Fighting through the constant tears that fall from my broken heart as I watch my children fight battles that are too big for them… Knowing God has such an incredible plan for their lives, but my mama heart can’t stop hurting as I watch the ways their strength has to grow… Closing my eyes, I
I wrote this song a while ago in the rain…I’m sure so many of us feel the same, if we could say just one more thing to the loved one leaving, we’d ask them to stay… ❤️ So this for them, for us… All of us that just can’t stand the thought of letting go…And
That first warm day… Robins chirping in the trees, a meadowlark on the fence post… May life always treat you that good… as good as the first day of summer… Summer… When I was young the days stretched out for so longWe spent them being wild and free, and singing alongTo the song of summer
I sat down at the piano with a few thoughts… Axil sat down next to me with big tears rolling down his cheeks… He asked if the new song could have something to do with Papa Dave and have the words “you here with me” “I sure miss him…” he said… 💔 Here’s what we
For the ones we never got to hold… A Lullaby 1. Before I got to say hello, I had to say goodbye I’ll never see your precious face or hear you little cry I long to kiss your soft hair and watch you take first stepsForever now a memory your tiny body rests Cho. May
Those moments when the past comes flooding in again… I was searching for something… my old hatchet to show my son. I knew exactly what box it was in but I couldn’t find the box! In my searching though I stumbled across my hope chest… the one I had filled with apple dishes, towels I
The perfectly simple love story! In a song… Stealing Kisses 1. Fireflies, a dirt road and youPretty sure ya hung the moonThat’s stealing over the mountain peaksAnd smiling down on you and me Let’s follow the river to the diamond willow bendWe’ll throw some skipping rocks and thenWe’ll be stealing kisses 2. Summer days, starry
Rainy days… I love it! How it feels, how it smells… sometimes it’s powerful, sometimes it’s soft and gentle, but every time, it’s a gift from heaven! ❤️ This song is for us, those of us that love the rain… Rain… 1. Willows catching whispers that the wren has passed alongTelling me the secrets of
For my Grandma Roxie, in loving memory of Papa Dave. I’ll never forget sitting there watching the most beautiful, painful, heart breaking moment as Grandma held him a little longer and loved him a little more. Those words will forever be in my heart and that picture in my mind! That kind of love is
We all find ourselves listlessly sitting on the sand watching the waves of life wash away bits of memories we love… Sometimes it’s a person we held close, sometimes it’s one we never touched but always loved, sometimes it’s someone we never met, but wished we could find… We all miss someone… ❤️ And we
Wind inside my soul blows gently, turning the pages of the past. Flipping tenderly through memories I held so softly in my hands while whispering an echo of the song my heart sang through those times. Storms and calm, rain and sunshine, warmth and cold, hard and soft, so many mountains, then down through the
After a bout of feeling down, I spent some time at my Grandma Roxie’s. This started out to be another sad song, but after sitting on the back porch listening to the birds sing and the wind whisper through the trees, after feeling the sunshine, after smelling the pine scented fresh air, after watching the
I’m Drowning… I’m drowning again today, like I was yesterday and the day beforeWith a smile on my face I greet the world and try once more 1. The battle inside is fought between what I think and what I feelThe side of me that wants to give up and the side that wants to
I’m Not Ready to Let Go… 1. He said in his big boy voice, I wanna sleep alone So trucking down the hall my heart broke with how he’s grownDidn’t take long and I heard his feet pitter patter coming backBut my happy heart didn’t last long, he tossed his blanket “Mama, I don’t need
In loving memory of my sweet angel baby… ❤️ Butterfly The gentle ray of Sunshine I almost knewMy precious angel baby, how dearly I love you! You’d be 4 years old now, and what a beautiful girlYou’d take up such a great big part of my tiny little world! I long to hear your laughter
Old churches, old towns, old waysHave a lot to say!So take me back to Grandma’s front porch. I wanna learn what’s been forgotten long ago.I want to feel how they felt in days gone by. Bring back what all they know. 1. Back when a man stuck to his word, and a handshake sealed the
Walking home one day I saw a little bird And I said to myself what in the world That’s the plainest bird I’ve seen Well there’s no color on her wings But then she flew… All the colors of the brightest sunset took to flight All the splash of a thousand copper clouds against the
While I chased a phantom dream what I lived for was chasing me While I spent my days thinking of better times the best times were as good as can be Rushing ahead to things that would never be I missed what was at hand Moments of gold lost in winds of time, just like
The story of the woman caught in adultery… John 8:1-11 My heart was racing faster than my feet As I gathered my clothes and fled down the street But soon enough they caught me and soon enough they brought me before the leaders to be slain But why was I alone in this shame… He
Long gone wishes…. and dying dreams… they fade away on unseen wings… What once was young and full of all the best things has slipped away, just a dying dream… 1. In my hands I hold what’s left of a life I never had I cling to things that are breaking me the best and
I Wanted To Be Like Mary 1. I was young and precious with a future bright and clear. The voice of my sweet Jesus was the one I longed to hear. But I let the world around me drown out His call. So it wasn’t long before I hid my faith and began to fall…
