Poetry Is Motion

My name is Tammara Piper and I have had a love for poetry all of my life. My story begins when I moved to beautiful Colorado, where I was inspired to finally write. Family and friends have always encouraged my writing. I have written about everything in my life that has moved or touched me in some way, friends and family, and in the world itself. I try to see all the beauty in this world, but there is also a lot of pain and sorrow. We all have gone through good times and hard times, but through life experiences that is how we learn and it makes us stronger. I am beginning to learn that it is the simple things of life which are the real ones after all. Life is not the way you always want it to be, but the way you cope with it makes the difference. So enjoy the little things in life, for one day you will look back and realize they were the big things.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right If I surrender to His Will; So that I may be reasonably happy in this life And supremely happy with Him forever and ever in the next.  -Serenity Prayer.
