Questions
If an ant eater was called a bee eater would he still feed off of ants?
If my husband had chose another, would he have ever met me by chance?
Would the sky still breathe tomorrow if I failed to look upon its face?
Would the sun still light up the horizon, if I never moved from this place?
Would this bed stop spinning circles, if I got off this merry go round?
If a tree falls in the forrest If I wasnt there would it make a sound?
If a whale swallowed me like Jonah would I live to tell the tale,
Or would I end up in a tuna salad scooped up on a piece of leafy kale?
If my eyes never opened up tomorrow, in the morning light.
Would there be a Heaven to which my soul would take off in flight?
The most bizarre of questions. Are there really answers to?
I dont really know, thats why Im asking them to you.

Street signs
Main st. What a drag...
It takes me to work everymorning.
Henderson routes me to shopping, restaurants, and everything else.
I avoid the Westhill cut-through because of the school zone and mr. Motorcycle cop who watches every move i make.
15 mph is a little too slow and makes me run late.
The Williams st redlight drags on for days.
I could write a whole grocery list, waiting for it to change.
Always through sonic for my morning cold brew.
And on to the office.... its what each day I do...

Poet
I play my role to my best.
Its clear my pen is put to the test.
To tell a tale of my thoughts and emotions.
To share my stories, scars, and hearts devotions.
To help others know theyre not alone.
We all have issues of our own.
Sharing my heart, love, joys, and pain.
Stirring others emotions, joys and disdains.
My goal is no more than to give out a part of me.
That only my pen and paper could see.
In all this now the world can know who I am.
By the role I play with my pen in my hand.

Fine
Im fine..
I say it all the time..
The facade of joy...
The fake smile that says Im all good.
Im fine...
I say it everyday.
The mask of a happiness...
Im fine...
I say it at the parties...
I say it at the stores...
I say it to my children...
I say it to my spouce...
I say it to my momma...
Im fine...
The undercover agent that walks the earth.
Im fine...
But at the close of each day...
The mask comes off...
The smile is gone...
The lie is over, for today...
The tears can now roll freely.
The chaos in my head returns.
I curl up into my bed...
Im fine, I tell myself...
But my mind knows better...
And my heart aches...
My body is drained...
And I realize again.
Just like every single night...
Im not fine...

Anniversary
My parents 50th wedding anniversary was the last big party we had for them.
It was a happy day and all of the family came to the church to celebrate with mom and dad.
What a huge accomplishment and special day for the two. It amazed me looking at all the kids and how if it hadnt been for these 2 (mom & dad)falling in love and marrying.... How none of these later generations would exist. It all started with them. My parent have always meant the world to me. My dad was getting sickly at this time of his life and passed away not too long after this celebration. So this was one of the last memories we all made with him. My parents will always be a huge part of who I am. I love them both so much and i pray my daddy knew how much i loved him. My momma is still here with me and i tell her i love her every day. Cherish the parties and get togethers. One day there may be some missing from the seats. Hold tightly to your parents and all theyve taught you through the years. You will cherish it all one day.

A Girl
In the midst of her confusion,
As she wallowed in her self pity.
Hurt turned to pain, that turned to darkness.
She forgot who she was.
She let her weaknesses take over.
Allowed her mind to disipate into chaotic thoughts.
Her beauty was fading in the mirror.
Anxiety brought about a mirage of mind created problems.
The joy had left her.
She forgot her strength...
Emotions had taken over the battle.
Fear had pushed her to the edge.
In that moment she forgot WHOSE she is.
The power of WHOM stands beside her.
The out of control thought had diminshed her intoa puddle of hopelessness.
She lost sight of WHO holds her in the palm of HIS hands.
In her mind she was no longer worthy.
No longer the daughter of a KING.
She allowed the enemy to steal her joy, rob her security, and kill her dreams.
She forgot WHO her FATHER is....
She reconsiled herself to being...
Just a girl.

Comforter
You came to me today.
Your presence filled the whole room.
You visited me in my room, as I lay on the floor in a pool of tears.
You calmly sat in silence beside me as I sobbed.
You touched my hair, and I felt peace in Your touch.
My heart was aching so badly, but You told me I would be ok.
I could feel Your Spirit lifting the burden of my pain.
You have visited me before, but Ive never needed You as much as I have right now.
Sometimes I search for You.
In things that I felt mattered so much to me.
They didnt...
I have called out to You.
In times that I wanted my own way.
I couldnt hear You...
Ive struggled to feel You near.
But today, I could barely whisper your name in the midst of my grief, and here You are.
Holding me on this floor.
It seems You have always been with me.
I have just never looked with my heart before.

Meaning of Life
Life is what you make of it.
God has a purpose for each of us and a plan for each one of us.
One he destines us each for.
He gives us free will.
The path we take in life is ours to do what we wish.
However there are consequences to choices we make.
In my opinion, when I stay the course of life I feel is Holy Spirit led, things always seem to work out for the better.
When I do my own thing in life disaster tends to follow.
Gods plan for us is what I believe to be the meaning if life.

Insignificant
If you allow the devil to come in and convince you that your insignificant, you begin to believe you have no worth.
You have forgotten your identity.
Take time with God and He will remind you who you are.
When you spend time with Him you see a little bit of who you are supposed to be.
We are created in His image.

What would Christ say
If he were here
in our modern day and age
Would he be locked up
or called insane
What would he think
of all the war, suffering,
and all the pain
Of the corporations
Fueled by greed
and all their sham's
The wealthy ministers
on private planes
Fleecing their sheep
for monetary gains
What kind of man
would be chosen
in this modern day and age
To be an apostle
of pure blind Faith
Would it be the addict
who has become enslaved
living a life of shame
Would it be the liar and the thief
in their treacherous ways
Would it be the homeless man
whom society deemed
a waste of space
Would he deem mankind
an utter disgrace
Worshipping idols that have no place
So many lost and of little faith
If he were to ask
would you take his place

Longer lasting
I work to
Gain respect
Not seek attention...
For respect lasts way
Longer than attention!

Full Circle
We are born in the
Breaking of the dawn,
As dew settles on
Each blade of grass,
And awakened petals
Eagerly await Heaven's
Morning kiss.
We die in the fading
Of the sun, as twilight
Ushers in the night with
Moon's more subtle glow
And sends out the stars
To sing, in chorus,
A final lullaby.

Being angry at each other
Guaranteed their reconciliation
But sadly this time things were different.

I crushed the flowers,
and burnt the words.
Silenced my heart,
and let the promises go.

Words
Her words.. Were not always to express.. All that she went through....
Sometimes they framed a facade.... To hide a lot underneath it too....
