I see the pain she hides,
The tears she cries.
The little girl inside,
A heart filled with pride.

A warrior in her own right.
As she heals...such a fight.
The mists of unknown.
A future un-shown.

She sets her eyes on the goal.
There's not found a braver soul.
Determination knits her brow.
From this journey, she will not bow.

We all watch with wonder.
From her light, we're found under.
Blessed by all she is and does.
Fortunate to feel of her love.

It's our turn to give back.
Lend her strength, when she lacks.
Be the voice of encouragement.
Be the prayer, with knees bent.

More blessed than I

Have the right to deserve.

More mindful of me,

Thou hast labored and served.

Found me lacking,

Found me weak,

Found me hiding,

No words did I speak.

Moved me forward

With gentle nudge.

Never leaving me,

Alone to drudge.

Opened my pathways,

Made them bright.

Gave me strength,

To continue the fight.

Eased the pain

Of my burdened past.

Showing me your love

Will forever last.

Loves Me 10/2/2010

Loves me when I’m crying,

Loves me when I’m blue,

Loves me when I’m laying,

On his chest when the day is through.

Loves me when I’m cooking,

Loves me when I’m not,

Loves me when I’m rambling,

About silly details he’s forgot.

Loves me when I’m weak,

Loves me when I’m strong,

Loves me every way,

Even when the week has been too long.

Loves me when we’re laughing,

Loves me when we’re not,

Loves me when we say our prayers,

A blessing that can’t be bought.

Loves me when he holds me,

Loves me when I’m away,

Loves me ever so perfectly,

I’m counting down the days.

Loves me in the future,

Loves me in the past,

Loves me this very minute,

A love to forever last.

What has happened?
You were doing so well.
Why is it that,
You have stumbled and fell?

Fallen from the stars,
Dropped through darkened clouds.
Stained with the colors,
Haunted by the sounds.

Escape can’t be found.
Stability---just a breeze.
Mind is left wondering.
Body---does only freeze.

Desire is to escape,
But feet need solid ground.
Needing a place to put them,
Looking but can’t be found.

Time is passing me over,
Life is blowing by.
I am endlessly falling,
Questioning and wondering why.

Ghosts that haunt me,
Ties that bind.
Make me feel,
As if I’ve lost my mind.
Hours of contemplation,
Rest heavy upon my soul.
What is it, what is it?
What should be my goal?
There is no winner.
Who should the loser be?
Please, oh please, help me.
Help me to know and see.
In whose hands do I place,
The short end of the stick?
Regardless, I will be the one
Who will still be left sick.
Put myself first,
Leave the others last.
Is this the only way,
To deal with my tainted past?

I wish I could erase
The injustice you feel in the past.
I wish that I could strengthen
Some feelings you say ‘don’t last’.

I wish I could give you
The peace you’re longing for.
I wish I could show you
Sands of a different shore.

I wish I could be,
The greatest sis’ you’ve ever had.
I wish that when I called you,
My voice would make you glad.

Wishes, I’m surrounded by.
Dreams that might come true.
Some of which depends upon me,
Much of which relies on you.

Life is sometimes confusing.
You don’t know which path to take.
Overrun with choices,
Not knowing which one to make.

Just think of your beginning.
Where did you come from?
Allow that to light your path,
Of what you will become.

I need a stop,
A pause in this life.
I need an escape,
A release from the strife.

Not an end,
Or even a final chapter.
Just some time and space,
So my life I can master.

Crazy spinning cycles,
Taking a million turns.
Not knowing which of my paths,
Will lead me to more burns.

Just a little time,
To call all my own.
These are not things,
That I can be shown.

I need some individuality,
Some distinct uniqueness.
Replacement of jaded thoughts,
To endure life with finesse.

So just give me a moment,
Give me some time.
Allow my breath,
To catch up to these lungs of mine.
