Being the center of the party meant Jess set the heartbeat as she sipped her champaigne
Until hers skipped a beat as Chad entered the room
Breaking down the man with her million dollar smile
Backing him into a far wall
Licking her lips
Enticing him with her eyes
Screaming his name when the ball hit midnight

Don’t let the world label you, become your own definition
Empower your own voice and speak up for your causes
Fortify your spirit of resolve and push on through
You might not know who you are yet, but you are still the expert on you
Best not to leave a crumb of life behind
Else you might miss the best part
Going forward with your escape
Is invigorating and scary
Now embark on your new adventure

Sometimes you just have to concentrate on the details
Making them the blueprint of your life
Ask not what your life can do for you, but what you can do to have a life
Little things do matter, since they make up all the big things
Living tiny, in the moment, live fully

Till the fat lady sings they say
Hero could hear her warming up now
Even as he pulled his sword out of its sheath
Everything had gone to hell so quickly
Now Hero screamed as he charged into battle
Death would pay a price to have his soul today

Never completely missing
Obscuring the surroundings
It creeps up on consciousness
Scarring attention spans
Ever fearful of the silence

Something about you is miraculous
Perhaps it is how you smile, or the way you pick at your food
I don’t really know how, but all I do know
Regardless of what the world says you are important
I believe we all are a Christmas miracle
The babe born anew in us today

Slipping past security
Approaching the tree carefully
Never thought a fat guy could be so stealthy
Taking the cookies and beverages
And leaving cheer behind

Lifting the handle, Stephanie looked inside the box
It contained a whole lot of nothing
Giggling she closed it and looked at Timothy
“How are you able to afford that?” She asked
Timothy smiled, “I just saved up all the sun rays I could from the summer.”
“Of course you did,” she said. “I love it! It’s just what I need.”
Forgetting he didn’t like physical contact, Stephanie gave him a huge hug
To her amazement
He didn’t push her away
Even pulled her closer
Well the moment was short lived
Or that’s how it felt to Stephanie
Releasing Timothy back into his own world she sighed inwardly
Loving someone like Timothy was easier than people thought
Didn’t this echo how God felt?
As my children make me lose my mind
Relegating me to an asinine screaming lunatic
God help me, when do they go to bed?!?
