Mama

Mama was a southern girl

She looked like a precious pearl

She gave me unconditional love

It felt like heaven above

Her warm embrace

Always took me to a special place

I remember the teaching sessions

That turned into life lessons

I still hold them dear

I keep other memories near

Mama was faithful and true

She was sweeter than morning dew

Right or wrong

She kept me strong

I remember her smile

And when we laughed awhile

The sound of her voice

Always made me rejoice

She kept me on solid ground

She gave me the joy I found

It’s easy to see

Her memory stays with me

She took me by the hand

Showed me where to stand

And sent me on my way

I cherish that moment every day

No matter where I go

I’ll let the world know

I remember Mama

Two Hearts

Two hearts lay together

Two hearts face stormy weather

They pray as they go

They share what they know

They acknowledge God

With a wink and a nod

They follow His path

Without suffering His wrath

And they embrace love

Sent from heaven above

Two hearts never deny

Or want to ask why

They sit still

As they accept God’s will

They hold hands

Right where God stands

Faith fills them to the core

Then offers them more

They hold each other close

When it matters most

They give each other everything

As they dance and sing

True love starts

With two hearts

Misty Eyes

Misty eyes are the result of tears

A lot of rough years

A lot heartaches and pain

A lot of stress and strain

Some trials and tribulations

Faced without hesitation

Falling to your knees

Not knowing who to please

Listening to naysayers

Instead of saying your prayers

Searching for solid ground

Forgetting who’s around

Searching for a place

Filled with guidance and grace

Looking at heaven above

While searching for love

Trying to find your voice

Learning to rejoice

Developing your pride

Knowing God is on your side

Facing every day

Accepting God’s way

Finding peace of mind

Knowing God is one of a kind

Letting go of fear

Knowing your destiny is near

Should come as no surprise

To misty eyes

In Me

Feel the love in me

It’s where it should be

Feel the hand of God in me

It reaches the core

Then offers much more

Feel perfect peace in me

It aligns with reality

Feel the heart in me

It beats time and time again

As it shows faith will win

Feel solid ground in me

Every special place

Is filled with guidance and grace

Feel the strength in me

I listen to God speak

Whenever I’m weak

Feel the joy in me

God provides a smile

That last me a while

Feel the pride in me

I finally found my name

I feel no shame

One look in my eyes

Should be no surprise

My life long journey

Is meant for me only

There’s no stressing

All you’ll find is a blessing

In me
