Bright Side

Bright Side

By Tione Thrift

Keep your smile from turning into a frown

So don’t be sad, don’t feel down

Even if you have to take a match and make your own spark

There is always a bright side in the dark

When you’re happy you’re at your best

With a smile on your face you can pass any test

Don’t wait for tomorrow, this is your day

There’s no better time to start than today

From the month of January to the month of December

Just sit back and always remember

Things will be ok in the end

Just remember that you always have a friend

A Beautiful Gift

                                                                         A Beautiful Gift                      

                                                                            by Tione Thrift

                                                  You're a beautiful gift from God, this I know

Your beauty can melt away snow

Whatever you do in life I know you will succeed

I know you can accomplish anything, yes indeed

You’re a beautiful gift from God, you know it’s true

I can see it every time I look at you

You’re also beautiful in your heart and that’s rare

People should always treat you with care

You’re a beautiful gift from God, I say as I close

You’re a beautiful gift from God, as beautiful as a lovely rose



I would like to dedicate this to all of the ladies that I know and to the ones that I may not know.  You are all wonderful. 

The Perfect Wish.

The Perfect Wish

By Tione Thrift

True beauty, a wonderful sight

The stars that shine in the moon lit night

So close, but still so far

So rare to see a beautiful shooting star

If I had a free wish, I’d give it to you

When you came into my life my wish came true

One Day I'll find my first girlfriend.

Fate

Fate

By Tione Thrift

Whether you’re near or far

I don't know who you are

I don’t know when I’ll meet you

Maybe I already have under the sky so blue

One day I’ll look into your lovely eyes

And know that you’re more precious than the stars in all the skies

One day I’ll find you, the woman so great

Not by luck, but by fate

If it’s meant to be then it will be

Just know that you’ll be very important to me

Don't Neglect, Respect

Don’t Neglect, Respect

By Tione Thrift

Don’t harm her, don’t abuse

Don’t cheat; her heart is not something you can use

Treat her right, whether it’s a wife or girlfriend

Treat her with respect even if the relationship comes to an end

Stop playing around, this isn’t a game

There is more to care about than fortune and fame

Whether you’re married or not, don’t neglect

Whether you’re dating or not, all ladies should be treated with respect

Stop the madness, stop the mayhem

Please respect, please respect them

It’s not that you can’t, because you know you can

It’s time to stand up and be a man

So let her know that you care

Let her know that she’s your lady fair

Whether she’s a friend, mom, or wife

She’s the most precious person in your life

A Wonderful Person

A Wonderful Person

By Tione Thrift

So lovely, so true

So majestic like the ocean blue

A friend you cannot hate

Great things will soon be her fate

More precious than a diamond ring

More noble than a Queen and King

She truly cares about the World

That is why she is the most beautiful girl

A pure and gentle heart

Very intelligent, very smart

When things seem down, her gift of joy she will use

A gentle woman, a lovely muse

If help is needed just give her a call

She’s a wonderful person, all in all

Not Alone

Sometimes you may feel alone and it's hard.  You just try to be yourself and people think you are weird because of it.  Never truly understanding you just because you're always nice to others.  I've learned that not everyone will be your friend, but don't worry.  It's not worth changing yourself just to make others accept you.  If people can't accept you then you don't need them.  Just remember the true people who matter.  Just remember the people that you make happy by being yourself. They make you happy also.  Just remember that even when you feel like you're alone, you're not.  You have people in your life that really care. Feel free to check out my poem.

Not Alone

By Tione thrift

Whether with friends or on your own

Sometimes it feels like you’re alone

Like a mystery with no clue

You don’t know what to do

It’s hard when everything feels bad

Feeling alone can make you sad

Just remember your true friends

They’ll always be there until the end

Remember your family at home

Just remember you’re never alone

The help of a friend

Remember to never give up.  It's not over. Things may seem to not go your way and you just feel like you want to give up.  It's hard for people to handle some things, but always remember that you have friends who will be there to help you face whatever challenge that lies in your way.  Never say never, there's nothing that you can't achieve if you put your mind to it.  Just remember to always work hard and keep on trying.  There will always be road blocks and there will always be detours to tempt people to take the easy way out.  Just remember your true friends when you are going through something in your life when things may be getting a little hard.  To all of my friends, no matter what you are going through, just remember that you have people out there that really cares about you and will do anything to help.   With the people in my life, friends and family, I feel as if I can never give up.  With them, I feel like the richest person in the world and I'm very lucky to have such wonderful people in my life.  Feel free to read this poem that I wrote.

The Help of a Friend

By Tione Thrift

The help of a friend isn’t rare

The help of a friend shows that they really care

Just remember who your real friends are

It doesn’t matter if they are rich or drive a fancy car

They give you a gift that money can never buy

True friendship is golden, like the sun in the sky

There’s no catch, they mean no harm in any way

They can always manage to brighten your day

Just when the clouds start to form over your head

A friend will make the sun come out instead

They know how to make you laugh when you’re mad

They know how to make you happy when you’re sad

Just when you think it will come to an end

It can all change with the help of a friend

Stay positive and patient.

