Beautifully Okay

written by

On almost any given day, I look around and think … I don’t fit; I don’t sync up; I don’t match … 

then I think … maybe that’s okay … there are paths to be made and ones to follow …

both have merit …

dual gifts wrapped by the wise hand of diversity and the compassionate heart of tolerance … 

solo or traveling in the company of others, makes no difference …

you are the difference …

and, that’s beautifully okay.

i heard your stare … and turned around

There are times when I can no longer carry the burden of my shortcomings.

I can only give thanks for your grace.

There are times when I stand in wonder at the life you have provided me.

I can only give thanks for your grace.

There are times when I cry tears of joy for the beautiful vistas you have prepared for all.

I can only give thanks for your grace.

There are times when friendship arrives just in the nick of time and on the cusp of my despair.

I can only give thanks for your grace.

There are times when your glory is the answer and the reason.

I can only give thanks for your grace.

There are times, there are days and there are moments when gifts are left on the doorstep of my life.

I can only give thanks for your grace.

There are times when I do not deserve yet receive love.

I can only give thanks for your grace.

There are times when I heard your stare … and turned around.

I can only give thanks for your grace.

There are times when all I need to do is simply turn around.

I can only give thanks for your grace.

Thank You

Thank You

Thank You

As Intended to Be

I looked into his eyes

and saw a land of enchantment.

I looked into his heart

 and saw a life of contentment.

I looked into his soul

 and saw more than could be told.

I looked into his spirit

 and saw greatness to behold.

I looked into his world

and saw a graceful peace.

I looked into his future

 and saw a grand masterpiece.

Yes …

I looked;

he saw;

and now,

we both can see …

a life as intended to be.

Autumn's Courage

written by

Face west …

and admire the beauty of autumn’s courage;

dance in the twirls of each fallen leaf;

imagine pumpkins dressed in folds of sunlit mysteries.

Face west …

and admire the beauty of autumn’s courage;

hallow the season of white tigers and rustic charms;

soar with this glorious season of splendor and mystic wonder;

winter’s tease has arrived to please.

Face west …

and admire the beauty of autumn’s courage.
