Some Overdue Gratitude

Today, Dear Lord, I am grateful for/that:

1. My mother, who loves me unconditionally.
2. My daughters, whom I love endlessly and unconditionally.
3. My education, for opening doors in my mind I didn't know existed.
4. My spiritual practice of prayer and meditation each morning with my mom.
5. Above all else, You GOD.

Dear God:  

Today many of our hearts are broken as we try to imagine the enormity of pain these parents in Newtown, CT are feeling, as they wake without their babes.  

There is so much fear and hate in our world and today we need Your love and a divine miracle.  Heal the hearts and minds of each one of Your children.  Heal our hearts Jesus.

Heavenly Father, remove from me any fears and anger; which only stand in the way of me receiving the "sunlight of the spirit."  Bless my beautiful daughters; protect them and guide their minds.  Bless and protect all of Your children Lord. 

Thank You for my amazing life and thank You for loving a sinner like me.  Today, may I give more than I take from this world.  It is I, Lord, standing in the need of prayer.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

Emma

Dreaming of you

Carries me away

On a sea of rollercoasters

At a carnival -for another day

Swinging in my arms

Enchanted by your charms

Your little face

Those eyes

That mouth and that coo

Looking up, trusting

Derailed by a train carrying darkness

Overriding the tracks

Always, always making my way back to you

Emma

I’ll love you forever

I’ll love you for always

Forever and ever

And ever and ever

My baby you will be

Because it’s never over

And I’ll make my way to you

I’ll fight the world for you

Take on an army of demons

With love’s sword

Cutting my way to you

Always to you

Emma

No Sorrow Will Kill The Rose

Pure, her bosom flows

            Of milk.  Sweet whimpers.

Oh how I wish for her love

            Veins flower and flow

Son of mom of lover too.

            Lover and lemon

Sweet shower of summer.

            Whimper, even borrow,

From monks.  Like whores

            From liquors to sours.

Borrow hope’s knife,

            No sorrow will kill the rose.

Food Is Not All We Do at This Table

Here

Here,
Beneath the folds,

In between the lines,

Lay her secrets.

Here.
