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

Just Time
It’s just a matter of time…. Which we think we don’t have Because our mates are getting married Others a bagging degrees Some others have started their own businesses. But who is counting?

WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE?
Why do fools fall in love? In the wake of day all they see is defeat, Cradling their faces and making a mockery of their emotions, Why do fools fall in love? Were lessons not learned from past experiences? Yet they picked up the left-overs of their broken hearts and gave them to another, Why…… Continue reading WHY DO FOOLS FALL IN LOVE?
