Poems from Reine's Heart

"The day you find love. The day you find happiness. The day you learn to trust. The day you learn to forgive. The day you know God. The day you know yourself. This is a wonderful day. A day that could not, should not be forgot. Carry this day with you. Carry what you found, what you learned, and what you knew. Let go of the regret. Let go of the hate. Let go of the guilt. Let go of the sorrow. Bury it beneath your feet. Rise up and face the day."

"it's funny how we feel that it's our right to be loved. but really, what right do we have to think someone should take that step, that risk, that jump into loving us. it's not easy. loving someone that is. full heartedly. everything thrown in. think about it. loving someone. it's a beautiful thing. probably the most precious thing god gave us. but with its beauty comes risk and hurt. should we really expect someone to take that leap for us? are we being selfish? or are we truly worthy? the way i see it is...well god gave us love. he loves us and we certainly don't deserve it. so if we strive to be more like him, why become shy with love? if we love others like he loves us, it will create a cycle. a cycle that will give each of us the right, the worthiness, the courage to take that step, that risk, that jump into love."


"angels. they're real, i promise. i do not put my word on many things, i promise. so when i do promise something, bet your life its true. but angels...they're pretty amazing. we all have our angels. angels that make sure you don't fall asleep and miss your life. angels that carry you when you stand too firm. angels that sing to you in quiet mornings. angels that piece your heart back together when it's been broken. angels that laugh at your jokes when no one else will. angels that slow you down when you forget to watch sunsets and talk to animals. angels that teach you how to love. see i told you they're real. but god also gave us another kind. two kinds of angels, i promise he did. this other kind....well they're pretty amazing. these angels give hugs. these angels are your sister, your friend....they could be the guy at the car wash, the guy askin' for money on the street corner, the guy you pass everyday, but have no idea who he is. he could be an angel. would you know? do you know? well i know a few, i promise. they've touched my heart. lead me to my maker, my savior. given me love, taught me how to love. supported me, encouraged me. just thinking about them makes me smile and even makes my heart skip a beat now and then. they're angels god let live among us. they're angels god let us get to know. and they're angels god let us fall in love with. they're angels i thank my angels for."


"home. it's a common word, full of meaning and memories. but what is home? is it the place where you were born? the place where you grew up? the place where your family is? home holds a lot more than we give it credit for. to me home is a combination of things. my home is where my love is. the people i love, the people who live in my heart, who mean the most to me. the people i thank god for everyday. the people who know me, the true me and love me anyways. the people i know i couldn't live without. the people who have influenced me and helped make me the girl i am today. the people i strive to be like. the people i pray for. the people i long for. the people i miss terribly when they're gone and celebrate when they're near. the people i'd hold onto forever. the people i'll never let go. this is my home. they are my home.
