Pain is a fickel thing

Pain is a fickle thing, You will never be sure,What it will do to you. Pain is a burden to bear.You will never know when,You’ll crumble in its care. Pain is a fickle thing,You will never be sure,How long it will follow you. R.D.Jess

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”

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 Cost

I’ve counted the cost of following youI’ve counted and counted, and I know what to do.You are worth every cent I left. I’ve counted and counted and I know you are what’s best.You knew the price on my name.and you counted it and counted it and still came after me. R.D. Jess

Silently Scream

She let’s out a silent scream. How can that be?Carefully she proceeds,just trying to breathe.She dries her own eyes,and says she’s fine.because they don’t see,They say it’s a lie.But believe me,She’s tried.That’s why she silently cries.If her silence makes you wonder why?She will tell you why she’s not fine.you’ll tell her how to be.Your wordsContinue reading “Silently Scream”

Stay/Go

Often I think to myself, “Should I stay or should I go?” Can I stand tall or hold myself together at all? The constant pressure leaves a shaky soul. Every step creaks and threatens to shatter all. Hold it together. HOLD IT TOGETHER! Maybe repeated words would make it better. I am torn between two.Continue reading “Stay/Go”
