Colette Dright Poems

This morning when I awoke and before I got dressed
I decided to myself to simply just wear less.

There are times when many of us overdress and others wonder why we are all stuffy and stank with our mood and attitude. It is because on those days you wore worry, anger, insecurity and could it be bitterness, stress, confusion, doubtfulness and uncertainty?
...

A child with no praise causes these kind of days

Your words are often micromanaged
Yet your rants and raves are never challenged
...

Spoken words are what I hear
That sinks into the depth of my ear
What's reflected and brought up later in time
Are the spoken words buried within my mind

Don't let the bread get stale came about when I had this huge crush on my lil sweetheart at work. I began putting snacks in his desk, basically things I know he likes. Well, I noticed the snacks were low, but I was being lazy and didn't go to the store. One day at home, the bread got stale, which meant now I had to go to the store. I finally went to Walmart, the snacks were only $10.00, but I ended up spending $95.00.
That's why I don't like to go to the store, because you get things you were not going in there to get.
So this is how this all came about, because the bread got stale.
...

The movement of life goes on each day
But frozen in time is where you stay
When the thought of a person reminds you of the past
Frozen in the moments you want to forever last

Enough is Enough

Ever since I was a child and throughout my growing up
All I kept saying was, Enough Mom, Enough
...

I want to share with you what each letter in the word STAND means to me.

You ever had a day off from work where God placed it upon your heart to go walking with Him? Well, I did just that today. I started my walk in this beautiful, wealthy subdivision, admiring the beautiful homes. After walking for a while, the beautiful homes were gone and it was just the isolated road and trees. I walked along the road to the land of Never, not once concerned with how far I had walked or how long I will walk. Since there was no sidewalk anymore, the gift to enjoy and walk a balanced life was intriguing to me. So I began balancing my walk on the curb. Walking by faith, walking in peace, walking towards my destiny. Is there more to this road? There has to be, for I wasn't finished my walk with Thee. The road had come to an end, nothing left but a gated fence and a fire station. End of the road, nothing to do but to make a U-turn, so you turn.

The calmness, the quietness, the serenity, the breeze blowing, the gratefulness, the grace, the beautiful, blue sky, the clouds on the move,72 degrees one week before Christmas, WOW! I just want to have a seat on the curb and so I did just that. I sat spending quiet time, just me and my Father looking up to the sky eating Hot Tamales, the cinnamon chewy candies.

Is vision without seeing
Is hearing without talking
Is feeling without touching
Is longing without lusting
