In Pursuit

In Pursuit

In pursuit I chased
but In got disengaged
from the ordering of my mind.
I looked for a sign
it did not come
so my sign I made
But ended up dismayed
When my sign led to a dead end.
I ran and ran
then ran some more
to find a home secure
but instead I ran through an open door
and ended up on a desolate moore!
Then
from the corner of my eye
now here's my sign
though I
but look here
it was a big black fly!
So now I roam
far from home
my pursuit now quite noisome.

This Thorne

This Thorn

It is perfect
This thorne in my side
at first I denied to smile
Through this thorn
in my eyes.
The wait is long
now I cannot see
my hope grew strong.
So to God I sing
a new song
Now I know
where I belong.
Since I surrendered
I can sense this great love
the plans I had for me
no longer convinces me
Now it is His great plan
that qualifies me.

Recall Greatness

Recall Greatness

Let's recall greatness
those who stood the test
of time.
They require no trophy
they services carry no fee
because they did it with love.
Love
selfless love.
They did all so we today can stand tall
Their reward cannot be found here
it resides above 
where only the sincere ones gather.
Let's recall greatness that does not care
for that small portrait you prepared
for them to sit in.
No they broke the glass
because their dreams surpassed
everyone's greatest imagining.
Let's recall greatness
as they stood in the dark
and shone and shone
so we could see our own light.
Let's recall greatness
for they sought treasures not trophies.
All Greatness comes from God

Your Walk

Your Walk

When you begin your walk,
you will know who you are,
you will be who you are,
and give of who you are.

When you begin your walk,
the least will be great
in your heart,
you will forget your fairy dreams
and live in your steps,
real dreams.

When you begin your walk,
you will know when to wait
and do what must be done,
before it is too late.

When you begin your walk,
you will honour those at your gate,
for they are your fate,
they will make you great.
For to build them up 
is to be graced 
with an overflowing plate.

Caterpillar to a Butterfly

Caterpillar to a Butterfly

Look at me move
whoa
I move so fast.
No one can stop me now.
I believe I can fly.
nimbly I move 
from tree to tree
Oh my this is sweet!
I eat all day,
everyday
and there is nothing you can say.
I am a master 
an expert you see
There is nothing better 
than what I am called to be.

But suddenly
I get tired
and must rest.
So in my cocoon
I make my nest.

But as I wake 
look up and stretch
I feel my body has reset!
Where once I was long and around
glory be! 
That catterpillar cannot be found!
In its place I now have wings!
And guess what?
They flutter, flop and sing.
Now I can move at lightening speed
Oh this is so much more fun!
Oh yes indeed 
this is a dream!

This is Your Healing

Cry
fall and break.
Lie still and shatter
but keep going.
Wallow in the mud
so you don't drown.
Never stop swimming
you don't need fins
not wings
you just need to keep moving.
missteps do not dismiss
your steps.
Get it together and wipe your tears. 
Then go again.

Four Seasons

Four Seasons

September is when I, 
find myself.
October is when I, 
know myself.
November is when I,
 establish myself.
December is when I,
Commit myself.
With each season
a little more
I Am myself.
