Walls of My Heart | In the Shadow of Old Glory

https://intheshadowofoldglory.wordpress.com/2012/04/02/walls-of-my-heart

In the Shadow of Old Glory. Life, love and laughter. Walls of My Heart. Asymp; 2 Comments. Here’s a new poem I wrote the other night… I know it’s rough, but lemme know what you think. 🙂. Walls of my Heart. My heart has walls. Walls to keep me safe. But thats the funny thing about walls. They tend to work both ways! While I’m desperately hiding away. My fragile, quivering heart,. I’m blocking out the love. That’s been banging on the gate so long! Now, the hinges are rusty,. The lock is stuck for good.

My Writings | eagleinthestorm

https://eagleinthestorm.wordpress.com/my-writings

A young woman's candid thoughts on God, life, and writing. If Wishes Came True. Like many writers, I began writing because of reading. I taught myself to read when I was 4, before my mom began to teach me (ha! 😉 ), and have been reading avidly ever since. I scarcely get carsick, and it was not unusual to see me and my 3 brothers sitting in the back of our minivan whenever we drove places, steadily reading. And so it seemed a natural thing to begin to compose my own stories. I read about Janet in. The fi...

Eagles? | eagleinthestorm

A young woman's candid thoughts on God, life, and writing. If Wishes Came True. When the idea first struck me to start a blog, I was probably more enraptured with the idea of figuring out the colors and fonts than what would go on the inside. Okay, I was. But I often do that figure out the book’s publisher and start planning the sequel when I’m not even done with chapter one! As she told the story of a couple who learn to love one another again, she used analogies from the eagle. Did you know. You are co...

If Wishes Came True | eagleinthestorm

https://eagleinthestorm.wordpress.com/my-writings/if-wishes-came-true

A young woman's candid thoughts on God, life, and writing. If Wishes Came True. If Wishes Came True. One morning the village men carried my father’s body up from where they had found it, gray and bloated on the sea shore. Last night there had been a storm as sudden and fierce as an aroused lion. Every man had managed to force their small fishing boats back to shore and safety before the winds grew too strong. Every man… but my father. And lastly my collection of seashells. I stood by the edge of the stre...

My Prince | In the Shadow of Old Glory

https://intheshadowofoldglory.wordpress.com/2011/09/16/my-prince

In the Shadow of Old Glory. Life, love and laughter. Asymp; 2 Comments. I wrote this poem one day while waiting for my sister at the vet, after a very difficult day, and several unpleasant conversations with my parents…. Most girls dream of princes. But not this one. Tall, dark and handsome, yes. But no steed for me. I dreamed of a hero. Someone who saves lives. Prince wears combat boots. But where could he be? AWOL, it would seem. For I’ve seen no sign of him. You say he’s coming. In Your perfect time.

Perspective is a funny thing | In the Shadow of Old Glory

https://intheshadowofoldglory.wordpress.com/2012/05/12/perspective-is-a-funny-thing

In the Shadow of Old Glory. Life, love and laughter. Perspective is a funny thing. Asymp; Leave a comment. As we know, I’ve been dealing with the chemo treatments pretty well – some nausea the week following, and of course, the hair loss, but other than that they’ve been going very well. Still, it’s easy to get discouraged. A week is a long time to be nauseated! That uncertainty of whether I’m. And then, God sends a message straight from heaven. “You think you have it rough, eh? Honestly, I don’t h...

Do Me a Favor | In the Shadow of Old Glory

https://intheshadowofoldglory.wordpress.com/2011/09/16/do-me-a-favor

In the Shadow of Old Glory. Life, love and laughter. Do Me a Favor. Asymp; Leave a comment. This is a poem I wrote after the Chinook crash in Afghanistan. Do Me a Favor. Do me a favor. And don’t ever die. Cause don’t you know. My love is not a lie. I have set my heart. You have a part of me. Whether near or far. You say you’ll be fine. That nothing will happen. But I’m begging you, brother-mine. Please, be careful! War is dangerous, it’s ugly. No one is immune. The trip is deadly. So please, my friend,.

In the Shadow of Old Glory. Life, love and laughter. Asymp; Leave a comment. Love is a four letter word. It brings meaning to a relationship. But with it comes danger. When tossed around freely. Like any four letter word. Carelessness will bring pain. But with careful use and placement. Love can bring change you never expected. Use of this word. Without the responsibility it demands. Brings confusion and anger. And ultimately, utter heartbreak. Love is a four-letter word. We daren’t use loosely. It puts ...

In the Shadow of Old Glory. Life, love and laughter. And so it continues…. Asymp; Leave a comment. Based on a true story. Life, that is! OK, all of you know that I nearly died in February. If you don’t know, now you do. 🙂 I’m doing fine, almost done with treatment. Moving right along, then. The OYAN Summer Workshop is coming up again in June, and I can’t wait! But, with the speed this year is already moving at, I figure we'll hit Christmas and I'll still be thinking it's August! Larr; Previous post.
