Moving Day

It was as it began - bare walls and emptiness
A window to the outside and beyond.
The memories are packed away
Tomorrow is moving day.

The voices echo - greetings and smiles
A young heart is anxious to begin the dream.
Waiting for the suns golden ray
Tomorrow is moving day.

I leave with more friends and respect
A new vision of hope and happiness.
After some time and brief delay
Tomorrow is moving day.

The calmness within this heart and soul
A burden has been lifted from me.
This warrior can finally say...
Tomorrow is moving day.

Fear Or Dare?

I wasn't expecting it - yet suddenly it was there
The unwanted emotion, with a wide-eyed stare.
In a moment of panic, I knew it was fear
Robbing me of everything dear.
I clutched at the fading tunnel of light
"Oh Lord please don't take me - not on this night."
My thoughts were a jumbled, mass of despair
I just couldn't breathe... there was no air!
For a moment in time I felt weightless and free
Did I want to go back - would the pain follow me?
I had no choice, I fought all the way
Nothing came freely, what price would I pay?
A single tear slipped gently somewhere
One gasp, then another - fear became... dare.
Faces and voices - so frantic, unsure
My eyes pleaded for help, it was a race to endure.
Slowly, slowly, I fought the battle alone
As they stood back watching I heard a voice softly moan.
There was no time for anger, life was slipping by
A warm, soft breeze whispered... "try, try, try."
I knew I had won... defeated the fear
Embraced by the power of all I held dear.

My Friends

There is a special place ~ well hidden.
No one enters easily ~ though it's not forbidden
Our life revolves in living motion
With such ado and much commotion.
Along the way we're blessed to find
A friend or two for which we bind.

These chosen one, for which we trust
protect us most ~ when times get rough.
They love us, even with our flaws
And pick up the pieces when we fall
They love us just because ~ we're us
Without a lot of extra fuss.

Words don't have to be conveyed
To hold the bond for which we made.
My friends have hearts made of gold
To share the secrets we have told.
My life would not be complete
Without the friends I've chanced to meet.

When a hectic day is through
I know I can always call on you.
Maybe I'll never find the words to say,
How much you mean to me each day.
Thank you Lord ~ I'm truly blessed
The friends you gave me are... the best.

Battle The Night

How do I fight the loneliness that circles me at night?
Missing all the fun outside, as I continue on my fight.
Sometimes it wants to crush me, turn me into dust,
But I have to be the bigger one... fight it, yes I must.
The tears become my companion, slipping silently like rain,
Sometimes this vacant prison drives me captively insane.

I want to be the butterfly escaping the shelter of its cocoon,
To spread my colorful wings and journey toward the moon.
I want to be the gliding eagle, with wind beneath my wings,
Soaring through the velvet sky, free to experience everything.
I don't want to hide away and never feel the sun,
I need to be an army, not the loneliness of one.

My angels fight the demons which cause my tears to fall,
Shedding light in darkness, tearing down the wailing walls.
Why does the pain have to follow me with each step I take,
Why can't it just release me, for I refuse to break.
When the dawn arrives the loneliness takes its flight,
It will be back to battle me again... on yet another night.

A Moment Of His Grace

I took a journey into my thoughts
Imagined what they'd be
Then I heard His voice, whispering to me.

What do you fear, my child
What are these tears that fall?
I hear my name each time you call.

I hold you in your sorrow
I embrace you in your fear
In this time of struggle, I am always near.

I dare not to ask the questions
I'd rather gaze upon His face
I feel surrounded by His majestic grace.

Do you feel the angels standing by your side
Swords at the ready to protect both day and night
Shining in the glory of My unwavering light?

What did you see in all the rainbows
Each one circled you with love
The promise I send you from above?

Stay strong, My little warrior
The journey will be a fight
Be bold against your plight.

He gave me a moment of His grace
Held me in his mighty hand
I'm no longer alone... beside me He will stand.

Beauty is a state of mind
That can’t be seen or touched
It lives within the beating heart
And often times gets crushed.

A Time for Everything

A time to learn, a time to teach
A time to grasp, a time to reach
A time to listen, a time to talk
A time to run, a time to walk.

A time to work, a time to rest
A time to spend, a time to invest
A time to laugh, a time to cry
A time to answer, A time to ask, "What for & Why?"
A time for peace, a time for descention
A time for solitude, a time for attention.

A time to go, a time to stay
A time to give freely, a time to pay
A time to gather, a time to depart
A time to end, a time to start
A time to be born, a time to die
A time to give up, a time to try
A time to nurture, a time to scold
A time to be young, a time to be old
A time to be strong, a time to be weak
A time to hide, a time to seek.

There is a time for everything
we cannot take, without equal giving
We cannot perceive, without the reality of living.

Reflections of Me

Mirrored calm, smooth as ice
Sunlight glittering, not a ripple in sight
Reflections of me ~ on the waters edge...

Peaceful silence all around
Hear my sigh echo against nature's sound
Petals flutter into the stream
Silently floating ~ so serene.
The banks hold thoughts in a confine of space
Flowing along in their liquid grace.

Lavender hues and fragments of gray
Reflections seen from day to day
The visions of another view
Captured in the shades of you.

Mirrored calm, smooth as ice
Sunlight glittering, not a ripple in sight
Reflections of me ~ on the waters edge...

Dedicated to Randy He took my vision and turned it into... Reflections of Me. *I love you very much*
