Stop Finding Fault

Stop Finding Fault
Why do we point with fingers so fast,
Marking the failures, the shadows they cast?
Speaking of flaws with a sharp, bitter tongue,
Yet offering nothing where hope might have sprung.
Critique is easy; it falls like the rain,
Drowning in judgment, dismissing the pain.
We build up no bridges, just walls high and strong,
Singing the chorus of all that is wrong.
But what if we shifted, what if we tried,
To water the seeds instead of deride?
What if instead of a cold, bitter gaze,
We offered a lantern to brighten the haze?

Common Courtesy

Common Courtesy
In a world so vast where voices race,
Where hurried footsteps steal their place,
Where screens glow bright, yet hearts seem dim,
A simple act can change the grim.
Not grand displays nor gilded gifts,
But words and deeds that give a lift—
A door held wide, a smile sincere,
A listening ear that calms a tear.
The Gentle Art of Giving Grace
Not bound by wealth, nor time, nor place,
It costs no coin to pause, to see,
To honor one’s humanity.
A nod, a wave, a soft “thank you,”
A patient pause in a bustling queue,
A moment lent, a kindness sown,
A bridge unburned, a seed well-grown.

The Power of the Compliment
"You are the Best" - Bahamas AI Art

The Power of the Compliment
A whisper light as morning air,
A kindness given unaware,
A spark that lifts a weary soul,
A thread that mends, restores the whole.
With just a word—a simple phrase—
The darkest night ignites with blaze.
The Lift of Light
A compliment, so pure, so bright,
Can turn the gray to golden light.
A hesitant heart, unsure, confined,
Now soars as warmth and love entwine.
A child who doubts their worth, their way,
Is changed by words that brightly say:
"You're strong, you're kind, you're meant to shine—"
A gift of truth, a tie divine.
The artist, weary, drained, undone,
Sees no worth in what they’ve spun,
Until a voice, sincere, affirms:
"Your hands weave dreams, your heart still burns."
The lonely soul, unseen, ignored,
Finds solace in a phrase adored:
"I see you there, you're not alone—"
And suddenly, the world has shone.
From stranger’s lips or friend’s embrace,
A word can heal, can re-erase
The scars of doubt, the wounds unseen,
Transforming days from dull to keen.
For words have weight, yet float with grace,
And lift us up through time and space.

Weigh the Balance

This poem underscores the weight of moral choices, the consequences of wrongdoing, and the enduring value of integrity.
Weigh the Balance
Upon life’s scale, a choice must lie,
A path of truth or web of lie.
A fleeting gain, a hollow prize,
Or honor bright in honest eyes.
The whispers call, the shadows creep,
Temptation stirs in caverns deep.
A shortcut paved with tarnished gold,
A deed once done, a soul once sold.
A moment’s thrill, a grasp for more,
Yet chains await behind that door.
A job undone, a name disgraced,
A future burned, a past erased.

This poem captures the journey of overcoming fear to achieve success, greatness, and recognition.
Get Past Fear
Fear stands tall like a mountain steep,
A shadow that lingers, dark and deep.
It whispers doubts in a trembling voice,
Telling you failure is your only choice.
But do not listen—its words deceive,
Its chains are false; do not believe.
For fear is smoke, a fleeting haze,
Designed to trap you in endless maze.

It’s Time to Grow Up
"Maturity" - Bahamas AI Art
©A. Derek Catalano
It’s Time to Grow Up
When will we learn that life's not a game,
That pointing fingers yields only shame?
The years march on; the clock won't wait,
Yet some still linger in a childish state.
It's time to grow up, to stand tall, to own,
The seeds of maturity we’ve left unsown.
The world is a mirror; it reflects what we give,
It’s time to be better, to learn how to live.
No more tantrums disguised as debate,
No more grudges we nurse out of hate.
Put down the mask of pettiness worn,
The path to wisdom starts when it’s torn.
