Bullying Kills the Soul

Bullying kills a SOUL

The look on beautiful face 
was missing today
She seemed distant and 
lost far away 
As I got closer a tear rolled
slowly down her face
Her eyes sad and heart
out of place 
A hug and love did not seem 
to make a change at all
Is there something that I 
missed or someone I can call?
As the days still ticked by 
second to minutes then hour
She just looked like she was
fighting something that was
about to devour 
I stood quietly outside her
room and overheard my
baby girl start to cry
I gently sat close held her
precious hand and asked why?
Her cheeks covered with tears 
and she could could hardly
say a word
I knew my baby girl definitely 
needed to be heard 
Our family began picking 
up the puzzle pieces to make 
her WHOLE again 
With lots of love and effort we
we're able to change the sad into 
better over time gone by 
She was able to HOLD her
head HIGH looking to the 
SKY 
Bullying is veery serious 
and causing our kids to 
take their own lives across 
this WORLD you see 
The  CHALLENGE will not 
be easy and will take some
time, form a line behind ME

Fibromyalgia

No one knows the pain and struggle
we go through every hour of every
day 
We are survivors that most others
can definitely truly never say 
Our daily lives have been changed 
in every possible insane way 
Together we can make a stand 
and educate and advocate for
Fibromyalgia pain
No living being should be 
in a world of hurt and strife
We ALL deserve to live the BEST
and productive life
If you have no suffering and each 
day you awake like new 
Fall to your knees and thank GOD 
above for  being you
Don’t look at someone's outer 
cover and think they don’t look
like they are in pain
Pain can be masked with a smile,
its not always with a limp and a cane 
Be caring and understand that we all
are different and not all the same 
To a person hurting and hiding it all Inside, it's such a shame

Make a Difference

When you see someone suffering and in pain
Don't dismiss what you can change
Just a "hey" or "are  you ok?"Can 
truly change their day
The chaos in this world today
makes it hard for us to find
Our  own way
Folks are living in grief and lost
In life
Stricken with dispare and strife 
One thing we can do as people
With a heart
We can make a small difference
From the start
Pay it forward in a way that you
Can
Be it woman, child or man
Say a prayer as you lay to
Rest
GOD could be putting us to
The test

Cancer Has No Filter

Our little angels are being taken 
by this horrible disease
GOD help to rid this from the 
world please
It has no filter to pick and
choose you see
It could take hold of you
or hold of me 
When it appears in our kids
it hits us most
Why did you pick our little 
ones? They should not be 
your host
They should be playing each 
and everyday
Not laying up sick and hurting 
we know that’s your way
Rid their little bodies of your
nasty hold 
And take your sickness with you 
as you go
The day will come as we STOMP
you out forever 
We only wish that it was sooner
to make our little ones 
better
We will jump for joy and shout
it to the moon
That day will come and 
hopefully very soon
Little Owen is running and 
playing in HEAVEN forever 
more 
You don’t have him to hurt
GOD closed the door

The Reason

A sound wakes me 
In the dead of night
My eyes quickly 
try to focus into sight
Was it real or was it
Part of my dream?
How come it was
So real that I almost
Screamed ?
A lucid dreamer
I've always been since
I can remember
way back when
Sleep is all you want
when you lay to rest
But your mind keeps 
putting you to the test
Eyes still half blurred
You start to think
Why did I wake?
There is a reason I 
Feel it deep in my bones
But There is no movement
In my home
I lay back down in bed
Music on, my bible
at my hand 
I open it up to see what
GOD is telling me.
It opens to Nehemiah
8:10
"For the Joy of the Lord
Is your Strength.
Now I realize he just
Wanted to remind me
Of what he meant

New Day, New Year

My eyes slowly open as night 
Turns to day
I stretch and yawn and start
On my way
The night sent dreams that
remain in my head 
Wonderful visions as a lay
quietly in bed 
But now it's time to rise
and shine
Jump start the day, oh
daily grind
Positive vibes is always  
my attitude
You will never find this
gal being rude
Putting on my smile is
part of my glow
For you never know who
You may show
Keep your heart and soul 
happy as best you can
For we never know when 
we will meet again
GOD is always watching 
from the Heavens Above
Look up to the sky and 
Feel the love 
Its a New Year 2017, be
at your best 
And fulfill your DREAMS?

The Mind

That moment when you 
Awake in the middle 
Of the night due to
Things on your mind
That you wish you 
Could just hit a button
And do a rewind
Your mind is racing
to calm itself down 
But the things you
Have seen keep
Coming back around 
The mind is very
Powerful as GOD made
it to be
There are just some 
Things we want not 
See 
At that moment
we ask 
we then receive 
What a powerful
GOD we have
In those times
We believe
He is there 24/7 use
his Mercy and Grace
Because one day 
Real soon
We shall see his 
Face

Love

The heart is a muscle yet
We use it as a symbol of
Love.
So protect it closely like a
hand in a glove.
We draw it on papers with
Cute little words to show
Our affection
But on rare occasion we
Are thrown a nasty rejection
Love is delicate and needs
To grow between to souls
It can tear you up or it
Can make you whole
Treat love when you find it
As the greatest treasure 
Of all time
Because it may be the last
You see of it's kind
Love is a rarity in these
Hectic days
So When you find it make 
Sure it stays
Respect what the word 
Love stands for
In the end it will come
Knocking on your door

Blessings 2

At a glimpse of my kids with 
each new day
I see the amazing person
 that has come their way
The clock has spun around
as if not even to stop
What is that I feel running
down my cheek? Oh it's you !
another tear drop
My son is so awesome and
now a dad again to be
It's hard to think that gentle 
giant came from me
My daughter Hunter so
amazing and now a mommy 
herself 
I look at her different pictures
sitting upon my book shelf 
My youngest daughter Bailey 
so beautiful, has blossomed
so fast 
Why can't I turn back time? Just
a few more days in the past.
Jaden and Zander are my lil
blessings now added to my life 
When I'm with them and my kids,
there are NO worries or strife 
Now lil Dallas is arriving in 
August of this year
I'm so excited as I think of
his coming that I feel 
more tears
GOD you are ALMIGHTY and
my ROCK of all ages
I know that you have been
with us as I turn the pages

Rock Bottom and Back

Rock Bottom and Back

So dark and empty, cold and lonely  as if in a pit,
But I know now rock bottom is where I had hit.
I called out in fright wanting someone to take me out,
It didn’t matter how I said it, quietly and some a shout.

Rock bottom is not a place I ever imagined to be,
Not a mom, a nurse, a Christian, why me?
I began to sob and held my faces in my hands,
Is this my life? Is this God’s plan?

I fell to my knees and began to pray  and cry.
At times in the prayer I even called to God, why?
My life is a mess and I feel so trapped right now,
Tell me how to save myself, please tell me how!

The dark place I was in at an instance shed some light,
I knew it was God’s way I saw it, because this was
At night.
I felt a big weight shifting off my back, I knew
At that instance, my life was getting on track.

Tears fell to cold place around my legs and feet,
But even through the tears, it felt so sweet.
God was with me, I knew this for sure,
I felt light and lifting, true and pure.

Miracles can take place, even in tough times,
We have to believe he is yours and he is mine.
Rock bottom can sneak up and drag you  down,
But hold on tight and have strength  and  stand
Your ground.

God is the saving and amazing grace,
He will keep you on track to win the race.
