#20

mental vacation
wasting time with empty words
turn the tv off

#19

drizzle and downpour
where clouds hide the mountains
on a vampire day

#18

to stand by your side and walk the same path
in the rain, in the sunshine, in the snow
asking for directions from the Leader
to wake up each morning ready to learn how to love all over again
to fight for you, to fight along side you, to fight with you for the rest of our lives
to forgive you, to enjoy you, to encourage you each day
to be faithful in sickness, in weakness, in pain
to be grateful in health, in strength, in success
to worship our Savior together for all of our days
to submit to you as the Church submits to Christ
to love you

#17

its never fair because
we dont start out equal
were not really the same
except for the very beginning and the
very end
everything inbetween is context

#16

Cry with all that is
left. Who you are. Everything.
Let the truth be known.

#15

over and over and
every morning and
every afternoon until
every evening and night

then it all starts again

this life, this love, this giving of
everything you give that makes
us everything we are

each opportunity echoes the
promise of eternity

where there is no faith
for all is seen
for all is known

# whatever

it just keeps raining

contagiously.

the storms keep spreading

starting in the ocean and

traveling over my home and

closing the passes and

drenching the rest of the country.

it stops for just long enough to think that

maybe there's hope

just maybe.

just maybe.

but then it comes back

like a cold that won't leave

that you just can't shake

and on days like this

the rain is so contagious

it spreads to your chest

and settles in as a headache

as a cough

as tears that have to rain

on everything.
