Morning, a little groggy

Wake

a little groggy

Eyes feel puffy

Body a little tense 

Just want to run to you

Like the little boy

From way back then


I do not understand you

Like how the wind

Seems to whisper my name

I know you surround me

Yet I still often remain


Scared

Lonely

Hopeful,

Yet stuck

Inside my own feelings

Even with you here

Many times I want to give up 


Yet inside

I feel you

Tugging at my core

Knowing you’re there

Even when I struggle

“Dear Lord,

I need you more”


The weight starts to lift

My body still weary

Know I need to move

Shower

Take a few more sips 

(of coffee)

I cling to you


There is no choir of angels

No parade to cheer me on

Yet welling deep inside me

If I listen

Is your song


Not bound to my emotions

Those teeter in the wind

But the hope of generations 

Found in the voice of you,

My friend 


So help me 

When I struggle

Push me when I don’t want to face

What you have before me

I just want to take my place


Beside you.

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

she called Him ‘son’

They called Him ‘teacher’ following from town to town  Others, the ‘king’  come to reign with a crown Some, 'healer', as he gave them  eyes to see  To me, ‘my savior’  shining his love down on me  But she called him ‘son’ Raised from the infant that pierced her womb She loved him before He was known to the world  She called him ‘son’ As her baby grew to a man Lost in the crowd In his father’s house finally found She followed closely As he began his great task She watched him love others She was there at the last  <breath> She stood in the shadows  Tears at the loss  Regardless of what was coming She stood at the cross Aware of his teachings She still remembered the babe That now hung dying She saw it all His birth, now the grave And she called him ‘son’ The king of kings The teacher The healer The one still her ‘son’. 05/11/25 clc “She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”...

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
