Ball of fire gently rising
from clouded darkness
Hope and  future;
the light at the end of my tunnel
Journey begins anew.

Earie haze of morning stillness
life welcoming
Stepping out into the day break
shedding the woes of slumber.
Journey begins anew.

Bowing slowly, honorably
to know the peace of God.
Something greater.
Just beyond our grasp.
Striving onward to no regrets
and no second guesses.
Self-actualization barely
beyond one's reach.

Brain infected with self doubt
Soul invested in beginnings
Heart strong and caring
Body demands compliance
Mind spiked with possibilities
and so it goes. . . . . . . . . . . . . .
these doubts and me.

 

Endless smile, spirit

free and wondrous.

Happy, social, angelic

disposition---

all that we are not.

Yet, child of our loins;

given ours to protect,

to prepare for long life.
Long and healthy life of joy

and much success.

Unplanned, yet unmatched

She completes our family

Life given from trial;
tortured by my sins.

Seeking health and

healing from a

childhood curse.

Helplessness invades

Raising prayers to God

for hope, peace and health.

Desperate to be granted

healing and peace.

Selfishly begging protection

over one the two best

I will ever achieve ---

Dad, I miss you.
I miss your counsel,
I miss your smile, I miss
your logic, I miss your quite understanding,
and you unconditional love.

I now have my own daughters
to love, to encourage and to
give unconditional love.
You've spoke to them, my
eldest knows you well.
I am amazed at her connection
to one she never met.

I miss you..... I love you.
Your granddaughters are worthy
of your pride, your love, your crossing over
wisdom.  They are your goodness, your
inspiration and your medium.
Happy Father's day.

Father above

Renew my spirit
feed my waning soul
and regenerate my mind.
This body is weak and
faltering.
My spirit searches for
a detox from all that labors it.

New beginnings hang in the air,
opportunities, challenges and 
the path that you have directed.
Guide me O Father, allow
you ways and your love
to shine through.
Show me thy way.

Take my hand
so that I can not help
but to follow where you lead.
Extend you patience to this tired soul.
I have not allowed you to guide it as I should.
I now humble myself to your guidance
and your mercy. 

Take me as I am and mold me to
Your will.
