A Choice

Each of us must one day face a path that divides in two. One goes to a place that's dark and one above the sky of blue. Eternity is a forever piece of time so much more than we can know; a choice is required of each to which would you go? Hell is a certain address to this end fear to nod. Forever is...

I need a note

Where do you want me? What is to be my task? For life's difficult questions a simple note is all I ask. To serve only You, an assignment I'd readily start; or to remain at the bedside tending to mind, body and heart. How about the family? The very ones with whom I'm blessed, do I even stand a...

Just a note

Thank you all for a wonderful week. I'm so excited about writing again because of your encouragement, your direction on how to do things better, and teaching me new things about poetry (thanks Merkie and Kent!). I've enjoyed sitting here this morning with the wind howling outside the window and... Sign in to see full entry.

Each day a chance

Oh Lord I want to do Your will in my life each and every day. "Good and faithful servant" are the words that I want to hear You say. To help and support my fellow man through gritted teeth I know's not right; to keep my tithe to myself a little longer even so, it's never out of Your sight. Why is... Sign in to see full entry.

Together

Spirit of God in me arise and go forth; renew my mind and soul to see life in this birth. Christ in me, a hope; praise and worship meant for You. In my words and my deeds searching Scripture for the clues. Eyes off of self and on the One above all, the Last Adam made possible that which was lost in... Sign in to see full entry.

My Psalm 23

Lord, I need a Shepherd; Someone who can make me stop and smell the roses, help me hear the gentle streams of the life I'm missing, show me the right choices and decisions to make, and above all, show me how to please You. You know my financial, physical and mental struggles are great. Yet, there's... Sign in to see full entry.

A different direction

Some of my poetry is about what I do as a career. I'm a critical care nurse and have been for 14 years. I've seen a lot in that time and I've learned not to go into detail at the dinner table. I think my family is learning to just tune me out! Another shift, yet another night in this world of health... Sign in to see full entry.

Walls

Level by level, brick by brick; hedges are placed between me and all. Solitude becomes my sole companion a heart's protector - the need for a wall. Too frequent the appearance of tears none too gently put in their place; a sense of playing grown-up carves a smile in the mask - my face. The haunted... Sign in to see full entry.

For My Friends

There are many blessings in life that I count out loud each day. The greatest is the fact that God chose you to send my way. Gently nudge me in His direction, always help me seek His face; remind me of those "shall nots" at His very knee save my place. Together wayward sheep are we, stumbling to...

Good night

Thanks for sharing my days off with me. This is an amazing place. But, unfortunately my long week begins. I work 12 hour shifts (7p-7a) and I'm scheduled for five of them this week. So as the day blooms into another beautiful one, it's time to put on the alarm clock and snuggle down into the flannel... Sign in to see full entry.
