This Secret Might be the Death of Me

What do you mean
it won’t happen today?
Keeping secrets –
not really my forte.
I need to tell.
I so desire to share.
Making me wait –
kinda mean and unfair.
Let me help you
with an explanation.
I will describe
the situation.
Picture a dam
holding back the vast sea.
Now look closer
because that dam is me.
And the water
is that darn ol’ secret
I have to keep –
I can’t share quite yet.
“I can’t hold it
together much longer,”
Scotty worried
he thought they were goners.
I can relate –
this is all I can take.
Leaks are springing –
this dam is sure to break!

Beautiful Girl

Beautiful girl,
beautiful Jordyn.
Please realize
you are more than this world.
A gift from heaven.
A princess in disguise.
Beautiful girl,
beautiful Jordyn

You are loved. Oh, so loved.
Blessings like rain,
pour down from above.
Can you feel it? Can you hear it?
That warm loving feeling
comes from the spirit.

Remember your worth.
There is a job only you can do
While on this earth
Angels guide you, walk beside you.
Take care precious daughter.
I will protect you
if you wear your armor

Beautiful girl,
beautiful Jordyn.
Love and laughter
Are needed in this world.
You have many gifts
but continue to seek after.
You are my
beautiful girl,
beautiful Jordyn

That One Special Friend

You’re not all there, are you?
There is no if, possibly, or maybe.
You are in all the way.
Absolutely, positively crazy.
The light is usually off.
A few aces shy of a deck.
Dancing to your own music.
Your dots just don’t always connect.
But I prefer it that way
and that is in no way a shocker.
Because as you can see
I’m also totally off my rocker!

I So Want to Eat Lunch (but it’s only 9:00am)

I am
really very hungry, you know.

Why do
the dumb mornings drag by so slow?

I want
to eat my lunch – dig in – right now.

But this
one thing I won’t – I can’t – allow.

Because
then I will be hungry at two.

And that
won’t work for me – it will not do.

Because
at two I fight to stay awake.

And this
routine I can not, will not break.

If I
give in and eat my lunch too soon

Then I
face a very long afternoon.

What Will This Trial Make of Me?

You have to admit –

it’s overwhelming –

this task you are asking of me.

The burden is great –

all on my shoulders –

the outcome I can’t clearly see.

This has the power –

to break my faith –

and make my beating heart turn tough.

Or the opposite –

will happen inside –

and this will make my heart buff.

This is a hard test –

a sure dilemma –

what will this trial make of me?

Will I be better?

Or will I break apart?

My response defines who I will be.
