show me the way
shall I ever know?

crashing all around

Steps
By Laura Fuller
To learn and grow, we have to take baby steps, fall, and get back up. You can not change and heal overnight; it takes time. This poem speaks of self love and giving yourself a break.
Steps
Babies they grow
steps they take
fall and up again
Grown-ups they falter
one step then another
fall and lay low?
Why oh why are you down
when acts of the day
take many a night
to learn and grow?
No expert
ever rose on high
without a stumble and fall.
Kindness to self
imperfect you are
so steps you take
will cause a fall.
Get up and rise again
make steady your feet
to soar!
One True Talent
By Laura Fuller
You are worthy of living and breathing. Dig deep within yourself to find the talent that God has given you and then cultivate it. One True Talent is a poem that speaks of your talent as being you. You are the talent God has given you. Find your self love within yourself.
One True Talent
A gift I say
have none
was I passed up?
no talent bestowed?
I missed my talent
defeat and dispair
I searched and searched
just one I need
maybe small indeed
I dug so deep
the earth rumbled up
buried within
deeper and deeper
to the oceans depth
and there I found
my gift
it’s me!

At times I trust you
my best friend
worst enemy.
We are one from beginning
to end.
You fail me
build me up
laugh with me
and cry
but still no trust.
how will it be?
my trust in you
to guide me
with unconditional love?
you and me
we are one
born in the moment
growing together.
I am you and you are me
how will it be
to trust me?

By Laura Fuller
There will be many storms in your life. But one thing is always sure, and that is the faithfulness and mercy of our Lord and Savior. This poem speaks of self trust. It is about trusting God, which is a part of self love.
A Storm Is Coming
I buttoned down the hatch
and battened up the windows
I watched the storm track
and shook in my shoes.
What if I die?
the storm takes me away
From nowhere
my guiding light
broke my blindness.
In the midst of my storm
I couldn’t run
nowhere to hide
In the eye of my storm
I prayed, I cried.
Light so bright
the presence of God
His promises to hold me.
I faced my storms
I rose above
His faith never waivered
His mercy never failed

let the winds carry you
the waters to cleanse
laugh, love, renew
go fly on the wind
rise above the storm
for the times you knew
will pass away
the cleansing waters
are here to stay

Perpetual motion
moving forward
one thought
unto another
one action.
Forward minds
think alike

your thoughts
unto mine.

the culprit
or gossip?
Is the circle complete
or will my steadfast feet
stand strong for me?

takes your breath
constricts your heart
consumes your brain
awake all night
smothered by dark
What do you do?
Crystal Ball
By Laura Fuller
If only you had a crystal ball that could tell your future. Then you could avoid all evil and live happily ever after. But you don’t, nor will you ever have insight into your future. You have to trust in God, which is a form of self trust because Jesus lives in you. He will guide you and help you earn from your mistakes.
Crystal Ball
I wish I had a magic ball
to answer all my questions.
Or just a crystal ball
to tell my future.
I wish I knew
Oh what faith I need
to scale the ups and downs
to rise above my falls
Oh I wish I knew
the answer!
My Pen
By Laura Fuller
When you have low self-worth or self-esteem it is helpful to write down words of self-affirmations. Keep a list of your good qualities. At first, it may be hard to come up with some but dig deep and keep adding to your list. This poem talks of writing and how it will take you anywhere.
My Pen
My pen is my pal
it helps me decide
what life to take
what road to ride.
So, when I feel
down and alone
I pick up my pen
and away we go.
My pen takes me to seas
and back again
it shows me my dreams
where life begins.
So, you see
my pen is my pal
whatever I can be
my pen will see.
