 H O P E

The mind is a powerful tool

The eyes
The windows to your soul

Hope is a boat
Sailing turbulent seas
Keeping you afloat
Never lose sight of it
Though you think
You cannot
Cope

There is always a reason
For every chapter
Every season

We do not know
Why
Things happen as they do
But
Trust and believe the God of Hope
Will comfort you

The darkness will
Fade
And Hope will overcome
The memories remain

It is always darkest before dawn

M E A D O W

Pages of a history

Blank


Filled


Now, empty


An open meadow 



In your presence


Commanding


Enthralling 


Fulfilling



You met me


On a summer day


The sun


Against your face


My shoulders 


In your embrace 



I was


moved


By you


An Enigma


Like a lingering


Taste



Broken now


Hurt


Displaced


 

We are 


All 


a little Broken


Misplaced 



Yet


Broken Crayons


Still Color


With grace

Believe

The road you travel
Becomes 
a Journey 
That gives you Life

Step out

The Road is Open
Don't stop
Believe

Life

We must learn to number our days
For the brevity of life is certain and
The future unexpected


Be wise in the time you have now
Salvation is today


As the belt of Orion cannot be Loosened 
So remain the hands of time 


Tomorrow is not promised 
So live today 
With purpose

Un Moyen

A way in the wilderness
Bridges a new path
Streams through a wasteland
Against a beaten track

He is doing a new thing
If you can perceive it
Don't step back

Forget the former things
Do not dwell on the past

Vous ĂȘtes

You are

Fearfully and wonderfully made
So much more than your accolades

Naked
Free

Stripped down to your core
You are

Someone

Body
Spirit
Soul
in your Mind

More
than a carbon
Uniquely defined.

Petites Larmes de Joie

Laugh as much as you cry

If possible
Laugh more

Your Tears are waves of courage
That beat against life's
Shore
They flow from deep within
Your soul
To whisper stories
That are Untold

Your laughter
Is a guide
To promises
Unknown
Of hopes and dreams
From memories
Of love
You've always known

So close your eyes and smile
Again
Embrace the mysteries
Shown
Leave your tears on the battlefield
Of life
Rejoice
There's Hope
