When Is It Fair...


When is it fair

For us to bear the burdens

Cry the tears

And weather the storms

When is it fair

For the weight on our shoulders to grow stronger

While the strength of our backs grow weaker

When is it fair

That we heal pain

But fall upon salt with our opened wounds

When is it fair

For the late nights to be our contemplative unrest

And the day dedicated to pushing through

We are the weaker sex…

Yet no earthly man seems strong enough to carry our loads

So we’ll just keep bearing the burdens

Crying the tears and

Weathering the storms

Until…

We Do Know...

So many times when someone dies (particularly expectantly) you here someone say, "You never know" or "You just never know"... but the truth is we do!

A Year and a Day

A year ago, I couldn’t fathom how I would make it to this day October 5th...the day after October 4 th … the day my life changed forever…the day where I began to question everything I thought I knew, the day where my future began to look hazy…the day consistency was broken, and my one constant since life began was gone. I couldn't even comprehend the idea of living in a world without my father...and I still can't. But let me tell you, God's grace is sufficient and sustaining. It carries me even when I don't feel it, especially on those days where I question him, and I don’t understand his plan. There will always be an emptiness in my heart, and I will never seek to fill it. That space is reserved just for Daddy.

Truth

So going through some old files on my computer, I came across this expose (for lack of a better word) that I wrote last year. I had forgotten all about it. But I was even somewhat impressed on were my mind was on this particular day/time. So here you go... I am a person who likes to analyze words. Since I am somewhat of a writer (mainly poetry), I like to choose words carefully. Making sure that I fully understand their meaning and usage. Whenever I am writing a poem, in particular, I will analyze and research a word until I have found the perfect word to convey my message. No matter how simple or complex the word may be, I know what it is that I want to say, I know what message and point and emotion I want to express, so I choose carefully. When it comes to scripture and studying the word, I found myself engaging in the same practice. When a particular verse mentions a certain word, I will search other translations, other corresponding verses until I get a full understanding o...
