Life

Life

By: Adrielle R. Bollin

The will to hang on when all else fails

The stubborn refusal to give up and wail

That dogged determination to live and go on

Is found in the hearts of both weak and strong

That uncompromising drive to survive

When impossible is the only other thing to thrive

Yet still all is possible for those who believe

No sky is the limit when vision conceives

Amazing journeys and testimonies sing

When heart and mind and will take wing

The trumpet of God in death's shadow declares

Hope is ever present ever living to share

The peace you gave to save us from wrath

Has given the freedom to choose any path

T'was more than a gift you gave us this day

T'was life in abundance and love, our mainstay

Merry Christmas Everyone

Mark 10:14b - 16 Let the little children come to me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God.  Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.  And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.

Quiet

What can I say folks, my silver-tongue is quiet as a stone these days... All is well, I just can't seem to find a poem in me these days.  Forgive my absence... Here are some photos to hold your attention just a bit longer.  :)

"Cherished Notes"

"Cherished Notes"

By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

The way He loves with all He has

Is so inclusive and unabashed

Like a sudden rainfall or bright moon beam

He overwhelms and shines on me

That perfect love that has no bounds

No greater love will ever be found

He'll show it through a stranger's eyes

You'll see it too in prairie skies

The sacrifice that I recall 

Was just for me, was for us all

He gives me place, gives hope and life

He clothes with peace, removing strife

Like wind which blows but is not seen

Or air so crisp, so clear and clean

Like a sea of green Kentucky trees

Or the wash of blue Caribbean seas

I see His love and feel his grace

As I take it all in, in every place

Though I long for the day He'll come again

I'll cherish each note in nature's pen

"GO!"

"GO!"
By:  Adrielle R. Bollin

Stepping out in the water, braving a new day

I'm having trouble moving, fear of failure in my way

I'm already on adventure but I've come to this crossroad

 I could take my leap of faith or take the road I know

Will I brave the great divide, have the experience of my life

Or will I take the way that's easy and and forever wonder why

Will I trust you where you lead me or go on my own way

Thinking I must know me better, like by your hands I was not made

Oh forgive my hesitation, I know not what I wait for

And please will you be patient, do not leave me at this door

Couldn't you just push me, It's like my feet are frozen

"Just go!" I say to myself, "You know it's the way you've chosen!"

Think of all that's waiting, all that's to be discovered!

Lend your hand to help another and live your life uncovered!

Drink in the open spaces and watch the mercy flow
Merge into your own calling, come on now, GO!

Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee. Isaiah 60:1
