Beacon

Life’s essence lies within your gentle glow,
A testament to the divine, a guiding flow.
In darkness, devoid of life’s tender show,
But with your brilliance, life’s seeds we sow.

So let your light shine, bold and true,
For within it, lies the essence of life anew.
Be the beacon, the spark, that breakthrough,
And in the light, find your purpose, pursue.

Work

Working with hands and minds entwined,
Bringing balance to life, refined.
Smiles at day’s end, pure delight,
Proof of joy in each hard-won fight.

Involuntary grins, they tell no lies,
As we rest beneath evening skies.
Use every gift, make moments mount,
Body and mind, in harmony, count.

Enjoy the labor, the sweat, the strain,
For in our work, true selves we gain.
So let us toil, let us strive,
For in our work, we truly thrive.

Volcano

Thirst, a fire within, must be quenched true,
With grace, let calmness gently ensue.
Like snow, a shield, serene and white,
Yet beneath, a volcano’s fiery might.

Appearances deceive, as mountains stand tall,
Cool on the surface, but within, flames call.
To be like her, not mere pretense show,
Embrace the journey, let authenticity grow.

It takes courage to be your truest form,
But the path is worth it, through calm or storm.
