Determination Is Key!

05/30/2025poetryBlogging, Determination, Dreams, Faith, Feelings, Goals, JustWrite, Love, MyThoughts, poetry, Ray'Elaine, WritingRay'Elaine

Determination a steadfast force

A guiding light on any course

In the face of trials, it stands

Strength and courage are in our hands

Through the darkest night it shines

A beacon of hope, it aligns

When doubt tries to take its toll

Determination fuels the soul.

With every step it whispers, “go,”

And in our hearts we feel it grow

In moments of fear, it stays strong

A quiet resolve where we belong

Determination is a loyal guide

With its power, we stride wide

-Determination-

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

What's the first impression you want to give people?

A calm and happy first impression
Is what I strive to give
A warm and welcoming expression
Is how I love to live
I offer a gentle smile
And a soothing voice to match
With me, you’ll feel at ease awhile
And your worries will detach
My presence brings a peaceful air
And my words are soft and kind
I’m here to show you that I care
And to ease your troubled mind
So come and sit with me for a while
And let my calmness be your guide
Together, we’ll find a happy smile
And a sense of peace inside

Blessings and Love!

Orange Rose!

05/26/2025poetryBlogging, Desire, Fascination, happy, JustWrite, life, Meaning, Orange Rose, Passion, Poem, poetry, Ray'ElaineRay'Elaine

An orange rose, a symbol of desire

Its fiery hue ignites a passionate fire

A bloom so bold, it speaks of enthusiasm

And a longing for a love without inhibition.

This rose speaks of warmth and energy

Of excitement and fervency

It tells a tale of a love that’s bold

And a heart that’s free, yet still holds.

So when you see an orange rose in bloom

Think of passion, desire, and a love that consumes

For this rose is not just a simple flower

But a symbol of a love that has the power.

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

Me, Overthinker/Over analyzer

Me, Overthinker/Over analyzer

Why am I such an overthinker? I tend to second-guess myself all the time, and I take a long time to make a decision. I think about everything. My mind is constantly going and thinking of stuff, whether it is good or bad. I also worry a lot, and putting that with me being an overthinker, and boom, it’s chaotic and very overwhelming. I try to sit back and relax but I can admit that sometimes I am uptight and too much going on and to worry about. I have heard some people say that being an overthinker is a bad thing.

Wow, I really need to relax and take it a day at a time. Anyway, I am overthinking right now. That is just me, the overthinker and overanalyzer. SMH.

What do you think? Are you like this? I overthink every situation I encounter, and sometimes, I feel bad about the decisions that I make. This is a trait of mine that I do not like; it can be annoying at times.

Blessings and Love!

Courage!!

05/11/2025poetryBlogging, Courage, Faith, Feelings, JustWrite, life, MyThoughts, poetry, Ray'Elaine, WritingRay'Elaine

In my heart

Shadows are deep, where fears reside

A heart stands firm, no place to hide

With courage bright, it lights the way

Through darkest nights to the dawn of day

The storms may rage, the winds may howl

Yet brave hearts face, without a scowl

For strength within, they do embrace

And stride with grace through every space

Let us rise, with spirits high

And face the world with a steady eye

For courage lives in you and me

Unlocking dreams and setting free!

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

A Mother’s Love!

05/11/2025poetryA Mother's Love, Blogging, Children, Faith, family, Fun, Good Vibes, happy, I Love Poetry, Mother, MyThoughts, poetry, Ray'Elaine, StrengthRay'Elaine

A mother’s love is like a shining star

Guiding her children through life’s bumpy road

She offers warmth, comfort, and a healing scar

And carries them through any heavy load

Her passion for her kids is fierce and true

A flame that never flickers or dies out

She’ll fight for them, no matter what ensues

And never let them feel lost or in doubt

A mother’s strength is like a mighty oak

Rooted deep within her heart and her soul

She stands firm, never bending or breaking

And makes her family feel safe and whole

Her patience is a virtue, tried and true

A virtue that she teaches by example

She’ll wait and guide until her children grow

And help them through any obstacle or sample

To all the moms, near and far

Who give their all for their family’s sake

Mothers are the guiding light, the brightest star!

-A Mother’s Love!-

Blessings and Love!

Thank you for reading.

One improvement I can make in my life right now is consistency. Lately, I have been slacking a lot in too many areas, and I need to get back on track. Consistency is key to achieving my goals and dreams. I plan on improving my consistency and doing what is needed to get where I want to be. I have to remember that I got this, and I can succeed.
