Home - Build by the Holy Spirit of God's power and grace!
His Divine Will brings joy to your face.
Unshakeable faith opens every door of sustenance,
Tender love, peace, trust after repentance.
Let all go and totally rely.
Then through life's tests you will fly!
Home is where Mom and Dad are ...ie. Heaven!
When the going gets tough, the tough get going!
Happiness is homemade!
There're fragrant flowers in full bloom
With colors radiant, vibrant, bright!
Pure joy exuding while you groom
Your first glimpse captures eyes filled with light
Finding delight in the wondrous, mysterious gift!
And though given for only a while, still, is alright
So dreams are built never imagining the rifts
As you nurture, guard and lead along the way
Help fulfill a purpose –others to uplift
Gentle pruning with care so they do not stray
Validate worth through kindness and care
For certain, one day petals will fall into disarray
And too soon, the sun will set and awaken fear
A time when the dreams lie forever silent; broken
Rest assure, beautiful spirits live forever, near
Alive in roots, like fine lace woven
The legacy of love leaves an unending trail
Yet, nailed in a place secure and proven
At home in your soul where it cannot be derailed

For Debbie's "When the Going Gets Tough the Tough Get Going" Contest
They trekked to another part of the jungle to find a
Way out, Judy seemed out of breath
As they clawed their way
Through thick vegetation on that hot day
Would they survive?
For lunch they would share a tuna sandwich
The sky was starting to turn gray
They figured they were somewhere in the Amazon
When the going gets tough, the tough get going
There were tears and fears and doubts
In their eyes you could see they were weak
Surviving did matter- but time was running out and
Rations were sparse
Exhausted and running on empty
They heard the thunder as the sky opened up
..... then they saw the village up ahead
They would survive after all...miracles do happen
