  trying not to fall

Tired of being tired too

Tired is something that just won't do

Tired of doing it all again

Tired of the same old thing

Coming Back

They keep coming back.
I don't ask
and yet here they are.
Where were they
when I was there?
As I recall
they chose not to care.

Walks down memory lane
relive the happiness
not the pain.
But don't fall for
the pretty path,
The road not taken
is the one that lasts.

They keep coming back.
did I leave a beacon on?
Once you're gone
that's where you belong.
A door was closed
but a window's been opened.
The road not taken
Is the one I have chosen.

Come...

Come on feel the noise
Come a little bit closer
Come dancing
Come sail away with me

Come back
Come back and stay
Come closer
Come fly away with me

Come in from the rain
Come into my world
Come home
Come go with me

Comr Monday
Come on over
Come out and play
Come see about me

Come
Come undone
Come together
Come with me

We Believe

We experience every day
but not every moment
We believe we are doing
what must be done.

If you have at least one
item crossed off of your list
does that count as an accomplishment?


We experience every day
but not every moment
We believe we are doing
what must be done.

Nose to the grindstone
blinders in place
try to keep pace
in the daily race.

Take note not to lose
sight of why you are here.
Figure out your purpose
try to make it clear.


We experience every day
but not every moment
We believe we are doing
what must be done.

Are we all made here?
It's a distinct possibility.
We so often create
limited realities.

Take stock of what you think you know.
Take hold of where you  want to go
Do what you have to
Be who you need to be
Believe you are doing but do what you believe
