A Precious Letter From A Dream/Nightmare

Little Life
Fragile Life
God Looks On You With Love
Excited For The Future He Has Created
His Desire To See You Live And Love
What He Has Created For You

Little Life
Fragile Life
Rejected By Her Blood
Love Denied By Her Life Force
She Feels The Fear
Yet Does Not Understand

Little Life
Fragile Life
The Lies That Fed
Remove Her From Her Home
Torn Away By Hate Or Doubt Or Greed
Her Chance At Life Cruelly Removed
Before She Ever Saw Her Mother's Eyes

Mommy- If You Would Have Given Me The Chance...
I Would Have Come Into Your Arms
And Asked You To Be My Comfort, My Strength, My Shelter
I Would Have Melted Your Heart, With My First Smile
I Would Have Looked At You, As God Sees You,
Beautiful, Pure, Soft-Hearted, All That Is Good
Maybe I Would Have Lived In Hardship
But I Would Have Been The Gift Of The Father's Love
The Joy Out Of All That Is Ugly
If I Could Have Had The Chance...
I Would Have Reached For You
Given You My First Precious Kisses
Awed You With My Babbling Words
And Filled You With Peace
As I Tucked My Little Head Into Your Neck
I Would Have Shared My First Tooth
Let You Teach Me How To Clap And Wave
And Filled You With Joy As I Learned To Crawl
Maybe You Couldn't Have Raised Me,
But Maybe I Could Have Been The Answer To Someone Else's Dream.

I Forgive You Mommy. And I Love You. Jesus Told Me- He Wishes I Could Have Met You, Because He Created You To Be The Amazing Person That You Are. Jesus Is Waiting For You, And So Am I, Here In Heaven. I Hope I Get To Meet You Someday.

This road was not made to be traveled alone.

Remembering Hope

What if there were no future to hope in? Where would I be? It's funny how the idea of what will be is stronger to me in this moment than the reality of what is. In my life- tomorrow brings hope, life, and my love closer. It's what keeps me taking step after step, despite the falls, the cuts, the pain. When I look back, or look at this treacherous ground I am treading, I realize that the things that keep me going are the intangible things. What a gift to remember this Christmas. It's not the presents that wait under my tree that bring life to me, but the hope of tomorrow, of next month, of eternity! Joys wait at every corner, dwell in every day, but on the days when I tread uneven ground, when my heart is heavy and my words are soft... then I remember more than ever that the little gift wrapped in swaddling cloth is the gift of hope, of a future. Christmas Day is merely a way for Hope to sing His song... Remember Me. As for me... I remember. Today. Tomorrow. Next Week. And I rejoice.

Revealed

Softened Words.

Face. Heart.

Tears Crumble

Torn Apart

Veiled Emotion

Stripped. Exposed.

Strong Front

Beheld. Unknown.

This, So Far From Perfect, Perfection.

ADVENTURE keeps us going. Here, a year and a half ago. And we are still on an adventure. I love it. I love him. I love making an adventure out of our life. Love should be like a river that carves it's way to the ocean... no stagnant rules like a lake... no borders like a reservoir. Custom fit your expectations to match your relationship. Everything is better when it's tailored to your needs!
