Poems, Prayers and Promises

By Marina Roy

In my late teens I made the decision to become the best me I could be. I owe this decision to my dearest friend and mentor, Maurice Allen, unfortunately, now deceased, and very much missed. As Maurice would keep on telling me: “Be the best you can be” and “What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve!” Wow, were these lessons or what but that really stuck with me. These words of his still remain with me to this day at 58 years old. It has and it is still my main mission in life. To learn and grow for the rest of my life. May it become your mission in life as well. In addition, my poems are many of the life-lessons I have tried to live by. Many poems are simply funny or sad but, still, there is always something to get from each and every one of my poems. It is a way to live by, to think to become a better person which is the purpose of life for all of us. May they inspire you! God bless....

I am French Canadian born in a small town in the Gaspe peninsula in Quebec, Canada. I left home at 16 years of age and moved in with my two older sisters in July of 1976 to live in Toronto, Ontario. I have also lived in Vancouver, British Columbia and Winnipeg, Manitoba. I have now returned to the Gaspe peninsula to live. I am the proud mother of a now 25 year old daughter. I love to sing (which I'm pretty good at if may I say so myself), read, old movies, nature and, yes, I enjoy playing the VLTs whenever I can go. I love travelling and I hope to able to see some special places such as Rome and the Vatican and Israel to name a few. I am more spiritual than religious and I have a strong belief in God and the power (s)he has in our lives. I try to learn as much as I can everyday; some days more, other days less. I love to read about history such as biblical history, world history, my country's history, etc. I read books on spirituality, religion, biographies and such. I have many subjects which interest me. The list is endless. I try to shower those around me with my love, my positive energy whenever I'm around them. Yet, I do enjoy sitting home doing my own stuff too. I also enjoy watching the news and know what is happening in the world. I somewhat also enjoy politics.
