last night
I dreamt about
Nathan
so while I sleep
he’s still here
poetry
“Come Passion”
Jesus knew
a mother’s heart
and even
replaced Himself
before dying
“Retakeology”
I wonder how many times
people retake selfies
until everything’s perfect
hiding everything that’s not
“Possibility”
it doesn’t really matter
what goes on around me
it’s Who lives inside me
that matters
and when I focus on Him
nothing is impossible
“Breath Taking”
there’re certain things
that take my breath away
nature
pictures
attack dogs
missing my son
spiderwebs
laughter
tears
but I always remember
to take it back
“Missing Persons”
every day
I break down
at least once
there’s been this sense of
lack
of responsibility
one less mouth to feed
one less child to wake
less clothes to wash
one less attitude to correct
one less
clearly I found
part of my identity
in being a mom
so if you find that part of me
let me know
“Cosmetics”
if you can’t see your beauty
wear it
all last week
I felt ugly
until Friday
when I wore makeup
maybe it helps
to get “dolled up”
before you go inside
and see what’s wrong
putting on a face
helped me
step through
the looking glass
“Free Therapy”
friends aren’t there
to
solve all your problems
they’re there
to make you laugh
as
you work through them
“Voiceover”
it’s easy to read
and believe
especially when it’s from
a pure heart
but
can
any
one
be
d
e
c
e
i
v
e
d
?
can one
so pure
hear the wrong direction
to follow
if time will tell
it better learn how to talk
