Poetry by Pam

God knows you aren't interested in the end when you've demonstrated that you didn't care about the beginning.

I saw her beauty in a different way it was not the hair or the polished tip her her manicured nail Not an obvious beauty escalated by the superficial shake of her tail It was captivating like watching the horizon and perplexing like seeing the grand canyon A thief in the night tipping just right Advertising beauty that she didn't have to sell

I choose to fail even though it's something I hate not in the least daunted by the temptations of fate although winning is more pleasant in the end I choose to fail so that I can be a better friend

My dreams carried me to the opened door released a parachute of emotions as if it exists to explore for whom the bell tolls and places where boundaries exist no more And I chose to believe in them instead of all the lies being told paying homage to invictus becoming captain of my soul

Caught up in atmosphere lands on a star looks down and beholds those yet so far Reaches out to hold hands in my grasp so needy; so wanton too ashamed to ask Hopeless souls die young martyred by life's circumstance brought together by fate sparked by this happenstance knowing what I do jumped down from above this is my ministry walking in Christian love together in our eternity seeing eye to eye giving up being comfortable till we meet in the sky

In my youth I paid handsomely for experience I generously gave away my innocence I participated in mundane existence However the night fell and I grew Sleep gave way to mornings I knew Fond realities turned memories as I withdrew I learned to cherish my youthful days and to protect my innocence always adding flavor to existence in marvelous displays Then when night falls and I grow I will welcome rest for now I know realities can be met with purpose also So remember and hold dear all wisdom told then make the best and appreciate as life unfolds and your youth will be a blessing as you grow old

There is a reason why fast food is easy to get It is fast, easy, and cheap Now imagine if all women were like that the price was never too steep We'd all be dropping like flies from the fate of malnourishment and wondering why the results show effortless rapid descent The same person that compromises the "Us" we know and love is the same person not recognizing potential Self awareness doesn't come easy and is not cheap but the price is never too high Many will sacrifice a healthy life to taste foods high in sodium and many women will sacrifice a virtuous life and never know what they could become
