Perspective

Sleeping elephant
Nestling cozy, lakeside
Basking in the sun.

Tranquil Beginnings

Through the fore-day veil,
First blush sublimely dawning 
Over mossy rock.

Fibonacc

Chores
suck,
laundry,
dishes too.
All of this to do.
I would hire a maid for it if I could afford to, 
but that is impossible, and even with housework, in God all things are possible.

In the End

Silent, sarcastic sneering Dark, deadly deliberation Ignoring ignited ire Foolish fervor over fateful follies.

Husband

Hands that know to pull me close, 
Understanding I am human too.
Standing beside me come what may,
Because you said, “I do”.
Affirmations of your adoration 
Nestled in what you say with the sweet
Desire in your deep brown eyes showing me the way.

Sacrifice

There is nothing I have to do, except be me The one whom you created. There is nothing I have to say , But I praise you anyway. The blood flowed from your wounds, Covered my sins. Your sacrifice cleansed me, Made me pure again. You are my best friend, The one in whom I confide. No words can truly say The feeling I want to convey.

Afraid

It is dark and cold. Left alone, where will we go. Are they coming home.

Savior

I live without sin,
my soul healed within.

Oh, praises I will sing
to you my precious King.

Where Did I Go

Oh, I sit here so uninspired on my rear like a blown out tire. 'Twas, yesterday there was brilliance abound, but, alas there is none to be found. My head is full of petty agitations of my lovely children's manifestations. In the corners of mind I am reminiscing of poems laced with the passions of kissing. My youth spent in frivolous despair over whether this one or that one will like my hair. Carefree and taking up space, I never cared if I won the race. Never thought I would see tomorrow, but their three lovely faces erase all my sorrow.
