I’m Sure

Wondering about some things

Wandering through my mind tonight

Will today be better than tomorrow?

Has my future taken another turn

In unexpected ways?

Unknowns call from the mist

But I won’t answer

Life’s curtain hangs beyond

The door of time

Waiting for me to mess up

And miss my miracles

I’m stronger now and  I pray

For help from above

God answers and let’s me know I’ll be okay

The promise is there for me

To hold in my heart

And not throw it away with doubts

He has an eternal plan and I’m sure

There is one especially for me!

The Course of Time

Over the course of time

Some dreams do come true

Life delivers them like a newborn child

Soft, sweet, full of promise

Sheltered in the heart until birth

Waiting, hoping, learning

While watching for the signs

The pains of new life emerging

Stretching our mortal faith

Belonging, knowing, accepting

Fulfillment of the truth

Strengthened by the knowledge

that each moment, each hour, each day

Will bring forth this amazing promise

Which I will call: Miracle

We Had Hope

Walking this Earth in all of it’s beauty

Seeing the miracles unfold everyday makes me grateful

The mama doe and her fawn with Daddy close by

Lionesses protecting her cubs from all enemies

Eagles in flight as they soar to great heights

Waterfalls and forest glens peacefully adding their voices

Daffodils, dandelions, and tulips heralding spring to feed the bees

Robins and doves gathering grass and twigs for their nest

Baby birds eventually flying free to repeat the cycle

Roses on fences display their magnificent beauty and scents

Oh! How wonderful it all is!

To be alive, to be loved, to be a Mom

To awesome kids and Grand-babies

To know the peace of a loving and merciful, Holy Father

To be able to enjoy the bounty He has bestowed on all of us

Yet the ugliest thing arises each day and that is hate

It takes all the joy away and puts contention at the forefront

I want to live in my world of blessings without harsh word and vulgarity

The way it used to be when we were young and innocent

I know not all was peaches and cream but we had hope

Time seems to be eroding everything away

The beauty of the morning is disappearing into the darkness of night

Only we can change it but first we must want too

Therein is the vast crevice of disconnected souls

Who chose to harden their hearts with unyielding thoughts

The light of wisdom and grace can dispel this

If kindness walks our path with us

Oh to see the beauty of peace in the world gone crazy

Turned upside down with hell winning in the polls of people’s

Disrespect for life and liberty

The pursuing of personal gain overshadowing the needs of others

What a world to pas down to our young ones

God help us to see it’s beauty and to respect it’s being

The Earth will be grateful and we can stop to smell the roses again.

He Chose to Bless

I have not held very much store

In having lots and lots of more

I live my life in ‘make do’ land

And what I have within my hand

I don’t need gold or super wealth

Can’t buy joy, peace, or vibrant health

So living in this pieced together life

Cuts down on useless stress and strife

Sometimes I wonder how I’ll do it though

But then God supplies and let’s me know

He heard my prayers to fill the need

Long before I planted my prayerful seed

I have all I shall ever want for this day

I know I won’t do without in any way

The is no reason to even second guess

I am eternally grateful He chose to bless.

Veil of the Unknown

Shadows of light dance

Just out of view

Straining to see the future

But hindered by the past

What do I expect to see

Beyond this veil of the unknown?

Will I see loss with it’s devastating cries?

Maybe joy at finding love

That was lost long ago

Reaching out into this fog

Memories searching, seeking

But to no avail

Invisible thoughts can’t be held tight

Like a ribbon on a pretty package

The unknown contents beckon

Beyond this veil of time

Maybe it’s better not to know

For only God has the plan

His mysteries are for Him

To unfold, to show, and to give

The light of eternity calls the soul

To come, to explore, to ride

The waves of forever

To not be afraid of grace

As softness caresses the air

Sweet surrender is calling

Just beyond this veil of the unknown.

My Garden of Promise

I found God’s note for me today

Tender words written on pages of white

Promises of renewal and hope

Springing forth as the evening dew

Sweet aromas of love yielding to the heart

Sending into the day

Life giving songs of blessings to come

Surprises like seeds planted in fertile soil

Grow beyond today

Creating the harvest of bounty

We will call our new life.

Touched By Love

The heart does not come alive until it is touched by love. It’s only function is as a pump with which to supply the body with what it needs. But when life brings love to fill it and it begins to beat for others, it finds it’s way. It can be hard as nails but when touched by love it softens and becomes complete. It is pliable in the hands of God. It finds it’s true purpose which is to give life to the giver of that love and the receiver of that love. It chooses that person as it’s own.That is love-to be enjoyed and cherished. This is life-to be fulfilled and wondrously give by God. Romans 8:28 says, And this we know that all things work together for good to those who love God and are called according to His purpose.

We are the Seed

We are the seed that decides the harvest around us. St. Basil said, “A good deed is never lost; He who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.”Galatians 6: 7, 9 says…..For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. and let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. (KJV). My prayer for today is that I sow peace to reap contentment, mercy to reap forgiveness, courage to reap honor, and patience with love to reap eternity in Heaven. Amen

So Dance

FBO 10/12/2019

When the time comes for me to go home

I won’t be here but you won’t be alone

I will walk with you in your forever dreams

I know you will miss me and be lonely it seems

Go on with your life and enjoy it

Don’t drag yourself down with sad regret

I was happy, and loved, and enjoyed life

I was mama, sister, daughter, aunt, friend, and wife

I filled my days here on this wonderful earth

With all my loved ones and friends of great worth

I never got to all the exciting things I wanted too

But in the end I did as much as I could possibly do

I kissed the face of each dear child of mime

Hugged grand-babies much of the time

The great grand-babies then came along

Of course none could do anything wrong

So dance today for you may never know

When it’s last dance and your time to go

Hang on to the cool memories

And smile, laugh, talk, and eat

As you remember me. I love you.

Pages

I guess it is time to watch life turn some pages

Nothing stays the same and life moves on

It’s not content to hover amidst broken dreams

On crinkled paper and faded print

Sentences rewrite themselves

As promises drift away

Hope tries to hang on as best it can

But tires so easily with it’s loss of strength

Believing and doubt walk together on this path

What will the story say on the last page?

With the final line printed for all to read

I know, it will say, “The End” and close the book.
