raindrops

August 26, 2017


pitter patter
on the roof
raindrops
splashing
all around
me
pooling
in
puddles
at
my
feet


the
tears of
the sky
coming
down
in torrents
soaking
the
face
of
the
earth


raindrops

splashing

all around

the tears

of the sky

soak

the ground

God

time

June 20, 2017


time.

so quick and swift.

we all know it's there, but it goes as unnoticed as ever.

"i'll do it later" or, "i don't have time right now" or, "i'll have time later" are all phrases we use too commonly.

but, what if there isn't time later?

not to sound pessimistic, but we could all die at any second. Jesus could come any minute from now. we don't know if we will have time later because we don't know if there will even be a later.

if you don't have time, make time. make time to do the important things first: like spending more time with God, or with your family.

don't say you'll do it later, do it now (unless, you like, actually have to do it later and can't do it now). ;)

chow, y'all.

fairytales

in a fairytale

June 18, 2017


oh, how i wish to fly

off to a magic place

where unicorns are real

and where a pretty face

is not required

to be beautiful

in a fairytale

is where i wish to be

in a fairytale

where i can just be me

where perfectness is not needed

where i'll live and thrive

on sunshine

and grassy hills of flowers

and feast with kings and princesses

and many other splendors

'cause in a fairytale

is where i wish to be
