Love you all! 

JHC

Your father works
the dog barks
I sit
restlessly

waiting
for that free
breath
of there

I know that there
is a temperament
vastly changing

but as our lives are slowly
ranging
to include more
and less

I can't help but feel so blessed

to know the little I do
of the little
infinite you

a kick here
a kick there

already my heart swells beyond compare
and yet the Lord has so much more in store

oh this beautiful thing we are waiting for...

you
handsome, kind hearted, strong

you
Christian, lover of good, calm

you
funny, creative, adventurous

I am so inexplicably
with every moment passing
ready for this!

His song ( :

Sharing You

Simply walking by
Saying "hi,
Do you need help?"
A family
With a cars hood propped and being examined

You wouldn't believe what happened...

They said "no
But thank you so much
That is different"

Different that I am white
And stopped

My heart dropped
Spun and broke in two

Oh Lord, what can we do
To show everyone love
All that you made
And to show you don't care about our color shade

Rather you made us all
Piece by piece
Before our eyes saw the light
Surely you had foresight
To make us right
And so why, do those who are white
Seem to gleam? To rise above
While other shades of skin
Are skirted
of opportunities
and of love

Lord,
This cycle please don't bless
It truly is a bloody mess

And not of you

Your love is true
And not condoning
Of others owning
Preference

We are Your beloved
"Red and yellow black and white"
We are all most definitley
Precious in Your sight

May all of this one day be right

Here in the land of the living
May more hearts be giving

Of You...

On Sandwich Parchment

thoughts bounce
quickly to renounce
and pounce

      on a prior fragment

what it meant
and what it means
till we wipe the slate clean

a good preen
a great fix

but what am I in all of this
but the one-
a mess
yet His

and in a frantic
flurry

in a storm of worry
things hurry
till

stop

"hop
onto this train"
He says
as He grabs my hand
& pulls me aboard

[the one who makes
and is never bored]

and off I go
never to know
how He made this miracle so
only to trust
as I must

this peacefulness might bust!
until...

I'm stuck
in the muck
of the Charlotte come and go

s l o w

light after light
my delight
becomes
buzzing

mind wandering
fuzzy

oops!

almost crashed
how long will this last?
till I'm there

oh what an affair
when my heart can only care
about home:

my loves
and things deep and extraordinary

and so I carry these thoughts
till the peaceful train is brought

breathe and receive
my saviors burden.

amen, amen, amen.
