Listen to your mother's voice
She may be gone but, she still guides you
Just give it some thought
Remember to continue on through
The lessons that she taught you
Will forever stay in your mind
Enrich your life
Be gentle and kind

Live and learn
Enrich and grow
Edify yourself
And go with the flow
Brighten your horizons
Fill your heart with happiness
Build your inner strength
Continue to be blessed

Just live your life
You can make an impact
Take things one step at a time
And that is a fact
Obscurity may show its face
Along with travails and pitfalls
Go through that hazardous fire
And stand up tall

Live for today
Treasure as much as you can
Moments are quite fleeting
For the time is at hand
Learn as much as possible
For your world will be an open book
Take advantage of every opportunity
Do not leave yourself hanging on a hook

Live in the moment
Because things will eventually fade
The sun disappears
And there is nothing but rain
No one knows what will happen
Things change in the blink of eye
Minutes become hours
As day become nigh'

Live in the present
It is the now that matters
Have a unique vision
So that your dreams will not be shattered
Build your own foundation
Move forward in a positive light
Always strive for excellence
And make your spirits bright

Live your life
Things can change at the blink of an eye
Be more appreciative
We are all just passing by
Tender moments
Become memories that are made
Focus on the good
Walk forward and be sage

Live your life
For it is the gift that has been given
Times will indeed be rough
Stay on course and remain driven
Walk through those dark clouds
Eventually you will see the light
Remove yourself from those shadows
And make your world bright

Live your life
And explore
Travel, see the world
And do so much more
Create your own destiny
And build your legacy
Take everything in stride
Enjoy the magical ride

Live your life to the fullest
Enjoy yourself immensely
As time passes on
Moments become only a memory
Pick yourself upward
Move to the shining light
Reach towards the zenith
And make your world bright

Look at how far you have become
Continue to get better
Keep making progress
And make your visions sharper
Make the best of every opportunity
Go forward and conquer
It is all within your grasp
Be the one to prosper

Look at the way at how you treat your lady
She seems bitter and confused
Darkness sadly surrounds her
As a result of your abuse
She put her trust in you
And you have let her down
All of her pleasantries
Have turned into a frown

Look in the mirror
What do you see?
See a vision of greatness
Put your heart into things and be blessed
Situations may sometimes be cloudy
But, always find yourself
Accentuate the positive
Remember, you have one life to live

Look towards the positive
Always remain humble
See the good in everything
Show your gratitude and be thankful
Life is the gift that has been given
That my friends is clear
Live it graciously

Look within
And believe in yourself
You can do it
Remove self-doubt and do not quit
Be determined to do your very best
Give it your all
Keep on making progress
You will eventually find your happiness

Lots of passion on display
With each and every kiss
Nothing but joy in the air
Such a heavenly bliss
Girl, every moment that we share
There is a lot for us to treasure
We have a loving bond
That will last forever

Lots of people are drowning in sorrow
As the result of yet, another tragic event
A college campus filled with chaos and confusion
Along with lots of frustration
Several lives have been sadly lost
Nothing but grief and bitterness
Matters appear to be even more complex
Filled with lots of stress

Magical moments that capture the heart
Captivating and breathtaking
Of a whimsical nature
Her beauty and personality are galvanizing
She possesses a strong wit
Fierce and courageous each day
Along with a will to succeed
And be excellent in every way

Maya Angelou
Was a lady with a vision
She reached out to many people
And carried out her mission
She was an inspiration
To one and all
She taught everyone
How to stand up tall
She was involved in a never ending battle
She fought for justice, education, and equality
Her legacy was widespread
For all to see
She also wrote beautiful poetry
She lifted her voice very nicely
Her words were written with zeal and vigor
They carried such harmony
She was very witty
She was pleasantly headstrong
Sadly, at the age of eighty-six
She has passed on


Her legacy was widespread

Mom and dad
Are always there
To guide and protect you
And give you tender-loving care
You are their precious jewel
They think of you in every way
They want nothing but the best for you
Each and every single day

Moments are constantly fleeting
Nothing ever stays the same
One day the sun may shine
And the next, there is pouring rain
It is important to find yourself
Also, to the fact that you can adapt to change
The scenery moves in the blink of an eye
One must be ready to turn the page

Moments are fleeting
Change will come eventually
Time never sits still
Choices must be made accordingly
As we deal with life
We must try to make the best of the situation
No one knows what tomorrow will bring
Live it up and be an inspiration

Moments are fleeting
Nothing ever stays the same
The scenery will soon change
There is always knowledge for you to gain
Hang in there
And get that degree
Feed your brain endlessly
Fulfill your world respectfully

Moments are melancholy
Because, lives have been lost
People are in a state of bewilderment
Dithered, confused, and distraught
Nothing but a chaotic scene
Filled with lots of bitterness
With tragic events in London and Colombia
Many people are sullen and filled with emptiness

Moments are transient
Nothing stays the same
One blink of your eyes
And you will see a change
As you sail on the sea
There may be a modification of course
New sceneries will appear
Along with a reflective force

Moments are transient and fleeting
Nothing will stay the same
Things change at the blink of an eye
Just keep your head in the game
Continue to enshrine your world
And fill it with blessings
As each day passes
We learn new lessons

Moments become memories
After time passes on
We live and learn accordingly
Hopefully, we become heartstrong
Learn to grow and go with the flow
And shine our inner light
We enlighten and empower respectfully
As morning becomes night

Moments will come to pass
Enjoy it while you can
It will soon be just a memory
Remember to take a stand
Be bold and brave
Create your legacy
Inspire others to do their best
Show compassion and integrity

Mother, I thank you
For your tender-loving care
You showed me courage and love
And taught me to be aware
Your surroundings alone
Comforted me each day
You were there always to lift me up
And brighten my world in every way

Mothers are always gentle and caring
They are on the lookout for their child
Always overly concerned with everything they do
Bringing their children up with decorum is worthwhile
Never taking anything for granted
Guiding their child to be their very best everyday
Always offering good love and moral support
Mothers endlessly give sunshine loving in every way

Mother's are always there
To guide and protect you
They want nothing but the best
To see you strive and shine through
Mother's show that they care
Thoughts of you will always be in her heart
As you go through your life
Just know that mom was there from the start
