Still, I Will Stand.

Another one of those nights…sleep won’t come,my thoughts keep running. I step outside for air.A cold, windy night.A haze hangs in the dark midnight sky. Somewhere in the distance,a wind chimeso faint,almost too quiet to hear. Tonight, the wind is constant.Constant like the waves.Why do I keep returning to that? A tear gathers in my… Continue reading Still, I Will Stand.

What You Didn’t Know

What you didn’t know,what was never said out loud,is that prayers were spoken,prayers for strength to rise again.You appeared in a time of darkness.And what you didn’t know…is that your presence became air,for someone who was gasping for breath. A fire burningslowly,fiercely,brightly.Embers flying deep into the night,as conversations kept going;smoothly,naturally,effortlessly,as if no time had passed.And… Continue reading What You Didn’t Know

Forever In His Sight

A lifeless bird once fell at my feet. At the same moment, the seeds of a dandelion drifted into the wind… dreams and wishes released with quiet hope, not knowing then that none of them would come true. I never imagined the bird would become a symbol of something deeper within myself… Its feathers scattered… Continue reading Forever In His Sight

Done.

Was it really so much to ask, For you to simply just be there? It should have been a simple task. None of this is fair, There is so much damage, So much that needs repair. Doing it alone was too much to bear. So many nights I cried myself to sleep, While you pretended… Continue reading Done.

I Trust You, Lord.

I will not fear the road ahead, I know you will walk beside me. Even when I am hanging by a thread, Your grace will still remind me. I will not allow my spirit to break, In you I will always find my safety. But what is this ache I cannot escape? And why does… Continue reading I Trust You, Lord.

Autumn, Pumpkin Spice, and Everything Nice🍂🎃☕️

Goodbye to the lazy days of summer, Hello to the busy days of fall, The air will soon begin to feel crisper, As everyone gets excited for football. Students are sitting in their classes, As the teacher begins, while adjusting her glasses. “Open your books, it’s time for a refresher!, Let’s read aloud, one after… Continue reading Autumn, Pumpkin Spice, and Everything Nice🍂🎃☕️

A Dance In The Rain

In bed I lay cuddled in the arms of my love, Listening to the gentle beats of the raindrops, Coming down from the sky above. Rain is always such a peaceful sound, It provides a drink of water for trees and flowers all around. Landing and splashing down onto the tips of the grass, Gently… Continue reading A Dance In The Rain

Catharine Rose

It’s been fifteen years, Since the day you left us, And my eyes still flow with tears. I can still see your face so clearly, You are loved and missed so dearly. I remember you would visit me, At school on grandparents day, We would sit outside and eat our lunches, While watching the occasional… Continue reading Catharine Rose

He’s Everywhere

He’s in the smile of the sweet elderly woman at the grocery store, Don’t you remember? She was the one you met at the door. He’s in the giggle of an infant, How precious a sound! Everywhere you look, He’s all around. Have you seen Him today? Surely you have, He was sitting beside you… Continue reading He’s Everywhere

I Received a Hug From God Tonight

I received a hug from God tonight. It happened to be as I was tucking my son into bed, Wrapping my arms, I hugged him so tight. All while giving him a kiss on the forehead. He laid under the covers looking ever so little, All this week I felt nothing but brittle. My son… Continue reading I Received a Hug From God Tonight
