How faithful you have been, Lord,
in each of my seasons.
You set your word in my heart
and held my hand

Writing for five unedited minutes on the prompt “Embrace” for Five Minute Friday.
Change, my new and unfamiliar friend
wraps me in an embrace
these cool mornings.
Every time I see a new sunrise
I embrace a morning of change.
Writing for five unedited minutes on the prompt “Friend” for Five Minute Friday.
Oh, my sweet daughter,
I hate to see your heart break.
Your friend, the one who writes you sparkly notes
the one who gives you hugs whenever you meet
Patience, you slay me
with your silence.
No answers, no exit, no relief
for months.
Yet every day you sit beside me
as we watch the sun rise again.
This poem was written in five unedited minutes on the prompt “Abandon” for Five Minute Friday.
Far too long
I’ve sat on this branch
waiting for the perfect time to jump.
