HOW CAN YOU LOVE A STRANGER- O’ how can you love a stranger? When a stranger, you DON’T KNOW; The Lord watches over the foreigner; Sustains the fatherless and the widow; Administer true justice; Show mercy and compassion to one another; Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless; WE ARE ALL STRANGERS.

Find the ones who see you in your worst silence, the kind that hangs heavy in your chest and makes your words feel useless. The ones who don’t flinch when your voice shakes or when your truth comes out in pieces. Find the people who don’t need you to shrink to fit their comfort, who...

“Get Up.” I don’t remember hitting the floor. Just the sharp cut between feeling dizzy and suddenly being on the ground. My body felt far away, like I was watching myself from outside my own skin. My head was buzzing, my vision blurred at the edges. The first thing I heard wasn’t concern. It was my mother’s...

Some things you survive without sound. No spotlight, no audience, only the quiet echo of your own breath as you carry yourself through another night. The world does not always notice that kind of strength, yet it is the most sacred kind. Survival, on its own, is a quiet kind of miracle. To still be...

Each time I see him, I see a clear reflection of myself. We function the same way. Slow to start. Easily lost. Reading the same line over and over and over until giving up feels easier than trying again. I know the feeling of not understanding what everyone else does. I know the feeling of...

I don’t have my learners permit. I have had to be the adult my whole life. I have had to tend to their outbursts and tantrums. I have survived all their rat runs I’ve always told myself it’s an assessment A test of my determination I will soon regain my adolescence They’re just giving me a foundation, I have had to deal with...

Stranded midway, my path is strewn with thistles and thorns. When turbulence rocks my life, I lift my eyes Heavenwards, and beseech- ‘Lord, piolet me’! When tempests toss my vessel, l pray- ‘Hold my hand’. When heartaches leave deep scars, wish, you come with solace, showing an exuberance of kindness. Help me face each day, endowing me with your grace. Lord, fill me with love, to share it...

Maybe a year maybe two The time I spent loving you For some are given a child or two Some even more than just a few I cherish the time I spent with you You just a baby the beggining of your youth Old enough to speak small enough to carry A comtort when you'd weep entertainment when you tarried You were one of Gods gifts to me That perfect age where love...

I couldn't have shed tears, possibly. But I've heard every little wound needs love to heal, And so will I- your dearest...

A little kindness never hurts; helps heal and often mends. Your care soothes and diverts pain of family or friends. A little kindness never hurts. When helping those with needs- sad frown to smile converts. Gifts of words or deeds by selfless acts, comfort reasserts. A little kindness never hurts. Your gifts- large or small; a card, dinner, fresh desserts- or just visits can enthrall. This giving of...
