Night doesn’t last forever
And with the breaking of each dawn
We are promised strength for the day
Everlasting mercy
And the brightest
Of sunlight

Women and Mothers
The older I get, the more I realize how we ladies need strong, supportive women in our lives. I loved my mother-in-law, and after I moved to Sydney, I was ‘adopted’ by my church mother, a wonderful older supportive woman who has since moved away. I miss them both, but very glad for the supportive nurturing love they gave to me.
I am thankful for the strong, kind women I have befriended here on WordPress, and also in my daily life I am focusing on my female friendships. We can bring so much to each other’s lives, all for the better, and we need each other.
Wishing you all a wonderful Mother’s Day! Xx
The Lord, My Guide
Lord, give me strength for this day’s task,
Not for tomorrow would I ask;
At twilight hour, oh, may I say,
“The Lord has been my guide today.” —Nillingham
Strength for Today
Strength for today, my tiny prayer
Strength for today is all I need
Strength for the hours that stare at me
Strength for the seconds that beckon me
Strength for the time I may see you
Strength for the breath of living air
Strength for today, my tiny prayer
Strength, my Lord, please strengthen me
Little by Little
I take back my own power
Growing slowly in strength
I am dreaming new dreams
Until a new dawn appears
And I will be ready
Shining Spirit
I’ve made mistakes
Perhaps a few
I hold regrets
My thoughts subdued
But when I look at you
I marvel at
Your strength of spirit
Shining through
Shining Lights
Every space that we fill
Be it important or small
Every breath that we draw
Be it unplanned or more
Every step that we take
Every act that we make
Moves us closer to be
Shining lights heavenly
Weakness in 6 Words
In my weakness, You give strength
And on a personal note:
I do not write under a pseudonym. My name is my name, and I am writing in a public space. So just to say:
My blog is a place where I allow my soul to express itself. I do not edit very much, if at all. I allow my fingers to type and what is typed, that is what I post. Some of my poetry is drawn from past experiences, life situations, hopes, dreams, desires, wishes. Not all of it is auto-biographical. Or of recent times. It is just what it is. At the moment I am going through a difficult time. Trying to create a new me. And some of the old is hard to let go. It is hard to change. It is hard to create a new something. Whatever that may be.
Thank you for reading ❤
Thorn in my Flesh
Thorn in my side
Wound in my flesh
Testing me
I wrapped myself
In cocoon of love
And breathed
I am stronger
I am growing
I’m alive
