You say that you know my scent so well,
Even blinded, that you could discern.
How strange that fragrance is familiar,
To a heart that you'd rather not learn.
Never noticed all the vivid scars,
Which have all been placed within your view.
Nor seen me wince in your careless hands,
When you try to touch them like you do.
And who am I to ask my owner,
(Who even blind, would know me by scent,)
"Sir, do you know where I am right now?"
"Or even how long ago I went?"

Much Too Late

Oh! What a long storm has travailed here,
With only a short lull or two.
That rainbow which we presume is near?
Is a thunder's span length from view.
Who called the clouds and who rose the mist?
Did memory beckon again?
Green grass that once surely did exist,
Has since died between now and then.
The trees are so very tired now,
And their limbs can hold no more weight,
And for them and I and you, I fear,
That the rainbow is much too late.

This world will surely continue on

This world will surely continue on,
One day without me in it.
For it's been said of GOD himself,
Our lives are but a minute.
But we all leave an impression,
That lasts longer than today,
Whether in a grandiose manner,
Or in a very simple way.
Let my memory be a reminder that,
We're only here for a short while.
And I pray the legacy of "me,"
Be one that starts a smile.

Motto

Enjoy the blessings we are given,
And take for granted none,
Share all of who we really are,
With each and everyone.

The only person broken here

Do not believe you've broken me.
No pity needed here.
I can't even recall how long it's been,
Since I have shed a tear.
I will get up and move about,
Carry on with this life.
I've no need to be a beggar,
A forgiver or a wife.
I'm just as beautiful as ever,
No eyes be needed here.
And I'll be moving forward,
Forward with no fear.
But learn a lesson if you will,
That is so very true,
The only person broken here,
Sadly, dear, is you.

At least as of today

I do not feel a thing, my dear,
No, I do not feel a thing.
I notice not the looming clouds,
Nor the rain which they will bring.
I gave it all up...yes!, gave it all up,
Gave everything away.
But I've yet to miss a single thing,
At least as of today.
I do not laugh, I do not smile,
But, yet, I do not cry.
Nor do I feel the loneliness,
Upon the word "goodbye."
For I have learned one lone truth,
Of which I have no doubt.
That there is nothing in this life,
Which I can't live without.

Exactly

I do not need these walls to live!
Not even my old swing.
In fact if truth be told, my friends,
I do not need a thing.
For my Father, he is with me.
With every breath I draw in.
And I can hear him whispering,
"You must begin..........again."
And I know there is a lesson here,
That somehow I will grow.
That I've been holding on too tight
To things I should let go.
And take a deep liberating breath,
Faithful and worry- free.
Trusting the Shepherd will lead me,
Exactly where I need to be.
