From a black hole's depths, it emerged with grace,
To share its story...

When I think of all the things I’ve done,
The pain I’ve caused, the fears that have won…
I’m left in awe of the love He’s shown,
He’s...

April showers

Drip drip drop,

Little April Showers,

Falling from the clouds,

The rain drops down

Each drip and drop sounds 

Different as it hits the grounds 

Natures musical melody...

The beauteous Portia of my dream
With her anchor of roses
Conceived by her body of harmony.
The velvety of her...

Lying on the ground
Fell off in the night

Lovely orange and bright

into the stormy iron-gray sky

	Cried, the humanity..
Silenced...

and teachers without kids,
but not for grandpa...
