MOTHER
This poem is about a woman trying to serve her family while the demons of the past haunt her. They spoke death and doubt to her. She mustered up the strength to raise a family in the midst of the mental onslaught with her Redeemer by her side.

CASTAWAY
Behind the eyes of a castaway Lies the heart of a seafaring maid Born for the great wide open Shipwrecked in fear and shame Her heart dreams of sun dancing on water Like before, when she was sure and brave Now, buried in regret and sorrow That speaks down to her hope in this fray Tempted to give up the ‘morrow While she struggles … Read More CASTAWAY
THE LONELY
Turbulent Ocean Tossed about sea The sound of the heart Inside of me Seething and sighing Through night and Through tears The sigh is deafening The lonely is a prison sentence And I hold the pardon This is the only home I know Alone Unknown Bowing to a whim That’s not my own I can see me On the other side of decision Me … Read More THE LONELY

One of the Biggest Battles I Fight! (A Personal Disclosure)
One of the greatest battles I fight is getting my mind off myself and onto others. How about you? My days are consumed with my job, my bills, my family, my significance, my health, am I doing all I can do….and the list goes on and on. There is only one common denominator in all these thoughts. ME! YUCK! I hate it. I am … Read More One of the Biggest Battles I Fight! (A Personal Disclosure)
