I Pray For Your Hands...
I pray you walk side by side. No one leads. No one follows. Fingers entwined, your lives laced together forever.
I pray your hands are always kind and gentle. Fingers running through her hair, caressing her face as you look deeply into her eyes and listen with your heart.
I pray your hands are there for her to lean on when she is feeling uncertain.
To support her, and be her strength when she is weak.
I pray your hands are there to pick her up when she falls.
I pray your hands are used to cheer her on, to be her biggest encourager.
...

Bleeding Through the Darkness
In the heart of the forest,
there is a darkness that wraps
itself quietly around me,
allowing me to curl up inside it.
As it comforts me,
color bleeds through the darkness,
pouring out at my feet.
The trees are feeding on my darkness.
The colors soften and rise,
now full of hope and light.
The trees' leaves show off the
transfusion they received,
for all to enjoy.

Little Man, Where has your hand gone
Little Man, where has your hand gone?
That small hand slipped into mine
as we walked together.
That small hand gently placed on my cheek
as you look into my face with love and concern.
That small hand laid upon my head
as you prayed for me.
Little Man, where have you gone?
That small hand got a little bigger and wrote me songs.
That young hand experimented with food
and cooked amazing things for me.
That young hand patted my back
when I hugged you too long.
That young hand packed your things
and drove away in your...

Just a minute...Please
I just want to take a minute to cry,
stop time from flowing by.
*time to be sad or mad
*time to feel or NOT feel
*time to yell or sit in silence
I just want to take a minute to hold you,
and drive away the blue.
*drive away the ache of missing you
*drive away the heaviness of "Life"
*drive away the noise of the outside world
I just want to take a minute to rest
and to sit with your head on my chest.
*to sit close to you
*to sit quietly
*to sit and do nothing together
I just want...
stop time from flowing by.
*time to be sad or mad
*time to feel or NOT feel
*time to yell or sit in silence
I just want to take a minute to hold you,
and drive away the blue.
*drive away the ache of missing you

I just want to take a minute to rest

Silent Fear
Silent Fear
Where do you go
When pushed below?
Buried deep, so deep I thought you were done,
I was sure I had won.
Silent Fear
Where do you hide
When concealed inside?
My heart rate quickens,
My body sickens.
Silent Fear
Exactly when did you start
In my life to play a part?
From nine or ten,
Where did it begin?
Silent Fear
Was it the raised hand...shoe...or belt?
When fear I first felt?
Or the many unkind spoken word,
From my Mother I heard?
Silent...

Why are you YELLING at me
JANICE!!!!
I hear my name yelled from far away.
I immediately stop and look around.
What did I do wrong? I'm working.
I'm always busy. I'm doing exactly what I should be doing.
Why are you YELLING at me?
JANICE!!!!
I hear my name yelled from far away.
So many customers flowing through my area.
They heard it, too. What must they be thinking of me?
SLACKER! LAZY! WORTHLESS EMPLOYEE!
Why are you YELLING at me?
JANICE!!!!
I hear my name yelled from far away.
This time I see you. Do you see me? ...

Family....My loves
I am the tree. I am tall and strong. I have
lived many many years. My branches are
many. My roots are deep.
Life beats within. Life is created. My children
are the new trees. I hold onto them, and
shelter them from storms when they are
small. I share my heart with them.
I see my heart inside them as they become
their own life, and I must let go. They are the
tall ones. The strong ones. The protectors.
Confident. My Breath...My Life

Held by Blackness
Held by blackness
like the black curtain on my window holds out the light
as I pray to sleep just a little bit longer
Held by blackness
like the night sky shuts out the sun's light allowing us
to see the small diamonds scattered like glitter
Held by blackness
like my black clothes cover and hide my shape
providing a blank canvas to decorate
Held by blackness
like my heavy, black blanket that wraps snuggly around me
offering comfort and security
Held by blackness
like my black...

Today...
Today I will PLAY...
because playing with loved ones forms strong bonds.
Today I will HEAR laughter...
as my family plays together.
Today I will relax in the CALMness...
for nothing exist outside my family.
Today I will experience just TODAY...
as tomorrow has enough to experience of it's own, and yesterday can not be changed.
Today I will LOVE and be LOVED...
as I share this day with the ones my Creator has blessed my life with.
Today I will soak up PEACE...
for my loving Creator has it ALL under control. ...
