When I look at your creation
What do I see
the bluebird
the deer
or
the darkness
that is ever present
We all have a light
We need to show it
Make your voice heard
in the end
what will be said about you
I lived
I saw
I conquered
the fear that had no rhyme
i found peace
when I stopped looking
I have to trust God
That His will in perfect
I ceased fighting a battle
that couldn't be won
the pain I endured
is something i wish for no one
pain is a necessary evil
sometimes through pain
we find a reason
it molds us
Our character made whole
When pain is made purposeful
Making life matter with meaning

What a gift

To think my ashes could be used for beauty
is something I never thought possible
to experience joy
rather than pain
is quite divine
the thing i consider my burden
is becoming something to embrace
to think I'd write again
be in a place to do so
is a blessing I can't take for granted
i really never or anytime soon
Think I'd come to a place
where I wouldn't be ashamed of how
He made me.
For once, I will not question
Sometimes the greatest gifts
require no explanation
Right now, my heart is filled with a joy
My eyes, tears
Knowing He is there


Thank you!

very happy

thoughts

Good morning!  I hope all is well.  It's been a great weekend.  It's June.  I've been reading some blogs this morning, and I realize there is so much loss, yet so much hope.  All I can say is that Life is short.  Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.  Soren Kierkegaard
I hope you have Hope today!
God Bless,
R
