Whispers of Resilience


I used to be happy with teardrops,
A symphony of sorrow, a dance with the rain,
I used to smile with every grief,
Finding beauty in heartache, embracing the pain.

Standing firm when I am broken,
A fortress of strength in the shadows of night,
I have been this way for a long time,
A warrior of silence, still searching for light.

I used to dream big in my little world,
Where stars were within reach, and skies were so wide,
I used to be strong with my weakest thought,
A flicker of hope in the depths of my pride.

Life did not get in the way because life took long,
A journey of patience, a test of my will,
Lying in bed of worries, my heart is racing,
A tempest of thoughts that I struggle to still.

Maybe they're better off without the burns in me,
A whisper of doubt that creeps in like a thief,
I feel so lost and alone,
A shadow of self, wrapped in disbelief.

So still I lay here with no tears left to cry,
These wounds are no longer bleeding; they’ve turned into scars,
And my eyes are so dry,
Yet I search for the solace in the light of the stars.

Maybe one day will come,
When the dawn breaks anew,
Maybe I will feel better,
And find strength in the view.

But I've lost all hope,
A flicker dimmed by the night,
God, please carry on,
And guide me back to the light.

Plate Of Plenty

If you don't feel like eating, think of them! This photo has so much pain. 😒 Food is life, but brain fog for an ungrateful heart.  If you don't like what's on your plate,  don’t toss it aside, don’t seal its fate.  Each morsel holds a story, a journey begun, A  gift from the earth, a battle won.   Imagine a morning when the table is bare,  what will you do when hunger calls loud, No bread, no fruit, just an empty stare.  The abundant meals and the warmth of a feast, All vanish in silence and hunger unleashed.  When a pantry is empty, and your stomach aches.   Don't dare to wish!  So, before you discard what you do not desire, think  of the hands that toiled, the hearts that inspire.  Each bite is a blessing, a chance to reflect on  those who have little, on lives we protect.  So, savor the flavors, let gratitude flow, For  the food on your table, let appreciation grow.  For one day you may wake, a...

Gratitude for Provided Lunch

Why We Need to Stop Wasting Our School Lunch Recently, a teacher raised a frustrating concern: students are throwing away the school-provided lunches. It’s a tough conversation, but it is one we need to have. The lunch provided by the PSS (Public School System) is a privilege. Many communities and organizations do not have the resources to offer free daily meals, and we are fortunate to have this support. Being thankful for what we receive creates a better school environment and shows appreciation for the staff who work hard to feed us every day. If you don't want to eat your meal, please do not throw it in the trash. Give it to a classmate who wants it. Consistently discarding food creates negative feedback that could jeopardize the entire lunch program. If we want this program to survive, we need to adapt. That means being willing to eat fruits and vegetables, rather than just sticking to the usual foods we prefer. This program is an opportunity to build healthier eating habi...
