Because Love Knows

Sometimes we must celebrate a life which is gone. Life departs and we can grieve, feel loss, and sometimes feel very very sad. Words,can be challenging to express our deepest thoughts. So we give our best wishes, to those who remain behind, fortunate to have known of this beautiful life for a time.

In Memory of You...

I did not know you Sarah

But I knew of you from
The one who wrote of you
The one who felt something so deep
It traveled to my ear
and I did hear
About this strong woman
Filled with a capacity to move beyond mountains
Beyond all the challenges which found their way to you
Never for a moment letting go or giving up
Your life a spirited definition of womanhood
To the point of beautiful heroine
A family's loving pride

I have not had the privilege

to meet you on this earth
To have you smile at me
But I know from your betrothed
That you captured his heart and he did not let go
He held your courage as his own mantle of strength
Your heart, came first
His heart was filled with yours
This earth has seen the magnitude of your love
Blessed with your sons to hold
Your vision to this world

I have never met you

Yet I feel our paths have crossed
Your life and love
Defines and defies life
You took it all
You stayed the course
As you go to your place
Above the sky
Far across the sea, we do grieve
You've left this world
Far better than when you came
It is an honor to have you in memory

We may not have met

But your own love
Shared a story, much bigger than a dream
Forever, mother, friend, lover to the end
I salute you
Your life
and love for family

Life is like a treasure. When you find someone you have found a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. When the rainbow is gone, they leave behind a treasure chest of memories!

Let's Talk... A Love That Lasts

The courage to carry “To have a love that lasts forever, is to truly understand vows and commitment” (Eversley,2016) In all of my forty six years of life I have waited for the commitment of true love. To really believe that there are people in this world who can cherish and care for another romantically has become a faded dream. A dream which has been archived into the fantasy part of my mental library. The love stories of long marriages which are not abusive or filled with indiscretions seem ancient. The new lifestyle sets a pathway to divorces which have become their own academy awards on film. Acceptance of prenuptial agreements and exit clauses are now necessary when thinking of love – whether in a celebrity career or leading a nondescript livelihood. To this end I did weep when I read from a friend and learned of his devotion, marriage and love for his wife. Let’s be real, and understand this is a true ongoing story of endurance, commitment, passion fo...

Reflections - Value Each Day!

Putting a value on time .. I’ve never been able to figure weekends out. I love Mondays. In fact give me everyday of the week and I love them. I love the days because there are so many opportunities and things which are waiting for my discovery! Each day brings something new. For me it may be the same job status, the same car, the same family, the same 24 hours- what makes it different is me. The challenges never change, but my attitude does. I must change to go after my dreams, desires, to fulfill my purpose. I might look the same on the outside, but quite a lot is happening on the inside. I’m dreaming! There is a plan for something more to happen, then it happens unexpectedly and I’m ready! While waiting I’m there seeking out, creating, and finding each day different. Reflection: Enjoy each day Pause, wait, look around and smell the scent of the present you are in. I smell the salt in the sea wherever I am when I pause. That’s my moment of joy. Facing the sun, with t...

A Canopy of Grace

Photo Credits: unsplash.com/Thom Milkovic Drop your canopy O Lord, let it fall on the earth. Let it pick up all the people who are suffering and hurt. Let your canopy be big enough, that everyone can fit, Lord please I beg you, allow everyone to see it. Drop your canopy on the ground O Lord, Because some people cannot look up high For these are the people who love you, and without it may surely die. Drop your canopy dear Lord, for the little children to see Especially, the ones who are impoverished and living in poverty Drop your biggest canopy dear God on the earth Let it be enough, like a berth awaiting vessels to sail A mooring prepared with glorious flair, just waiting For the people to get there. Drop it, just drop it on the earth Drop it because you care. Please let your canopy fall dear Lord, because not everyone can see Let the ones who need it most dear Lord, be covered by its safety. Drop your canopy my Lord and Savior, drop it on the...
