My Rose Colored Glasses

My rose colored glasses

make dullness bright

My rose colored glasses

take what is dark and turn it to light

My rose colored glasses

make me wise

My rose colored glasses

help me look through God’s eyes.

Before the Throne

Friendship

Friendship is a house

where we feel safe to be ourselves

Friendship is a room

With memories stored on the shelves

Friendship is a beacon

to those lost at sea

Friendship is a rope

linking you to me

Friendship is a smile

passed between two friends

Friendship is our own

and it will never end.

Let go. Let God.

What does a smile hold? Infinitely more power than one may admit. In passing, a smile can show recognition, illuminating humans’ bond: a glimmer of humanity— acknowledgement and appreciation of another’s existence.

A glimmer of faith

becoming warmer, brighter.

It expands and my heart feels full.

i am cloaked in Your love, strong in Your embrace

Awe ignites a spark and my thoughts explode

Jumbled and perplexed I succumb to your majestic whisper.
