Quietly
For my baby, Sara; in memory of her friend Gunner Jones who committed suicide last night. A tragedy that one so young should feel their life was not worth living!! May the angels carry his soul to the arms of the One who will love him unconditionally for eternity!!! My sympathy and prayers are with his family in their time of grief.

Iridescent Bubbles

As I watch the iridescent bubbles
of blue, green, yellow and red
The thoughts of my worldly troubles
keep tumbling all through my head
Shimmers of orange, purple and pink
are two primary colors in fusion
And I just can’t help but think
how all this life’s an illusion
The insults, hurts and the pain
that people in the world do
Will forever in this place remain
when the next we enter into
Why be in a big hurry
and go through life in a rush?
Why should we allow a worry
all our hopes and dreams to crush?
As each bubble goes floating by
I’ll place in it a regret
And pray that it goes so high
into Jesus’ hands it will set!

For my Day 4 Love Letter to Hannah
Elizabeth’s Song
(Image Source: photobucket.com)
My God, my God
there’s so much pain
how could he do this to me?
My God, my God
Your silent refrain
echoes through my ears endlessly
My God, dear God
if there You remain
tomorrow I may not see
For God, oh God
my heart can’t sustain
the sorrow that’s killing me
Oh God, oh God
I’ll make it plain
I need Your sweet serenity!

I wrote this poem as part of a letter writing campaign. To see more on that and how you could become involved with spreading some love this season, go to the following link:

Twelve Days Of Love Letters; Dear Elizabeth
I was happy to join in with Kellie and write a letter to Elizabeth. This is an excerpt from my letter as well as one from Kellie’s post should you be interested in getting involved in this campaign. There are more people out there who need to see a little love, especially during this time of year. Although Kellie’s particular commitment ends today, you can sign up to write one for another day/person. Be a blessing to someone this Christmas season, it only costs you a stamp and a bit of your time 🙂
Dear Elizabeth,
Oh my dear young woman, right now you are suffering a pain of enormous magnitude and only you can understand what that is. I am so very, heartily sorry for your sorrow. This time of the year is the worst for a loss of any kind, whether a divorce, break-up of a friendship, death or whatever.
When everyone around you is full of joy, singing Christmas songs, wrapping presents, decorating and all you want to do is hit something or someone! Seems you are crying all the time, or sleeping to get away from crying, but that doesn’t work ’cause when you wake up it starts all over again. All you can do is keep asking yourself why, what you did wrong, if you weren’t good enough, etc.
A broken heart seems, at first, that it will be impossible to heal. I could write a lot of platitudes, famous quotes, or Scripture verses that would all be applicable, helpful, comforting and totally ignored by you because, at this moment, you just don’t want to hear it. The pain is too great to pacified in such a manner as that. Those things will help later, after the rawness isn’t so fresh.
Sound like I know what I’m talking about?…
I wrote you a poem:
ELIZABETH”S SONG
My God, my God

For God, oh God
my heart can’t sustain
the sorrow that’s killing me
Oh God, oh God
I’ll make it plain
I need Your sweet serenity!

This is an excerpt from Kellie’s blog post :
Elizabeth is in her early 20’s and got married a couple of years back. Without warning, her husband recently decided to leave her.
Her close friend wrote, “Elizabeth was strong for a long while but has been shutting out all those who have been supporting her, loving her and trying to point her in the direction of God. Elizabeth is a highly creative individual who is multi-faceted and full of potential. She has been through the ringer and is resisting her true life’s calling.”
Hannah Brencher over at The World Needs More Love Letters, asked me if I would join her in the 12 Day’s of Love Letter Writing campaign which has been featured in Oprah Winfrey’s blog as well as The Wall Street Journal. Of course, I was thrilled and happily accepted.
What is the 12 Days of Love Letter Writing?
We are creating 12 Love Letter Bundles for 12 individuals (all requested secretly by someone in their life that cares about them) across a 12-day span. From December 5-17, we will highlight an individual in need of some extra encouragement in the form of handwritten notes and encourage people to script a letter and send it to our PO Box to be bundled up and mailed off the person.
Shortly after agreeing to be a part of this beautiful effort, Hannah sent me my request letter. A caring friend of Elizabeth’s is concerned and hopes to guide her toward healing by seeking God, friends, family and her creative passions rather than continuing to push people away, as we sometimes do in times of heartache. My heart went out to Elizabeth as I read her story. Having suffered almost every possible loss you can imagine, I was eager to try to connect with her on a personal level; assuring her that “I am just a girl who has had my heart ripped out of my chest and trampled on…more than once.” I also included the following quote in my letter to Elizabeth:
“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.” -Buddha……

Here is Becca’s Letter to Elizabeth: http://beccagivens.wordpress.com/2011/12/07/dear-elizabeth/
Just Another Word
My silence is
what worries you
But there’s nothing
you can do
When it is
just another word
For my pain
that goes unheard
In my suffering
I am alone
Through my silence
do I moan
And this hurt
has me unnerved
When its cause
is so undeserved
So this silence
is another word
For my pain
and suffering unheard!
