HAPPY NEW YEAR! HAPPY 2012!

Whether or not this new year brings a lot of joy or continued pain and heartache, I pray that you receive blessings from God. This could be finding Him for the first time, or it could be temporary relief from pain and suffering, or it could be even complete relief from pain and suffering. Just keep in mind that all of these blessings can come in ways we might not expect, and they may even be painful themselves.

This year, starting today, I will be posting here poetry and other works from my second book. I would like to see today’s poem be true, but as I just mentioned above God’s blessings can sometimes come through pain.

Be a Man

People say “Be a man!”
All I see when we act like men is
Fear
Pain
Suffering
Death
Instead I take it like a kid
I run to my Father and get
Love
Care
Healing
Life
I will not say “Be a man!”
I will say “Run to Dad!”
