Thankful For Life

If I am weak,
You make me strong.
God let me know,
We can go on.

Saying never,
Won't let us down.
Sense love's presence,
Always around.

We can bear all,
Pain, hurt, or strife.
When we awake,
Thankful for life.

Improvement by Exchange

Another day looking,
In the mirror I see.
A little less sunshine,
Uh oh the other me.

Good thing this truth is known,
Great view of who I AM.
Have this pen in my hand,
And I don't give a damn.

Time for a new story,
Yes it's completely done.
Yesterday is over,
Already on the run.

No need to peek backwards,
Will not cause me to change.
Instead my solution,
Improvement by exchange.

More Than One Chance

Takes some hard work,
Trusting to feel.
PTSD,
Rolls like a wheel.

 Forgave myself,
Found place to heal.
Yesterday's thoughts,
Were all too real.

It's in the past,
Not what I see.
Spirit and soul,
The first real me.

Look deep inside,
Need healing too?
Better choices,
Aim to now do.

Live a full life,
Learn a new dance.
A journey gives,
More than one chance.

Jealousy and Hate



Social media,
Turned on a new light.
A forbidden zone,
Gave more insight.

Goodness still exists,
Learned this is true.
People show me love,
Not too many do.

Danger lurks in some,
Watch your front and back.
Always be prepared,
For blind-side attack.

Keep both eyes open,
Before it's too late.
There are these twins called,
Jealousy and hate.

Allowed to Feel



Many long years prior,
Questioning what I know.
Uncertain of drama,
Just wanted to let go.

Didn't make any sense,
Oh the pain was so deep.
Why another challenge,
Doing nothing to reap.

Also overcoming,
Such another great loss.
Overwhelmed with feeling,
Where was this Supreme boss?

Then voice said "Well now see,
You can handle all this.
Have great plans for your life,
Revert past to a mist.

Things only you will know,
Without pain or remorse.
Situations to grow,
I am not here by force."

Up to this period,
Knew I suffered enough.
Seemed to lack needed strength,
All had been more than rough.

Endured through the journey,
And wounds truly did heal.
Yes still have memories,
But we're allowed to feel.

Talk to You

My dearest brother,
Teach me how to pray.
Sometimes I think like,
Don't know what to say?

Father in heaven,
One way I begin.
Yet further along,
Unsure where to end.

I want to express,
Simply how I feel.
Showing that Your child,
Is sincere and real.

Grant unto me words,
As I give my all.
Using heart and soul,
Help before I fall.

Thank you God of love,
I know how to pray.
Have faith that You are,
Providing my way.

Proclaiming Your word,
It is always true.
I can rest at night,
When I talk to you.
