Stuck in the Mud

On October 18, 2017October 27, 2021 By Sandy B.In depression, poem3 Comments

Looking at my backyard after 3" of rain and my son-in-law working on our retaining wall, I was reminded of a poem I posted in October of 2017. Maybe you are feeling stuck. You are not alone. I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out …

A Poem Today

On December 29, 2015 By Sandy B.In poem3 Comments

A poem today! A poem today? Can I write a poem today? Must it rhyme on every line? Or simply flow like sweet red wine? Without a catch, without a care, Like laughter in the open air! Not to please, or to appease, Or to impress like the fanciest dress. Not to uplift, or to …

Tripped Up

On September 15, 2014 By Sandy B.In God, grace, love, poem1 Comment

I get tripped up rushing forward, Or curled up in hesitation. I want to flow upon the waters Or spread my wings in exhilaration! Yet whether I walk, run or fall, Whether I excel or have nothing to show, God never turns away, or scoffs at me, No, He is right here helping me to …

Remembering

On March 4, 2014April 1, 2021 By Sandy B.In hope, poemLeave a comment

Looking out on the gray and crying sky, Hearing the wind raging, “Why God, why?” The trees’ hearts are breaking, in pieces they lie. Has the whole earth forgotten the source of its joy? When will it remember the birds in their flight, As they soar on the breeze in the warm sunlight, Or the …

Q is for …

On January 19, 2014 By Sandy B.In poem3 Comments

Sometimes you have to let a letter sit for a while before anything appears in your mind. Q is like that. And then sometimes it seems not as important at first until you really think hard about it. Q. being the odd letter she is, is represented in my life as Quit or Quitting. The …

Trust Is Not Blind

On October 11, 2013 By Sandy B.In faith, fear, poem1 Comment

I held fear before my eyes 'Til all I saw was my demise Anxious thoughts scratched and clawed And tore my face away from God. For man may come to cut and take But will I allow my faith to shake? Nothing can separate me from the One Whose love shines stronger than the sun. …

Not a Worthwhile Poem

On June 8, 2013July 19, 2013 By Sandy B.In miscellaneous, poem2 Comments

Time to write, I know not what. It seems I've been in quite the rut. No words flow, no words stick, It's enough to make this writer sick! LOL! Seriously though, I've been in the throes of some tense situations these past weeks. The advice of my psychologist is to take time to think about …
