they say
a picture’s worth a thousand words
but sometimes
I’d rather hear about the picture
and other times
what’s seen in the picture

“Pillow Case”
sometimes
on the outside
I’m a mother
a woman
a friend
yet
on the inside
fighting to smile
counting the tears
falling to my knees
and still be

“When you seek and find God, all the short-cuts to “happiness” become superficial, shallow, and knowingly dissatisfying. You now embark on a journey of seeking & knowing this God that gives life, fullness, joy, and hope.”” – Jessica T.
