looking for affirmation
all around
it lifts me up off the ground
looking for affirmation
from authority above
or space below, love
wasn’t I meant to be cherished?
~ ~ ~ ~
but you are, blessed son
your life has almost just truly begun
to grow better
by the day
in the way
you seek Me first
even when you feel at your worst
I promise, it’ll work with time
my Word is my line
above my Name
and your ugliest shame
see how your reflection
reflects from my own face
and grace
that’s carried you
as you grew
your brothers are different
that’s how I made them
but you’re unique
my Face you must continue to seek

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Oh I love that line “my Word is my line” might be doing double duty—it’s a promise and a boundary.✨
