HEAVY SWEATER LEAVE
What do you do?
When you know you need to move?
Move that body
Get in the groove
BREAKING THROUGH
The first day of Spring is here
Signs of rebirth all around
Time for newness cheer
Telling myself; be strong
INCHING TO FREEDOM
Two steps forward, one step back
It’s a new day; do what you can
Put that smile on your face; stay on track
Weakening you is his plan
DAMAGED YET MOVING
Silently suffering through the years
at what dad did
You walk around in numbed fear
as mom didn’t listen to words you said
STRONG SPIRIT
Imagine being a young girl,
so excited about her dreams
Imagine a young girl,
her father shattered her dreams
EVIL SOUL
Evil soul, evil soul
that’s who you are
Evil soul, evil soul
you will not go very far
HOW DARE YOU
Once upon a time,
there was a young girl,
filled with dreams all the time
Til that night all changed for the young girl.

SOMEDAY IS TODAY
I have spent a lot of time thinking about my life, time & choices, since I became sick. But this year with the pandemic and David’s health scare, I realized that I’m not the only one who’s “somedays” are limited. None of us know how many “somedays” we have left. The time has come. Someday is today.

APPRECIATION
We talk a lot about being grateful, thankful, blessed, positive, and many other things that pertain to how “we” feel. I realized this morning that try as I may, I don’t always let the people who create these feelings in me, know how much they mean to me.
