Sit

Allow me to sit
Sit alone in the dark of every last feeling that pulls on my heart

Dear Lord

My brother’s wedding is tomorrow. Amazing how fast time flies. Before I know it my 5 month old niece will be 25 and I will be receiving AARP literature in the mail. Sometimes I feel like a rock in the middle of the ocean. The world and all of it’s vibrant colors swimming by. Moving [...]
