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

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...

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?

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?

So many customers flowing through my area.
They heard it, too. What must they be thinking of me?
SLACKER! LAZY! WORTHLESS EMPLOYEE!

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

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. ...

One Day....
One day...
One day all of our troubles will be no more
One day those too BIG obstacles will become sand beneath our feet
One day every tear will be wiped from our eyes
One day we can trade in our sorrows for everlasting joy
One day we can exchange our not so perfect bodies for perfect ones
One day all of those aches and pains will not exist
One day we can throw away every clock we own
One day we will have all the time we need to do all those things we enjoy doing, or want to do
One day...
