My Portion

I will fail

Fall down weeping

My soul 

Broken in defeat

My hopes 

Long ago shattered 

From promises

I just didn’t believe


Until

I raised my eyes

to the 

Maker of the skies

Let go 

All my worries

Tears still streaming 

from my eyes


You are my portion

When I hunger

You feed my soul

When I’m standing 

on the precipice

You never let me go


You are my strength

When I’ve lost the will

to carry on

You are the stillness 

in the morning

You are my heart’s true song


Each day 

I find new challenges 

Will come

Some mere distractions 

Others I face

Some I just have to run


You 

Guide the way

through the muck and mire 

You don’t pretend

You are real and present 

You are my 

Greatest friend 

and my champion 

Til the end 


You are my portion

When I hunger

You feed my soul

When I’m standing 

on the precipice

You never let me go


You are my strength

When I’ve lost the will

to carry on

You are the stillness 

in the morning

You are my heart’s true song


I hear

Your voice

calling out to me

I glance toward heaven

Knowing

You are what I need


Lord,

Please always be

Next to me.

Marvelous Mysteries

Those  Marvelous mysteries Like sunlight above the trees Often we behold so many wonders Right below our nose  With a sigh Realize there’s so much to this life Hope seems  such a distant cause When in our thoughts  we find ourselves lost Looking so far  down the line That we stumble over the sublime At our feet In our grasp Miss it while  holding on to the past… <pause> If we can stop Take a breath Take solace in where we’re at I know it’s hard but gotta try There is more If we open our eyes… To those  Marvelous mysteries. 01/13/25 clc

Like Winter Breeze

Subtleties Like winter breeze Cooling my insides Trying to let go Caught up in The memories  So many left Even if I know That time will bring her  Back to me Maybe just in a thought Hopefully, she remembers me Don’t have to wonder  ‘bout that Think I already know But the future Isn’t a Disney movie It’s often times More like losing And moving on Breath it in Think I already know See my breath On the wind Escapes, And then I breathe again It’s amazing How such a little gesture Seems to show It’s not just about letting go It’s also about Knowing There’s spring After the snow… Wake up heart Only God truly knows And we get so caught up Tossing to and fro Winter morning - Help my weary soul. 01/15/25 clc

In Mississippi

Wonder if her heart‘s  still in Mississippi? Whispering Pines go back in time Wonder if she’s missing? A little peace, piece of her soul Often times those are the hardest  places to let go Roots Run deep Life may twist and turn I wonder if she keeps Looking west To a place her spirit yearns  To be Oh Mississippi, I hope her heart finds peace I still say a prayer For her to be Back in Mississippi,  if that’s where she’ll find peace 01/14/25 clc
