My Least Favorite Things

 The other night I saw a very funny ” Sound of Music” inspired episode of ” Will and Grace”.
It reminded me of a poem I wrote a few Christmas’ ago.

 Pilgrim’s Prayer
Lord, love on me.
Restore life in me.
Grow joy in me,

You’ve walked with me every step of […]

I’m here. Still here.
The help that I need, I don’t feel I deserve.
I think I’m too sick to ever be cured.
I’ve broken my own heart a thousand times,
Looking for […]
