You opened your arms to welcome me
You spoke as to a friend
You smiled as we passed
Your heart whispered,
As it flowed alongside mine
“Come Home”
Your charm and beauty inspire me
Your soul reaches out and touches me
Your spirit fills me with endless possibilities, and
Calls Me Home
You wrap me in a warm embrace,
As if a long parted lover
You fill me with joy and comfort
A sense deep inside, that you are
Calling Me Home.

Vase (Photo credit: rpongsaj)
I give it all to you, Lord Jesus
This mind
This soul
This heart
The spirit within
I am letting go
Letting it all go
All the muddled thoughts
All the mixed emotions
All the confused feelings
Too much, too many
Have scarred the very essence
Of this being
I give to you
This empty vessel
This blank slate
For you to make it new
For you to fill it up
Fill it to overflowing
With Your goodness
Your grace
Your light
Your love
Write what you will
On this blank slate
That is me
Waiting to be cleansed
And renewed
With Your Spirit, Lord Jesus

Love of My Life (Photo credit: Crismatos ♥ Seize the day)
This was written in 2004
Oh my Love
I feel you
Almost
Here with me
My soul, my spirit, & I
Can barely contain ourselves
We long to run to you
We feel the warm glow within
We see you, glowing
Thinking of me
Your eyes shine
A most radiant smile
Deep within you
Oh Love of my Life
I know you
You know me
We have waited so long
It is almost time
And very soon
We will be
In each others arms
Joy beyond words
Together forever
Oh Love of My Life.

Vision of the senses
The soul senses something coming
The spirit feels it is wonderful
The mind sees signs of change
They don’t know what
Or how
Or when
They just KNOW…
We know
We rejoice in anticipation
We are at peace
The soul becomes still
The spirit quietly waits
The mind is at rest
We just KNOW…

Set your soul on fire…
This is how reaching up, reading, striving to be better, and how other writers can stir the fire in our souls to do better, AND how we can find at least one person who creates in us the desire to BE better, as a human being, a friend, companion, etc.
For years, a huge part of my life has been striving to be a better person, to shed the less than good parts of myself. It is a long and difficult journey to say the least. As I have grown in maturity, I have been blessed to meet many wonderful people in my life who have at least one special quality I’ve wanted to emulate.
Some of life’s experiences have forced me to be better, to do better. Those are the really tough lessons that make us stronger and better. I have been reading much the last several years or so, searching, getting inspired, learning something from each book read.
One book I purchased a few years ago was SHINE by Larry Thompson whose Project Rise & Shine is for people who want to truly SHINE by living the life using the gifts/talents God has given them. His book is partly a workbook, asking questions that make us look deep into ourselves, finding all the awesome things about ourselves many of us don’t remember or not aware of…like what is special about us, what is unique, what are the wonderful things we have accomplished in our lives. Powerful stuff to become aware of, be grateful for, and love about ourselves.
Then I read the book Fierce Conversations (Achieving Success at work and in life, one conversation at a time) by Susan Scott!!!!!!!!!! Wow! EXPLOSIVE…fierce and intense! From the beginning I was so inspired… My spirit, my soul cried out…’I want for all who encounter me for any reason, but especially those special close friends, family, business associates – I want to be a breath of fresh air, inspiration for hope, feeling peace, and to know they are loved.’
I want to be the very best I can be in every way, so that even in a small way I may encourage or inspire others who come into my life.

Empty Vase
I give it all to you, Lord Jesus
This mind
This soul
This heart
The spirit within
I am letting go
Letting it all go
All the muddled thoughts
All the mixed emotions
All the confused feelings
Too much, too many
Have scarred the very essence
Of this being
I give to you
This empty vessel
This blank slate
For you to make it new
For you to fill it up
Fill it to overflowing
With Your goodness
Your grace
Your light
Your love
Write what you will
On this blank slate
That is me
Waiting to be cleansed
And renewed
With Your Spirit, Lord Jesus

Where has it gone
My inspiration
Where are they now
The words
It’s like the heart
The soul and spirit
Have been put to rest
Gone into hibernation
Holy Spirit stir my being
From this slumber awaken me
Fill my heart with song
My soul with your love
Infuse my spirit
With your inspiration
Guide my hand
In the writing of the words
May the writings shared
Encourage and inspire
Bring joy and cleansing tears
Healing to mind, heart, and spirit.
