Without Stain

God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you,  to go through it, not without pain, but without stain. ~ C. S. Lewis

A Solitary Soul

155

I’m a solitary soul, without love at my side, A life alone, with just myself to keep. I’ve no hand to hold, no man in whom to confide, No comfort in the night, no kiss upon my cheek.

Plenty by Emily Romrell

184

Plenty is abundance in life,
Personal growth underway,
Happiness that no knife,
Can cut or strip away.
If you look it’s waiting for you,
Every single day.

Sunflowers

429

All flowers are happy in their way,
But dear Helianthus you win the day.
Every aspect of your nature is sunny.
Even your face tracks its eponym across the sky.

The Tide Will Turn

363

When you get into a tight place & everything goes against you until it seems that you cannot hold on for a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place & time when the tide will turn.

My Eulogy

314

I think Tom Sawyer had it right. It’s a gift to hear and see what others think Before you adventure past the brink Before you leave this world behind What legacy is left in others’ minds?

The Golden Moments

319

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. ~ George Eliot
