Travelers
We traveled trillions of miles to come hereMaybe we experienced a bit of fear We journey through the womb to a bright placeThe familiar voice reveals a beautiful face Innocent, helpless, needing protectionFeeling love, abundant affection Learning, tasting, ever growingMountains, valleys, rivers flowing Climbing steep, dangerous roadsJagged cliffs, heavy loads Traveling to awe-inspiring placesSeeing many…

Dreams of my heart
Traveled to my hometown, filled with a myriad of emotionsFound my parent’s graves, their names were there —–But they weren’t there The town was too crowded now Too many buildings, too little citrus groves like before The hard Texas freeze and new ways had destroyed themIt was sad, those orange trees had filled the air…

Don’t be afraid, my child I am here, I am here The bogeyman isn’t real The monster under the bed Dissolved into nothingness, gone You are brave and strong No dark force stands a chance Against the faith in your heart Watch the evil run away As you shine your light, blazing bright The light…