There's someone out there for you.  It may take a while to realize it, but there is someone out there for you.  Sometimes you wish someone would just give you a chance, but no one does.  But one day someone will give you a chance it may not happen tomorrow, but it will happen soon.  Just keep on thinking positive and keep your head up.  Until you find that someone just remember your friends.  They can help you when no one else can.  They're always good for advice and you can talk to them always.  It might feel hard at times when you think that no one likes you.  I do know that feeling.  It couldn't be father from the truth though.  There are family and true friends that like you for who you are and happy to be around you.  That means that one day they'll be someone who likes you also and will be happy to be around you always.  One day I'll find my first girlfriend, someone who likes me for me and happy to be around me.  One day, you'll find someone, you just can't give up.  Stay positive and be patient.  Just keep a smile on your face and keep on being yourself.  Keep your head up, it will all work out in the end. Just remember there's a bright side to everything.

No more bad dreams

We've all had our fair share of bad dreams every once in a while.  Sometimes you wake up and feel as if what happend was real.  Dreams can seem all to real, but just remember they can't hurt you.  I wish I could take all the bad dreams away and instead replace them with nothing but wonderful dreams.  Dreams that would inspire everyone to acheive what they are capable of.  Dreams that are wonderful and filled with happiness.  No more bad dreams.  Here's a poem I wrote a few days ago.

Wipe away each tear, there's nothing to fear

Say goodbye, those bad dreams are about to fly

Never again to return to give you a nightmare

Never again to hurt you, not on a dare

You deserve to dream about the stars in the sky

Like you they are so wonderful and lovely to each eye

The sun begins to smile as it begins each day

No more nightmares, they have all gone away

Thank you

There are important people in your life.  Sometimes it's hard for us to realize this, but there are people who really do care.  If I could, I'd make sure that no one went through anything that would make them feel depressed or sad.  Even though I can't, what I can do is let them know that they have a friend who cares and will always be there for them.  I myself used to get sad when somethings didn't work out right. You may still feel sad at times, but you have to move on, no matter how much it hurts.  I'm the type that tries to be friendly to everyone and treat others how I want to be treated.  Not everyone will respond to you or treat you the way you treat them.  Some of them don't want to be friends.  They can talk about you behind your back or they can treat you like you don't exist no matter how many times you say hello or ask how they are doing.  The ones that matter are the ones who treat you the way that you want to be treated.  The ones that matter are the people in your life who can put a smile on your face when you're feeling blue.  The ones that matter are the poeple who will give you a helping hand to pick you up when you're down.  The ones that matter are the people who are true and can accept you for who you are. The ones that matter treat you with respect.  I used to worry about not having a girlfriend. I'm coming up my 21st birthday and I've been single since the day I was born.  I can't worry about that though.  There are important people that would help me cheer up when I felt sad that something didn't work out.  I just want to say  thank you for helping me and for caring.  You were always there for me when I was worried because something didn't work out.  I promise I'll try my best to always be there for you all.  I know I'll find my first girlfriend soon, but that's not important right now.  What's important though, is the people in my life who make me glad to be Tione Thrift.  To my family, friends in Montevallo and the great friends I have in Tuscaloosa, thank you.

Smiling

A smile can truly lighten up your day.  You be off to a bad start in the morning or it hasn't been the best week so far, so you just feel depressed and sad.  All it takes is a smile to make things better.  It could be someone who is always smiling, perky, and encouraging you to smile and be cheerful.  It can be someone at work who may notice that you're not having a good day, so they print you out smiling faces to carry with you so that you can always have a smile on hand.  Just remember that your smile has the potential to brighten and change the course of someone's day.  That is truly magnificent.  Feel free to check out this poem that I wrote a while back.  I thought it was go nice with today's topic.

Smiling

Smiling, so majestic like the sun shining bright

No more darkness as the sky is filled with light

A smile full of happiness, joy, and glee

 A lovely smile as far as the eye can see

In a world where it is hard to make a new friend

A smile can light the way until the end

A new trend, a new style

Just remember to always smile your lovely smile

A hug from a friend is magnificent.

Sometimes there are days were you just don't know what to do.  It feels like things are going right, but at the blink of an eye everything starts to fall apart. All of a sudden, you feel alone and you wonder if anyone really does care.  Then a true friend comes along and gives you a gift that is so amazing, so marvelous, so magnificent.  A Hug.  Feel free to check out this poem that I just wrote for this.  Just remember there are people who care about you.  The true ones are priceless and I know that I wouldn't trade any of the great people in my life for anything in the world. 

Nothing more magnificent than a hug from a friend

The sincerity of a hug will never end

It shows companionship and love

A sign of peace, like the symbol of a dove

Golden like the sunshine of May

A potion that brightens up any bad day

A hug can bring a smile to anyone, young or old

Magnificent, a hug is priceless, worth more gold

Magnificent

Sometimes there are events in our lives that maybe make us second guess where things are headed.  People start to feel down and depressed, but it's not over.  Life sometimes throws us a curveball, but it's not three strikes and you're out.  There's a brightside to everything.  Sure you may get a strike, or hit a foul ball, but pretty soon you'll hit a home run out of the ball park, and it will be something magnificent.  Feel free to check out this poem that I wrote.



Magnificent

"So what is it? A gentle breeze is in the air

Everyone can't help but stare

So bright it starts to shine

We stare at something nice, something fine

The beauty of the light

The Sun shining bright

Standing in harmony we stare at that magnificent glow

The sight of a lovely rainbow"
