Why do we always say one day? We are getting serious no more play We will decide to make our dreams come true And do everything we’ve been intending to do! We will have no fear when that day comes Determined, we will pull out all our guns Nothing will stop us this day Not even the desire to have fun and play So, when should we start this day? Monday sounds good I say We prepare and get ready the night before Thinking and planning to walk through that new door Monday comes and

Have you ever felt like you’re missing home? A place far away that is not of your own You have a yearning desire deep down inside To be home with your maker where you permanently reside It’s like there are memories buried deep inside To stir your heart and make you wise Like little seeds he planted so deep So, in your heart they will keep Sprouting small memories like little blooms Oh, how I want to be home soon All the immense treasures from Heaven above Are buried in these

We all have demons deep inside In our deep crevices they will hide We block the roads that lead to these dark places Hoping we will never see their ugly faces But tragedy strikes and we have a loss Heartaches, troubles, a life with no cause These Demons slowly escape Taking over our minds landscape They slowly go from limb to limb Taking over our body, there is no end They save our heart for last Devouring it slowly and making the hurt last Our heart slowly breaks and becomes

Have you ever really looked into a person’s face? The lines and features that time has placed They tell a story that can never be erased The lines, the curves, and textures weave a story A life filled with happiness, hurts, or worries They all may hold secrets deep inside But on the face their stories reside Those pesky crow’s feet, how they make me mad But then I think of all my laughing and it makes me glad The deep lines between my eyes, oh how I despise! But then I realiz

Isn’t it a beautiful site? As Mother Nature removes the blanket of fall into the night She replaces it with a silvery snow That sparkles bright with diamonds that glow The swirling colors of fall will disappear Replaced by light bouncing on the snow and through the air Creating a kaleidoscope of colors for show A portrait as beautiful as a Van Gogh The crystals of ice that hang from the trees Decorate it from its roots to its leaves As the light shines through the tree branch

Life can be hard in this world that we know When the storm hits, struggles and hurts it will blow When the wind kicks up and has an unruly flow There are two seeds I will choose to sow So, when the wind blows these seeds around They will scatter and dig deep into the ground My seeds are hope and laughter that I sow They can change your life and make you grow And to our souls they so matter Life looks a little brighter Our heavy hearts a little lighter The first is hope and ho

Why is it so important to have hope? With such uncertain times that we face and the uncertainty of what will happen to our future with all the turmoil going on in the world right now, it’s sometimes hard to have hope. Hope is not pretending that troubles don’t exist or that hurts and difficulties won’t happen. What hope does is make a tough situation more bearable but also can eventually improve our lives by motivating us to take steps in the right direction. Whether you beli

As I walk down this long lane I see a row of trees swaying in the wind And look far in the distance and see a lonely tree at the end I thought about life as I thought about the trees How we bend and sway to the breeze But the lonely tree at the end did not move to the wind I thought that small little tree at the end Is not as beautiful as the tree I saw blowing in the wind I wanted to stay in the moment of the first trees Admiring their beauty and the leaves Why should I walk

When I lay my head on my bed at night My thoughts start to run and there is no sleep in sight Worries and anxieties throughout the day Slowly creep in and start to dance and play Oh, how I just want to sleep and rest But my mind has other intentions that are not always for my best So, I pray to the lord above to give me peace  To silence this powerful and unruly beast He looks at me with the most loving smile And says let go of your worries and rest my child I am the lord
