Pure Thoughts: A Book of Poetry from the Heart

By K.L. Lewis

This book of poetry and miniature stories is a collection of poems written over the years. One of the most important things in life is freedom of expression. If you cannot verbally express yourself, you should be able to write it all out for peace of mind. Sometimes just sitting and listening to others life stories can be very interesting and eye-opening, it brings about ideas of things to write about and brings awareness to individual differences and similarities. Our stories are not that different after all

In this book, the good, the bad and the needs improvements are addressed. Life can be a journey and take you on rides youve never imagined. Some of the rides can be painful, some loving and romantic, others disheartening, to the point of wanting to give up, but in the end we all have an inner strength that allows us to pick up the pieces and move forward.

CHAPTER 1

BELIEVING IN ME

FAITH

Life is worth living… you can go on

There is nothing that tragic

to keep you in mourn

Love yourself, treasure your life

don’t be afraid, don’t shut out the light

Be strong in faith, be courageous in self

know that you can, know that you’re felt

If you think no one loves you, think again

GOD never fails us; he’s more than our friend

Close down your guard; open up your heart

see the amazing blessings…you’ve let yourself depart

If you feel you have nothing else,

never lose your faith

For he works in mysterious ways

for he will always provide a way.

MOVED ON

As I think back to all those many days

that I cried and sighed and wondered why

I began to smile inside at how I’d just about lost my mind

Was it really worth my time, my pain, my sorrow

always hoping things would be better
