The hush of the night
Breathlessly floats on the breeze
Carrying secrets

I wrote this when my daughter, Alyssa, was in the hospital. It was such a helpless feeling. One I hope you never have to experience. I thank God every day that she is okay….He listens, even when you think He’s not…always have faith.
How can I take away your pain?
I watch, as your color begins to drain
Clenching my chest to bring it to me
Taking the horror you feel and setting you free
Praying to God, in Heaven above
Knowing he hears me, embraces with love
Reminding me always, this is part of his plan
As he holds you close, in his loving hands

For she is of a simple face
A fragile beauty, with gentle grace
Nestled among the lush of green
The likes of which you’ve never seen
Flora, beneath the heavenly hue
Soaking in colors, from skies of blue
Basking, under the brightest light
Swaying, beneath the dark of night
In this field, such sweet romance
Beguiling, she captures with a glance

Promises spoken in the dark
Words from lips lie cold and stark
Forgotten, as quickly as they’re said
Breathless, still, as we lie in bed
Turned away, no longer embraced
Satin nights that cannot be replaced
With a fire, once burning inside the heart
Slowly extinguished, as we grow apart
