There was a boy
He went to war
He fought with valor
He held the scars
He bled in silence
Behind black doors
I tried to heal
the broken parts
My light could not
invade his heart
and
though he’s gone
I love him still
There was a boy
I always will

* AP photojournalist Horst Faas took this iconic photo on June 18, 1965, during the Vietnam War.
*I chose it for its haunting beauty & because the boy in the photo reminds me of a boy I once loved.

Just a girl lost in some ways, found in others.
Writing my thoughts, ideas, dreams, realities, pieces of me ~
not all pretty~ definitely real ~
I'm a mother with faith in God's divine providence. Belief that my mistakes and selfishness and chaotic past are a jumbled tapestry that in the end will be woven heavenly. That all is never what it seems. That good will always claim victory and there is a plan beyond what human eyes and our fallen natures can see. My three children are my miracles, my life, my blessings. They inspire me to be a better woman and human being. I hope that you and I share and learn from each other in the beauty and reality of life on this ever evolving journey. xo

This is a place without masks ~
without broken glass paths ~
This is a place to be free
To be the me He created me to be ~ Just a girl lost

death is not the true end
around the bend
mr bones
awaits us all
can you love again
find a friend
intimate
as our pal lisa
said is not sex
it is a willing offer
of a hand
and time
and heart
and mind
to connect
two to one
one and one
perhaps
