Now I See the Face
There is something beautiful About lovely words that touch the heart Words that true love does impart Kindness of strangers, stranger yet still That I have never seen them And yet hope I will. Music rings in my ears with power and praise And I pray daily for God’s true grace Here’s hoping for aContinue reading “Now I See the Face”
I had Crush on someone who had Crush on me. — Track2Training
At the point when you see somebody and have an alternate response to them, you are growing. This is the crush who illuminates you that you are growing. You’ll never forget those times when you were being incredibly stupid and acting strangely. You may now giggle as you recall such events, but they were priceless.

Thank You
What I choose to see Is the beauty And the pain drifts away On a summer breeze The music in the whispering trees Brings sight to my eyes For that’s what I please Let’s start to tease The rhythm and the melody In the voice you shared with me Were true tender sounds That aboundsContinue reading “Thank You“

I am a slow learner though, and it took me more than a decade to understand what he did for me, andContinue reading “Wakey Wakey (cont.)”
Vital Force
There’s something to be said for starting the day with a song. For me, I listen to the birds in the trees and the busy buzzing bees and I know there is a good world out there. I want to be part of it. “Look, look, look,” she said, pointing at a pair of fledglingContinue reading “Vital Force“
Wakey, Wakey
Years ago, she sang her lullaby in a voice reserved for when she wore the vampire costume at Halloween. Wow, and to think, I let her look after my babies for one week while I took off on a southern vacation with my husband, another one of her kind. My poor babies, innocent, still formingContinue reading “Wakey, Wakey“
