THE LIGHT
The world unfolds before my eyes
Though scary as it may be
I see children who need to be loved
Those captive of hate needing to be free.
Unfolds many husbands and wives
Straying to places unknown
But as the Bible clearly says
You will reap what you have sewn.
As it shows a little clearer
Ahead I see the brightest light,
It guides my way as I walk...
As my blindness turns to sight.
Now unfolded, everything
From the brave, the greedy and the wise,
And as I reach and touch the light
It wasn't a surprise.
It filled me full of love and peace
For no matter what unfolds on earth for me
I know where I can find the light
That will always set me free.
NOW
We wander about from day to day,
With thoughts of next week, next year...
We plan trips and hold grudges
Thinking time will always be here.
We wake each morning, grouchy
Instead of proud we opened our eyes.
We want more and more, I know
To me, that's no surprise...
But I can see the fault in it all
I see clearly, I do somehow...
For no matter what you see in the future
All we really have...is NOW!
I dedicate this poem to Becky West, my best friends mother who is losing a battle for life, but my prayers are always with her and her family... We love you 'Becky!!

I FLY AWAY
I fly away when I close my eyes to places only dreams can go...
I see perfect lands and sunsets Then the sun in the morn as it grows...
I fly away to my past when as a child I knew it all,
When mom and dad were always wrong, but would still catch me when I'd fall.
I fly away to imagination to places that could never be,
For when I fly away like that, it's only then that I see....
Exactly where my heart is, my hopes and dreams hold dear.
I fly away each and every night to find another place so dear...
I fly away, but wake again and greet another day,
Until the night when eyes shall close and again, I fly away

I WRITE
I write to show my passion...
I write to show my grief...
I write in the midst of happiness
And to glorify my belief
I write because it was a special gift
Only GOD could give
And he meant for me to use that gift
Every second that I Live.
I Write because it's who I am and who I always want to be...
Following my dreams and never giving up!
