WORDS, WORDS, WORDS (c) By Polly Guerin



Spoken words are metamorphosistic

One minute they come crashing down


Another time words send you reeling
Or toss you around like a merry-go-round


Uncharted spoken words can be catastrophic
Without merit your limited view can be myopic


But life-giving words break down low self-esteem
Letting us accomplish beyond our choicest dreams


Just one loving compliment can change a life course
Pile on the compliments, “You’ve got the resource,”


Be the leader of your personal cheering squad
Shout out praises to everyone bold, out loud


Your positive words can set a person free
Just tell someone, “I’m proud of you,” and see


The door opening up wider to their destiny Your kind hearted gestures are full of glee


Restoring confidence where lackluster sits

Say ‘You’re great in what you do” it fits


Encouragement lets people choose to excel
Reach out; let someone know that you can tell


They’re someone special and ring a bell
Ringing out praises, announce they’re well


Kind words spread health and healing
Put your heart into every loving meaning


Keep the positive punch in every phrase
Do it often, feel the buoyant joy rephrase


Choose wisely the words that you convey
Bringing hope to all in need we pray.

BABY STEPS (c) by Polly Guerin


















Now is the time to get started
Don’t delay and be downhearted…


Take Baby Steps forward to learn
Naysayers not be your concern…

Every disappointment is a gift
New doors open don’t resist…

Rise up and claim your place
Be a Winner in the race…

Dream on and make it YOU
Put ‘FIRE’ in what you do…

Don’t let anyone talk you down
Turn their attitude around…

It’s not too late for you
Success makes it all come true.
