To my dear sweet friend
That I love so very much,
I want you to know
My heart you have touched.
Some choices that were made
Might not have been the very best
But I’ll tell you from within
You are more special than the rest.
Though way too late at night
I would visit with you my friend
Great joy has been my reward
And a friendship I don’t want to see end.
I am sorry for the distractions
I might have added to your days
But I hope that you have found
I added joy in some other ways.
I am pleased to call you my friend
As it began from up above
And hope you will remember
That I think of you with love.
So now I wish you well
In all you do from here.
We will keep in touch my friend
And bring each other cheer.
May the Lord continue to bless you
In all you do and say
And know I’ll look forward to seeing you
As our paths may cross one day!

Missing My Sunlight
As I raise my head to look towards the sky
The rays of the sun work desperately to glisten
Through the clouds slowly forming above where I stand.
How I love the beauty and the warmth I feel
When the waves of light shine upon me
Bringing such brightness after an unlit night.
But little by little the beams begin to fade away
As the sun is covered by the dim shadows
That now surrounds that enormous sphere of light.
I feel the touch of a raindrop as it moistens my skin.
Glancing back to the heavens and seeing the darkness
I know the sun is there, yet I cannot see or feel it.
Though I understand the importance of the rain
I long for the warmth of the sun that is now vanished
And wonder how long it will be before it returns.
Standing still, I wait patiently for the clouds to part
For I know that the sun will shine yet again
With greater light than it had shone once before.

Starlight
A noise, interrupting my thoughts
Took me to the window
But my mind was distracted
From the reason I had been led there.
For in the midst of the darkness
I could see
A sparkle of light
As it reflected from the raindrops
That had collected on the Christmas lights
That adorned the home.
The brisk chill in the air
Was only present through the view of the fallen leaves
And the wind that carried them about as if
Nature was painting a beautiful tapestry
Before my eyes.
A wonderful time and season
Had come once again.
How quickly the year had passed
Leaving me another year older
But another year wiser too.
Though I could see beyond the window,
I discovered that the transparent glass
Had found the ability to serve as a mirror
Reflecting my image into my view.
I looked upon myself as if I was
Seeing my illustration from another view.
Foremost in my thoughts was that of gratitude
For blessing that I had.
How grateful that I encompass
The knowledge the Jesus Christ lives.
I sat back taking a sip of hot cocoa.
The warm drink taking the chill from me
I think about the gifts I had been given.
Knowing that I had been given much,
I asked myself of what gifts
Have I given in return?
Contemplating this thought,
I sat curled up in the warmth
Looking toward the sky
In it’s infamous beauty.

Seasons of Friendship
Time rushes by quickly as I view into the past
Sensitive to where I’ve been and where I’ve come at last.
And as I glance with awe at events now present in each day,
I’m grateful for each season and the paths along the way.
It seems that just yesterday I was in the springtime of my life
Sharing seeds with all around me through the joy and through the strife.
For that awakening in my childhood and the freshness of those years
Gave birth to a special friendship that was so loving and so dear.
Then came the summer of refinement when the sun would scorch my back
As I saw some seeds I’d planted wither from the water they did lack.
I had put aside the attention that a certain yield would need
And lost the reward of a friendship through the thickness of my own weeds.
But in the coolness of this autumn as I reap what I have sowed
I see a crop of good and plenty as I matured in what I’ve come to know.
For a seed that once was planted in the springtime of my youth
Has survived the fiery sting of summer and opened a door of truth.
And when it’s time for winter and the crops are stricken bare
May I keep my cup full by showing my friend that I still care.
For when that yield seems lost because the falling of snow above
I know it will live on because it was planted with true love.

Life
In the morning of my life
I knew not what to do.
The world was all so simple
I depended on both of you.
Laughter came so easy
Tears would stay behind.
I never knew the darkness
The sun it always shined.
But now I’ve grown and noticed
That life is not the same.
I must make a decision
That will determine my true fame.
I’ll turn to the Lord
For help and direction.
So that choices I make
Will serve as my protection.
Because now I have learned
Through all my toil and strife,
That the roads I choose to take
Can determine the outcome of my life.

Lost
Lost.
Unable to find,
Who I am.
Logically, I know,
Emotionally perplexed.
Confused.
Not knowing
Where I belong.
Feelings,
Undefined.
What use to be
Is gone.
New time of life
Bringing changes
In my roles.
Fighting tears.
Struggling for something
That seems out of reach.
Weighed down.
Wanting,
But can’t have.
Fighting an inner war.
Unable to express
To others
Needs I feel within.
Knowing what is right
But tempted by
Desires to give up
For an easier way.
Sometimes loosing
The will to live,
But understanding
The joy of what I have.
I must not quit.
Longing for more
Yet I am rich with blessings.
Frustrated.
Can’t be
What I want to be
And starving for
What I can’t have.
Yet, I go on and
Find hope in tomorrow
Knowing that I have
So much more than
Others may ever have.
Understanding, that maybe
I am not so lost.

In My Mind
Hidden in my mind
Our hearts are clasp as one
As we walk along the seashore
And talk of years forgone.
We look into each other’s eyes
As we listen and we laugh
Through a field of countless flowers
We share our journey’s path.
Our hands are joined together
In a clinch that says we’re safe
While we stand upon the mountain
And speak of trials we’ve faced.
Our feet are tired and weary
From the travels we’ve pursued
But the beauty of the forest
Only unites me to you.
Then with arms around each other
And a love we can’t deny
The splendor of the moonlight
Captures the tears of our goodbye.

And a love we can’t deny
