Power over adversity 

Strength to ask: could it be?

They said I couldn’t, I said I couldn’t 

I said I can, so I ran 

Ran as far as my heart would take me 

And in the end, if it was all for naught, then at least I’d be true to untangle the knot 

It was the unexcelled victory in battle, the unexcelled freedom from bondage 

Courage to make the hard choice, courage to speak the brave voice 

Heart like a burning star

Relentless, I fight no holds barred 

Free Verse

Happiness is only real when shared

Trading outer wealth for inner wealth, candy for gold

It's the happiness that doesn't leave you when all else grows old

Wherever you go, you'll go together

It’s the queen of the arts

Generosity: a perfection of character

Free Verse

It was a cool desert night with the west wind blowing 

We sat side by side,

warm

          breath 

                    flowing

Thoughtful tune

Golden moon

Silent chimes, that simply stopped time 

Still

Quiet

Free 

There’s no place I’d rather be

Free Verse

My grandmother died last spring 

She was scared and confused

Wherever she may be

If the merit of my generosity can be known, let it be known 

If it can be heard, let it be heard

If it can be used, let it be used

Used to find a happiness that’s true and free
