I am the sea on a moonless night
Calling, falling, slipping tides
I am the leaky, dripping pipes
The endless aching drops of light

I am the raindrop falling down
Always longing for the deeper ground
I am the broken, breaking seas
Even my blood finds ways to bleed

Even the rivers' ways to run
Even the rain to reach the sun
Even my thirsty streams
Even in my ( Read more... )

And you ask me what I want this year
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And designer love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days

So take these words
And sing out loud

I heard about the day You went away
You said You had to go prepare a place

I’m missin’ You
I lie awake tonight and I watch the sky

‘Cause I’m belonging on the other side
And I’m missin’ You

‘Cause somewhere behind those ( Read more... )

I will not pretend to feel the pain you’re going through
I know I cannot comprehend the hurt you’ve known

And I keep looking for a way to fix it all
But we know we’re at the mercy of God’s higher ways
And our ( Read more... )

Kaylee,

I miss you every day.  I know you are in a wonderful place and will never have to know the heartache and pain that this world brings.  And I know I will see you one day and I will get to hold you again and spend eternity with you.  I love you, sweet girl.

With Hope

That is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans ( Read more... )

This is for JBB.   - in my dream you were you.

as a little girl i came down to the water
with a little stone in my hand
and it would shimmer and sing
and i knew everything

in a little while i got steeped in authority
heaven only knows what when wrong
when there is nothing so cruel
than to bury that jewel when it was mine all along
and i'm gonna ( Read more... )

I've spent the day going through all of my scrapbook stuff from the scrapbook business I had ten years ago.  It took me a couple of hours to inventory it all.  I know I didn't make any money from that business.  But it was fun for a few months.  It's probably going to be with same for me with Avon, but was something I wanted to do for a while.  The ( Read more... )
