True love
True love comes with self acceptance and responsibility, and is only dispensed to us from us. We are the magic we so desperately seek. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023

Writing and sharing is my passion. I like to explore life through poetry and share my take on life's endless highs and lows.
Seasons
Life isn’t linear, it’s cyclical. There is a season for each of us. We have to honour each season as they unfold and remember that nothing, including us remains the same. We are always in transition. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Focused
We have to focus less on the idea of permanence and more on how we can become more altruistic and caring. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Focus on Being
Focusing on what could have been, instead of what is, is an adventure in futility. We have to focus on who we have become in spite of the disparities in our lives. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Excuse
If we make excuses for people who commit heinous acts do we consider ourselves pious or is it because we too carry the same despicable seeds? We reveal our character through the choices we make. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Situation
Every situation we encounter gives us remedial tools. What happens isn’t of significance. It is how we manage the storm that matters. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Separate
If we can’t separate truth from fiction, how can we distinguish love from infamy. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Participant
As a participant in the feast we can’t feign innocence. Hands are washed before gorging, not after as a form of absolution. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Reconnecting
We have to reconnect with who we truly are, not the brainwashed, fear driven, scared individual we were molded to be. The same power that powers the winds, the seas, rivers, streams and trees resides in us. We have to return to our essence, the manifestation of all that is good. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
Forgiveness
Instead of expecting others to offer forgiveness we have to ask ourselves what our motive is before acting on our impulses. We can only have expectations of ourselves, and we ought not to use religion as a shield. We have to think on everything we say and do. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2023
