Anniversary of temporal lobe surgery
It's hard to put in my past
When it changed who I am
I pray it's result will forever last
Sometimes I miss
The Wendy that I used to be
Her memory was better
And she was a bit different than me
It's not that I do not understand
Or I want to rewind time to let
It be the way it used to be
Brightside is
I now comprehend
He is GRAND
His Son died for me
I know it does not take
Temporal lobe surgery for some
To reach the realization
God knew I needed much
Motivation
He has given me love
All through my childhood
But like the prodigal son
I was always on the run
Now I am back home
Back with my Father
Blessing was, He was with me
All along
So my memory is not so great
And I have a scar upon my skull
A reminder of what Jesus
Sacrificed for me
When I get to heaven
I will once again be
Whole

PSALM 119:67
Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word.
PSALM 119:71
It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.

we've been
mortally
wounded
by the need
to know.
we come
again and
again.
we die for it.
knowing
and not
knowing
are the same.

I hope I never forget this
spring evening
with the
sunset
laughter
and
the wind kissing our faces

I'm a ship
Upon the ocean
Pressed and frought
On every side
I'm distracted
By emotion
Drawn and pulled
By every tide

I have beams
Splintered and broken
I have mainsails
Ripped and torn
Never hearing
Your words spoken
I am weakened
And forlorn

I've been put through
Greatest trials
Storms I've made
With my own hands
I have sailed
A million miles
And been beached
On shifting sands

Then, at last,
In desperation
I looked unto skies above
There a Star was
In position
It was God's
Redeeming Love!

For a while I
Followed closely
Where'er the light led
Then distracted
My own boasting
Turned my helm
Yes, turned my head

I could n'er have
Heard the singing
Of the Star
So sweet and high
For the siren song
Was clinging
To my ears and
To my eyes!

Then I saw them!
Rocks so jagged!
The benighted
Siren's realm!
I saw whirlpools
Waves so ragged!
And I fought to
Turn my helm!

There in fervent
Desperation
I sent up a tearful prayer!
That's when Grace
Became my bastion
I was rescued
Then and there!

Now I set my
Golden sextant
To the Star I know is True
I will follow
Never exit
The Guiding Light I found
In You


Though I have
My certain troubles
It's a better life by far!
I do not steer by Polaris
But by my own

Your head lowers
when diving into
The Ocean.
