A Recollection

Above green pastures I fell into a recollection

Beyond the shore side I made a connection

Concisely I wrote in a tiny flowered journal

Determined to be a strong woman so maternal

Everyone craves desires to work on themselves

Find freedom from books on our dusty shelves

Growing in fantasy of being better than we are

Hoping our wishes come true from our special star

Internal revelations fear nothing but great loss

Jurisdiction for true answers no matter the cost

Kicking and screaming we search in front of our eyes

Learning nonetheless we must remove our disguise

Maybe I’ll find my beliefs are enough reasons to live

Never giving up on passion I need to freely give

Open my heart to my honest soul-saving wonder

Pray if I’m in life’s earthquake I shall never fall under

Quietly I sit and ponder why life brings such sorrow

Remember the sun sets in west for a brighter tomorrow

Selfishly I crave more riches than I have received

Truth be told God has given me more than I’ll ever need

Uniquely I write prose for the one true lover of my life

Vicariously I am forever blessed to be his eternal wife

When the snow falls I shall see beauty in mother nature

Xerox my memories of the importance of the manger

Youth came and now I am an adult free to choose

Zig-zagged and healthy free from yesterday’s blues
