faith hope love
i was uprooted from my garden
the garden where my sweetness gave me love
the place i had borne fruit
my faerie tale
&
an unknown took place
where all i had loved was taken
…
laughter where did you go?
gratitude where did you go?
safety where did you go?
dear god in the heavens where did you go?
…
sweetness i miss you
sweetness i miss you
sweetness i miss you
…
along the journey
the beauty of life started to shine through
blue heavens
sunshine stroking my cheeks
blooms blossoming in rose violettes blues greens
in millions of shades
baby deer's & bunnies everywhere
flowering butterflies
a world of smiles
…
the gift of new life
such joys
such happiness
i prayed
dear god in the heavens help me
trust your way
and for me to
embrace the magic
of
faith hope
&
love
