Poem: In Freedom We Stand

           

In Freedom We Stand


Many lives were given to lead the way to a better life

Those left standing did not know if when they wake if it will be their last day present

Here they will walk a path knowing what dangers await them

The second step taken will be to either victory or loss this was unknown 

What was the last memories that the past comrades had, they may wonder

Yet there is no time to think of either the past or the future

Paths come to view but nothing seems to be clear

Will this be a spot for refuge or a place that awaits them horror, this they may have wondered

On they keep marching for aware of their surroundings they have to be

Screams they hear from the distance that will forever be locked in history

This day they may have survived yet no promises of tomorrow they can see

Knowing that they must continue for in Freedom they must fight to be

Those that are damaged for what they have believed in

Wondering one must be if tomorrow the struggles will be even greater

Will the others they fought for recognize their pain and sorrow

Or will they walk away in hate for the lost they have suffered

Heroes are recognized and awarded for their bravery yet others yell in anguish 

Do we hear all the stories or just the ones we so desire

Alone those who fought for our freedom stand in silence 

Others rejoice on the glory but so many still live in the yester years

As we have enjoyed for hundreds of years our wealth and freedom

Still so many have lost the memories of the ones who awarded us this Gift of glory

Here in Freedom we stand for so many years and many our fighting for us to keep it

Let us remember that the glory belongs to those who gave this Freedom that we so easily stand in today

For there were many who gave of their life so we can all have and keep this land of liberty

Written by;    Maria Elena Padron

Let’s all honor those that made this beautiful country free for all of us, be mindful that many lives were lost in that dream.

Addictions - Not Always Noticed

When you hear the word “Addiction”, what’s honestly the first thing that comes to your mind?  The first thing that comes to my mind the majority of the time is alcohol or drugs, for that turns into a chemical dependency beyond the mental or emotional state.  Yet addictions can be to anything physical, emotional or thoughts actually even with relationships to people or a cause.  The majority of us get so wrapped up in our lives that we don’t take the time to analyze what’s happening with us health wise including the whole person “body, mind & spirit” so it can become to grow into an addiction.  When you start realizing there is a problem even though your love ones keep bringing it to your attention its when  the floor drops on you that it makes you Wake Up and you Face the Truth that you have become an addict.  It is not an easy step to take for admitting that what or whom you like becomes an obsession it can then become an addiction.  There was one...

The Cries of the Body

The Cries of the Body Even though I have always been sensitive and aware of my body’s reactions to the external and internal substances, I just realized at 62 years wiser (LOL) how much I do try to control my surroundings, situations, as well as my body to follow my thoughts and desires.  For many years since my early 30s I was diagnosed with Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) and was informed if not controlled in later years it can turn into Hyperglycemia (high blood sugar aka Diabetes).  A part of me knew it was due to stress for it did occur after my massage course and studying for my massage license.  The divine guides which is also what some call “inner wisdom” there were messages that was given about taking time to relax and meditate.  There was information given to me from specialist in the Health industry as well as books I read to separate my meals into smaller portions so I will eat every 2-3 hours in the day which helps also with your metabolism which is the p...

Meaning of COVID-19

               When there is a crisis going on in the world, we look around to figure out what is going on.  Who can we put the blame on so we can build up our hatred and disapproval.   The real answers lie within all of us and ALL  of us are to blame.  We feed others with our negative thoughts and words.  There is the pointing of the fingers but no one points at themselves, just complaining about what the standards of protection are, the inconvenience brings, how we feel trapped, etc., but some have not tried to see how to contribute to find a solution.  It's amazing the ones that cry and complain the most are the one's that seem to be more of the problem then the solution.  There is a continuous hatred among all of us (myself included) for none are excluded, (there are very few humbled souls but unfortunately they are the minority) not even those that consider themselves the victims.   Even in th...
