D is for Dream and My Weekend Blog Hop

Welcome to Make My Saturday Sweet
- Blog Hop #67!


You can link any family friendly
post below on my weekend hop.


The theme this week on
is the letter D.


Today I'm sharing two poems written by me.

You can find them on my poetry blog,


D is for Dream


To Live Your Dream


To live your dream

You can’t look at circumstances
Fear can’t stop you taking chances
You need courage in times of waiting
Not to step back when debating
Don’t look down when you’re going up
Think like a champion in the World Cup
Hold on when you feel you’re slipping
Faith and hope will keep you gripping
A life half lived is not living at all
When others think you’re crazy, just stand tall
Only you can be your true self
It’s not about gaining this world’s wealth
There’s only one of you and one of me
So there’s no room for any jealousy
Live your dream and live it big
Find the treasure, it’s worth the dig
You’re not here just for yourself
So don’t put destiny on the shelf
Live your life to the full
Don’t sit back and be a fool
Here’s your chance, take it now
Don’t keep asking yourself how
If the door shuts, find a window
Aim high, like with bow and arrow
Do the best that you can do
Because there’s nothing stopping you


by Christina A. Morley

D is for Different Drum

My Heart is Beating to a Different Drum


Sometimes I feel I’m just bidding time
Waiting for my life to unfold like a rhyme
Waiting for the day to sing a new song
But the waiting is taking way too long


My heart is beating to a different drum
A creative soul can’t fit into a sum
Like a color on canvas never seen before
Waiting for God to open that door
Knocking ‘till my knuckles are numb
‘Till God opens heaven and blesses me some


There are many adventures that I have lived
And many more that God’s gonna give
So, I’m not stopping. My life’s just begun
Into God’s great plans I’ll run


My heart is beating to a different drum
A creative soul can’t fit into a sum
Like a color on canvas never seen before
Waiting for God to open that door
Knocking ‘till my knuckles are numb
‘Till God opens heaven and blesses me some


Can you hear it beating loud and clear?
It’s the sound of hope; faith versus fear


by Christina A. Morley

We lost the internet and phone this week and I've been perched on an internet cafe stool trying to get the basics done. Hoping it's fixed soon and can't believe how much I rely on the internet. Have a great weekend!

Hi Teresa, I'm following back, even on FB. My profile on FB is Tina Morley. Amanda is my youngest child and the star of this blog. I have several blogs and this one is my family blog, but my teenagers don't want to be the center of my blog, so Amanda is. :)
