Reminiscing

I am nothing but thankful For your accompaniment along the miles When my feet could not longer find footing And my shoulders stooped beneath the weight Of a thousand perceived failures and mistakes When I could no longer take another step I must have unconsciously sent out a divine flare Because then you arrived, thenContinue reading “Reminiscing”

Christmas Wish

An aroma of baked goodies drift through the rooms A clutter of old decorations strewn up from years past MeagerContinue reading “Christmas Wish”

Anchor

Sometimes when I find myself floating Drifting aimlessly in rumination and fear You are the anchor that guides me home When I cannot find my landing place. Eventually I would have found a destination The way I always have, the way I always will But your presence is like a peaceful song Singing me toContinue reading “Anchor”

You Still Shine Bright

Oh, sweet soul, you still shine bright A star gleaming softly in the chill of night Spilling light across a canvas of snow Uplifting heavy hearts wherever you go. In this season of both laughter and tears May hope dispel the shadows of your fears And may love find you in times of despair ThroughContinue reading “You Still Shine Bright”
