I walk into the nursing home, this is what I see. Sweet expectant faces, looking back at me. I take a seat and listen, to what they have so say. So eager for attention, from another lonely day. The outside may be shriveled, most of them can't walk. They're minds remember everything, they love to … Continue reading Old and Forgotten

Help Me Lord
I am growing, yet still feel lost. A mind confused, You bare the cost. To clear my thoughts, focus on Your word, I need Your help, Let Your voice be heard. So much pain, I see it every day. To comprehend, why people are this way. They hurt each other, so much evil on this … Continue reading Help Me Lord
Disappointed
I see the posts, oh how they boast, in the love they have for You. Yet when one is needed, their plates are full, and have no time for You. The writings of, our dear friend Matthew, command that we should love. The discarded ones, the least of these, a love from high above. Instructions … Continue reading Disappointed

An attempt to reign things in, to organize my thoughts. Yet failure once again, requests which now are lost. Frustratingly to … Continue reading Jumbled Prayers
