Dang!
Sometimes those heartbreaks are going to come. Unfortunately, that is a part of life. In order to love we have to put our heart out there. All vulnerable and open. Sometimes it will pay off. Sometimes it will not. Not at all.

Open Heart
General Conference thoughts: Wounded
by Elder Neil L. Andersen
“This is going to hurt a little bit,” is what we could have been told before we left our pre-mortal home to come to earth. Pain is part of growth it will happen. Continue reading
I am Fine
The other night I had a pretty vivid dream about an old friend. We haven’t seen each other in a couple of years and apparently the separation weighs on my subconscious. I woke up and thought maybe I could share the experience but make it more universal by making it about a romantic relationship instead of friendship. Continue reading
The Healing Gift
“And to others it is given to have faith to heal.” – Doctrine and Covenants 46:20
I’ve been wallowing a bit. My bishop asked me to serve in the nursery at church. He firmly believes a “precious little one” has the power to heal a broken heart. I have my doubts. Especially when one of the precious little ones told me she doesn’t like my hair cut and that I have a big belly. Precious. Continue reading
The glass really is half full
It’s been awhile since I’ve talked about that nasty business called anxiety. How about an update?
I’m Sorry
You were a gift
sent from up above.
All I had to do
was to simply love.
An easy task
but I didn’t know
what love even was
and I failed you so.
Sorry doesn’t seem enough
but maybe it’s a start.
I’m sorry you became so tough
from a broken heart.
I’m sorry I made you feel small
and can’t win no matter what you do
when it’s me that can’t stand tall.
I’m sorry, so sorry, I’m sorry I broke you.

Slipped away
She watched him
load boxes in the car
and hoped he
wouldn’t go too far.
Their two children
cried and hugged him so
and begged him
to stay and not to go.
He looked at
her and she looked down.
It was best
if he didn’t stay around.
She didn’t
feel anger any longer
So very
tired but a little stronger.
Yesterday
she grieved their love
But today
her heart was tough.
And she
remembers the day
before they
let it all slip away…
Life was good once.
She felt blessed once.
She had love once.
She knew happiness once.
All before life slipped their love away.
He placed one
red rose beside her name.
The last two
years just haven’t been the same.
He looked down
at the engraved stone.
Then turned
and slowly went home.
He looked at
old photographs and smiled.
How he wished
they could talk again for awhile.
The days
sure felt longer
He’s still
sad but a little stronger.
He just missed
her every single day
and wished
she could have stayed.
And he
remembers the day
that she
had to slip away.
Life was good.
He felt blessed.
He had love.
He knew happiness.
Before life slipped his love away.

Broken Heart

Every heart
Should be broken once in life
because it
beats stronger after some strife.
After all,
the hope of Spring’s new breath
comes after
the gloom of winter’s death.
