Reflective Time Poem by Erika T.

Quiet Time, Tranquility,
When I look deep inside of me.
What do I want? Where am I going?
What kind of garden have I been sowing?
Do I plant flowers? Do I pull weeds?
Do I dare desire? Do know my own needs?
Do I stay here, or venture there?
Can I be truly happy anywhere?
Look at my life. Do you like what you see?
You should be striving for all you can be.
You have only one shot. Don't just stand still.
Discover your dreams. Pursue what you will.
Be true to yourself and others as well.
To live out a lie is personal hell.
Don't be afraid to try new things.
You may be pleased with what one brings...
To enhance your life and build you up
Transform you from that shy, scared pup
To someone who's serene, secure.
Look at life's deception. Seek what is pure.
Quiet Time, Tranquility,
When I look deep inside of me.
What do I want? Where am I going?
What kind of seeds should I be sowing?
