Poems

Not Enough

When the world isn't enough to fill my empty cup,
When I don't measure up, when the road I walk is rough,

Poem for Easter

Let me tell you a story of a great and mighty king,
Who sat in the presence of angels inhaling the praises they'd bring,

Jealousy

I was so angry when you got your big break, Three million YouTube views, in one day, was more than I could take

Heavy Toll

This day, on my body has taken a heavy toll I can no longer stand, I give up control,

If I boast

Do I look like just another sweet but ignorant, stay-at-home mom to you?
That would be like me saying you judge everyone based on their IQ,

Lest I Be Disqualified

Holy Spirit meet me today,
Guide my ways,
Without you I am a lump of flesh
without any breath

Bad Day

Today has not gone as planned,
Probably because I attempted everything myself instead of committing it to your hand,

Only a moment

I only have a moment,
I've carved it out for you,
I only have a moment,
I hope my two coins will due,

Am I Changed?

Am I changed by what I see?
Or am I only a surveyor of things around me?

How can I?

How can I raise you from your slumber?
How can I convince you of your hunger?

Holding my Heart

Diamond in the Rough

All my efforts are never enough

In all things

Little voices raised in frustration

Homeschooling Mom From Leander

I'm a homeschooling mom from Leander,
My dreams now consist of going out to eat...

If You Give A Woman a Baby

If you give a woman a baby,
She'll want some stuff to go with it,
So you'll throw her a baby shower

Fear Alight

Fear is a like a fire, Flames burning bright
All is burned until, Nothing's left in sight

Grace Well Run

Woe is me, I've come undone,
Because I stand now race finished and run,

Joy Unspeakable

When my children see me do they recognize the JOY I claim to have?

No Reciprocation

May I strive to serve, without expecting to be served in return

Prayer Submission

Sometimes I wonder why you made me such a silly little girl,
Why I tend to dissect every detail of my small little world,

Where did Bible Time go?

Long gone are the days of a quiet place,
Long hours at Starbucks spending time face-to-face,

Blueberries and Eraser Tops
