Yours

My heart is broken in pieces but
I know the broken pieces will mend if
I put them in your hands so
with faith I give you this heart you created for me
God, here’s my heart
As you know my love his been and
will continue to be  yours forever

You see the tears I cry and
the ones trapped behind my eyes          
Like my heart these tears are yours
dry them If you wish or let
them fall teaching me lessons along the way        

I may not understand what
you have in store for me or those I love
As I’ve always said you never give us
more than we can handle
The will is yours and
I’ll have faith no matter
 what your plans are

Single Rose

When you first met your single rose
she was sweet, but green round the gills as they say
Innocence dripped like morning dew from her fragile pedals and
in love was a great place to be  
To her well, love oh love meant forever 
She was getting ready to blossom taking her first steps
into a world that at times has been cold and cruel
All the while with newfound strength

she was there for you whenever you needed her     

Well my dear, a few years have passed
Her life not the carefree one you’re used to
Love has changed in her eyes
For her it hasn’t been the same
You‘re used to your single rose being the
roots that keep you grounded and safe

from all the heartache in the world

Baby you have been so wrapped up in your life
You can only see what you want through the rose colored glasses
you have chosen to wear  
How can she shield you from pain when
her heart ache is this bad?
She needs someone to be her single rose and
she loves you, and always will but
she’s so sorry you just aren’t the one

 

 

Forever Changed

She didn’t think she’d be here
In this place where she’d have to grow up
and be the woman everyone told her she could be
at least not this soon
Now she knows she can be that woman
the one who has to be strong when her tears want
nothing more than to fall for hours on end
Like many moments of her past have done
she is and always will be forever changed

Now she’s in a place where the strongest woman
she’s ever known is praying that the cancer she’s
trying to beat doesn’t take her from this world
So far as she can tell the strongest woman
she knows and loves is winning the battle
for her life
The love she feels for this woman makes her
do everything she can for a mother who would
do and has done nothing less for her

People have asked if her faith is shaken
She’d be the first to admit there have been times
thoughts of a life without her have made this daughter
wish she could take her place
It’s weird but her faith has only gotten stronger
her relationship with God has forever changed again
If it weren’t for Him she wouldn’t be here to take care of
the mother whom will never be far from her thoughts

Love Story

We are used to hearing the typical love story

you know the kind

The kind traditional fairytales are made of

When boy meets girl then falls in love and

in the end, they get married with the hope that

the bond they share will last forever

The love story she is about to put to paper is not typical

This one is the story of two women who like the

boy meets girl scenario met, fell in love

Then after fighting for what they believe in

they got married inspiring her more than they may ever know

Showing her and others that love doesn't take just one form

Yet unlike the typical love story theirs doesn't end there

You see these two want it all

They want to be mothers and

she, well she can't blame them

This inspires her too

She hopes all their dreams come true and

she can't wait to see what happens next
