I once boarded a boat and sailed
Right through the sea of life and then failed.
Regret and sadness prevailed.
Then patience and forgetting availed.
In life we travel with so many hopes,
Yet Fate pulls away these hopes with ropes.
When contentment and faith dwell in your heart,
Anxiety and regret will eventually depart.
Life is a school; we always learn
In prosperous times or when they are stern.
I neither know my fate nor am I
Certain of how I shall live or die.
Yet I am certain that my Lord
Will make me victorious without a sword.

Babydoll Head In My Closet
This frightening experience occurred when I was about eight years old. I used to sleep on the couch downstairs, next to my dad's bed, because I was afraid of the dark. My mom typically wouldn't get home until around 11pm, so I always slept near my dad for comfort.

BARE HUNTER
CHAPTER 15 I pulled up in front of Sandy’s a little early, so I texted Becca again and left a message for Sharon, hoping she had a good day and I’d see her tomorrow. Two cars pulled into Sandy’s driveway. I don’t know why I was surprised to see another man with her. We’d been apart for two years and I certainly didn’t waste any time getting back on the horse.

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.
