While the storm clouds gather far across the sea, Let us swear allegiance to a land that’s free. Let us all be grateful for a land so fair, As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer: God bless America, land that I love, Stand beside her and guide her Through the night with a […]

The Milky Way Galaxy has over 100 thousand million stars. Scientists also report that there are over 100 billion galaxies in the universe. Maybe your getting stuck in traffic or having to deal with a petulant child isn’t that big a deal in the grand scheme of things.

‘You think I don’t understand English…but you’re mistaken. I heard you talking about sushi and a movie and know your plans don’t include me. Fine! I’ll just sit here bored out of my mind for four hours while you two paint the town. Don’t think for a minute that the customary doggie treat is gonna […]

Sure we have gridlock in Washington. There’s discontent on both sides as our election clearly showed. A racial divide became a chasm and no quick solution is in sight. The haves seem to have it all and to the poor, it seems there’s no door to the American Dream. The left and the right have […]

Together

March 28, 2017

I’m no stranger to the rain…been bushwhacked by heartache and saddled with pain. With you, I spring to life again. Just how you do it is not that important. What matters is that we’re together…that we can make it through any kind of weather. I’m no stranger to the rain…and yet with you I believe […]

Alone

March 28, 2017

Lucas doesn’t know anything different. The arguing…the yelling, it’s not normal but seems to be an everyday occurrence at his house. He internalizes emotions that would be too difficult to feel. Being an only child, there’s really no one to talk to…no one to listen even if he could open up. Lucas believes his stepdad […]

Little things

Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset, the giggle of a grandchild, the first snowfall. It’s the little things that make happy moments, not the grand events. Joy comes in sips, not gulps. Sharon Draper
