Should I persevere?
Do I continue to hit my head against a hard brick wall?
Or is it better to just give up?
If the path before me is leading to a blank dead end, where to find another?

Two’s a Crowd
I can’t breathe
I can’t move
I can’t speak
I can’t be
I need room
I need solitude
I need quiet
I need space
Queen of Katwe
I took myself and my kids to see the Queen of Katwe this evening. Beautiful, fresh, uplifting, inspiring movie! Must-see xo
Where is the Victory?
Looking back and
Looking forward
Searching everywhere
Seeing all my
Missteps and failure
Bringing sorrows,
Desolation and despair
I don’t understand
Don’t see the reason
What happened
To lose my way –
Where is my victory?
Dawn
Surrounded by night
The morning dawns
My dreams awake me
From tired yawns
I may be weak
I might be wrong
But your endless love
Makes me strong
Where is God?
He’s in the flowers and the roses and the sunsets and the sunrises and the birds singing in the morning and in puppy dog eyes and in giant golden leaves.
And in hearts.
Silent Echo
I wrote this in April 2015. Not quite sure what I meant by a silent echo. But that’s what I wrote at the time. Maybe it alludes to being unheard? I’ll go with that 😊
Agony
I guarded my heart
For I knew
That if I allowed him in
I would grieve forever
It took him a mere glance
To turn the key
Look inside
And walk away
Leaving my heart unguarded –
Forever loving him
And my life in agony
Suffocated
I lost myself
A long time ago
I look around
To see a void
Where is the child I was
The girl I knew?
Buried beneath pain
And death –
Suffocated
Faded
Our hearts are filled with with stories people tell
Our vision infused with their lives and their love
And one day we find they have been taken from us
Leaving only memories as a faded note
That they lived and we loved them
For a short while they were alive as we are now –
Our own stories will touch younger hearts
As our hearts were touched when we were young
