NEVER ENDING LOVE (c) By Polly Guerin

Love that never ends

Safeguards family and friends

It transcends sad heartache

When the mind might break

True love is heavenly, spiritual

Channels positivity and miracles

Strengthens patience and reserve

Gives out the love that you deserve

Slow down recharge and rest

Love and be loved is the best

Reach out give praise, support

As children we were once taught

To unite in heart with everyone

Every day before you are done

With words loving and effective

Bring harmony and be selective

Create happiness, and cherish

Treasured memories do not perish

But keep us focused on the gift

A day of loving thoughts can give.

TRY ON ABUNDANCE (c) By Polly Guerin

Too often people focus on what is lacking

They spend their time dull and slacking

In the safe harbor or discontent

They feel comfortable and resent

Others who have reached their goal

And feel diminished, but they were told

There’s great abundance in the fold

Treasures far greater than gold

How much worth you have depends

On evaluating daily value to the end

How much do you think you deserve

Unleash restraint and your reserve

Step up to success as your born right

Succeed with verge with all your might

Do something different each day

Banish those naysayers away

Challenge yourself to try on abundance

Let this rich heritage be your mantra!!

IMPATIENCE (c) By Polly Guerin

How did these levels of impatience grow?

Believe me, it is hard to remember, to know

I’m not making excuses, but there’s reason

We’ve outgrown patience, each season

Electronics prompt us with immediate action

Could this be the culprit of our reaction?

Instant photos promote immediate sharing

Sometimes without the personal touch ‘caring’

Click on ‘send’ emails expect quick response

Before we’ve had time to digest words to launch

No time to savor the moment, life’s treasures

Instant gratification escalated beyond measure

Navigating with speed through web pages

Frustration, even anger prompt the ages

To feel stress and bewildered by loss

Electronic immediacy has become boss

Now is the time to step back and demand

To turn off stress and let us understand

That the more patient we become, dear friends

Better health, better decisions result in the end.

INTO THE SILENCE (c) By Polly Guerin

Mickey Raina, Fine Art America #25       

Take time to refresh, replenish

Seek the void to relinquish

All the stress a day imparts

Dust it off and now restart

Regain composure, be content

Luxuriate in private time spent

Recharging your commonsense

A wonderful way to reinvent

Your dreams, reality and goals

Find yourself as the day enfolds

Still, the silence is so serene

Here find refuge from the scene

Protected in some secret place

Settle down out of the race

And find solace in quietude

Escape from society, if rude

Encounters sadden our heart

Even before the day has start

Dwell on reasons to be content

With private time pleasantly spent.

EXPECTATIONS 2013 (c) By Polly Guerin

Expectation by John William Godward

Let the New Year bring great expectations!!!

Expect things to change for the better

Ban bitterness from your letter

You are better off than before

Don’t doubt, even the score                  

Keep the window of opportunities open

Even before the good is spoken

Expect things to change around

Stand fast on solid ground

Don’t talk yourself out of the good

Your expectations are understood

Be grateful for lessons of the past

Disappointments never last

Abundance is yours in every way

Expectations fulfilled along the way

Look forward with joyful anticipation

It’s your life to fulfill with creation

Get excited about transformation

A life renewed with elation

Vision good coming your way

Spontaneous results without delay

Pursue the desires of your heart

Begin now, as the New Year starts.

VOICES UNITE IN PEACE (c) By Polly Guerin

When voices and instruments come together

The world unites; everything seems better

Each singer plays an important role

While instruments complete the call

A soprano or tenor may sing a solo

They contribute to the whole

The orchestra’s sound is bold

But harmony reigns in its soul

The song of peace in voices raised

To curtail war with fervent praise

I share my song of peace with others

Everyone join in sisters, brothers

Harmony uplifts the world

War is seemingly curtailed

The song of the world unites

Ends conflict and domestic strife

The song would be incomplete

Encouraging singers we seek

To engage the world’s voices

Peace and joy are our choices

So as I sing my song and plead

Please; Let harmony intercede.

INNER BEAUTY (c) By Polly Guerin

Inner beauty far outlasts

Its silent message does not blast

But radiates with good intentions

Affirms with wisdom, and did I mention

The more we focus on inner beauty

Genuine peace and balance is our duty

With comforting words of praise confirming

Elevate those in need without sermoning

Calm, cultivate, considerate learning

Giving comfort where hearts are burning

Lift up those from sadness or recent loss

Gently stroke their story without force

And stir up feelings of renewed pride

Never let ambition or happiness slide

Encourage strength and inner glow

With life-confirming words I go

About the day with heart on fire

An inspiring truth is what I desire

Responding eagerly to positive sound

The world is made better all around

Stylish clothes may outwardly renew

But inner beauty is forever true.
