ANOTHER DOOR OPENS

She made humble resolution
w
hen she found out the news
t
ears leisurely rolled down her face

 How must one feel
w
hen they hear those words…
a
ccept them with heavenly grace?

 In one way, she acknowledged
b
y speaking to God with an open heart
knowing her life was not a waste

 Yet, not ready to give up the fight
a
nd passionately shaking her head
s
he was prepared for this unthinkable race

 She trusted God, but, was faintly bemused
(Believing
His way was the right way)
not yet, was she parting
for a higher place

 So with infinite love from her family
With incredible support from her friends

She fought with a smile and embrace

 Though, after some time of following rules
a
nd playing this game with tenacity
h
er body tired and couldn’t sustain the pace

 Thus, saying farewell to her loved ones
She
was given angel’s wings
for her new life of eternal happiness

Another door opens…

In loving memory of family and friends
who have passed away~

Dear God…

I thank You for every day

Each day is a new breath taken

If, at times, my voice is not heard

Please don’t feel forsaken

 

You are not forgotten

You’re in my daily prayers

Moments I should lean on You

The One who resides upstairs

 

It’s effortless in this “busy-ness”

To become extremely diverted

To pointless things needing my focus

And leaving You deserted

 

Still, I thank You for guiding me,

Shining light on my journey’s way

And while I may question the path

From You I will never stray

Amen

FALLING

Here I am
with open arms
I give my love to you

My adoration
and devotion
are from my heart
so true

Mesmerized by
your baby blues
this came as no surprise
with just one look
I was lost
inside your dreamy eyes

Seek no more
for a caring soul
who’ll love you
as I do

We’re meant to be
magically
I for you
and you for me
