Him

"And she looked at him, really looked at him. Not in a sexual way but rather just seeing the way he was. He had a stray freckle just below his ear. He had a small scar above his eye. His nose slanted down and then outwards a tiny bit. His shoulders were broad, but soft. She ran her eyes down his arms and a gasp escaped from her mouth. The battle scars were many. Some were snow white and others an angry red. She lifted her head and looked into his eyes. A tear fell down her face."

Outwards Good

"The screaming matches, the fist fights. The raw eyes and the red knuckles The night turns to morning All goes to outward good No one knows about The screaming matches, the fist fights"

Light

"The light fell across the room. It painted the walls a soft gold. It lit up the young girls face, making the tears glisten. Her fingers fumbled and ever so slowly drew the artwork across her skin"

What Is Love?

What is love? What is this thing that we feel? When is it true? How do we know when it is real? Is it even real at all? Why does it cause so many people pain? Why does it make people laugh? Why does it make people cry?

Well.

This is love.

A mother getting that toy; even if it means that she can't get a coffee.
A father going to work; even if he doesn't feel like it.
A sister letting her younger sister play with her make-up.
One brother saying to another, 'Hey, let's play a video game together!"
A stranger buying another's meal.
A younger sibling making sure that they don't annoy the older sibling.
A older sibling taking the time to hang out and get to know the younger sibling.
A family sacrificing their time on a Saturday to help another in need.
A gift of money, even when the lender has next to nothing.
A mother getting up at 2am to sooth a crying baby.

But.

Love is more.

Love is a verb, it is something that you do.

Love is a noun, it is something that you are.

Love is so much more than what I, or anyone for that matter, can put into words. But, I do know what the greatest example of Love is. It is Jesus. He died upon the Cross to save us, a life for a life. I do not think that there is any greater love. So, today, show someone some love. So, today, be Love.

So Sorry

 Hey guys, I know that I haven't posted here in a while. I just have been really busy and all, I haven't forgotten about you guys! I am in the starting stage of writing a novel, so I might not have another real post here for a while again. Please bare with me! I love you all!

Full of Fright

So many mistakes, So broken

Tears, blood, sweat- all for nothing.

A broken heart, not once but twice.

A vow broken, a promise made

Again, a promise broken.

All is just broken.

Tears, on my knees crying out to the one that truly cares.

Not hearing the answer, thoughts fly through my head.

Not understanding the answer, so confused.

Failing Faith, Full of Fright 

Hand in Hand

 

Hand in hand,

We stand

Now not alone,

On this journey home,

Through test, trials,

And many miles,

We may go,

But I always know,

That you’re there for me

And I hope you can see

That I’m there for you

No matter what you do.
