When Death Rolls In
Like a slow-rolling fog
leaving mist on the meadow,
or a speeding train
slowing only enough
to collect, and gather,
you come,
leaving those…
I Have Saved Them
God, why did you have to take my loved one from me? My heart is breaking. My child, I do not take. I save. The one you loved has not left you.

Tears Help Heal
It may hurt, but your tears help heal. Tears have a way of making us think of how sad or hurt we are. They help heal us in ways we usually don’t think of.

In the shade of the willow,our secrets we shared;two best friends just sitting,all frustrations were aired. We met at the willow,and smiled as we talked;somehow we returned there,whenever we walked. The willow meant comfort,a safe place to rest;all who walkedContinue reading “I Swung From the Willow”

Yet, I will savour my tearsfor in their releasingcomes a knowing,that I lovedContinue reading “The Tears I’ve Shed”
