Personal Strengths










I feel as though everyone wonders what they have to offer the world. What will my mission be? to love my life and be successful. I want to learn more to love and accept the life I live. To utilize every moment that I have because it is irretrievable. Life has so many obstacles and risk within in and your life can really go in any direction. As anxious as I am to know where I will be ten, fifteen or thirty years from now only time will tell.

A legacy is what you leave behind; what other people can remember you by. Something that others will know you created or are strongly affiliated with. I am not sure what I want to be remembered as; I just want to be successful and provide for myself and my family. I don't really want to leave a legacy on the world as much as I want to leave a legacy for my loved ones. I want recognition as the person who persevered through it all and came out on top. I want to be known as the one who worked hard to get where I am who traveled the world and took care of her family.

As a writer it is somewhat significant to leave a legacy, I can admit leaving a legacy as a young and prominent writer would be amazing. It would be something I have been dreaming about ever since I was a child; growing up it has been a goal just to publish a book. Taking my success to that level is definitely something I want to be remembered for. So there than making a difference in my family's lives I want to be known as a successful writer. I want to encourage writers all over the world that with dedication and hard work your dreams can easily become a reality.


AFTERLIFE

 
I release my soul upon this hallowed ground
I find my mind racing to the memory I have found
I see her as she waves to me from afar
I wave an unsteady hand at a distant star

Love surrounds me as I travel from dream to dream
I shed no more tears as I wander, or so it would seem
Youth far away and gone I now see my grandpas face
A dream with a smile cast upon my soul, a mere trace

Try as I might I cannot explain the warm tears
There is truth in my eyes chasing away my fears
How sweet and happy those things of which I dream
Her sweet hugs cover my heart like strawberry cream

I find my shadow has long since departed my soul
Her whispers angel songs before I once more go
Wandering back to earth I find a locket of gold,I arise again
Wanting to get to heaven, now my only worldly sin
