Alive and kicking :)

Yes I am in many ways still myself today
Woman, Mother, Wife and Child...

I have faltered, I have stood
I have done the best I could
In every aspect on my weary road
I have trudged on with my often heavy load

Yet he stands beside me sound
I know that in him peace is found
no matter how the weather turns the sky
upon his wings I know that I can fly

I can soar to height unknown
certain I am not alone
for he who made me
chose to love me still
not one second, is without his will

and though sometimes I may stray
going off this narrow way
I have no doubt he waits for my return
confident that in my faults I'll learn

So I stand with peace of heart
knowing we are not apart
filled with love that man cannot provide...
Faith is an extraordinary ride.

ShiningALight...well worth the watch.

The song that I liked most in this concert was “if I could kill a word” …imagine for one moment that we could wipe the word hate from the face of the Earth and with it the feeling. Imagine that we could be as children are before they become tainted by the world around them.  No matter what side of the coin you are on, it is imperative that we begin to see and hear each other. Time is ticking and the longer we as humans fail to be more than what divides us, the greater our divide will become. I firmly believe there is no harm in treating others the way we wish to be treated. After all if we are true to ourselves we cannot deny that we merely wish to be treated with fairness and respect.

To France...

Again I sit in silence aware
again I am shaken as I shed a tear
each for the broken as well as the lost
for anger has surfaced and dreadful the cost

Again I am wounded by actions of hate
staring in silence, hours too late
baffled by what has become common place
what's happen to our human race?

We seek out our difference and never our same
we shatter our beauty and deflect our blame
love is no loner the state that we seek
our hatred has risen to its highest peek

Again I am down on my knee
worried by what will be
tomorrow is screaming today
with flowers and candles we pay

Again I am praying with all of my heart
that though we are plenty and oceans apart
we'll seek you oh Lord in our pain
and you will restore us again.

There would be

There would be silence, if mind was still

there would be peace, if there was will

yet all that lingers are doubts within thought

for everything one could and ought

Each year does trickle by seconds unseen

fading in darkness of unending dream

motions the turning of time

most without reason or rhyme

There could be fortune if coin did not measure

but rather by family and laughter our treasure

prosperity grown without greed

with faith and compassion our seeds

There might be solace if he did not linger

tempting the spirit to posture by finger

a world without anger or hate

I wonder if it’s now too late…

There might be marvel within every turn

If much like our children, from heart we would learn

A pastime of wonder by sight

Where hope is our stronghold at night

There might be acceptance, if judgment would die

And for all our failings we simply would try

For we cannot mold man from clay

and God will address all one day

I would not be foolish if I had the mind

to seek not these blessings of which I can't find

I would not be weary if I would relent

accepting what is, in content

But no I must linger and grope in the dark

for any small proof of a wondrous spark

wishing and hoping this world still had heart

far from the failings of start, with virtuous truth to impart.

meaning?

I was asked what I thought the meaning of life is and to be honest I have no clue. I only know that we are here for a reason and only God knows what that is, our job is to do the best we can in the time we are given.

I sit
I breathe
I am
I believe

I laugh
I cry
I live
I'll die

I'm still
in thought
I'm lost
I've fought

I doubt
I dare
I struggle
I care

I fade
I glow
I wither
I grow

I break
I mend
I wont pretend
life is...
and I endure
God's great
of that I'm sure.

New to me...

I watched silently as the world celebrated the final moments of 2014 and nothing...not a glimmer nor a spark. 2014 had been the year of loss and reflection and now I stood, atop another. I found myself filled with uncertainty and skepticism, diminishing the fresh anticipation of 2015. So as I reflect in the twinkle of this new year on my solemn departure from the old, this is my resolution...

If it be thy will oh Lord,
lead me with thy great accord,
in each step I have to take...
for me and for my loved ones sake.
Hold me closely to your heart
till we can't be told apart,
let my light shine from your flame
and to my loved ones, do the same
for though we are but specks on Earth
with you oh Lord we'll find our worth.

Amen

My Wish this season

Another year has managed to slip by and here we are again, on the skirt tail of a new one. Standing in the hue of Christmas lights, the shadow of hope, the sparkle of dreams and wishing for what ever our hearts hold dear. For me my wishes are simple; may everyone find themselves cloaked in the love of God and family and dream as vast as the night sky because with faith and love the possibilities are endless.

Merry Christmas World!
