First Walk

I feel alone Lord though I know you are very near
I feel you sitting beside me listening to my prayer
Though this time has come that I must walk in faith
Though this time has come that I may be tempted to walk away
You have taught me much that I may be ready for this day
Lord you are my home my heart my very breath of life
You give all to me you are the strength that breaks through all strife
Lord you have called me into your heart that I may be shown
You have called me into you flock that I may follow you home
I walk now taking my first steps on my own
I am wobbly on these feet these legs now full grown
But I know always that I am not alone
I feel your voice though it is not heard in this present time
I go back to each lesson you taught me for I am no longer young and blind
I must walk with the fullness of your faith to guide me through these days
I will journey on though I may be tired and weak by your heart I am saved
You had mercy for my mistakes you taught me right from wrong
With each lesson learned through your loving fire I have been made strong
I will walk along this path I may even trip and fall
But I know you are looking upon me as I get back onto my feet and persevere to
Answer your call
I may feel slightly lost until I search my heart for your face
I may be a bit unsure of this solitude but I will trust in your grace
I may not hear you presently as you have to let me go
To see if I will stay with you if I will trust in our love that has grown
Now I must walk but I know I am not alone
Into this darkness within this solitude that is only without your voice
Into this deep dark cavern where I must walk by my own choice
I will keep going as I trust you will never leave me behind
I will walk knowing you will in this darkness shine
Although I cannot hear I remember your presence and your word
So although you have sent me onto this dark shore
I will still walk with you in my heart the same as before
You are my Lord I trust you know my hearts strength
You would not have sent me if you thought I would have no defense
I will walk stronger as I make my way back to you
I will walk with this new heart that you have gifted with your truth
I will walk onwards as patiently as I can
I will walk through this darkness and reach out into the light to hold your hand

Who I am

I am a child of God, a wife,a mother, a daughter, a sister,a niece, a cousin. I am an aspiring author. For as long as I can remember I have had a passion for creating, whether it be drawing painting or writing, I have a strong desire to use my gifts each day. I started this blog a few years ago in hopes of sharing my poetry with others. This blog has been a slow labor of love. Poetry is the way my soul speaks to the Lord, poetry is the way my soul laughs the way it cries and the way it sings out with joy. I hope you have enjoyed reading my blog and my poetry as much as I have enjoyed sharing it with you. May God bless you.

Hatred stirs up conflict, but love covers over all wrongs. Proverbs 10:12

Within the heartbeats of a pure love is honesty, within this bond of truth is a friendship. Without reciprocity the blood can not flow between them, the heartbeat is weakened, and if the blood flows weakly the two hearts will slowly but surely die...

Respect,forgiveness,patience, and charity being the four chambers within each heart, work together to promote a strong and healthy rhythm. If the any of these chambers is lacking, the harmony there of is off, the beat being too fast, to slow or greatly weakened is insufficient to sustain a steady flow of honesty...

Gods Lessons

In our sorrow we learn compassion for one-another
In our own inadequacies we learn to be patient with others
In our pain we learn to have mercy upon others

In our weakness we learn to lean on God for strength

Light in the Storm

Randomness of thoughts betray
The leaves they blow on, the trees they stay
The wind blows swiftly as the thoughts quietly evade
Off they go fragments of yesterdays
Time ticks away yet the minutes seem to never-end
Memories of laughter, of family and friends
The leaves blow about rustling in the wind
A faint whisper as If to hush the storm brewing within
A chill in the air as the clouds circle around
A cold rain begins to silently fall upon the ground
Oppressive darkness takes hold in the midst of the storm
A rumbling from deep within takes form
Flashes of anger, and within the light can just barely be seen
Bits and pieces of what used to be
The air is unsteady, the earth drenched in it's tears
The thunder clashing overhead
Intensifying each moment, by the whirling winds it is fed
Looking up as the clouds are violently stirring i scream
there's no end to it, I close my eyes is it a dream?
Just then a tingling warmth and a heavenly glow
As fast as the storm had come it would go
The light had over-come the darkness as it always does
shining in brilliance, it's ever-present and magnificent love
