Another Gone

The dragon devoured yet another today. Another senseless death. It indescrimately devours mothers fathers Sisters brothers. It leaves orphans behind It doesn’t care. We feed it more everyday. Eating, gorging itself on our loved ones. Will it ever stop? Is there ever to be an end? Can anyone resist? Rarely, though we seem to canonizeContinue reading “Another Gone”

Not Ok.

You do know it’s ok? But I’m not ok. That’s ok too. Sometimes the days are too long and we have trouble filling them with things that fill us. If you are not ok (and that’s totally fine – I’ve been there.) please reach out for help. The holidays are a difficult time of yearContinue reading “Not Ok.”

God’s Artwork

You paint the colors of the sky Fall’s best finery Comes into view As sun arises Another day for prayer.

Vengeance is not Mine

I could have hit you from behind A slight bump and You would fall You would be angry Maybe get off your motorcycle and come looking For a fight You would see me then Recognition would dawn in your eyes You would feel fear I could take my foot from The brake Run you overContinue reading “Vengeance is not Mine”

What will I do? Worry worry worry away the whole day through! Perfectionism isn’t perfect How can you say? Perfectionism isContinue reading “Perfectionism Is Not Perfect”

Trying

I’m glad to see the backside Of this most trying day! The people drove me crazy, A short drive, they would say! The day was difficult enough To make me pull my hair. I pushed and panted through it, By the end I think I scared! Lots of little children, Playing with tiny toys. Let’sContinue reading “Trying”

I Walked Along a Winding Road

I walk along the winding road I cannot see the end This road is like my life, I think, I can’t see ’round the bend. Life is like that winding road, All valleys, rocks, and hills. Who are we to know the path That leads ’round the wondering rills? Some day our roads will comeContinue reading “I Walked Along a Winding Road”
