Out Of The Darkness
Things are not always clearer, even after you've stepped out of the darkness.I wake on my left side, shivering from the cold. I fumble for the comforter but come up empty-handed.

By Your Side
Living a lie and the toll it takesLonely nights,by your side;Lying embraces,painful to hide;Hollow moments,spent in tears;Tenderness gone,for many years.
Fading Ink - A Mother's Memoir
Though the ink has faded with time, the memory will always remain sharp and clear.It was Halloween weekend, just a little over two months before Katy passed away and we were spending it in one of Katy's favorite places.

If you ask me who I love, this is what I'll say;The man whose love for me, grows deeper every day;The man who knows the thoughts, deep within my mind;The man who can be so stubborn, but is more often so very kind;This man calls me his Little Bird, I call...

Dinner on the pier,A stroll along the sand,Stop to watch the sunset,Standing hand in hand;Casually, he leans over,Asks, "Babe, would you likeanother date like this?'Before I can answerhe softly kisses me on the lips.
Such a load she had to bear, unbeatable pain was always there;She was so brave and dignified; despite it all, she seldom cried;When told she wouldn't make it through, she insisted there was more to do;She wasn't ready to give in yet; stronger chemo was he...
Center Stage
Acceptance is the key to win the war on hate.Love comes in many forms, more than meet the eye;Some are quite accepted, while others vilified;But who are we to judge, what we do not know?The feelings of the heart are beyond what we control;I empathize with any, who must live with the plight;To love w...
Jesus leads me through the darkness into the light of day; If holding my hand is not enough, he carries me all the way; He always knows just what I need in times of joy or sorrow; So, I'll follow him day to day, as he lights the path of each tomorrow.
When I lay me down to sleep,the worries of each day will keepupon a shelf within my mind,to be settled in their time,and if I'm called before I wake,I know the path my soul will take.
To Love ...Is to share the good and the bad,the joy and the sorrow,sad days and the glad;To Love ...Is to give again,to please and to pamper,such joy it will bring;To Love ...is to forgivethe large and the small,instead of recall;To Love ...Is to lose som...
