A baby's heartbeat

Monday, August 26, 2019



Tonight she held and kissed him one last time
His dad cried as tiny fingers wrapped around his one last time
Tonight they said goodbye to their son
Oh heartbreak and sweet precious time, is there ever enough

Today his heart continues to beat
Inside another
Who needed her to say goodbye and his dad to cry
Oh gift of life that requires such painful sacrifice, his precious life was enough

Enough to save, Enough to give, 
Enough for others to continue to live

In their grief they gave joy
Joy and hope and promise of more

More time, more smiles, more tears and more trials
Oh heartbreak and sweet precious time, there is what there is
May we make the most of whatever is ours to give

In honor of a tiny organ donor
For all my friends and co-workers who lovingly served him and his family
And for his family who so courageously gave.

Sweet Dreams

Monday, July 1, 2019


You’re tired because you’re fighting the voices in your head, demons in your bed
The dark swallows the light and you’re tired
Tired of fighting

Dream sweet dreams
Even if it’s make believe 
Just believe
Dream sweet dreams
Sleep

You’re tired because it’s lying, the voice of unbelief, Explain yourself, who’s yourself, don’t lose yourself
The dark shines brighter than the light and your tired
Tired of lying

Dream sweet dreams
Even if it’s make believe
Just believe
Dream sweet dreams
Sleep

What if the fight doesn’t end with the night
Come the light
What if the battle rages
Come the fight
Wade through the pain, love through the hate, avoid the mines that fill up your mind
Tired of trying

Let them in, let them in, The ones who can’t see
Scream and shout, scream it out
The demons you see, mines they can’t find, voices you hear
Let it out
Let them in

You’re tired because your fighting, trying all alone, the demons lay, voices stay but love doesn’t leave you on your own
The light it comes, won’t be undone, the dark turns grey
Tired

Love won’t quit 
Light is bright, together right
Lay down the fight and sleep tonight
Dream
Dream sweet dreams
Even if it’s make believe
Believe
And dream sweet dreams
