the narrow way

Lead me through

The narrow gate

Along the path to you

When I struggle,

When I’m alone

Guide my thoughts,

Let my actions prove

That I am so much smaller

Than the universe, the stars

Help me recognize

Your goodness

When I feel so small

And can’t tell where

You are


Focus my heart

On the heartbeat

You provide

Let the stirring in my spirit

Never want to hide


And when I’m feeling lonely

When I wake up

Wanting someone there

Hold me close and help me

Be keenly aware

That you are real

You fill my spirit 

With the oxygen

Of heavenly things

And if I choose  

All I have to do is inhale

<breathe>

You are what I need


Waiting on the sunrise

Wishing on stars 

That will soon disappear

Lead me to your presence

Remove any once of fear

Because fear is a reminder

Of how fragile my spirit rests

Lighting the darkness

Inside this hollow flesh


Lead me on

I’m here 

Wanting to honor

What you gave

My life (hopefully)

a reflection 

In the man you chose

To save

““Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

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
