No time for my tears

There was no time for my tears
At seven years old life changed
Relationships were shattered
Love bonds were broken
~
No one would explain
I guess no one had the words
Each lost in their own pain
~
Angels attended
There was comfort in silence
An unseen presence
~
Many hours to wonder
To feel the deep grief alone
To discover a secret
A love deep within my soul
And a hunger to know more
~
As I grew older
My desire to understand
Grew exponentially
A desire to know
What is this unseen presence
I was hungry to know more
~
Gladness and joy came
In the searching I could see
Love pursuing me
~
Sorrow and sighing
Experienced deep comfort
From the unseen God

Miraculous decisions
December 29, 2009
celebrate
July 5, 2009
This morning I shucked the corn
I stood amazed at each ear
It was all a perfect fit
How did that happen
We will have a good dinner
We will taste how good it is
The taste buds are amazing
How did that happen
The laughter at the table
Will come from the food and love
Family that cares and gives
How did that happen
The little children talking
Running all around the room
Feeling the safety and love
How did that happen
The secret is what matters
A love beyond our thinking
Comes from deep within our lives
How did that happen
We are here to celebrate
The life of one dearly loved
Who is special to us all
Her name is Missy
Missy was born on this day
Just thirty-nine years ago
It was on a Sunday morn
Love entered our life
There is wisdom in a child
Her eyes were large and deep blue
I knew that she was special
Delight to my eyes
My view was transformed
She quickly changed my life here
Giving us pure joy
His love made it happen
