Sometimes I get homesick for anywhere but home

I saw you through baby girl’s eyes

alex
I saw you through baby girl’s eyes
She was laughing and telling me a story
She said, “Dad is so funny, he cracks me up.”
I had to stop and think about that
because you do everything but make me laugh
I had to sit and let that burn it’s way
deep down in the heart I protect from you
past my shield, past the guard, the facade
I wear, to the core of the hurt
That’s where baby girl is
she’s the tenderest part of my heart
I gave it to you, not realizing the risk
One word from baby girl busts past
all my defenses
I love a good word about someone
except about you
I wish I saw you in a loving way
but I don’t because I know
the power of your words
bring me to my knees begging
for relief
I wished you would chase me down
beg me to forgive you
tell me you love me and that
I’m beautiful, something good, something nice
why are you nice to everyone but me?

I saw you through baby girls eyes today
my eyes keep watering

Baby girl like a Flash Flood

Ya baby he is right you are like a Flash Flood. Of course he is sweet on you but I have to say love came like a Flash Flood into my heart when I first laid eyes on you! You have that Flash Flood effect on folks! Here’s the song he said reminded him of baby girl! She’s shiny and she’s country💗YeeHaw!💗

this tree and me

20140612-063624-23784465.jpg
this tree
has seen me through
the seasons of my life
the fall
when I fell and stayed down
when I cried out
because my words fell away
the winter
when all of me was dead
invisible and I wanted
to stay that way
Then came Spring

This Tree
Has life all around her
as I sat beneath her canopy
Poured out my heart to her
She gave me hope
Then one day I saw this
Yellow flower just for me
In my spot
Where I sit and mend
This tree holds all my secrets
This tree is standing tall
Like me in
Wholeness
Something about that
Humbles me
Thank you God
For
this tree

If today was your last show rodeo how would that look?

If today was your last show rodeo how would that look? I want my rodeo to be full of love, gentleness, kindness, goodness, self control, peace, mercy, gladness, and most of all hope!

Nail holes in the fence

Nail holes in the fence-if I’ve ever put nail holes in your fence please forgive me!

In 100 years will it matter?

In 100 years will it matter, all you worry about today?
Let today worry about itself.
Be free today from worrisome thoughts!

Wildflowers like me

It’s hard to tame a wildflower
Or train them how to grow
You can dig them up
But next year
They’ll come back
Now, don’t you know
In the fields
I watch them gather
And they seem
To me to say
Come play here
In this field now
Wash your blues away
Wildflowers like me
