Sacredness of tears

"There is sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness but of power.  They are messengers of overwhelming grief and of unspeakable love."

 - Washington Irving

Times of trial

In times of trial, doubt and uncertainty, we need to run towards God, not away.  May your faith forever increase and your fear wash away.

Make sure you are still living in the present, not an uncertain future.

Every step I take

I'm hoping to walk away from this desert

with the strength to not fall apart

and not to look back.

But I'm afraid that with every step I take,

it takes me further away from my heart

and soul...

Disappointment to a noble soul

is what cold water is to burning metal.

It strengthens, tempers, intensifies,

but never destroys it.

If I loved you

If you need me to cry

a thousand oceans

to sail you home

I will mourn

If you need me to oversee

your weary brow

to supply you strength

I will be strong

If you want me to follow

you over summer fields

Be sure that I will run

I will be there

If you need me to remember

I'll give my memory

Of all our love, our path

I will, I can't forget

If you need to find your way

Let me be your light

Your beacon, the safe place

The lighthouse

I will be home.

But if you need to go

I won't keep you from flying

I'll supply the wings

And the wind to carry you.

If I loved you.

Like I do.

Cherished things

To this day,

and I think, forever beyond...

Riding the bus

will remain one of my most cherished things 

Only because

it brings back

memories of you.
