The Squirrel

Poetry: The Squirrel

by Liam

With summer fled and autumn storm comes hope,

This golden leaf, no longer green but free, spins, dancing in the skies.

Each tree’s trunk echoes to the summer past, stretches up, grope’s.

To us, we see this beauty cast and fall in love with autumn eyes.

From Birch and Beech, each and every blade now tries to flee,

The leaf of morning cool with moisture now touches me.

The happy swallows cheep, their young now gone, way south to sun,

While bushy-tailed, the squirrel scrambles free,

His quirky eyes to gather nuts in secret heaps for days to come.

I turn to me and gaze with wondrous brow,

A million miracles all around, but how?

My Lessons

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life.

1. Responsibility: Growing up often involves taking on more responsibilities, whether it’s chores at home, school assignments, or eventually, work. Learning to be responsible is a crucial life skill.

2. Resilience: Life is full of challenges and setbacks. Learning to bounce back from failures and adversity is a valuable lesson that helps build character and inner strength.

3. Empathy: Understanding and caring for the feelings and perspectives of others is essential for building healthy relationships and becoming a compassionate person.

4. Independence: As you grow, you gradually gain more independence. Learning to make decisions, manage your finances, and take care of yourself are vital aspects of becoming self-sufficient.

5. Continuous Learning: The world is constantly changing, so a willingness to learn and adapt is crucial. Whether it’s acquiring new skills, staying informed, or seeking personal growth, lifelong learning is a valuable lesson.

These lessons contribute to personal growth and development throughout one’s life. Liam

My Partner

Poem: My Partner

by Liam

Twixt the gold of autumn,

It’s silver grey which slowly spreads,

As years go by, across my head,

Yes, you who, in words, in thoughts.

In manifold deeds unsaid, have filled my life & more.

Have touched the deep strong core.

The meaning of me, of my being more.

That treasure rich now fills this chest,

Wherein contained my beating heart doth lie.

The wet tear strokes with gentle streak, I cry.

My memory warm, pressed soft against your cheek.

Now shines and takes us spinning across the floor.

We’ve shared the stage called life.

We’ve shared applause & moments lonely lost in strife.

And through it all, from waking kiss till late now in the fall,

Of day, of season, of this magic moment captured call.

We together sang the song called life,

My friend, whose hands mine warmed,

Departed swift this morn into the light.

Left life, yet I’ll hold on with all my might,

In my still beating heart, the love,

To carry you, across your long and distant night.

Sports

How often do you walk or run? Daily.

Engaging in sports is vital for maintaining good health for several reasons:

  1. Physical Fitness: Sports require physical activity, helping individuals build strength, endurance, and flexibility. Regular participation in sports helps in weight management, reducing the risk of obesity and related health issues.
  2. Cardiovascular Health: Sports such as swimming, running, and cycling improve cardiovascular health by increasing heart rate and promoting efficient blood circulation, reducing the risk of heart disease.
  3. Mental Well-being: Physical activity releases endorphins, which are natural mood lifters. Sports can help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression, promoting mental well-being.
  4. Social Interaction: Team sports and group activities encourage social interaction and the development of strong interpersonal relationships. This can combat feelings of isolation and loneliness.
  5. Discipline and Focus: Sports require discipline, focus, and determination, which can translate into improved self-control and time management in other aspects of life.
  6. Bone Health: Weight-bearing sports like tennis or basketball help maintain bone density, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures as individuals age.
  7. Skill Development: Many sports demand the development of specific skills, enhancing hand-eye coordination, agility, and spatial awareness.
  8. Longevity: Regular physical activity through sports can increase life expectancy by reducing the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension.
  9. Confidence and Self-esteem: Success in sports can boost self-confidence and self-esteem, which can have a positive impact on various aspects of life.
  10. Fun and Enjoyment: Sports provide an enjoyable way to stay active. When people find activities they love, they are more likely to stick with them, ensuring long-term health benefits.

In conclusion, participating in sports is not only about competition but also about nurturing a healthy body and mind. It fosters physical fitness, mental well-being, and social connections, making it a crucial component of a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Liam

Do you see yourself as a leader?

Do you see yourself as a leader?

True leadership is not about authority or control but about inspiring and guiding others toward a common theme, while maintaining true ethical and moral standards.

Different situations may call for different leadership styles, but these traits express the core ideas which I strive to follow in writing my poetry. Liam

Words:

What’s your favorite word?

Poetry: “Words”

by Liam

Words, words—the vessels we find,

Set them a-sail upon the ocean’s mind.

Fast, they move in search, then ponder,

Thus grows the cargo of my daily wonder.

I row with questions, pulling hard the oar,

Each an idea, which came before.

Whence we come, where will we go,

Who truly knows what life is for?

Awaken, wonders of the world, all seven,

Enabled, I cast my line to heaven.

Where these word’s appeal holds fast,

Joins together with the other world at last.

In amazement of all which lies between,

Heaven’s gate can wait till I’m serene.

Reflections of me, rainbows we are seeing,

In the spray of love thrown from the waves of being.
