Precious Moments

It used to be so easy
I’d get all that I need.

I didn’t have to wake up
until I felt complete.

Now is a different story,
there’s reason to arise.
He wakes me every morning,
with a sparkle in his eyes.

How can I be so grumpy
when I see his shining face.
A smile that melts my heart,
and puts me in my place.

So wipe away the sleepers,
this time is not my own.
These are the precious moments,
before my boy is grown.

I wrote this one morning as I was laying in bed trying to get a few more winks of sleep, while Braden was playing on the bedroom floor. Watching him play and roll around my heart melted knowing this is for such a limited time and soon he will grow and be on his way. We are truly blessed to have him in our home!

Fine Words

Hearing what sounds good,
where fine words take me away
will I still remember
when sorrow comes my way.

Give me hope … give me faith
just let me stay here in this place.
Tell me fine words that wont go away
So I can remember to act and to pray.

I have a dream of what I may be,
though who can say what His will is for me.
To know the end is not in the plan
to help me learn patience and know that He can.

So give me hope … give me faith
Life… will sure be better that way.
No matter what the end may be,
to know that He loves me is all that I need

Fine words I seek to lead the way …
and bring me through a sorrowful day.

I had just confirmed that I was pregnant when I wrote this. I was filled with worry because of my previous complication with getting pregnant and keeping the pregnancy. My greatest desire was to be a mother but time was slipping by and hope was hard to hold on to. For a week I had the impression to call brother Johnston in our ward for a Priesthood blessing. Finally I made the call and when I hung up the phone it was as if a weight was lifted off my shoulders and that everything was going to be all right. He came over and gave me a blessing that told me that I would carry this baby to full term. Looking back I should have been more at peace and had faith in the blessing but I was still very worried for the next few months.

Hilton Head

In hopes of having summer fun,
We drove all day to see the sun.

A new island to explore,
We spent most the day on the shore.

Nice place, I must say.
Only watch for the bikers,
They get in the way.

First time surfing a wave,
No fear at all, the boy is brave.

Keeping the sand out of his hand,
A few shells made it to never-land.

Sisters helping keep the peace,
Surely put my mind at ease.

Movie night with anticipation,
Harry Potters a hit to top our vacation

On the road heading home,
With sand in our hair and wearing sea-foam

We sang and we ate and had a good time,
We thank you to dad and his magical dime!

I wrote this on the car drive home from our vacation. Just wanting something to do, I thought I would write down what we did in rhymes.

Squeaky

Do you feel proud that you squeak when you walk.
Is this how you like to live, to cheap to hear me talk.

You have all the answers to your master plan,
How can I measure up to the cards in your hand.

Is this why you came here, to grind us with your feet,
A land of new beginnings as long as it is cheap.

I should have seen this coming when a contract there was none,
I should have been more watchful at the figures to be spun.

Another lesson learned but likely not the last,
It’s time to carry on and put the squeaker in the past!!!

Intervention

The power that you hold is stronger than my own.
You are the great divide between the actions that I’ve sewn.

How did I let you in you creep just like a snake.
My life is set aside for these drugs I must take.

If only for a moment you take me from this place.
I give you all my power to free me from disgrace.

A solitary world the days turn into years.
The lines I see before me exposing all my fears.

To find a higher ground where I can spread my wings.
This is my only option if I'm to do great things.

Now is my intervention and there’s power on my side.
These comrades in my life won’t let me go without a fight!

I don’t have a drug problem if you are wondering. I wrote this after watching the show “Intervention” on A&E. This is a reality show that follows a person who is addicted to alcohol or drugs. You can see the horrible affect that this addiction has on their life. These people are usually on the edge of death and must have an intervention from loved ones to save them. But with all that the family does to help, it’s ultimately up to them to change their life.
