no matter what’s ahead
no matter what I’ll go through
I now have someone
to go through it with
and that makes a difference
to be held while crying
to be heard while talking
to be seen while living
to be known and loved
marriage
“Acceleration”
in three days
I was single
engaged

“Never too Late”
God’s Will brought us together
my will tore us apart
God’s Will brought us “back” together
till death do us part

I married Scott for money Continue reading
“Full Circle”
when I think about it
I’m in awe
if only you knew
how many times I said “never”
if only you knew
how I walked the other way
if only you knew
how long he waited
how long he hoped
if only…
you’d understand wholly
what beauty exists
in our love
The Right Protocol
From before I’d left for Texas, I’d wanted to go see Lee and let him know what I was up to but didn’t make the time to tell him, and since I’ve been back, I’ve wanted to give my all to the kids, so yesterday was the day I finally surprised Lee with more than just a visit. Continue reading
“It Takes Two”

completeness in a marriage

“Embracing Discovery”
about love
they said
‘you’ll know’
but I didn’t know
until I knew
for everyone
it’s different
for me
it was a hug
that embraced
my heart
how do you let go
of something so real
I questioned
I cried
I listened to God
and asked my love
to marry me
love is looking
into the eyes of your husband
across the way
wanting to climb over the table
to get to him
but you don’t
because you know
he’s not going anywhere
now I know
and can tell others
‘you’ll know’
and then watch them
not know
until they know
Alternate Endings
December fourth, two thousand and sixteen…a day I’ll never forget.
It was a Friday, and I’d woken up from a bad dream. If I remember correctly, I woke up crying, and it turned out to be one of the most depressing mornings I’d had, and to top it all off, I felt a cold coming on.
You see, during that time, everything was so unsure: the business, my income, our groceries, etc., and the next day, I was scheduled to have a booth at the Rock and had some mixed emotions about THAT. Anyway, it was a tough morning, but I made it through by writing.
If you visit my website, you’ll find a calendar with daily writings. I believe the fourth was some of my darkest thoughts, but by the afternoon, I felt much better, and then, Katie came in.
She said, “Mom, I have something to tell you. I’m pregnant.” Continue reading
