People forgot about the young children 

Looking up to them 

Waiting for them to make a move 

That would change their lives 

Hoping that they take the right steps 

And hold their money tight 

While investing in business that take flight 

Let the future generations come to mind 

When you work 

There's no use in providing a roof for comfort 

If your assets have no worth 

Put the children first 

Why not save for college? 

Don't avoid the rainy day fund 

Some people will frivolously spend their money 

While others will hold off 

On having uncalculated fun 

Consider tomorrow 

Because time waits for no one 

Value the moments that the world can't see 

The work is done  

While easy going people are sleeping 

 

Love always, Esha  <3

Key

You can feel the pressure but not succumb to the heat 

Be hopeful and steadfast no matter what you see 

Because the path is narrow

But that doesn't make it absent of debris 

God can open doors no man can close 

Because He has the key 

Love always, Esha<3

Don't Give Up

The quitter mentality is becoming a hindrance in our society. For many people quitting at the first sign of trouble has become the norm. But we only discover the breath of adversity and the fortitude found in triumph when we push forward without ceasing. Every fruit producing plant once started as a seed in need of water and fertile ground. It is the job of the dreamer to base their aspirations in reality by working towards their goals. Keep standing, working and speaking things as though they were.

God has created a plan and a purpose for each and everyone of us. Whether or not we choose to pursue that path is our choice. On many occasions, since I graduated college I have found myself in need of guidance, direction and support. I am thankful to say that God has supplied all those needs. He is truly a friend indeed and for His mercy and support I am forever grateful. I have a corny yet insightful saying that has encouraged my spirit along the way: 

Don't give up, don't give in. You were made to preserve. You were birthed to win. The Holy Spirit is your comforter and Jesus is your friend. 

Many of us have faced rejection of some sort and these feelings are stirred up when we pursue our goals and the desired outcome isn't immediate gratification. The desire to quit when we fall down is continuous. But if we don't get up the struggle will continue endlessly. Because we live with the regret of what if. What if I tried? 

To hold on is difficult but to let go satisfies the fear of failure. So it is important to remember that according to 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. With that being said, have faith and let go of any fear that may hinder you from achieving great things. Your blessing is right around the corner. But you must have faith in order to know it's there waiting on you to believe it. In times like these, God gives us the power of hope. Keep pushing forward. 

Love always, Esha <3

No Longer Weary

We're just now seeing the ball of glowing fire 

The red light is bright but nothing like fluorescence. 

It stings the eyes, it lights up the world,

It electrifies the soul, it burns out of control. 

The shinning rays touching cold skin gives the weary

A renewed reason to hope. 

And that’s why we stand at the cusp of a new day.

Love always, Esha

Opinion: For People to Think Your Somebody

Alright

Cherish your loved ones while you can

Kiss their rosey checks

Hold their precious hand

Speak uplifting words in the hour tribulation

Pray with them

Let them know that you can sympathize

Show a warmth to express

That you understand

When the wind beats at their worn door

Stand beside them as a friend

The things that we forget we did

Mean something in the end

So cherish your loved ones while you can

Give them wild flowers

And provide them with hope

That a tired heart can comprehend

Because no one wants to be alone

When the hard days come

The good time Sally and John are cool

Until the lightening strikes

It’s those moments when you want a caring soul to check on you

And make sure you’re alright

Love always, Esha

Laughter

Why is it so hard to say, I love you? 

No matter the things we go through... 

I still care. 

And when you need a friend to be around. 

I will do my best to be there. 

No matter the cost. 

I'll pay your fare. 

Us together is the good time that keeps on giving. 

The laugh that should've stopped but keeps on going. 

Eyes slanted with tears of laughter and the grin of white teeth showing. 

Gut busting, knee slapping chuckles ensue. 

There is something awesome about being next to you. 

Our moments make life a little sweeter. 

No matter what kind of day I'm having... 

I'm always happier to see ya.  

Love always, Esha <3
