A Snowy Year Nine
It’s 5AM as I head downstairs for coffee
It’s quiet, still, I look inside me
It’s dark except for the Christmas tree glow
I sit and sip my cup, the thoughts begin to flow
I look up and see your face
I wonder where your hearts at in that place
I ask myself why it’s hard this year
Why the words won’t come, I am in fear
These simple rhymes mean so much
With out them would I lose touch
Through them we share some small space
Through them I am filled with grace
Sometimes I cry and get somewhat sad
These moments are shorter and not all that bad
They cleanse my spirit and clear my mind
They help me enjoy the love each day I find
Snow is coming very soon
Starbucks is in order this afternoon
I think about what you would say
Changing the world or just about the day
The world is different not sure it’s good
I wonder if you saw it, if you understood
The difference we just can’t dismiss
Would enjoy hearing your thoughts on this
You’d challenge my thinking in some surprising way
Helping me grow, my logic gone astray
I love contemplating conversations such as these
They cause me to smile, put my soul at ease
Today keeping me straight fall to your sisters you see
They keep me honest, grounded, focused on God’s beauty
I think you would find joy watching your sisters grow
They’re courageous, success overflows
I miss you my son but, lonely I’m not
A loving family fills any dark spots
I hear your voice, I see your smile
Your pants hang down in some crazy style
The memories I hold onto are playful and fun
The memories I cherish are loving, each one
The blanket of white melted, the road dry
The sun shines bright, another Godly big blue sky
Beautiful Blue Sky
