Looking In the mirror
reflecting on the past.
How I often wondered,
how it went so fast.
The opportunities I've squandered.
The blessings I've missed,
while living my life in total ignorance.
Not really understanding how to remain optimistic.
I abandoned my morals and ignored my religion.
But God cast a storm that influenced my decision.
Before you knew it I was at his submission.
He held me tight. Then let me go.
Then whispered to me: "Fear no more".
I got up and knew: right away,
that today was the beginning
of the rest of my days.
With renewed faith
and a sense of purpose
I was able to recover what almost perished.
Now I stand here
Looking in the mirror
admiring my self
Reflection that is.

If a room is 12X12, it is measured in feet
Yards, meters, and miles measure the street
Milk comes in gallons-this nobody questions

DEAR HEART
Did you know?
You are my muse
The flimflam sputter
Of inspiration
The thump, thump drum
Of it all
What is it?
That you
Spring
I hunger for the grace to be reborn,
to take my hurts and failures
and mulch them into new beginnings ;
to turn them
by Collin Jones
I can't stand these feelings
Of always competing
Always pushing for first place
And ending up last.
I don't know why its so
by Helen Joshua
More of Jesus.. and less of me..
Reflecting in my life..,
When some one slap me,
I would ready to get once more.
