careers aren’t mentioned
in the bible
but children are
they’re gifts
from God

“Prayer Bucket”
there’re just some things
that hurt my heart
are out of my
control
those moments when
prayers said
seem so
small
and prayers answered
are huge
words
poured out like rain
held inside
every tear
so many struggling
if only I could
help them all
if only I could
support them
it’s hard to keep going
when all seems lost
it’s hard to find value
when you don’t know your worth
this poem in code
could be for many
God help
them all
“BE the Change”
sometimes
the atmosphere changes
instantly
sometimes
you have to return
again and again
releasing
what you have
inside
until
those around you
change
from
breathing in
the atmosphere
“God’s View”
no matter what I’ve done
You’ve watched me
waiting
to share Your Love with me
waiting for me
to share my love with You
such a Gentleman
such a Savior
such a Valentine
“Background Music”
right now
I share a room with
my kids
so as I read
my bible
I hear their breathing
of deep sleep
I’ll miss that
different rooms
different state
different normals
but my excitement
overrides
the missing
I’m so excited
to be in this
new chapter
this new book
pages lined with
love
adventure
discovery
will people miss
the struggling
the loneliness
the barely-making-it
words
there’s no telling
some like to read about
pain
some like to read about
love
some
don’t see a difference
every day
is only the beginning
of what you make of it

“Braided Life”
no longer twisted
but woven
throughout
living
resting
working
