"Hey Buddy" As he stared at me I thanked God for cows All His foreknowledge and know-how For think of milk Its calcium, its fill Sleepless nights call for a glass of warm milk Chocolate chip cookies need to dunk Homemade mac and cheese need spunk Bones made alive No matter how dry And His … Continue reading Deliverance

Holy
Such a drastic contrast Between Holy and sin The battle rages within Flesh meshes with lies Purity and truth stand by Waiting, calling Never late or stalling Holy is His whisper A glimmer Of His glory A lightening flash For those who see are changed in its path Holy is Scripture Operating on wounds needing … Continue reading Holy

She is Becoming
As she unsticks her wings she knows not all she's got confined, contained safe, though tainted her past lingers in her mind her limbs, legs and tiny toes freely climbing bark walking anywhere she wanted in the park could she? perhaps the defining question is ... will she? wriggling her head through fresh air touches … Continue reading She is Becoming
