Encouraging words of wisdom
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres...
And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these is love.”
—Bible (I Corinthians 13:4-7, 13)
My Mountain is but a hilltop...
This hilltop I climb is as many mountains I’ve climbed before
I walk this trail not knowing my path but too afraid to go astrayI am then following the path of those who have come before meNot knowing their fate but hoping to be lead to a place of peaceA time or two I slip on a rock or a steep slope only to land in harms wayI’ve received many bruises this way, with only my hands to catch my fallI long for loving arms to caress me, be it for the wind I’d have only lonelinessThe birds sing joyous songs that sound like loud roaring laughterI pretend they are the angels of light coming to watch over meThis reality is but an illusion I dare not face
