invaluable

I am invaluable—

A real treasure divine. 

I am insatiable

When I lose track of time. 

I am creativity personified—

Holding nothing back, nothing kept inside. 

I am invaluable—

God's child to be glorified—

Sent through the fire meant to refine. 

I am watching, awaiting, anticipating—

To be claimed for all eternity.

Bloom. 
Just bloom a little more, 
A little longer, 
But bloom. 

It is not time to wither; 
It is not time to stop growing. 
It is not time just yet 
To let go or say goodbye. 

Bloom, darling, 
And be daring while you're at it. 
Bloom into a new flower 
That knows where the sun shines. 



just for a little while

wishes and kisses 
moving in all directions 
grow down a little 



*dedicated to my children and to my dad for inspiring my thoughts


a full plate

wringing out the dishcloth
with dishes still in the sink
is like the days of being a mother 
teaching you that the work is 
never all done

time putting us all through the wringer 
wishing for more time but less wringing 
hoping for a little stretch of peace
but that's not what life is all about
so the blows just keep coming 

day after day, the dishes keep coming
and going but showing that 
there is always a little more one can do
to make a difference 
to feed a soul
