Chantilly Grace

Chantillygrace - 1 (1)

My Pa said,  “She had Chantilly Grace,” and I always wondered too myself…wasn’t that lace?
Oh but he said, “It’s so much finer than that, she has the kind of grace that when she left the room she took my heart with her.” Oh I said, “Pa I want that kind of grace one day,”  and he said. “You’ve already got it, the day I first held you in my arms, I knew my heart would break a thousand times watching you go, now straighten up an act like it.” I smile just thinking of that day! I still don’t know what he meant but he always made it sound so pretty and I loved that about him.

I lean in as You hold still
Knowing
there isn’t
anything
we can’t 
overcome
together.
You said 
lean on me
so I am! 

Hold me in the shadow of your Love

Rock me in the arms of your embrace
Hold me in the shadow of your Love
filled with Grace
so amazing…always amazing to me
How your Love is all I need!
In the shadow of your Love I will stay! 

barely there

She’s barely there sometimes like a whisper
A gentle spirit just waiting to hold a moment
I love how she waits extends her arms to hold
us both! Laurie said that and I love it!
The arms reaching out and holding us both!
This reminded me of her!

how’s things at your house?

When snow falls nature listens

When snow falls nature listens

Down at the river bend you are the reason

down by the river bend
that’s where you are waiting
you are my reason for tracing
tracks in the snow

Gratitude when memory

Gratitude

Gratitude…when memory is stored in the heart not the mind
