There is a shadowbox inside of me
One not meant for others to see
Sometimes it is filled with pain or dread
When times are troubled inside my head
*********************************
Other times it’s filled with hope, love and glee
The sunnier, shinier side of me
Regardless, it’s there firmly in place
Keeping a watchful frame ’round my grace
*********************************
In my failure I dug deeper into solitude and regret.
During this time of bitterness, I found nowhere and no one to turn to.
With my loss it seemed there could only be one way out.
But,
In failure I can find strength.
In bitter times I can find sweet repose.
In loss I can find life.
Believe…
I dream of a hamlet
One for the soul
A place that was prepared for us
A long time ago
Unsullied or soiled
Filled with faith, hope, and love
At the right hand of the Creator
Borne on the wings of a dove
Hindered words from the naïve
Can speak more loudly
And have more wisdom
Than those uttered aloud
By the mouth of a fool
Indemnify in me O Lord
That I might be a beacon
Infuse my tongue with wisdom
That I might speak your light
Transform my heart
That it will forever be filled
With Your grace – who gave it life
