Food

 Oftentimes we are reminded;

“Breakfast! It’s the most important meal of the day”

And yet so many of us still neglect it, thinking it’ll help keep the pounds away.


It doesn’t always have something hefty 

Like the plate full of “bacon, eggs, and grits”

No, it may just be a bowl of cereal, 

Or a bar of granola, just something to help you maintain your wits


You can easily refuel at lunch,

by keeping it simple with a BLT.

Or you can go all out, 

I’m talking fried chicken with the Mac and cheese.


“I think I’ll have hibachi, fried rice with that yum-yum sauce!

Or maybe the six ounce steak from Roadhouse…” 

Yeah dinner brings it all home, and you know it doesn’t matter the cost! 

Because today was a bit hectic and Tina got on your nerves,

But all that went away, with the indulgence of your favorite dessert!


“You’re not you when you’re hungry!”

Man, that quote is so true

If you don’t think so, wait until you’re frustrated and go grab a quick bite 

You’ll think and feel better 

You’ll again feel like you!


So if you’re unmotivated, angry, or even  just downright blue

Go grab that snickers, or the cooled strawberry dipped in fondue 


I’m telling you, it can be watermelon, chocolate, something simple like that 

Or it can be a full fledged meal, followed by  a bunch of snacks…

Whatever the mood, 

I guarantee it gets better with food.

Keep Pressing

 Life is not always perfect, nor is it always fair.

So many times in our pursuit of hope, do we find ourselves lost in despair.

In a quest to find true love, we are soon derailed by heartache.

Too many times we question ourselves, 

"Where did I go wrong, what was my mistake?"


We forget that those times are needed to build us and make us grow!

They are there to help make us perfect, though the process may be slow.

The trials test our faith, frustrations test our character.

In the periods that test our patience, let us continue daring ourselves to be better.


We never know who's watching, inspired by our determination

We may be the only "Bibles" some read, in their search for salvation.

So I never want you to give up, yes keep pushing through

Because the answer to someone's prayers, may be found in you!
