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
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”
The Strom
Lightning is a scary sight, when you watch it strike with furry.It’s thunder gave me a fright, while my eye’s became blurry.Too long did the clouds hover, with feelings of doom.Its shadows had me covered, never to return back to you.Until one small moment appeared, when the light glistened.All my fear disappeared, and I satContinue reading “The Strom”
Play the Movie back
Play the movie backwhen you’re discouraged.Rewind the pastand find your courage.Hidden within the scenes,a shadow is cast.A spot light on your dreamsforeshadows your future facts.Remember the journeyand follow the clues.To find you are made holy,life lives inside you.Play the movie backwhen your confused,Rewind the pastFor all that made you, you;Let it remind you,that this isContinue reading “Play the Movie back”
For the First Time.
For the first time I wanted to chuck something at the wall.For the first time I couldn’t stand tall.Yet, For the first time I knew what I liked.For the first time I was filled with delight.For the first time I knew that fear made me a slave.don’t fear, freedom is already paved.I have a wayContinue reading “For the First Time.”
