End disappointments.
Remove all expectations.
Embrace acceptance.

Better Way
Self analyze
Taking alone time,
connects the dots with answers.
Erasing self doubts.

Unique
Irreplaceable
personal identity,
each distinctly built.

Challenge
Ready for a fight,
staring eye to eye.
Keeping you at sight,
pesky little fly.
Swatting at the air,
swiping here and there,
you escape my stare
then hide in my hair.
I hit my own head
hoping this will end,
your body lays dead
while playing pretend.
Ego at my face,
enticing a chase,
I remain in place
feeling my own grace.
I start to ignore
your attempt at war,
decide not to score
then center my core.
My heart fills with light
it reaches new heights,
I sigh and feel bright
you take off, full flight.

Secured
Exhale self-doubt.
Inhale self-assurance.
Balance inner thoughts.
– Grace Y. Estevez- Reddy
Assist
Like minds made
to separate.
They are placed
to generate.
Distinct views,
are all alone,
all will heal
with knowledge shown.
Everyone
can soon advance,
giving gifts
of second chance.
Help someone
to start all new,
guiding them
by being true.
Light with light
brightens the path,
but does not
truly enhance.
In the dark
all light shines bright,
twinkling stars
dancing at night.
Opposites
often attract.
Providing,
lasting impacts.
Divine love
will always spread,
mended hearts
sparkle ahead.
– Grace Y. Estevez- Reddy
Maintain
Running on empty.
Self-preservation is key.
Stop to drink and rest.

Timeless
Yesterday I was born,
and the day before that,
been around for decades,
living from where I sat.
Resolving past trauma,
letting go of old pain,
seeing wounds as lessons
has allowed me to gain.
Once again born today,
but have lived for some time.
My first breath at sunrise,
letting go every night.
I enjoy being true,
making vows I can keep,
knowing life boomerangs,
I can still soundly sleep.
Born again tomorrow,
will create brighter steps,
so each day that follows
will be mine to project.
Keeping positive thoughts,
will help balance my mind,
Manifesting a future,
that is one of a kind.

Changes
It starts from inside,
I am often told,
try hard to control
the space that you hold.
Dig deep from inside,
to release all cares,
becoming aware
of everything there.
Change happens inside,
perceptions transform,
cradle all ice storms,
turn cold into warm.
Balance from inside,
removing extremes,
extracting old scenes,
then sewing the seams.
Feel free from inside,
let all the bad go,
your pure smile will glow
all joys will then grow.
Find strength deep inside,
grab hold of pure light,
all day and all night
it always shines bright.

Grandma’s Kitchen
So very far away,
stood a rustic old cafe,
essence made up of fine silk,
felt like warm cookies and milk.
Tables all covered in lace
filling up this fun-filled place,
people gathered up in crowds,
telling jokes and laughing loud.
Magic dust swept through the air,
lifting all unwanted cares,
every lost was at last found,
happiness flew all around.
Good times never seemed to cease,
spreading a love-filled disease.
while confessions snuggled safe
sheltered in this worn cafe.
Many spent wonderful years
leaving no sins left to clear,
carried this favorite spot
as a dot within their heart.
Happy thoughts forever near,
safety shield from any fear.
Memories that act as guides,
lock them up way deep inside.
