A wiggle in the cushion, a giggle in the dark,We open up a book to find a prehistoric park! But wait, the T-Rex has a cold, he sneezes with a thud,And now the shiny tractor is stuck deep in the mud. I try to read the sentences exactly as they look,But someone’s tiny fingers tryContinue reading “Sticky Pages and Upside Down Kids”

The Mindful Purpose
A map of stories waiting to be told,Of ink and art, and futures left to mold. A mind that strips the clutter from the page,To guide young hearts upon a changing stage. A voice that honors craft and quiet pride,With deep roots where the rolling waters glide, Who knows the weight a single word canContinue reading “The Mindful Purpose”
All Mothers Carry it
All mothers carry it. The cry that can forever be heard. The one that rattles your bones with a loss of words. Like a hollow echo that goes unheard. With a heavy soul and vision blurred. It shadders your heart in two. Wishing it was you When a child cries in rue And a motherContinue reading “All Mothers Carry it”
Don’t Blink
The tiny infant you hold so close. Will soon out grow those adorable clothes. Don’t blink Those sleepless nights and midnight cries Will soon be a teen, bright and wise. Don’t Blink. The toddler with the headstrong flare. Will soon, no longer need you there. Don’t Blink. Those trenches of motherhood can seem so deep.Continue reading “Don’t Blink”
The Unwritten Sin
I have not written a poem in some time. Recently, I have had this one looping through my mind. The constant struggle of productivity VS waste of time. However, how can one put limits on life’s little joys. Why do I feel like I need a purpose just to write? As if having love forContinue reading “The Unwritten Sin”
Beyond the Horizon
I wonder what is just beyond the horizon. Just beyond what my eyes can see. Is it as magical as they make believe. Or was it just a way to keep us disconnected and busy. When you can not believe the media or things people say. When you can not believe science and what theContinue reading “Beyond the Horizon”
Looking Glass
I look into the reflecting glass. A part of me still sees my past.Another sees the parts that last. Some features are familiar, some are not. Subtitles lines of battles fought. Choices I made and those I did not.From the looking glass I can see.Only what my mind can perceive. In my own reality.
Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow
There once was a kitten named Nimrod. He was tiny and a bit odd. He would meow and meow for hours on end. His mama wondered when he would run out of wind. He never did. He talked and talked from day till night. Sometimes even in his sleep, it was quite a fright. OnContinue reading “Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow”
What Once Was, Will Be Again
Quietly my heart aches for a place I once knew. A place where I will return again made a new. Standing in His grace, back where I belong. My heart, my home, I perpetually long.
Whispers of Remembrance
To my beautiful daughters, In a world full of evil at every turn.Don’t forget the wisdom you have learned. Remember to put God at the center of all you do. No matter what He will bring you through. God gives you discernment for you to use. Sometimes that means some we lose. Count your blessingsContinue reading “Whispers of Remembrance”
