My name is Debra Northern and I started writing poetry as of this year. I submitted two of my poems to a poetry contest and they were accepted and published by The National Library of Poetry which was truly and honor for me. I work for a Janitorial service that does contract cleaning of which I am their Administrative Assistant. I like to write abut things that inspire me and that I see existing in the world. My goal one day is to have a book of my poems published. I enjoy reading and spending time with family and friends. |
VisualizationTo see a wave of flowing waterRise above the sea Makes one think how strong Brotherhood could be... If we could focus on humanity To see a wave of flowing water Rise above the sea Makes one think how beautiful Unity could be As the force of the water Gives power to uplift What a nation we would be... I f oneness were to exist |
My ChildThere are so many things I want to doBut my life is on hold now There are so many places I want to go But my life is on hold now There are so many goals I would like to achieve But my life is on hold now For I have a child, and that child comes first When you have a child Your needs and wants are put on hold For that's what parenthood is all about Patience to smile when I could cry Acceptance of you with all my heart and soul Tolerance when at times you feel what's the point Indebted to you for life Encouraging you to always keep the faith Now and then I wonder will you love your child As much as I love you Comforting to know a child's love accepts you unconditionally Especially when without you my life would be unfulfilled |
DefeatWhen I see that I may be discouragedThat feeling we all get that's so familiar I think back on all the misfortunes That I have conquered Day by Day Eliminating all negativity in my life Fighting to keep my vitality Emotion overwhelms me sometimes Only to revive my perception That failure will not exhilarate in my future... |
