A Poem for Renewal by Nova Reed

In this moment, be fully present.

Be quiet. Be still and yet open.

Let all the worries melt away.

Center yourself in Peace.

Close your eyes and surround yourself with Hope.

Picture the colors. Imagine the sounds. Let yourself Dream.

Take yourself beyond limits, to endless horizons.

Open your heart, free your soul.

Listen.

You will hear answers.

You will find strength.

You will be renewed.

You will be inspired.

You will feel connected to life.

Be you.

Be quiet for just this moment.

Take in the energy that drops into your loving-open heart.

Now go and LIVE.

***

As long as life is full and free
Let me live and still by me
But when my days on Earth are done
An Eternal Rest I’ve surely won
Rob me not of the right to die
Let my soul to heaven fly.

When mind and heart and body fail
And doctors work to no avail
Cease the needles painful prick
No more tubes into me stick
Another day, another week
Prolonged life I would not seek.

Remember that I loved you so
Say goodbye and let me go
Pray for strength and then depart
Keep my love within your heart.

Dedicated to my Angel on Earth, Aunt Gini, with love.

In the grips of despair, there is always Hope.
During trying times with a significant person in your life, there is always Hope.
While feeling low and insignificant, there is always Hope.
When sleepless nights torment you with tomorrow’s stresses, there is always Hope.
As your problems surround and paralyze you, there is always Hope.
Hope finds you when loneliness seeps in.
Hope reaches to you when sadness overcomes you.
Hope surrounds you and repels Fear.
Hope blasts away guilt and shame…
Leaving you…
You.
The true you.
Connected with God.
Connected with others.
Able to receive as well as give.
Hope.
The symbol of the spirit.
Give and you will find Hope.
Pray and you will find Hope.
Surround yourself with others who believe and support you, and you will find Hope.

Seek Hope.

Being a mother pulls at every essence of your being.

You feel love you never knew you could feel.

You know your way, yet never walked that way before.

You are guided by your love, your devotion, and spirit.

Mothers understand like no else.

A mother comforts hurts with just a look of warmth.

Being a mother heals and mends disappointments of the past,

Filling the tears of life with drops of love with every hug.

You find wisdom, strength, and a purpose for life.

A knowing of what truly is your calling;

To nurture a spirit, to feed a soul,

To enhance security and watch over their health.

Being a mother is the greatest responsibility, and yet the greatest joy.

The bond you have with your child connects you deeper with God.

You can sense your child’s presence like a tingle of an angel blowing down your back.

You know when happiness or sadness falls on them, or when they are in need.

You would gladly sacrifice anything for their contentment and inner peace.

You quest for their fulfillment above and beyond your own.

With just one look upon your child, your heart can overflow,

And remind you of the meaning of life.

Being a mother is God’s greatest gift, a priceless treasure, an all encompassing love.
