minute she’s going to fan

      Her face and neck.

      Life

      Life is an ember…

      The glowing remains of life

      Through pain and grief and strife

      Breath is its keeper

      A guardian of the soul

      That heal in sleep

      The heart is a boundary

      The gate that will swing wide

      And welcome you inside

      Life to share is all there is

      It need not all ways be the

      Best to shine

      Even in the worst times

      A door with no bay

      A mist through which you

      Could not see.

      Timeless Teardrops

      Tears hide in corners

      Gusts of impulse, I cannot control

      My heart cries forgiveness

      As my mind lets go

      It’s hard to see through

      Our swollen tears

      To fight the passing years

      Along they sked silent tears

      Life-giving words are hard

      To write

      And true devotion to hold

      On tight

      They said, Christmas won’t

      Be the same this year

      Because you won’t be here

      But I know better than that

      You’ll be here in my heart

      Till you come back

      While you serve to keep our

      Country free

      It helps me realize God’s place for me.

      The Miracle of Christmas

      Today is the only day on your calendar

      God’s one eternal worth,

      Hearts gather in the wonder

      Of Jesus’s birth

      We share that feeling of joy

      The arrival of Christmas in our hearts.

      Christmas is a glowing light

      That sets our lives apart

      Christmas is a starry night

      Of joyous angels’ songs

      Christmas is a manger

      Illuminated by stars above

      God’s miracle of peace and

      Hope and love

      Growing Up

      Her resolutions and decisions were forgotten

      Its contents left in a box

      They weren’t important at this time

      She has a specified position on line

      A down payment on becoming

      A grown woman

      What important knowing full

      What she’s doing any giving moment

      She began to grow up

      To fill her cup

      Then she began to learn a new concern

      As if the girl who had gone up

      The hill was a different one,

      Who had come down it.

      Like Pandora’s tempting box,

      Curious to turn the key, that

      Locks new ways to yearn.

      Angel’s Wings

      On angel’s wings you were taken.

      But in my heart you will stay

      All through winter and into spring

      For golden sunrises in the sky

      Sunsets that kiss each day goodbye

      Lights like colorful jewels

      Rain and snow

      Middle of heaven stands a rainbow

      Know the joy of perfect rest

      We know we have been blessed

      On angel’s wings you lifted up,

      And taken to the mountaintop

      To heaven up above

      Protected by God’s love

      Now day has begun

      Dawn awaits the sun

      Glorious breaks the rosy light

      That shines forever bright.
