City of Roots
The closer I get to the city
The more memories come flooding back
The bittersweet conflict of emotions…
Heart at War
My heart is at war with itself
It is full of gratitude for the God's blessings in my life
But there is a longing waiting to be filled
My heart is pulled in two directions
It is full of joy from time with loved ones
But there is an ache for a family of my own
My heart is learning to balance in contentment
It is lifted by the laughter with friends
But deflated by moments of loneliness
My heart is a beautiful contrast of emotion
It is full of love and joy in God's love
And met with peace and comfort when it aches
I find such joy in spending time with friends and families
I fight to stop those moments from being laced with ache and longing
But pressing in to that allows a deeper appreciation for it

Peace and Heaviness
I feel a heaviness
The weight of what I know comes next.
Accompanied by peace….
For a Moment
With eyes closed, I feel your arms around me
I look into your captivating eyes
Full of love, seeing into the depths of my soul
Just for a moment, we are together again…
