POETRY

FRIENDS, FAMILY ARE FOREVER

Family ties are very strong
It's good to know that you belong
To something greater than just you
That extends forever, loyal, true.

One will pass, from time to time,
Out of sight, but still in mind.
No, you won't see them anymore,
Because they've reached another shore.

Another time, another place;
New memories form you can't erase.
They leave their children, family, wife,
And enter to a whole new life.

The family bond will never break.
Their memory you will always take,
Until you, too, reach that distant shore,
And join with them again, forevermore.


GOD is VERY NEAR to the BROKEN HEARTED

GARDEN of the HEART

All I find within is strife
In the desert of my life;
Flowers outside everywhere;
I appear without a care.

Only I see all my pain;
My search for peace has been in vain.
Is there a Way to heal my soul?
A formula to make me whole?

I Am the Way, the Truth, the Life
to rescue you from all your strife.
Your garden outside will grow within
As you turn away from sin.

I know the aching of your heart.
My Child, if you will do your part,
I will free you from your shame
So you'll rejoice, and praise My Name!

Long ago there came a Thief
Who stole from you, & caused you brief.
The sin was his, not yours my Dear,
From that day on, you've had such fear.

This fear has been a driving force
To set you on a deviant course.
You hide from Truth for fears of pain,
And so you search for Peace in vain.

Your heart is gentle, I can see,
But you run away from Me.
One sin leads you to another,
And you hurt your sister & brother.

Seek My Face & know My love,
unconditional - from above -
Total,, complete - I never condemn
Your tender heart; you are My friend.

I await you Child, & I'll forgive.
Don't run away!  I want you to live!
I'll heal your soul & set you apart,
And plant a garden within your heart.

It's true!  I promise you!
I wrote this for a woman who had
been sexually abused in childhood.
I've written a dedication on the next page.


Isaiah 58:11
The LORD will guide you always;
HE will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land
and will strengthen your frame.
You will be like a well-watered garden,
like a spring whose waters never fail.

Be still, and know that I am GOD
I will be exalted among the heathen
I will be exalted in the earth. Psalms 46:10

JESUS said, I will never desert you,
nor will I ever forsake you. Hebrews 13:5

You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast
because he trusts in you. Isaiah 26:3

Listen! The Lord called and named Me from my mothers womb.
Isaiah 49:1

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life,
but whoever rejects the Son will not see life,
for God's wrath remains on him. John 3:36

Believe in the LORD JESUS CHRIST (YESHUA),
and you will be saved, and your household. Acts 16:31

You shall be as a watered garden.
You shall be as white as snow.

FIND COMFORT in KNOWING OTHERS have also SUFFERED SORROW

The BIBLE is the BEST source of healing

I have known victims of sexual abuse, both male and female.
My heart goes out to you. In childhood you had something stolen
from you to which the thief had no right. However, that does not
give you permission to steal from innocent people now.

My heart breaks for some who live a life of pretense, hiding from
themselves and others, in one way or another.
Sorrowfully, some wind up in various forms of occult or crime.

You can NOT sell your soul to satan,
Jesus bought and paid for it.  It's His.

It is my hope & prayer that you find the courage within you to
talk about it, and to prosecute the guilty. I have created these
three web pages for you. I wrote the 3 poems, Child of My Heart,
Heart Garden, and Healing for you.  I can only ask that you don't
blame everyone you meet for the one or the few who harmed you.

God be with you.


Dear child
Today I will be handling all of your problems.

Please remember that I do not need your help.
If it happens that you feel in a situation you cannot handle,
do not attempt to resolve it with ways that are your own.
Kindly put it in the SFJTD (something for Jesus to do) box.

It will be addressed in MY TIME, not yours.
Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold on to it or
remove it. Holding on or removal will delay the resolution of
your problem. If it is a situation that you think you are capable
of handling, please consult me in prayer to be sure that it is
the proper resolution. Because I do not sleep nor do I slumber,
there is no need for you to lose any sleep. Rest my child.
If you need to contact me, I am only a prayer away.
Love, Yeshua  /  Jesus


Listen for the Silent, Sweet Sound of His Voice

When you are tired and discouraged from fruitless efforts...
God knows how hard you have tried.
When you've cried so long and your heart is in anguish...
God has Counted your tears.
If you feel that your life is on hold and time has passed you by..
God is waiting with you.
When you're lonely and your friends are too busy even for a
phone call...God is by your side.
When you think you've tried everything and don't know where
to turn ... God has a solution.
When nothing makes sense and you are confused or frustrated
God has the answer.

If suddenly your outlook is brighter and you find traces of hope
God has whispered to you.
When things are going well and you have much to be thankful for
God has blessed you.
When something joyful happens and you are filled with awe ...
God has smiled upon you.
When you have a purpose to fulfill and a dream to follow ...
God has opened your eyes and called you by name.

Remember that wherever you are or whatever you are facing ...
GOD KNOWS!!

You are set apart for God, and He has accepted you
because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the
Spirit of our God have done for you.   1 Corinthians 6:11

THAT  WHICH  DOES  NOT  KILL  US  MAKES US  STRONGER

I'll See You Again
Yeshua / Jesus welcomed them HOME!
You have left your footprints on my heart

I was inspired by Josh McDowell's 2002 radio program on the loss of a baby.
This can be applied to the loss of a parent or spouse also, in some modified ways.
'Little Footprints' has a beautiful line 'you have left your footprints on my heart.'

I'll HOLD YOU in HEAVEN
is a Book by Pastor Jack Hayford
For all women who have lost a baby/child.
You WILL see them again in heaven to hug and to hold!

ALL BABIES go to JESUS, to HEAVEN

Some name their unborn baby.
Some buy a physical memento.
One father who's wife miscarried went out and bought a ring
for his wife with the birthstone of the month the baby died

If you have lost a child remember
People mean well, but tend to say 'the wrong thing'
Forgive them

If you know someone who lost a child buy the book.
This can be a great witnessing tool for grieving parents who are unsaved.

Debbie minister to parents who have suffered the loss of a child.


Keepsake: Little Footprints
This beautiful matted keepsake is a wonderful gift to minister
to a couple who have gone through a miscarriage. With the poem
'Little Footprints' inscribed on it, it gives mourning couples
a tangible way to help them grieve their loss.


Just as you do not know the path of the wind
and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman,
so you do not know the activity of God who makes all things.
Ecclesiastes 11:5

Did not He who made me in the womb make him,
And the same one fashion us in the womb?
Job 31:15

For You formed my inward parts; You wove me in my mother's womb.
I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully
made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book
were all written The days that were ordained for me,
When as yet there was not one of them.
Psalms 139:13-16

They have crossed the Eternal Bridge
