Trust In Him

Drink it up, soak it in.

Where life begins, where life ends.

Don't be afraid of the great unknown

God's forever on His throne.

So lift your face to Heav'n above,

always basking in His love.

Peace He gives, Peace He brings,

try and not worry 'bout anything.

For God is with us from beginning to end,

all my trust I place in Him.

"Miracle" by Christian Artist Darlene Zschech

MIRACLE

Never give up, never give in

Never look back

C'mon now my friend

You're not alone

The hope of tomorrow is calling

There's a brighter day

On the other side

But it's up to you to put back on your stride

So get up, step out, live it

Honey don't you give up

It's time for you to start to breathe again

For the sun and the moon have never stopped

Shining on you my friend

I know you feel the world has passed you by

But the greatness in you is starting to rise

Faded dreams need to be recoloured

I know you've had it bad

But it's time to dream again

Write it down my friend

Make it plain Oh yeah

That desire you hold

It will see the light of day

There's a beautiful day

On the other side

But it's up to you to put back on your stride

So get up, step out, live it

Honey don't you give up

What's it gonna take for you to see

That it's only the grace of God

That will set you free

What's it gonna take for you to

Open up your eyes

Look beyond the skies

Faded dreams need to be recoloured

I know you've had it bad

But it's time to live again

Write it down my friend

Make it plain oh Yeh

That desire you hold

It will see the light of day

Never, never, no never give up

Time to breathe again

Time to dream again

This desire you hold

It will see the light of lay

Never give up, never give in

Never look backC'mon now my friend

You're not alone

The hope of tomorrow is calling

Sunset

Sunset

At dawn, I waited patiently on the Eastern shore,

and felt the sea spray on my face, hoping.

But, you never came.

At noon, I looked for you with shaded eyes

and a heart full of love, beyond the blue horizon, praying.

But nothing

At dusk, with heavy heart like the sinking sun that settles in the West

over the ocean waves, it came to me.

You would not come now, or ever.

At night, as clouds veiled the quartermoon with darkness,

it was then I realized with great sadness

what could have been was gone now and forever.

Beautiful Thought

What greater thing is there for two souls, than to feel that they are joined for life-to strenghthen each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting..




by George Eliot

HAPPY EASTER!

HE IS RISEN!

HAPPY EASTER!

BELOVED

Beloved

Don't punish me for loving you,

for such cannot be helped.

Don't be angry or abuse me,

for a torment Fate has dealt.

I'm at the Hands of Mercy,

no other will ever do.

My heart sold out, betrayed me,

that someone, Love, is you!

Say you spare me from the anguish,

protect me from the grief?

But I say it's far too late,

our love was far too brief.

For I loved you before this disease,

I loved you from the start.

And now is such a cruel time

to break my heart apart.

Don't punish me for loving you,

by pushing me away.

Just hold me tightly in your arms,

and forever with me stay.

LOST GIFT OF TIME - HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELISSA

For those of you who know me personally, you know what a tragedy happened to me over ten years ago. Due to undescribable circumstance, I lost my youngest daughter, Melissa, and my oldest grandson, Jacob, not to death but to TRUTH. There isn't a day that goes by I don't mourn them, yet I've finally learned to smile again, am actually able to look at pictures without the stabbing pain in my heart. Her birthday is March 9th, the same as my Mother's. This original poem, written by me, is dedicated to her. Happy Belated Birthday, Baby!

Gift of Time

I've grown old and weary

in your defeaning absence

waiting for your presence.

And,I am disappointed.

At every turn, and every bend

I hear your voice, see your face

Full of beauty, full of grace.

And, I am reminded.

Often I tremble, my hands shake

Recalling fond memories of you

but always old ones, never new

And, I weep.

My heart is heavy, my eyes tear

when I realize dearest daughter

how much I miss your laughter,

And, our lost gift of time.
