I remember what was sweet.I remember you and me.Our relationship could not be beat.For it twas sweet.Yet years made me weak.Fighting always to please.It became a game of knowing everything.Perfection became a need.Childlike faith became obsolete. I remember it twas sweet.Please return to me.Find me under the tree.Where we used to meet.God I want to believe,ThatContinue reading “Twas Sweet”

Psalm 77
Will the Lord be favorable again? Or has all of this come to an end? Has your loving kindness ceased its endeavor? Has your promises ended forever? My soul refuses to be comforted. My life feels throated. But I will remember the goodness of the Lord. For he has given me so much more. MyContinue reading “Psalm 77”
When I was scared
When I was scared you held my hand, Until I found the brighter land.When I cried at night,You held me tight.When I thought it was over,You helped me recover.When I was alone,You walked me home.And all of this to say,You heard what I prayed.What a loving God you are.To stay when things get hard.For meContinue reading “When I was scared”
THE GREATEST GIFT
What a gift I’ve been given.The little child wrapped in linen.The babe in a manger,Is no longer a stranger.But the greatest gift I’ve been given,Is for love incarnate to say I’m forgiven. R.D. Jess
HANG THE LIGHTS
Hang the lights on the tree, blinking in a steady stream.sounds of the holiday sings, a little baby dreams.Lattes topped with foam, Carlos sung all the way home.Look past all the fun traditions and all these feel good situations.Christmas is so much more, when you realize you are forgiven and adored.Joy comes when you hangContinue reading “HANG THE LIGHTS”
THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT
The flesh and the spirit have torn me in two.The flesh and the spirit, what should I do?The spring waters my soul,But weeding takes its toll.I long to one day be complete.I long one day to be fully me.It’s a joy to live in obedience.Victory, the missing ingredient.The spirit is willing, but the flesh isContinue reading “THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT”
Narcissist
In the hands of a NarcissistYou will never be yourself.You will need their help, they will insist.Their power could convince oneself,An escape is never enough.You will feel the needTo tell everyone, how you’re not tough.Because you are trapped by the implanted seed.That gave them complete control,Years past the escape.They will still have a tight hold,OnContinue reading “Narcissist”
So Easy to Become Bitter
So easy it is to become bitter. When you’re around those with no-filter. Ugly jokes are never funny, I just played the card of the dummy. When in reality you just hurt me. Building up my insecurity. I wonder why I mocked myself when you’re not around, Then I heard it come from your mouth.Continue reading “So Easy to Become Bitter”
Mourn
It was not easy to say goodbye that day. Even harder since you died that way.I was told to hold it together, Show no emotions for her.I went to church stone faced, All my emotions were misplaced.For years I trudged on without a second thought. Ignorance was how I fought.Till one silent night I laid,Continue reading “Mourn”
Magic in the Air
Magic is in the air.From the ground to the sky.I see it everywhere.I marvel at the sight.My lungs expand,to smell the air once again.I never planned,to feel this again.To be alive after being lost.is like the clouds opening wide.Letting water pour from our lots.Not worried about pride.Yes, magic is in the air.I think I mightContinue reading “Magic in the Air”
