Hope

Bound unable to leave,
Trapped in a failing body,
Only to despise and grief,
Yet in the darkest hour..hope..truly.

A voice that comforts,
A new journey begins,
A voice that carries through the hurt,
Trusting in the word of God that reigns.

Memories

Through all the years gone by,
Memories flood us fondly,
Good times and those we cry,
Never to be traded or be done with.

These made us who we are,
Bittersweet, never to be forgotten,
A life that brought us this far,
Full of such memories we have earned......

Dedicated to LP young adults

In the lives we lead,
The joys, pain and doubts,
Lost to the world within,
Drowned by noise, piercing loud.

Blinded to believe we are alone,
Yet hold on to the road we trust,
For we are who we are,
Because of what HE means to us.

Renew your minds with HIS promise,
Great is our shepherd, our Lord
Mighty is the one whom we call,
Our Father and everlasting God.

Awaiting that special someone.....

Within, it simmered slow as a fire,
Formless, an eternity in the making,
Guided by a hand that never tires,
Imagined as a whole, never forsaking,
Sprinkled with the stuff of kindness,
Peppered with the honor of love,
Layered with a destiny to long,
Patience, chiseled and carved,
A melody that accompanies the song,
To await that special someone,
Trusting in the Lord, till that day comes.

1,2,3,4....

4 words that are timeless,
3 words to the heart,
2 words to a promise,
1 word led from the start.

Christ,
I promise,
To love you,
Rest of my life......

Till the day of promise

In my dreams, do I walk the valley,
Feet on the grass that parts my way,
Sky that shines ever so brightly,
On a hill sits a house of clay,
There always, waits someone surely,
Yet before the door, does my legs fail me,
Recalling that I am not yet done,
Opening my eyes, as I spoke softly,
Till that day comes, 
I shall await that promise.

Sleepless night

Through the window I looked,
Roads empty, quiet night,
Leaned back on my chair as I wrote,
Staring up, not a moon in sight,
Sleep does not stay, try as I might,
Wondering to myself, what verse to say,
But in the end, sleep returns to take me away.
