I wrote this poem many years ago when I was a teenager. As you may have guessed, I was also going through my Science Fiction phase at the time.
Excuse me...

I am wet all over. The rain has mostly stopped, except for a slight drizzle, but a couple walks ahead of me, umbrella held high. They are laughing. And drier than I am, that's . . .

I wrote this poem when I was a teenager. I just figured I'd share it.

"I think I've been depressed." I told my sister, Kathryn,
"Oh, I could've told you that." She informed me.
I swerved my head to read her eyes. "How'd . . .

"Where was God?" She asked me
With storming eyes and jerky movements
As she spat the words into my face.
I was speechless for a moment.
Not because I didn't know the answer. . . .

They say nobody lives there.
Rose does.
Her bedroom window
On the second floor?
She peeks from it.
Her voice echoes,
Calls me,
Each time the wind blows.
Her ghost walks
Haunts . . .

Hope Is a multicolored rainbow
That shoots across the darkness
Of life's sky and leaves one gasping
At the sight of it in wonder.
It is an elusive, insubstantial sort of
Thing. By it's . . .

I wish I could put into words.
How much I appreciate the kindness
That you have shown.
I want to shout it from the rooftops
Tell it to the neighbors and all the world.
But I'd just sound . . .

My little bit may not bring me
World recognition or endless fortune.
It may not change a nation
Or end world hunger.
I may not be remembered as
Having done that much at all.
But if I have . . .

You know, I've had this argument going
With myself. For quite sometime, now I have
Tried to figure out which is the worst sin.
One part of me says this, the other part
Swears that, . . .

We're not just your ordinary people.
We try to blend in. We try
To see the world the way you must,
But we are the Others.
We march to the tune of a different
Drummer. Our . . .

The joy of knowing Jesus
Rises up in me like a great flood
Wanting to overflow and fill
Everything in every area of my world.
I want all of the people I know
To taste the sweetness of it-- . . .

Recently my husband's brother, Rodney, lost the love of his life. It was very sad for us all, because he'd only found her for a short while. No longer than two years, I'm sure. . . .

I know it looks like
I am just sitting still.
But if you could see
What's going on inside!
I am doing a little, happy dance,
Jumping up and down,
Singing and laughing,
Holding . . .

I weep for you.
I sit here in the darkness
And the silence
And I weep for you.
As if such things
Were not happening
The whole world over.
In many, many lives.
Pain's part of . . .

You may be quietly trying to live your life--
To mind your own business.
You might not even "believe" in God, right now.

Like an overflowing cache of diamonds,
Gleaming and shining,
Afire with the beauty of reflected light.
I want to leap into them;
Catch the fire and hold . . .

I wish I could take the love I feel
And bottle it up. Apply it to every wound
Of every person in the world who is hurting.
I love Jesus and he loves me.
But knowing him, I have come to . . .
