PAIN
What is it to you
We all know the reality of pain
Emotional pain eats away at your soul
Chronic pain awakes with you every day
I have lived with both yet
I cannot say which hurts the most
They both eat away at your being
They both consume your inner peace
They both shape your day
Do you know you we still have a choice?
We choose to fold under pains pressure
Or to overcome it
Or to overcome it
It is not easy - it is never easy
Each one has the inner tenacity
To overcome whatever comes your way
To overcome whatever comes your way
Each morning when you open your eyes
No matter what the pain
No matter what the pain
Know you can Overcome it
Your minds eye is powerful
Yes overcome it and be in charge of your day
Your minds eye is powerful
Yes overcome it and be in charge of your day
The pain may not go away
But it is you who makes your day
But it is you who makes your day

Leaves of God Fall 2009
My seasons have flown by so fast
I can hardly remember the details of my budding
I bloomed far too early forced by natures call
The flower of my youth stolen
My spring lost
I could not hold my bloom
As fruit required all my time
That season of summer went so fast
Consumed by my fruit youth slipped away
Never to swing freely in the warm summers breeze
I held fast lest my fruit should fall
Hot summer days turn to chilly nights
My fruit now ripe hear falls call
They release to face their own unknown
I watch as they fall free
My branches lift from their weight
I stand-alone the crisp air begins to blow
Indian summer comes with new love
I bask in the crisp sun light
My beauty is seen and shared
With the bloom of crimson leaves
My golden years begin
Too soon, I see my skin begin to shrivel
Youths golden beauty slips into grey
My hold on the tree of life seems futile
The frost of winter comes so fast
I hold tight lest I fall
So many leaves are falling
I watch as they let go one by one
My winter is here my time has come
The cold ground awaits my fall
The snows of winter cover my memory
Yet the family tree still stands
Spring will come
New leaves will unfold
The seasons of life begins again
