I want to Live in the Country!


I want to live in the country
Not in the City where I don't fit in.
No one there says hello or good morning
I want to be living, the way folks ought to.

I want to live in the country
Where the rain roll down the windows 'til
The taping sounds it makes goes still.
I want to be, living the way folks ought to.

I want to live in the country.
To be able to smell the morning breeze
As the wind dances among the trees.
I want to be living the way folk ought to.

I want to live in the country
Where the neighbors know
When I'm doing well or feeling ill.
I want to be living the way folks ought to.

More on days I didn’t want my troubles. I longed to go back to carefree times. When life seemed as easy as blowing bubbles.   But when I start to feel denied. I simply close my eyes. I’m resting in the arms of God, And I’m wanted and sheltered. It’s peaceful in the arms of God, And that’s all I need to remember. I felt crushed and rejected. Excuses told me, no one was to blame. But that made me feel defeated. Although it didn’t really put out my flame. ...

Had we met, I would have displayed love towards you!

Its been a while since I've written anything other than poetry in my blog. It is about 1:34 a.m. and I should be asleep but I'm restless. On Tuesday of next week, I get scoped to see the effects autoimmune disease has on my digestive tract. It was the urge to cough that awoke me. My titer for Systemic Lupus was hardly positive but the disease seems further along than my blood test shows. My body is super tired and its probably because I've not been getting a lot of sleep. I went to bed at 10p.m. but was awaken by that coughing. Not only my digestive tract is affected but also my thoughts. I've moments of brain fog where the simplest of task is actually quite difficult. My short term memory seems to be greatly impacted. That is actually quite bothersome. There are many things from my past that I would rather forget, but how I feel and what I intend to say, I am more inclined to not remember, as opposed to the distasteful things in life. I can say this much though...

A God of Second Chances

I wrote the lyrics to a Song of Thanksgiving at a time when I was facing serious issues. I struggle with issues stemming from autoimmune disease. In addition I have other medical issues that has not been medically treated. It is like these issues has stolen apart of me and rob me of finding joy and contentment in things that should be celebrated.  I feel my illness has held me back from being my best self. I have pretty terrific children and I do for them in order that they are physical cared for but I feel that most of the time my tiredness does not exclude joy, or love. As a young woman I chose to live according to biblical principles and to have faith and to trust God blindly. However, based on the action of some, I felt unloved and rejected by God. I wasn't truly thankful for feeling unfulfilled and pushed aside, but in this song, I wrote that God was a God of second chances. After the musician created the music and produced the song, in my heart I felt that the lyric to ...
