New Years is comin.

PART
AAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

The pic:

A little toy soldier

War.

Bag

For 10 years

I had

kept my mother-in-law

Outside my heart.

While I was a long-standing

Tenant

In hers.

And you know what?

She kept me there.

Despite me.

And forgave me

Quickly.

So,

Like always

she came knockin again.

This time

I let her in.

She didn’t mind

Or didn’t see,

Or didn’t care about

The mess in the corner

I didn’t have a place for

Yet.

She just

Walked in

Like she knew

She was gonna

Like the place.

Now

She sits with the others

On the porch

of my heart

Sippin

Lemonade

And playin

Dominos.

A photo

Not possible

Without

Deborah.

My mother-in-law.

Star

I thought I was dealt a blow.

Recently.

Except

God prepared my heart

So it was more like

A finger flick

To the forehead .

He prepared me

For my first thought to be

“Forgive.”

Blast

I hate Fear.
But sometimes
It moves in.
Like a bad neighbor.
Signs a short term
Lease.
Or flips the property
For a profit.
Or
Heaven forbid
(because it did)
Stays a while.
Cooking that nasty food
You smell every afternoon.
Asks to borrow your hammer
And you never see it again.
Think I’ll shun this neighbor.
Put a big white picket fence
Between me and this neighbor.
Tell my son don’t talk
To this neighbor.
Or their bad kids.
I’m not coming to the door
When it tries to sell me something either.
Didn’t you read the signs?
NO SOLICITORS ALLOWED
and
BEWARE OF GOD.

The pic:

What a wonderful dessert.

Sitting on the couch.

In front of the TV.

Formula

Change

Something.

The pic:

My son,

My life.

My God.

Ketchup

You may suffer

For a minute

Then you get a blessing

That lasts for days.

That’s what I’m talkin

Bout.

The pic:

In the ER.

Not feeling well.

Then got blessed

And recovering.

Drinking water

And soup.

Zigzag

Oh boy.

They showed the Kenya slideshow

During church today.

Oh the little faces.

And my tears.

They’re going again

In July

To train the teachers.

My husband wants to go.

Pastor asked him,

“Do you take pictures

As good as Kym???”

Tis

The

Season…

Notice

They’re not on a tree…

Poem #1

Poem#1

Leave me alone.

But don’t leave me.

Read my mind
Or

Didn’t you hear me?

Do it my way
Or change me.

Confused
Lord???

No way.

You
Made
Me.

The pic:

I’m watching

You!

Spirit

Christians

Get angry.

Get rejected.

Cheated on.

Judged.

Lied to.

Hated.

And

Make many, many

Mistakes.

There.

I said it.

And I forgive.

Cause I’m

Forgiven.

You??

The pic:

A rosary.

I believe given to my husband

From the Dean of his old

Law school.

Maize

Sometimes,

God

Pats me on the head.

And I’m glad to be counted

As one of

His children.

At the grocery store

Waiting for

The bus.
