My Heart Does Ache

Soley 
my heart does ache 
for ones taken 
as 
angels bring to heaven 
these innocent people 
who’ve lost 
their precious lives. 

What is the reason why? 

My heart aches 
I weep, we weep 
We cry.

Thunder Clouds Fill The Sky

Thunder clouds fill the sky 
I ask myself 
The reason 
The reason why.

Sun Bursting Out

Sun bursting out
Flying by
Bright light high
High in the sky.

No one asks
No one can deny
Where and
The reason why.

The sun came
To give life, give light
In our
Very own sky.

Only I

Only I

Know the reason why

Only I

Sit in a place filled
With loving gratitude
And grace

Only I

Feel the presence
Of a spirit so strong
Knowing and forgiving

Only I

Is who I see
When I look in the mirror
And see

Only me.
