Let It Go!
Forgive the hurt, release your pain
Embrace the here and now today
No looking back, without delay
Create your joy and then maintain
Harmony’s pleasing to attain
Have peace of mind around the clock
Euphoric state will be a shock
Decide to change your condition
Right here, right now, grant permission
Free the emotional gridlock

Change Of Life (Décima)
Brain on pause, memory cloudy
Running on fumes, sleep’s a fortune
Flashing heat, extreme exhaustion
Erratic moods, cheerful, pouty
Mild temper erupts to rowdy
Focus shattered, thoughts all wander
Energy? None left to squander
Productive days get disrupted
Concentration interrupted
“The Change” anguish—facts to ponder

Her Courage Matters (Décima)
Family doomed right from the start
Plain and simple, Dad likes to roam
Pain he causes pervades the home
And Mom contains her broken heart
Safety denied, she plays it smart
Tried to escape his angry scorn
Long before a third child was born
But now the coast and skies are clear
With turbo speed, they flee in fear
Reaching the runway plane next morn
Not every woman’s story can be told, so for this day in Women’s History Month I’m recognizing those whose plight remains unknown but their strength and courage is empowering.
