My Journey of Memories, Thoughts, and Dreams

By Marianne Miley

To my friend, assurer and inspirer
Not for a long time, if ever before, has a collection of words upon a page given me cause to look inside
myself and find similarities and a feeling of being one and peace with the world. Your works are fabulous
and is an art that can be scrutinized and enjoyed by many. The inspirational and positive look upon life
gives credit to your ability to look beyond the here and now reality and encompass all things magical.
I hope fellow readers enjoy and gain as much from this collection as I have.

Take my Hand

Take my hand,

Open your mind

A journey shared with many.

Turn the pages,

Read the words

Follow its thoughts and memories.

Wait a while,

Sing your song

Your faith will be returned.

The sun will shine

Again for you,

This is what I’ve learned.

A simple soul,

A thoughtful mind,

A message for all that read.

A crumbling path,

A lost affection

And searching for a need.

The light will be

There to see,

Breathe the dreams you find.

Open your eyes,

Listen carefully

Absorb it in your mind.

Flowers blossom,

Birds fly freely

Nature is our glory.

Taste the fruits

That it bears

Join me in my story.

Cry a tear,

Laugh a smile

Absorb the love within.

Written from

Me for you

Shall we now begin?

Remember this

When all is lost

You’re precious to all who know…

What it is

You search and yearn,

And what will make you grow.

I could not see

My way forward,
