New Year

 Cruising out

Of the year

Leaving disappointment 

Out the 

Rear view mirror

Saying hello

To hope 

And expectant

Peace

2021

Ready 

To meet 

You with

A smile

Glow

 Dancing

as I type

put that

happy face

on

I'm moving

Groovin 

and 

overcast skies

can't dim

my glow

Sweet delight

 Writing is 

much like

making spaghetti sauce

yesterday I cried

While chopping onions

sautéed them

watching them

turn brown

and soften

then i had

to brown meat

thoroughly and completely 

then came 

the sauce

the bright

richness

of aroma

coming together

in color

and consistency

and all 

I could feel

was relief

and pride 

upon completion

the task

seemed

untenable

in the beginning

but at 

the end

i tasted

satisfaction

A sweet delight

Friend

 Remembering 

The places

That soothe 

My soul

And make

Me smile

Walking 

Around

The yacht club

Petting

Every furry dog

That would 

Let me

Being

One

With

My four-legged

Friends

soul

 i had 

to get

back to writing

idle hands

are not

good for

this anxious

i don't know

how things

will work out

I'm projecting

into next week

and what if 

this happens

i don't like

having to go

to Plan B

disability

is coming

into play

when everything

you do

is dependent

on another

control

i want it

but don't 

have it

and its 

making me

insane

having trouble

believing

even when

He proves

Himself

to me

every day

in every way

Merry Christmas

 Merry Christmas 

My friends 

Peace 

To all

Love and joy

As I trust 

In you

My Lord

This beautiful 

Season

mustard seed

 When you 

know the call

you do it

even when

i don't feel 

it's that good

Obeying you

not leaning

on my 

own understanding 

just became 

real in

this moment

so i continue

to be faithful

in the small 

So that

you are glorified

magnified

and revered

May mustard seeds

become the roots

of greatness

for the Lord

who reigns 

supreme

in my heart
