You are my people.
Perhaps there is no
Kinship of the flesh.
No common goals,
Ideals, or beliefs.
Perhaps you do not
Look like me or act
The way I feel is right.
Maybe you don't . . .

So much I want to share with you!
Things, sometimes sad, I hold inside.
Depths of hurts unexpressed, unallowed,
Threaten the dynamics of who we are
And what we mean to one another.
Some thoughts . . .

I take heart when I see the love of God
Shining in the eyes of others.
I think to myself, Ah, yes, there is hope;
That hope I see in the eyes of a child.
I try hard to let the love shine from . . .

Helga remembered her sister among flowers. In her memory, they walked together, through a garden of them. Helga had been a small child, her sister, grown, to Helga's young mind, at . . .

It was the most ridiculous thing!
Here he stood, all cool business in a light gray suit and tie, making the blandest of polite conversations. And all Allie could think . . .

I wish I would just stop sometimes!
This urge to always, always, always
Try to make people understand one another!
More often than not, I step into the breach
With the 'bestest' of . . .

Don't you know what you are, child?
Don't you know who I am?
Don't you think I know what I am doing here?
What you are doing here?
You are more precious to me
Than every piece . . .

Big words.
They sound so beautiful.
I love to use them
(After I've looked them up
To discover what they mean!)
Sometimes I mispronounce them
Sometimes my friends use them
And I don't . . .

Okay, Lord. I admit it.
I slipped off the wagon.
You told me to think only about
Good, pure, beautiful, lovely things
To focus on the joy.
But today I threw
An angry, rampaging fit,
Just . . .

You know, I get to thinking sometimes
About how everywhere is a nice place to visit
But you wouldn't want to live there.
I've been many places in my life and
Each time I arrived, I was . . .

We all want to look good to people.
To those who, we think, matter.
In public we try to act as if we've never
Done anything wrong in our lives.

Carefully, I make my way across a great divide
It's difficult to span it, but I must.
I need to let you know how much I care,
Yet still cannot allow for you to think
That I condone the things . . .

She worries way too much
About things completely unimportant.
And I worry about her because
She is my family and my friend.
I try to make her smile,
Be there for her, teach her to
Relax . . .

I look into your eyes and see your pain.
It must be horrible, living where you are.
You want to believe. You want it so badly.
But the so-called facts convince you otherwise.
I see darkness . . .

Peter wanted to cut somebody's ear off.
He was so mad, he was ready to fight.
The Lord told him, "That ain't right!"
Jesus took that man's ear, (The man with
That bunch who . . .

I wonder what they said about
Jesus, sitting at the sinner's table?
Were all of his 'people' frowning,
Whispering amongst themselves?
We know about the Pharisees
How they thought . . .

I wish I had remembered then
How precious it would be
Now, looking back, to think of them
Snuggling against me.
Yes, they fought like monsters

When I signed up to be your friend
I wanted to do everything possible
To bring you joy and show you love.
I did not quite remember then
That I have always been human,
And being . . .
