Staring at a photograph,Wishing I was there-Chatting to you,Laughing, reminiscing-You came back,After so many yearsAnd so many tears;You’ll never knowHow I shut down-How I lost faithIn friendship itself-Then I let go,And opened up-Prayed for you often;Never imagined,That I wouldFind you again-Do you miss me?I don’t know-But I wish I was there. ©️ M.Patterson 2026

Steadying; calm- throughout the chaos-You’re a beacon of hope to me;Heart that breaks throughSelf made ramparts-Hidden things you see. Glad to welcome me as I am-You’re not afraid to speak;Hands extended,Helping me forward-You’re the kind I seek. ©️ M. Patterson 12.3.26

I want to share this post by Angel, that uplifted me tonight. I couldn’t think of my own words to say, but Angel so beautifully captures the way God walks through pain with us and helps us get strong again.

A regretful argument;All swords drawn-Scars busted open;Bitterness born-Children pleading,” Make it stop!”-Words unspoken;Morale- dropPleasant wordsNow put to bed;Habit now toHurt instead-Reflection needed;Time alone-Years to processOn my own.Hellish nights,I can’t see through;Then I recall,He is the glue-Time in the WordSo swiftly spoken-Counteracts liesThat left me broken-Rising up,I cross the room;Trusting thatHe’ll weave His loom;Not my story,Lest…

I’m sitting here watching many videos of James Van Der Beek. At first, when I read the news, I couldn’t bear to see photos of him unwell. I wanted to fix the youthful, strong and energetic version of him in my mind. As I read more about his life and his love of his wife…

Pain turned to missing- And missing turned to hope; Forgiveness flowed with stories shared Of memories long ago. The door no longer bolted; A window now stays open; Melodies fill the soul- As Winter melts away. Smiles and hearts aglow; Never looking back; Connection at the core- Pretence not invited. Hope unfolds its petals; Perfume…

For 3 months, we have had three queen mattresses in our modest sized, over cluttered house, all in a bid to find support for my chronic back pain, triggered by weak core strength and lifting a 15kg toddler. What was meant as a few days on the couch turned into two months for me, and…
