While walking on a sunlit road,
unburdened by a heavy load,
a detour rose before my eyes
so steep it seemed to pierce the skies.
so steep it seemed to pierce the skies.

Prayer: A Shelter to the Soul

I do have the faith to be healed.
How does God weigh our prayers
if the outcome is sealed?
Are we asking amiss to
petition our bliss when
the Lord’s will has not been revealed?

My roots are planted,
but they’re running fallow,
too shallow for the work
I need to do.
Life Hurts. Love Heals.

Life hurts. Love heals.
God allows us all the feels.
Hardship rains down on our hearts –
clouds our vision, stops our starts.

2025 is here, the new year
looking less than bright.
A dark path looms before my eyes;
my heart is longing for more light.
Power to the Patient!

Courage comes more easily,
when you still have a choice.
How can you show up brave if
you don’t even have a voice?

Is everyone here filled with dread,
or am I the exception?
These people seem too tranquil for
Oncology reception.

I woke up with one thought today,
one bracing bit of spirit wealth:
In life, there is no gift more sweet
than the freedom to be yourself.
