Home

 

Sometimes I just want home. 

I want to settle down and be comfy and safe.

I want to be with the people I have and know and love.

I want to eat pizza and take a walk in the park. 

I want to walk in our neighborhood and down these streets and go to that church. 

I want to grow a garden and get a cat and a bunch of kids. 

Sometimes all I want is home. 

Adventure

 

Sometimes I feel like I just can't get enough adventure.

I want to so many different places.

I want to live in so many different countries and try new food and climb big mountains. 

I want to walk through lava fields and dance with people half a world away. 

I don't want a normal life.

I want adventure.

Smile Again

Will your soul ever smile again?

Will you ever feel the love within?

Will you ever let us see your face?

Will you ever feel a real embrace?

Why has your smile gone away?

Why are you dark day after day?

Why is your head always down

And your lips down in a frown?

You know it ain't all that bad

You don't have to be forever sad

Flowers still bloom in the sun

A smile can come one by one.

You can still lift your heavy head

And rise out of your weeping bed

Look into the glorious sky above

Smile again and feel His awesome love. 

Times Change

From Aunt..

To Mama

Skyway

The fluffy clouds rode across the blue highway

That great big blue expanse was the true Skyway

The birds and planes drove only on that byway

And I would join them if I had it my way. 

Struggle

Sometimes I struggle to be content. 

Sometimes the day seems like it won't end. The baby gets annoying. I feel like I'm stuck, kind of lonely. Sometimes her crying really gets to me. Sometimes I'm just not very happy.

I remember that the day will be done and another day will be better, and I will be happy again. 

Sometimes I ask Jacob to hug me. I just want to feel his strong, warm body wrapped around mine to help me remember I have a good friend, and life is pretty good. 

But sometimes I really struggle. 

And kind of feel like I will cry.
