Life Partaken

Willing to admit
Life is difficult, can hurt,
But brave the storm surge,
Even when it is draining
The strength of every muscle.
Stifling those voices
Declaring all effort failure –
Living, judged worthless;
Rejecting embarrassment
When considered mistaken.
Remembering each
Victory and happening
Received cheerfully,
Believing more will occur
To offset the constant pain.
Being a human,
A fight, beginning to end,
Worth every teardrop;
Known as an overcomer
With God battling beside.

Ouvre Vous

On Thanksgiving Day
There is the reminder to
Look around, clearly
See, all the wonders accrued
During times and times again.

When blessing others
Sometimes the blessing returns
More than expected;
But giving, sharing, becomes
A way of being, living.

Every moment is
A gift irreplaceable,
So best spend each in
Gratitude for the graces
Lent, then more carefully spent.

So, as the Season
Ambles in, hearts turn again
To know the Reason,
The Gift for every person,
The Savior, Christ Jesus, King.

Discovery

The verdict is in; my Galaxy S8 does not require replacement. The battery has expanded and prised the back apart from the front. My guru can fix it, so that is one colossal expenditure I shall avoid. Thankfully my OtterBox has kept it together thus far. Another week of weirdness should be all the phone gives.

I get the feeling
Your hands touching, soothing me
Practiced perfectly,
My reaction is in kind,
Relatively well-balanced.


I cannot tell you
I do not know all the words,
For his meaning, see.


Love is no vague tale,
It is solid as the selves shared
With the two of us.


Sometimes you win all,
Others you lose more than ought
Fortunate are times
When you discover graces
You never dared to think real.
