Maybe it'sTime

“ maybe it's time to take care of yourself.

maybe it's time to scream out loud

that you don't have the answers

and you just plain can't figure out what

it's all about...

but you're in this for the full ride.

maybe it's time to stop doin' the half ride.

maybe it's time to step into it all.

to weep your guts out.

to hurt all the way to your core.

to allow that hurt to be there.

maybe it's time to embrace the love

and believe in it even tho it's not always perfect...

but it is always right.

maybe it's time to shout out to your depths

that you do matter

and you will do all in your power to live healthy.

maybe it's time to stop just getting thru,

just surviving.

maybe it's time to grab the gift you've been given

and celebrate every single piece of it -

including the pain that brought you here.

maybe it's time.

forget the maybe....and know it...

it is time. ”

The Promised Kiss

I saw her from a distance

Her hair was white as snow

A daughter walked behind her

There was love there, I know.

It was rude of me to stare

But I missed my mother dear

This elderly woman touched me

Her voice I wanted to hear.

She walked by ever so slowly

To her daughter I would glance

Your mother is so, so precious

Could I hug her by chance?

She was tiny, delicate, but regal

She wondered what was amiss

But when I hugged her to me

She surprised me with a kiss.

I told her of my mother

I am sure I was a sight

Rambling words so revealing, but

Those mother's eyes held me tight.

She told me not to worry

Someday we'll share the bliss

And when I see you in Heaven

I'll give you another kiss.

There I stood in wonder

Was she an angel from above?

She might see my mother first

And share my words of love.

Oh my heart was warmed tonight

For a mother that I miss

But we will meet again someday

When I claim the promised kiss.

I'm Stepping Out in Faith Today

I'm stepping out in faith today,
I'm walking with the Lord.
I found Him faithful yesterday,
He'll be true again today.

I'm stepping out in faith today,
I'm seeking to find His peace.
I found His tranquility yesterday,
He'll calm me again today.

I'm stepping out in faith today,
I'm trusting Him with my heart.
I found Him trustworthy yesterday,
He'll be reliable again today.

I'm stepping out in faith today,
I'm asking Him to heed my prayer.
I found Him listening yesterday,
He'll hear me again today.

I'm stepping out in faith today,
I'm looking for Him to comfort me.
I found His compassion yesterday,
He'll soothe me again today.

I'm stepping out in faith today,
I'm confident He will lead.
I found Him guiding me yesterday,
He'll show me the way again today.
