I see the tree, how tall it stands. It's branches reaching, as if with hands. Stretching upward, to reach the place. Where He will free me, from this race. I watch the seasons, rapidly passing. Yet for some reason, not always grasping. He is with me, night and day. Yet I allow life, to block … Continue reading In Strength to Stand

Hurt with a Smile
Smiling on the outside, a broken heart within. With busy hands she fills her days, and holds her feelings in. She prays for God to fix the mess, continuously she makes. Responding to the man she loves, with God's loving grace. Marriage never easy, It has its ups and downs. Our human nature intereferes, causing … Continue reading Hurt with a Smile
Aging Love
Helplessly she lives each day, her husband by her side. Her thoughts of how she used to play, In memories she resides. Her legs no longer hold her, dependant on her care.

Turmoil Within
Always postive, always smiling, kindness all around. Inside broken, confused and silent, emptiness is found. Searching for answers, yearning for comfort, seeking to fulfill. Patience lacking, blindly waiting, for Your graceful will.
Missing My Mom
Thinking of my mother, difficult her life. I see it in old pictures, hearing stories of her strife. Encouraging she was, never letting down. Another’s needs were always first, a caring woman always found. Strong appearances she portrayed, yet hurting deep within. Until the Lord called her home, the angels lead her in. Her time … Continue reading Missing My Mom

Not giving life a second thought, with each step we take. Today is just another day, as soon it too shall end. Our arrogance is that … Continue reading For Granted
My Fear
My fear is not of dying, I know where I will be. My fear is not of poverty, I've been there too you see. My fear is not of loneliness, my God is always there. My fear is not of sacrifice, This is why I care. My fear is growing older, dependant upon another's care. … Continue reading My Fear
Overcome
The hole too deep, the light is dim. To turn away, in pity to swim. The weight too much, to overcome. Too many hurt, to be undone. Forgiveness far, in fear to flee. The cuts to deep, in misery. Vision clearing, through the tears. Bruised and broken, for many years. The light is bright, as … Continue reading Overcome
