Remembering past, page by page
Flipping through one more memory
Reliving yesterday’s heartaches
Manuscript’s incomplete, hollow words
Steaming locomotive hurls dreams
Sitting alone throughout this night
Waiting for next stop, none scheduled
Life’s empty script, more unfulfilled scenes
Seeing only darkness tonight
Looking out into gloom’s abyss
Thinking, will morning arrive soon?
Starless sky offers nothing to find
Hearing dreadful noise far ahead
Tumbling from seat, frail ego bruised
Realizing train’s journey derailed
Future’s blueprint—one big, jumbled mess
Waking to sunrise’s promise
Feeling blood flowing through veins
Pinching self, wanting to make sure
Yesterday forgotten, quiet now

The only way to find happiness in the grind of life is to do so by faith.
From 2 Corinthians 5:6-7: “So we are always confident, even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord—for we walk by faith, not by sight.”
Mother joins baby
Replenishing energy—
Growing together
Past memories teach
Navigating one more storm—
Ship staying afloat
Every flowing verse
Drawn in deeper with each sip—
Not wanting to leave

Liberty will not descend to a people, a people must raise themselves to liberty.
People have only as much liberty as they have the intelligence to want and the courage to take.
