A Cold has Hit My Family

It starts with a tickle,
A little tickle in the throat.
You ignore it,
But it doesn’t go away.

It turns into a cough,
A hacking, dry cough.
You try to suppress it,
But it won’t be silenced.

Your nose starts to run,
And your eyes start to water.
You feel tired,
And you just want to go to bed.

You take some medicine,
But it doesn’t seem to help.
The cold has taken hold,
And there’s nothing you can do.

You’re stuck in bed,
With nothing to do but rest.
You’re miserable,
And you just want to feel better.

But the cold has its way,
And it will take its time.
There’s nothing you can do,
But wait it out.

In a few days,
The cold will run its course.
And you’ll be back to your old self,
But for now,
You’re just stuck in bed,
With a cold.

I Hate the Heat

The sun beats down like a hammer,
The air is thick and still.
I wish I could escape to winter,
Where the snow is cold and chill.

I long for the feeling of frost,
The crunch of snow beneath my feet.
I want to wrap myself in layers,
And stay warm and cozy all week.

But instead I’m stuck in this heat,
Boiling like a frog in a pot.
I can’t wait for winter to come,
And bring some relief at last.

Until then, I’ll just have to try
To stay cool and hydrated.
And dream of the day when I can
Finally escape this heat.

Supporting My Daughter

/ Nancy Ann Creed / Leave a comment

I have spoken out about her depression and her sucidial ideatnion. She is really dealing with a lot right. Some “Friends” found her ticktock and decided to make fun of her for it. She was so upset, she ripped up most of the artwork she mad. I want to show the bullies that they will not win. Zelda gave me permssion to show her vidoes. I hope by the postive feedback she is getting on other sites, that she will purpose her art once again.

@nancyanncreed

My duaghter took down her ticktok cause she was bullied. She agreed to put them up on my ticktok. The bullies don’t know my ticktok. So all the creative people and the therians out there, show her support. The messed up thing, is that my daughter had server depression and attempted sucide once. Her socalledfriends knew this. Yes she is in counseling. A lot of counseling, but I need to build her up and show her to rise above the bullies. #theriansoftiktok #theraiantiktok #therianpride #therians #therians #theriancommunity depression #art #bullies #bulliesoftikitok #stellathestar

Helpless

/ Nancy Ann Creed / 2 Comments

I wrote this in light of my daughter’s fight with depression. I can’t help her the way I want to. It has to come from her. I can take her to all the therapy appointments and doctor appointments but still it has to come from her.

I feel so helpless, like a caged bird
Who can only watch the world outside
As it goes on without me, unaware
Of my pain and my sorrow.

I feel so helpless, like a drowning man
Who can’t reach the surface for air
As the water closes in around me,
Tugging me down into darkness.

I feel so helpless, like a lost child
Who can’t find their way home
As the night falls and the shadows grow,
Enveloping me in fear.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness

To forgive is not to forget,
But to let go of the pain,
To release the anger and the hate,
And to open your heart again.

It is not to condone the wrong that was done,
But to choose to love,
Even when it is difficult,
Even when it feels like you cannot.

Forgiveness is a gift,
A gift to yourself,
A gift to the other person,
And a gift to the world.

It is the key to healing,
The key to freedom,
The key to peace.

So choose to forgive,
Even when it is hard,
Even when you don’t think you can.

Forgive for yourself,
Forgive for the other person,
And forgive for the world.

And in forgiving,
You will find healing,
You will find freedom,
You will find peace.

Flowers

Flowers

Flowers are the gifts of nature,
They bloom in all shapes and sizes,
They bring joy and happiness,
To all who see their bright smiles.

Flowers come in many colors,
Red, yellow, blue, and pink,
They can be found in gardens,
Or in the wild, they do not shrink.

Flowers are a symbol of love,
And friendship, and hope,
They can bring a smile to your face,
Even when you are feeling low.

So next time you see a flower,
Take a moment to appreciate it,
And remember that it is a gift,
From the natural world, to you.

Morning and I Don’t Want to Wake

The morning calls, a gentle whisper,
Yet still I linger, half asleep.
The sun shines bright, the birds are singing,
But still I cannot rise to keep.

I know I must, I have things to do,
But oh, the warmth of this soft bed!
The covers are so cozy,
And I could just stay here instead.

But no, I must get up, I must face the day.
The world is waiting for me,
And I cannot hide away forever.

So I take a deep breath, and I open my eyes.
The sun is shining brighter now,
And the birds are singing even louder.

I know it will be a good day,
Even if I’m a little sleepy.
After all, there’s nothing like a challenge
To wake you up and get you going.

A Spark of Greatness

/ Nancy Ann Creed / Leave a comment

A spark of greatness,
I see within you.
The potential for great things,
I know is true.

It lies dormant,
Waiting to be awakened.
A fire that will burn bright,
And never be forsaken.

So let it shine through,
Let your greatness be known.
The world is waiting for you,
To show them what you’ve grown.

Don’t let anything hold you back,
Don’t let anyone tell you no.
You are destined for greatness,
So go out and show them so.

Believe in yourself,
And in your dreams.
The sky is the limit,
So reach for the stars.

You are destined for greatness,
So go out and make your mark.
The world is yours for the taking,
So seize the day and never look back.

First day with students!! Let’s go!!!!

The new year brings a fresh start
For teachers young and old,
A chance to make a difference
In the lives of those we hold.

We’ll open our hearts and minds
To the children that we teach,
And help them learn and grow
In ways they never could have dreamed.

We’ll share our knowledge and wisdom
With those who are eager to learn,
And help them reach their full potential
No matter what their background.

We’ll be there to support them
Through the good times and the bad,
And help them navigate the challenges
That life will surely bring.

We’ll be their mentors and their friends,
Their role models and their guides,
And we’ll help them become the best versions of themselves
That they can be.

So let’s raise a glass to the new year!
To new beginnings and new possibilities!
To the teachers who make a difference!
And to the children who make it all worthwhile!

One Day at a Time

One Day at a Time

The world spins round and round and round,
And I’m just trying to keep my feet on the ground.
But it’s hard, when all I feel is stress,
And I don’t know which way to turn next.

I’ve got bills to pay, and work to do,
And a family to take care of too.
But it’s all just too much,
And I don’t know how much longer I can take it.

I’m tired, and I’m stressed,
And I just want to scream.
But I know that won’t help anything,
So I just keep on going,
One day at a time.

I hope that one day,
Things will get better.
But until then,
I’ll just keep on trying to stay afloat.

I’m not sure how much longer I can keep this up,
But I’m going to do my best.
Because I know that I have to,
For my family, and for myself.

So I just keep on going,
One day at a time.
