Not everyday is a good day and, That’s okay. How do you rise when you haven’t fallen? You win some, you loose some and, That’s okay. Not everyone will love you. And even those that love you do so for a reason and, That’s okay. Baby! Loving yourself is the best kind. People will not…… Continue reading That’s Okay

Until Death
Now is now, with you.But until death do you realize my worth.Until death the scales fall from your eyes and suddenly I was good, holy and saintly.Here and now, no attention paid, arguably the monster in your nightmares.But until death, I will be the best thing that ever happened to you, an angel.The so called…… Continue reading Until Death
I lost my love to love ❤️
I lost my love to loveApparently my love was not enoughNot what she neededThough I gave my best.I lost my love to love;My arms couldn’t give her that kind of comfort.My eyes couldn’t make that connection.So I lost my love to love.She took away a piece of my heart.But that’s okay.Glad she is in a…… Continue reading I lost my love to love ❤️
STAY WITH ME
Stay with me on this side On this side you are safe from the worlds vile The clutch of sin and grave I will keep you safe Staying on my side Though the waters be troubled, In me you have an anchor Be still and know Stay with me, trust and obey. Not as a…… Continue reading STAY WITH ME
Quiet Library
Quiet library,Long itinerary,but I may leave before those who came before me, The loud silence calms me, The occasional muffled noises let me know this can’t be a cemeteryThe sound of the music coming from the earphones of the one next to me,A brief bout of laughter,Then silence again,The heavy set smell of the dust-collecting…… Continue reading Quiet Library

If we could laugh our hardest. Cry when we ought to. Say exactly how we feel, Not act like we have everything figured…… Continue reading RANDOM
LEFT THE 99
Almost dangerously carved with guilt, My own humiliation runs deep, blood, Stained the walls of my heart, Because He left the 99 and came after me, To rescue me with His grace and love, Incomparable, Undeserving, Incomprehensible love of God, That holds me close, He left the 99 even though I was one problem, Cradled…… Continue reading LEFT THE 99
IN THE ER
When I sat here last night it was pitch black, In the waiting room of your presence, fear was no respecter of me, They asked me what I was looking for, I said hope, They asked me what I was fighting for, I said peace of mind, A believer and here I was, marching to…… Continue reading IN THE ER
THE GREATEST LOVE STORY
God’s gift to the world, and not His only one, Jesus Christ, born to a woman who before the announcement of his conception, Did not know she was carrying her own Saviour in her belly, He would go on to endure a kind of torture that even a sinner would avoid, Being blameless, white as…… Continue reading THE GREATEST LOVE STORY
OH DEER
Pretty lies, pretty eyes but pretty scared, like a deer caught in the headlights, I knew my time had come, I was falling in love with an image of you, a song of you run miles intertwined in my mind, your imperfections could not stop me, they only helped me to see through your perfect,…… Continue reading OH DEER
