Fair to middlin' of nowhere

Woke up looking forward
to the plans for the day
When much to my surprise
and dismay
dark clouds came rolling in
full of painful rain
Regrets and sorrows
sliding down my cheeks
Dripping on my heartsleeve
spots and spatters
of over indulgent days
and unhealthy ways
I see myself
wasting away

We all take a wary eye to our unhealthy ways and past mistakes. You have a beautiful soul, let it shine today and forever.

Happy Birthday, Lori.

Happy Birthday!!
Smile, be happy.  Yeah, it’s tough looking back and it’s easy beating-up on ourselves, but life is sharing, and you do that so well with your poetry.  So shooo those black clouds away, be thankful for today, and look forward to tomorrow.  You are unique, talented and blessed.  Yep, you are, Lori!

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Maranatha!
