The Grace of God

I am not strong

I have no strength of my own

I was so frail 

Lamed by my realities...

When I was in my saddest pit 

When I could not even

lift my finger 

It is the grace of God

that helped me up

Teaching my heart

a moment at a time 

on how to breathe...

Believe...

Many 

Are going through the same

All sorts of pain

Agony from loss

Life has lost meaning 

Yet...

We must learn to breathe 

Even for another day

In each day at a time...

Believe...

God's grace will lift you up

And will lead you through...

If Only

If I could only touch the skies 

I would paint the colors of my rainbow

with all the hues of hope...

If I could only pluck 

the moon and the stars 

to light up my darkest nights

with all my might I would...

If I could only tell time 

to stay...

If only God 

will change my reality...

I Dared...

I took a glance at hope...

My heart leaped in gratitude

to see some hues of greens...

Oh how comforting moment 

to see a glimpse

though deep within 

I wonder if it is within my reach...

I paused to hold my breath

braced my heart

again I dared to look at hope 

finding out

once again 

my heart ripped off

as before my eyes

hope faded away once more...

In Hopelessness

What is hope

for the hopeless?

Where is hope

in hopelessness?

Hope is the most wonderful thing

a hoping heart can ever have...

Hoping in hopelessness 

is the painfullest agony

of a hopeless heart...

In Your Will

To breathe in your will

To live your will...

To breathe in my truths 

To live in my realities...

Though through all the pain...

Though through all the tears...

If Only God Willed

If only God willed

Things could have been well 

If only God willed

I need not shed a tear

If only God willed...

Yet I will always believe 

that all that God willed

are always what's best...
