Snow looks like diamonds,
crunching beneath my warm boots.
The sound is so sweet.

When you face disappointment,
or nothing goes you way;
Just count all of your blessings,
you'll see a brighter day.
~
When you ponder on your past,
mistakes that you have made;
Just remember that you're Human,
God created you this way.
~
When you dare to have your dreams,
which rarely do come true;
Simply cherish each tomorrow,
where another dream could bloom.
~
When your trials and temptations,
seem more then you can bare;
Confide in your Heavenly Father,
He's only as far as a prayer.
~
When you think you've had enough,
and you can't take anymore;
God will give you strength,
to greet another Morn.

The newborn nestles,
softly on her Mother's breast.
How precious is this?

My abuse began when I was small,
large, were the teardrops I cried;
They fell to the ground, without a sound,
in the darkness of my nights.
~
The pain I felt was endless,
I carried the shame in my heart;
I blamed myself for everything,
as they tore my world apart.
~
Each night they would come to me,
their hands began to roam;
They explored each inch of my body,
'til I wanted to explode.
~
I'd lay in bed, eyes shut tight,
and endured until they were through;
Then they'd leave me to myself,
hoping I'd forget the abuse.
~
As I grew up I wondered,
"Do they remember too;"
Were they proud to harm a child,
guess I'll never know the truth.

Some profess they can't hear God,
that He's not there at all;
Perhaps they're much too busy,
to hear Him when He calls?
~
Others claim God's never been,
and the Bible's full of flaws;
That man evolved from Apes because,
our hands look like their paws.
~
Still some doubt He doth ecxist,
that He's just a Fairytale;
They even doubt and disbelieve,
that there's such a place as Hell.
~
I once was just like all of them,
so blinded to the truth;
I chose to live in darkness,
always searching for some proof.
~
Then one day, some troubles came,
thus I cried out for some help;
Although my pleas were genuine,
I was only afraid for myself.
~
I decided to reach out to God,
so I knelt down on my knees;
Asking Him if He was real,
needing so much to believe.
~
Then I heard a still, small voice,
gently calling out to me;
I listened quite intently,
wondering who it could be.
~
"My child, you still have doubts,
of the things you cannot see;
Just trust that I'm the great, "I AM,"
on this you must believe.
~
All that you have been through,
I've also been there too;
Mistrust, betrayal, and cruelty,
I've felt them just like you.
~
I breathed in you the breath of life,
and watched you as you grew;
I long for you to believe in Me,
as I have believed in you!"
~
I sat in awesome wonderment,
not sure of what to say;
So I simply asked Him in my heart,
to become my Savior that day.
~
Then a peace I've ne'er felt before,
flooded my heart and soul;
My doubts and worries went away,
knowing God was in control.
~
Now I believe and have no doubts,
when I witness for my Lord;
I tell everyone what He can do,
as I go from door to door.

On a winter's day,
a beautiful, baby Doe,
was born in the snow.

Our love ties us together,
hence we will always be;
From the first time that I saw you,
your love was meant for me.
~
You treat me like a lady,
I treat you like my man;
And even in my silence,
you seem to understand.
~
And as you hold me tightly,
I feel what you don't say;
A love which needs no words,
is a love you've brought my way.
~
As you bring my morning Coffee,
I feel so very blessed;
For you always do the sweetest things,
too numerous to be said.
~
You never try to change me,
you accept the "Me" I am;
I cherish you, with all my heart,
on this I'll take a stand!
~
If you were e'er to leave me,
I don't know what I'd do;
Life would seem so worthless,
without the love of you.
