Seasons of Pain

I have had my share of pain 
I have lived through anguish ,
Despair  and heartbreak .
In these moments  ,
I have felt the presence
And comfort of God .
Unlike any other times
In my life .
When those experiences pass,
I sure am thankful for the peace .
A part of my misses 
The closeness I felt to God 
In my seasons of pain .

Oh What Could Happen

I have spent many years 
Of my life 
Preparing myself for what could 
Go wrong .
But now I leave room 
In my heart 
For what could go beautiful right .
Now that I am much older  ,
Every day holds something 
To be thankful for .
Even if it is just the air I breathe ,
Or the sun on my face 
As I just sit  outside by myself .
I know gratitude does not have to be grand ,
It lives in the little moments 
That make my life beautiful .

When I Look Around

I know love grows
After someone dies .
Everyone should feel that they 
All have a beautiful soul .
Never take anything for granted .
I have discovered some strength
In everyone I know .
I can breathe into a smile 
Then cry .
When I look around I can learn something .
I want to aspire to inspire 
Some people and children before I expire  .
                                        I Love You All

One Smile

One smile is a symbol 
Of hope and strength .
One smile is like an umbrella
And in a special way 
Covers you on a bad day .
Remember when you smile 
You are somebody's reason 
To smile .

Scars

Your scars make you who you are .
One day the scars
Will become memories .
You have always been in my heart
Since we have been apart .
Never forget that in the difficult 
Moments of life  ,
That is when God is closest .
                            I Love You All

Time Goes By

In a blink of an eye
Life will change 
In so many ways .
Years ago we were all a family .
Everyone looked out for everyone .
We played and drank together .
We need to get back together 
Like the good old days 
And take care of each other 
Instead of breaking each other down .
We all may be broken down .
Over time 
But we need each other more .
Remember we all are like broken 
Crayons ,
When a crayon brakes 
There is still color to share with everyone .

Life Is Ironic

At my age today 
I know it takes sadness
To know happiness.
Each day is a new blessing .
It takes noise to appreciate silence .
Oh the memories I have created 
Will always stay with me .
Oh how time flies by .
A lot of things in my life 
Will eventually fade away .
One day I may be just 
A memory to my grandson.
I hope he remembers me 
As someone who deeply loved him .
I sure know life is ironic, my boy .
