Hope

Sparkley white glistens, falling from the sky
Whispering words of wisdom, across a darkened night
Pure. More so than sugar cane
Makes a winter scene
Covering, hiding, blundering
Breathing in deep
Snow.

I Wonder if the Neighbors Notice

Over the summer the light blue car disappeared. It visits maybe once a week, for sure every other weekend. Sometimes I wonder if the neighbors have noticed.
I wonder if the neighbors notice how dad's car isn't parked in our driveway anymore. How I park on his side instead. Have they put the two together?
I wonder what the neighbors think. I wonder if the neighbors notice.

Sunny Day Love

It's a sunny day love that gets me out of bed
With the light streaming through my windows, dancing shadows across the floor
It's a sunny day love that makes me smile
With the windows rolled down, hair whipping across my face
It's a sunny day love that makes me sing
With a guitar in my lap, notes pouring from the page
It's a sunny day love that makes me feel like a hippie
With green and gold beads dangling from my wrist
It's a sunny day love that makes flowers shimmer like rain drops on a crystal
It's a sunny day love that passes through each person I greet
It's a sunny day love that lifts my head
It's a sunny day I love♥

Freedom Found in Forgiveness

There is a freedom found not in being forgiven, but being forgiving. It is hard and difficult to forgive. I always though of it as giving in and letting the "bad guy" win. I though forgiving someone meant giving that person permission to hurt you again, but I am learning.
Forgiveness means letting your love shine through the hurt. Forgivness means leaving the past behind. To forgive someone is to love them and that is not always easy. Maybe we are too proud.
There is a freedom found in forgiving someone. It is as if your burden has been lightened. It is an understanding of yourself. You have done your part, the ball is in their court.
Forgiveness is not begging for them to say sorry. A sorry is not needed to forgive someone. Forgiveness is not admittance of wrong doing. It is a letting go, a step towards peace.
There is a freedom found in forgiveness. A freedom we should experience over and over again. You can never forgive too much.

Blessed

Amidst this situation, so lost and confused
I'm hurt beyond admittance with nothing left to lose
But underneath the surface of what I must face
I am blessed
During times of trouble, when you're deepest in despair
Those who really love you, show how much they care
And even though the certain one that brought me half way here
Is gone without a single trace, denying every tear
Still
I am blessed

Ok

Can I talk to you please, how did I know

That the words that flowed would hurt so bad?

It was like a slap in the face, then I woke up

He said I'm sorry it hurts, He said I'm confussed

Was it something I did? No it was something I said

I just thought you cared

Now I know the way you feel, is not the way I hoped it would be

Why was I so blind? It's not like I couldn't see

Then I realized it's ok, if you're not the best for me that can only mean

There someone, somewhere, and someday I will meet

And fall in love the way it's meant to be

I was embarrassed, why did I say

You kept asking if everything was ok

When I told the truth, you turned away

You didn't really wanna know, and you didn't know what to say

You said you care, you said I'm sorry from the bottom of my heart

So if nothing more ever works out, I'll leave it to you

No regrets, no hurt feelings, everything is ok

For one more night, I wish you'd ask me to stay

But for now I want you to know, everything's ok

The Promise of Some Day

Some day you will see things differently
Some day you will find that what you desire is not left behind,
Some day you will understand the questions
Some day is a promise of things life holds for you
Some day is not too far away
Some day is soon
Some day you look forward to, it keeps you staying strong
Some day is your future, a reach with in the length of you arm,
Some day all your dreams, hope and goals can come true
Some day is not something you should dread, but something to look forward to
Some day is a promise, like a rainbow in your future
