My thoughts and observations of what is and what should be
Are you a parent? Did you have parents? Did someone ever give of themselves toward your betterment in such a way as to change your life? Do you owe anyone for the piece of them they gave, just for you? Have you even thought about this? Should you do something about it? Do you need a push in the right direction? Well this is what I have come up with, so far. As time rolls on, the memories start Continue Reading...
This man I know trudges along on his lonesome crusade It seems at every turn there's evidence, again betrayed He made up for lost time once he figured out what he'd do He's an older gent or I'd say you might know him too The guy beats on, dim-witted maybe, cuz nothing stops him Rising from the hollow, forward despite the forecast so grim Out there limping all alone he looks around just so he Continue Reading...
It was you I came to see, I chose this to do with my day In tears, I left, just how much do these troubles weigh Tone, I can handle some, but I tripped over the string, The slim grasp of matter from where the words you sling Love is hard sometimes, but it's always better than the dark Where the evil dwell, taking aim to hit their mark I can't put myself in your skin, in kindness I visit each Continue Reading...
I don’t need science to tell me that meditation repairs brain matter Just bow your head and talk to Him, void of all the societal chatter See, there are places all around you can find a spot filled in silence Here, at least for now, my walk and talk with Jesus, is my license Go to some quiet place, exhale, bow in reverence, and just pray List every little thing you are Continue Reading...
I waded through the layers that separated the you from me I peered into the depths of darkness in the place of we I gave benefits despite the doubt, everything was all I tried It was the answer missing that dropped me to the floor, I cried Pains ran in every direction from my heart, it hurt in every limb How was it that the known wasn't a better choice than the him The surface is calm but I Continue Reading...

Well, it's December 6th. Another December date that I remember a loved one on their birthday. I have so many friends and family with birthdays in December. This morning though, I remember my Aunt Janette. Below, I have shared a poem that I wrote in honor of my aunt. She was a beautiful person, inside and out. I was fortunate enough to have a relationship with her right from the time I was born. Continue Reading...
Sometimes I travel just to pass through an area, but many times I travel to a spot just to let it pass through me. Continue Reading...
Hair of gold runs away from that perfect smile Don’t mind me if I just grin and stare awhile Lips so soft and full, they call out to me Those are taken, we vowed, don’t you see Cool to the touch, your shoulders I touch Close to you, time spent, never too much Your hands reach for nobody else, just to yours That, I am, your touch the greatest of all cures Oh save that smile Continue Reading...
Often times, as I stroll through the quiet, God created, wild places, I find myself praying, if not, talking with my Lord. In those moments, the balance of life, my peace of mind, and feeling of blessed assurance is mine; mine alone. It reminds me of the truths found in words to a song I remember singing in church...
