Reflections from the corner

18 Dec 1996 to 14 Sept 2008

DID YOU WONDER?
I kissed your sweet face
Saw your trusting smile
Saw the love reflected in your eyes
And wondered all the while

Did you really know what you were missing?
Did you wonder why you couldn’t talk?
Did you wonder why you weren’t like othe… Continue

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
How wonderful the Fathers love for you and me.
How abundant if we would only see.
We are like the blind man Jesus healed.
His love and mercy to him were revealed.

So too for us, we are blind.
We see others needs and frailties but pay them no mind.
You gave us childr… Continue

FRAGILE WINGS
Watching the birds fly so high
On fragile feathered wings
It seems they touch the sky
Do their spirits within them sing?

I watch them as they float so free
Without a seeming care in the world
Soaring ever higher to Thee
With wings and song unfurled

And though my body is bound to earth
My spirit soars as the birds do
As I lift my prayers with all I’m worth
In petition and praise to You

Coming before my Father’s throne

A feeling of faltering as I run this race
Wondering where did I go wrong
Not feeling very strong

Like waves in a storm crashing in
Trying to shake my faith in God
To make me forget the paths He trod

And as the tears course down
I remember my Lord wore a crown
Which He lay aside to com… Continue

ARE YOU HERE?

Are you here Lord?
I feel so alone
Sitting here with no one
Keeping watch
Why do I feel so?
Why does it seem so lonely
I can only watch
I can do nothing, but…
I feel so helpless
Need someone to talk to
Wish someone could sit here too
To hold my hand
To hold me when I cry

I am so worried
Not knowing what will be
Will my little boy be ok?
So afraid for him
Seeing him so out of it
Machines doing everything for him
How much more can he take
Are You here with him?
With us?

Yet, in my… Continue
