My Strength Is Made Perfect In Weakness
He gives me the hope I need,
when it seems so out of reach.
He gives me reassurance,
when doubt screams in my head.
He fills this emptiness,
when void echoes loneliness.
Butterfly
A butterfly-free flying,
Beautiful, full of radiance,
Admired by many.
A sign of breaking away
From old self and celebrating life.
EXCERPTS
Open Invitation
My Lord,
I extend my arms gratefully, saying
"I welcome you in today,
tomorrow
and always.
Shower me with your presence.
No Umbrella For Me
Shield me not from the rain.
As the trees, plants and flowers thirst for rain,
I too, thirst.
Tawana (Mikki) Forté
