Just a tad overdramatic...aren't we?

When the heart breaks

Tears become unstoppable

Hope dries up

Clouds descend and linger on

When trust is shattered

All light disappears

And memory becomes shadow

A dagger to love

When despair takes hold

Life loses its luster

Time has no meaning

And joy is a mockery

Deserted and forgotten

Alone in misery

Near to giving up

So sad

In case one may forget

 

My Grandmother's favorite movie was the Sound of Music.  In honor of my Grandma I would like to share a few of my favorite things about her.

 

Great sense of humor and chocolate lover

Kind hearted friend and a feisty grandmother

Strength of character she always brings

These are a few of my favorite things

 

Bowls of granola and piping hot chili

Adept at sewing and laughs when we're silly

Enjoyed the theater, those with talent to sing

These are a few of my favorite things

 

Made you feel welcome and led by example

Hugs at the door with her goodies to sample

Her impact resounds, listen as it rings

These are a few of my favorite things

 

When the heart aches

When the tears fall

When we're feeling sad

Simply remember these favorite things

And then you wont feel so bad

Hanging on to hope

Sure in the silence

despite impending violence

To thee we grope

for life and hope

And without your power

all is lost and devoured

We lay these woes at your feet

and humbly ask you to defeat

Those foes of wholeness and health

that overtake with cunning and stealth

In the long darkness ahead

guide and protect us from being misled

Give sweet dreams and strong assurance

lest sorrow and doubt test our endurance

Calm fully the burdened mind

and peace, help us each to find

Gone again to a world not my own

 

"My Love" By Sia

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, you have found peace
You were searching for relief

You gave it all, gave into the call
You took a chance and
You took a fall for us

You came thoughtfully, loved me faithfully
You taught me honor, you did it for me

Tonight you will sleep for good
You will wait for me my love

Now I am strong 

You gave me all
You gave all you had and now I am home

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, leave you blind
My love, look what you can do
I am mending, I'll be with you

You took my hand added a plan
You gave me your heart
I asked you to dance with me

You loved honestly
Did what you could release

I know you're pleased to go
I won't relieve this love

Now I am strong 

You gave me all
You gave all you had and now I am home

My love, leave yourself behind
Beat inside me, I'll be with you

Fast approaching my moment of clarity

Make Me Moonlight

 

Sometimes life is so hard

How do we last each day without weeping

God you spread strength among us

and we don't realize it is there

until something overcomes and we see

I know I can't understand it

but now I sense part of that mystery

some eternal comprehension overwhelms me

and in the night I am broken before you

lost and seeking your truth

but I don't know the questions to ask

Oh Lord my heart is full

and my tears overflow

time and changes seem so frightful

and make me timid and yet

somehow more brave- because I know

only you have the answers

and I know you love me and hold me close

Please calm my mind and quiet my soul

make me moonlight

a reflection of the Son.

 

 

Every girl has a lost path

Last night we walked arm in arm

beneath spring moonlight and early evening stars

Something about you speaks to me

Words of promise, words of hope

I can't deny it

And I don't want to

My request is patience, a moment of trust in time

If you give me the chance

If you find it in your heart

Something about you speaks to me

I ask for the gift of grace, an unearned reward

In return I give my greatest effort

Ask for more, and it may be yours

But that is for the future

For now, something about you speaks to me

Digging up the past

Its a cold January night
But the stars are out
And instead of losing hope
I'm filled with star light

It's not intense and bright
Rather its soft and eternal
I feel its guidance
Yet without being demanding

Star light is noble
Easy to be ignored
Still deeply inspiring
If you haven't notice lately

look up
