32/F oh the joy of writing
No matter the mood, when you walked in, spirits were lifted. You were a light— truly gifted. A friend we could always count on, a protector, a great son. Your energy was contagious, your laughter still echoes in the memories we hold close, carried in every smile you left on so many faces. Always upbeat, even when days were heavy, you reminded us how to smile, how to live in the moment. We love you for loving us so genuinely. Do you see how many lives you touched so joyfully? That sweet spirit, now resting peacefully— we carry you with us. We love you, Keeyon.

Your Joy Remains
If I could cry a river, I’m sure you would drown, if I opened the door, you’d see a world upside down. If you knew the place where I sit and I think, you’d pull up a chair and pour yourself a stiff drink. If you heard what I don’t say out loud, how silence can roar, how quiet is loud, you’d smile like it’s simple, say that’s just life, then step away gently, avoiding the knife. If you felt the weight of the hours I wear, the nights that collect in the back of a prayer, you’d loosen your laughter, soften your tone, and learn some battles are fought alone. If you knew the honesty behind the words, how truth comes fractured, shaken, and blurred, you’d stop trying to fix, to frame, to explain, and sit with the storm instead of the rain. I don’t need a savior, I don’t need a crown, I don’t need you to swim if I’m going to drown. Just don’t swallow the silence and call it the same some doors open inward, some pain has no name. You don't need Mountains to crush a broken heart, their weight decides where endings will start. Sometimes they lead you to the end, sometimes to where beginnings they bend. The words inside run far too deep, deeper than ink was meant to keep for what is written on the page is only echo, not the cage.

If You Knew
Lord, I don’t like the way I feel, But I can and I will be healed According to Your will— Signed and sealed With a kiss. It’s there for us — we can’t miss. Do you dare to be revealed? Take up your cross, and be healed. To walk with Jesus is a gift of freedom. We may wander through some ragged fields, Climbing up and over hills, Wondering… how come? But hope steers our bold confidence, So in the valleys and the hills, Eternal life is what we’re promised. Don’t forget the new covenant, if you will. Rest your souls — Jesus is near. For you, and you — Without a doubt. Where are you now? Pick up your sword, let your heart be moved. Hold on to your faith — He’s bringing you out. Out of pain and into the light. We are not of this world; This isn’t our battle to fight. Jesus… The Way, the Truth, and the Life. Here is salvation — He’s already paid the price. And through Him, we can do all things. Let everyone sing praise to His name!

Are You Ready to do Hard Things?
A lonely flower in the wind Dancing to its tune stays confident boasting strength Though bent but never broken stands rooted in silence teaching courage even to the storm so fierce Like a fire in bloom Yet a flower so tender!!

fierce flower
~~<@>~~ The tears of a rose Will soak and stain They're from her heart They're stored up rain They come from heaven To flow down thorns They sing in screams From her lips torn They can be acid To burn the bloom They can be crystal Reflecting moons The rose will open In dead of night The tears from petals Refract the light They cascade down Drop from the leaves For her soul She sits and grieves For her soul The drops fall down They feed her roots Under the ground They bring her back The legend goes There's healing in Tears of a rose SøułSurvivør Reposted 1/2026

Tears of a Rose
I want to tell a story, Based on my life And the times I spent lonely. When you are the light In an array of stormy, Or have peace When things are gory — That’s when you’ll know To tell your story. Because the times I spent lonely Became the most cherished moments, As I bonded With He who is Holy. To know God is to have life, A life that represents His indescribable kindness. It will shine through you In ways I’m still exploring. Let’s not take for granted “The boring,” For it’s in these moments The Lord does His restoring.

Your Joy Remains
So I’m the newbie, May Jesus be seen in me. You can’t even fathom what I see— The aligning of all seeds. Sown by me? Well, gifts handed to me. Psalm 23, That **** 23… Oh, you’ve made it clear to me. Like David, I lead blindly while running. Ugh, The beauty of surrendering— Yielding… Stop right there! The saving from the fowler’s snare, Have I forgotten such a fact? Yeah, okay, now I see. Lord, have your way with me, I made that pact After failing frequently. Oh, and don’t worry about me— I traded my plans for peace. God’s got me

I wonder if you think about me as much as I think of you. If I cross your mind in the dead of night. If I creep into your dreams and if you wake up to my face in the front of your mind. I wonder if you think of me when someone speaks my name, or if you can pass the letters over your lips without them quivering. If you look over at your passenger seat as the sun sets and glimpse my smile. If you recall all the memories we shared and hold them as close as I. I wonder if you pass by someone on the street and question for a second if it’s me, if you hoped for a moment that it was. If you miss the warmth in your hand where mine would me. I wonder if your lips miss the familiar taste of mine, if you miss the presence of my body laying beside yours. I wonder if you ever think to call or text, to send a letter to the girl you made a mess. I wonder if I still mean something...anything, to you, or if I ever did at all. Because you were everything to me. I see you in everything I do, everywhere I go, because I miss it all, I miss you. And I’m sorry I couldn’t be what you needed. I’m sorry... But I needed you too, And you left.

I Wonder If You Wonder
Give her a wink, give her a nudge— remind her You alone are her judge, and no opinion of another can make her budge. When this truth settled in me, it brought such relief; and I know it will bring her twice the peace. From the goodness of her heart, she tends to people-please— yet she is still allowed boundaries. And if the ones you long to please can’t see the sacrifices you make, may you dust your shoes, and shift your light with ease. You shine so bright, genuinely. It reveals impurities, intimidates the wanna-bees, and only few will recognize the beauty flowing from Galilee. Gee— what a woman to be— overflowing with potential and profound capacity. Let no one limit her possibilities, her depth, her personality, or the life breathed from thee. She wears many hats, woven together with grace— multitasking into the very change she longs to see. She cherishes freedom and individuality; a role model she will always be. The kind of woman who soothes your soul in catastrophe— stillness, tranquility. The Spirit dwells within her body: bold, strong-willed, resilient, alive through every rise and fall— yet still radiant. Her laughter, her childlike joy in making friends, her way embracing connection. Her company is welcoming, solid ground, a place of refuge for me. She is the best friend to me. Nurturing, life-giving, clothed in strength and dignity, a woman of integrity. I see it all. And I strive to be half the woman she has been to me. So blessed am I to have a mother as stunning as she.
