There comes a time
when truth is really all there is
and facing up to it
is important

There comes a time
when truth is really all there is
and admitting it
is important

There comes a time
when truth is really all there is
and accepting it
is important

There comes a time
when truth is really all there is
and living it
is really all there is

Timely truth

I'd Rather Not Win

Winning - but with heart
Because winning without; it's
Not winning at all

Class Writing Exercise

I am

I am His and born of water
I wonder who I will see in Heaven
I see the waves of growth
I hear the ocean's call
I want to live by the water
I am His and born of water

I pretend I hear the crash, feel the spray, and smell the salt
I feel calmed by the power of the sea
I touch the sand and salt
I worry about missed blessings - mine and others'
I cry when I see people discount their worth
I am His and born of water

I understand so much more now than I did
I say I can make a difference in someone's life
I dream of writing with the tides
I try to explain why they are worth so much
I hope at least one knows
I am His and born of water
