Reflection 2016 to 2017

The year is coming to an end

A year that started with a prayer for hope

Soon to find out hope had abandon me

Lost in my thoughts and despair

Hiding from all around me

Pulling away from those who cared

There were times of great joy mixed in

But joy did not bring hope

Lost in meaningless distractions

Losing sight of the one who I loved the most

With a distance growing longer each day

Almost out of view

My year took an amazing turn

I found new life, I found new hope

Was my change too late?

That is an answer for the years to come

Amazing changes to my heart and to my soul

Seeing two of my daughters find their mates

Exchanging vows with the men who took their hearts

Working my way back to the one I love

As this year comes to a close

I report to you that hope has returned

Joy has lifted my heart

Looking forward to the year ahead

Thanking God for all he has done for me

Hope, Joy, Love, Happiness

May these be in store for you this year

Have a Blessed 2017

Mend

~ A Soldier's Walk ~ 4 Comments

fixing-broken-heart

Broken pieces all around

Shards litter the ground

Walking among fragments of a heart, shattered

Trying to mend what was broken apart

Trying to put the puzzle of her heart together again

Piece by piece I try to repair

Praying that they hold tight

I patch, I mend, I try my best

Knowing that much of this I cannot fix

Beyond my control, Beyond my grip

I can only pray to the one who can make a broken heart perfect once more

Lord of all please make full what had been hollow

Replace the damaged pieces of this heart so pure

Make whole the connection of our two hearts again

Amen

Change of Heart

Knowing the pain you feel

Understanding that I’m to blame

Ignorance was what I showed you

Neglecting what you needed

A change to my heart was required

Transformation was what happened

I have no answers to your questions of how and why

All I can say is my heart for you has changed

Wanting you more than I can say

Excited by your touch, stimulated by your essence

Looking in your eyes is spellbinding

Hard to look upon the past

Praying for our future forward

Waiting is all I can do

Leaving is something I can’t

You are my Today, Tomorrow and Forever….

 

 

In Your Eyes

~ A Soldier's Walk ~ 2 Comments


In your eyes

Reflecting back at me 

I see myself mirrored back

My future with you teasing 

Seeing what could be

My past with You tormenting 

Seeing what could have been 

What I comprehend is a glance

A sight of a love that we pray will grow

In your eyes I see a hope for our future 

A sadness of our past

The love we share in the now. 

Regrets

Looking back upon my past

So much of it, I see much regret

How I acted and treated the ones I loved

Especially the one who I should have appreciated the most

Denying you the love you deserved

Not showing you how much I truly cared

I left so many words unspoken

I left so many feelings trapped inside

You needed just a few words of reassurance

Words describing how beautiful you are

When I think of the time I have wasted

A fool I was and it almost cost me it all

Today I will not let my heart hide how much I care

Tomorrow I will prove the depths of my love for you

Forever I will stand by your side as your friend, supporter, encourager and lover

I will live from today on forward with no regrets

For I will show you each day the enchantment you have upon my heart

Today, tomorrow and forever my love for you is true
