Take hold of me
And please hold tight
Protect, guide me
Through the darkest night
Let no harm come to me
Or those I love
This I ask, I ask of you
My sweet love.

My Seeing Eyes
October 16, 2025
I close my eyes
covering up all
I surmise
to be
awful
to
my seeing eyes
Tomorrow when
I open up
my eyes
see the beauty, the wealth
in
all the clouds
the skies
Then I’ll know
I don’t have
to
really close
my eyes
For that beauty
is
all around
whether
they are closed or open
to
these
my seeing eyes.

The World
October 15, 2025
The world
has
come
The world will go
In between
we live
That is
all
we control.

My Heart Cringes
October 14, 2025
My heart cringes
my eyes do cry
for
the times of happiness
gone
passed by
I hope
tomorrow shows
some delight
I hope
I’ll find peace
and
rest quietly
tonight.

I Walk Quietly
October 9, 2025
I walk
quietly with thee
My steps are
light
my mind is free
Quietly
I walk with thee.

You Call Me
October 8, 2025
You call me
I hear
your voice
the soft lilt
such
a quiet voice
I call back
but
you don’t
hear
you have spoken
I know
you’re near
The line is broken
and
it’s not clear
why
I speak
but
you don’t hear.

You Can Be
October 7, 2025
You can be
somebody
You
can be
everything
All you have to do
is
believe.

Quiet Place
October 6, 2025
Chosen
is
a quiet place
to be
Sitting
oh
so quietly
Tomorrow
I’ll move
Tomorrow
I’ll be
The moving force
that
allows
The quiet place
to be.

I Am A Survivor
October 3, 2025
I am a survivor
I survived hatred, anger
things
that made me a victim
I am a survivor
I came through
growing into someone
who understands how it happened
I am a survivor
Only hurt, remorse for those
who inflicted that hatred
that anger
I am a survivor
Have moved forward
built a life full of love, generosity
no hatred, some anger
I am
I am a survivor.

You
October 2, 2025
I feel
warm and cozy
snuggled up
between the two
of
you
Your heart
is
beating
I feel
that
too
Tomorrow we’ll go
for a walk
just us
We’ll walk together
you, me
and
you
I’ll say the words
I feel
I’ll say those words
that are
true
Then
you’ll smile
you’ll leave me
saying
I love you
You’ll be gone
and
I’ll be missing
missing
you.
