It is in the Garden I grow
not that I have obtained
perfection. . .but
still I grow daily. . .
by hour
by minute
by second
It really doesn’t matter
what anyone thinks it simply is so
It is in the Garden I grow

the Garden of Life

Please don’t give up on me

Please don’t give up on me
Sometimes I don’t know what to say
so I back away…
but please don’t go away
don’t give up on me

It is hard to explain so I just

Happy Friday~I come to you with a heavy heart

HappyFriday copy

Happy Friday to you sweet friends!
With a heavy heart I come to you today. . .Have you ever noticed that no matter what the sun comes up? I think sometimes when we are suffering loss or some sort of tragedy that sun has some nerve showing up on your sadness and loss.

Alex [baby girl] has a 1/2 sister Ashley…Yesterday her husband committed suicide. My heart is heavy for her today. I woke before the sun and waited on God. This one thing I know for sure the sun always comes up rather on our grief, on our happiness, no matter what it does come up! This I can count on, God’s grace for my step-daughter and also for Jeanne Marie my Pink friend, her nephew died yesterday. I will tarry for you as you grieve sweet friend. I am here!

if. . .I could touch the tip of dawn
today
I know I will be ok

if. . .I could stand atop this mountain
today
I know I will be ok

if. . .I could reach the stars that shine
today
I know I will be ok

if. . .I could fly if I just believe it
today
I know I will be ok

I am ok and flying high

Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Birthday Mom
This is my dawn
this is where I live
today on your birthday
I honor you with this gift
This is where I healed MOM
I stood before the Dawn
Each sunrise was a wonder
Each day I tarried on till today
We’ve come full circle
I forgive you!
Happy Birthday Mom

Did you know when seahorses find a mate they wrap their tails around each other so the tide doesn’t drift them apart?
