One year ago today ...

His life was taken from him and we, his family, will never be the same. Picture of Lauren (Ryan's cousin - my daughter) and Ryan - Thanksgiving 2005 Ryan Armstrong Born 4/8/86 - Back in God’s Arms 12/26/08 Seems like only yesterday, when you laughed and joked and played; chased the girls … around...

Here's to the best day ever!

No poetry today - just a big sigh signifying the end of a beautiful day. Probably the best Christmas my family has had in a very long time which is strange when you contrast this with all we've been through this year. Then again, maybe that's why it was our best. We truly appreciated one another and... Sign in to see full entry.

Something fun and very silly!

Unwrap Hope Gift giving is in the air; Breathed by people everywhere, Searching for that perfect gift, Through the rubbish, they must sift. It’s an all consuming kind, A gift of hope, they will find. Like Griswold, the Christmas geek, in a Christmas bonus, “eeek!!” Ralphy, next, is surely it, A bee... Sign in to see full entry.

Celebrating the Last Week of Advent

God is With Us O desperate one … Come, rejoice, and adore Me. Watch … the waves applause My majesty, Watch … as My glory fills your life. For I Am … the God of hope. O desperate one … Enter in and worship Me. Watch … as the wind declares My power, Watch … My hope is birthed in your pain. For I Am …... Sign in to see full entry.

My Rewrite of The Christmas Star

The Christmas Star The radiant beam pierces through the night; Like a beacon, guiding the evening soul. Searching through the void; For the empty and desolate heart, Deliverance waiting to be discovered, Crying out, “Follow me,” “Hope and Love has entered the world,” Brilliantly proclaiming, Seek...

The Christmas Star The radiant Beam calls out through the night; Like a beacon, illuminates the evening soul. The Star searches through the void within hearts; Paths leading to desolation, souls falling into an abyss, Deliverance is the Sunbeam. Seeking to grasp its Brilliance, in the blackness of...

Christmas Christmas: family, friends, the baby Jesus, Illuminating the Hope, freeing us. Love, laughter, and thrills embracing the air, Releasing the spirit's cares, freeing us. Tinsel, candy canes, carols being sung; Echoing yester-years’ joy, freeing us. Peace and liberty, one and all, cries out;... Sign in to see full entry.

Christmas Angels Angels unaware, Watching over me, Guarding and protecting, Beyond what I can see. Gently and tenderly, Whispering Your name, Reminding me of Hope, They faithfully proclaim. Creation is illuminated; Your majesty does shine. Bearing witness of God’s love, Declaring He is mine.... Sign in to see full entry.

True joy is to be savored and treasured!

A Joy Which Grows Engulfed in his presence, Absorbing every moment; His sweet … little … hands wrapped in mine, The fresh … spring … fragrance of his hair, The slow … relaxed … rhythms of his chest, Gently, pressing his supple face into mine, He falls asleep in my arms. Committing the moment to... Sign in to see full entry.

Out of Focus Shadows and shades of gray, lifelessly draping, void of form, Freely, release deceptive perceptions, seeing dimly, Discerning dimensions by degrees, not in the moment, But by the shapely form of what is to be, Or, what has been, the inner longings warm. Deliberation, decisively gives... Sign in to see full entry.
