My Heart Remains

My soul mourns

At the sight
At the sound
The woundedness
The pain

Those families
Trying their hardest
Doing their best
With little
To no gain

With the pandemic
Everything
Has changed

Living
Lifestyles
Travel
Plans
Work
Education
Home life
Recreation

Ordinary outings
To the park
Refrain

Health diminished
Quality of life
Spending final moments
Last breaths taken
In hospital beds

Technology connected
FaceTime provided
One last chance
One last opportunity
To see family
In a country
Far
Far
Away

One thing after another
Robs
Steals
Takes away joy
From 
Every precious moment
Day by day

Lord I ask you
Lift up your people
	
Your children need you

	
Lighten their load
The weight
The burden
They carry

Their hearts
Are good
Beautiful souls

Give way to light
Bring peace
Bring hope
Bring comfort
Bring joy
A reassurance of your promise
Your presence in their life

Hello and welcome, I am so glad we have crossed paths! It’s no accident you are here! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, notice and read. As a wife, mother, grandmother, teacher (and so much more), I see the world through my lens. From the way I was raised, to every experience, moment, and circumstance in life, has shaped the way I think and see the world. For several years now, I have been walking more closely with God, getting to know Him, how He speaks to me and through me. He has given me the ability to write, a way to express how I am feeling and what I am going through. This has been a beautiful, crazy kind of journey where much healing is taking place. A time where I need to offer myself up some grace and appreciate the hard work, dedication, and commitment to creating a better version of myself. I am learning how to work through and release old trauma, healing, shedding old layers of myself, accepting and embracing my true and authentic self. Getting to know the new me has been quite foreign, especially when the old wants to cling to what is familiar, old habits and mindsets. Writing has been my saving grace (and photography is right up there too). An outlet, a way to release, a way to pause, reflect and see there is more than what my mind is leading me to believe. God’s word, His voice is there. When I keep Him first, above all things, I’ve realized things work out for my greater good, my higher purpose. I hope you enjoy and find words of wisdom you can relate to!
