The heart is amazing wouldn’t you know.

For the scars over the years are never to show.

You can go on living your life and move on from fear

but the words that scarred will always be near.

We live in a society that always moves on.

People doubt what makes us tick

but little do they know the heart is drowning by a flick, flick, flick.

Damaged hearts will always be worn, some may even be scorn.

Some may say the damage makes you stronger

but what would they know, because the heart will always ponder.

Ponder the things that it’s faced,  because they are things that are untraced.

You may be thinking this is all very somber.

Yes that is true, but does it not make you wonder?

Wonder how people carry  burdens so freely?

How do they determine how life will be;

once they are free and no longer drowning in the sea?

Why do we pass each other so carelessly?

Maybe it’s because of uncertainty.

Regardless of how your heart may be

everyone hopes for sort of normality.

Actually there are a ton of people who are abnormal

some just try to act formal.

Internally it’s all a different game. Some may feel shame.

Some may look for others to blame.

The heart is simply amazing.

 

Like a rapid forest fire spreading

you run and you run to get away.

Some parts turn grey while other parts fray.

But no matter where you go those wounds will always stay.

Wounds heal and usually leave a scar.

The scar makes a story that can be shared with those who look from a-far.

Your story can make a difference and make others perspectives a little more a-jar.

The heart is truly amazing.

There is still a fire that’s blazing.

Blazing and burning for something more.

 

Keep your head held high, and ignore the carnivores that try to eat you alive.

The harsh words and actions that may come out;

are often a defense mechanism to survive.

These repressed feelings are something you can’t ignore.

Go on now, the crowd is screaming encore.

Below are some photos that make my heart beat a little more.

My friend Lyndel is a part of a Non Profit Organization called Football For The World Foundation. They hold camps all over the world to To improve the quality of life of children through the game of football.  Football For The World Page

Lyndel was able to get over 40 pairs of football boots,jerseys, balls, and vest donated and sent to Korea so she could hold a camp. I was fortunate enough to be able to help with the camp this time.

During the camp we did drills and games with the students. 

They had a great time and at the end all the supplies that were donated to use for the camp were gave to the students to keep. It was a great day. 

This was a stand when we arrived in the Philippines. This lady makes skewers of chicken and pork to sell for less than a dollar. She was so kind and welcoming. 

This was the view from our hostel. I was amazed that we were so close to the beach. It was beautiful. 

These were some scallops we ordered. I had tried scallops before and never liked them that much. I’m proud  I gave them another chance, because they were absolutely delicious. 

This was right before the sun came up. There has been a storm the night before but I liked the shadow effect it left. 

The day cleared up and we did an island tour. It was breathtaking. 

My travel buddy Alana! Grateful we could share this experience together. 

This fella gave both of us a ride with our bags.. I would imagine we weren’t the lightest of the bunch. He did this each day for his wages. It made me appreciate him even more.

This was a flower outside of a resort we went to visit. Just up the road was the gate to the exit and outside that exit was a lot of poverty. I would like to think that those who face such extreme conditions can still find beauty in the little things.

This is my little sister Mikki. She went fishing and sent me this picture of her first fish. It made my heart smile.

My heart beats with scars on it, but thankfully I can still see the beauty in all the madness.

Your heart beats the same as mine. Give someone a little bit of your time.
