GOD, Grant me the ambition to have dreams of my own and the skill to achieve them of my own hands. Grant me the discernment to know Your will for my life and the grace to embrace it. And finally, LORD, grant me the wisdom to know the difference.

Posted in Poetry, tagged Death, Grief, Loss, Love on October 22, 2009 | 2 Comments »
When report cards were still scrutinized and loving nods of approval were still sought after, that’s when she used to love me.

These are the words that should’ve been written by mothers’ hand. Her penmanship is so stylistically ornate and beautiful. Seeing them written on paper in her hand would be a blessing. But my mother never took the time to write down the priceless pearls of knowledge that she possesses. She’s such a busybody. She’s busy [...]
