Winter

Winter has arrived bringing its fury; It’s cold, it’s wet the snow is our blanket

Winter is so dreary, it brings about sadness; The sadness no one wants yet it comes any way

Winter can be and almost always is depressing; It’s hard to get through when there are so many bleak days ahead

Winter seems like it will never end; The days merge one into another

Yet one day, the single piece of grass pops through; The green against the white is quite a sight to behold

Today…

Today is a day I have been dreading Today is a day that sucks Today is a day that I wish had never come Today is just hard Today is just painful Today makes me think too much Today makes me relive the past

I wish I could go back somehow I wish I could go back any way possible I wish there was a time machine to take me back I wish there was a way I just simply wish

Today is a day that makes me sad Today is a day that makes me cry . . . → Click Here To Read More: Today…

I will always remember Mari’s laughter, trust, and innocence.

I will always remember Mari’s favorite foods.

In the context of the 23d Psalm, “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,” I picture death saying:

Who is that running through my valley? She is supposed to walk!

And why is she laughing? She is supposed to be in fear!!

What magic marker? Where did she get a magic marker? What do you mean it won’t wash off? I have . . . → Click Here To Read More: I Will Always Remember Mari…

M is for the Most loved little girl you could meet. M is for Mischievous as she climbs out the window to go dancing in the street or to climb on the roof to dance her little heart out. M is for Meaningful in showing us what life is really supposed to be all about. M is for Magical for that sparkle she seemed to always have in her eyes.
