Perfectionism Is Not Perfect

Perfectionism is not perfect. Perfectionism is not kind. Perfectionism will not release me, But cause me to lose my mind. I am caught in a web of good, better, best. What will people say? 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”

Humorous Nonsense of a Cold

I will make my bed On this couch And sink into its Pillowy depths As my nose runs down my face And across the carpet To play with the never-ending hairballs.

It Sucks to be Sick

It sucks to be sick, Here on the couch Sniffling, sneezing Like a tossed away pouch. My head gets to aching And I feel as I’m breaking Spinning, spinning the room goes round Who put me on this merry-go-round? It could be much worse I could be out in the cold Suffering suffering Surrounded byContinue reading “It Sucks to be Sick”

The Huntress

You watch me through my window I am not aware I think I am free, escaped I am not You are always watching Waiting, you stare down at me Biding your time You have learned to be patient And will pounce when I least expect Mauling Devouring Consuming Ah, but you do not know myContinue reading “The Huntress”

A Dream? A Vision?

How much our pope loves Our Lady! How much Our Lady loves our pope! A blinding flash of light! Falling back Sitting in a chair Praying. Alright, everyone! You know I rarely post on Sundays and certainly not at the crack of dawn, but I suddenly woke up (yet didn’t think I was actually asleep!)Continue reading “A Dream? A Vision?”

Breathe

Breath Breath of life Breath of God Breathes life Breathes love Breathes all creatures into living For what are you using your breath? To know, To love, To serve, Who.

One

How high the mountains sweep to the sky… But how low the valleys are to the eye. Swift wind Oh my, how it all flies. And finds me alone, Finds me alone. Finds me alone. I am not alone, I am with the wind so swift, the mountains so high, the valleys so low. IContinue reading “One”

I Have a Friend…

I have a friend Who’s mad at me I have a friend Who can’t wait to see me I have a friend Who is too busy to call right now I have a friend Who’s halfway across the country I have a friend Who loves me no matter what I have a friend I haven’tContinue reading “I Have a Friend…”
