~Today!~
Dedicated to Martin Short's Daughter and to Martin Short in honoring her memory! Recognizing signs of trouble is so important, and one of those key items is the right communication! This is where my heart felt compelled to write these words in the hope it helps open a door to change, while giving a place for memories of loved ones and healing to live! When you live so close to the matter it's often impossible to find a way to write the words yourself, so I hope I have helped in some way, however big or small to give what so many people have in common words to that help communicate and reflect this experience right for all who need it! Amen!
May 25th/2026!
~Today!~
Another prayer
For another day
Of trying to pull through,
This prayer
And these words
Goes out to all of you
Who are now missing
From this world!
Just know that you were wanted
Just know that you were somebody's child,
Just know that you are Loved
As those of us who remain
Living in this world,
Fighting through the same
Struggles and issues as you,
Things people
With their naked eyes
Cannot see...
The cry is very real
How do we get through
Another day,
Up against the strife
That never lets up
From the dark side,
That wants us all
To fall,
To stop believing
In a New World ahead,
With all the problems
That weighs the world
Down today,
Finally receding?
So this is me
Sharing my heart,
My tears
My pleas,
My hopes
My wishes,
That somewhere
In all that I CAN DO,
A difference
Will be made,
A difference
For all who need
The message
My words bare,
A difference in which
Nothing can compare!
No matter how bad
It may look and feel,
Turning to each other
And talking it out,
Turning to the Lord
Turning to prayer,
Turning to scripture
That you know is always there...
All of it is better
Than to just not be
Not be here anymore,
Not be anything at all!
You are not forgotten
And will always be loved
And remembered,
You'll always be an ache
For what is missing
From (your father Martin Short's life)
You'll always be what is missing
From the family and friends,
Who will always care
From all of those
Who will never be,
To far from you!
Jesus is the light
The truth and the way,
He died and rose again
He was pierced
In order to help,
Give us strength
To Stay,
To stand strong
And carry on.
Every little step
Every little good thing
We do,
Is as big as 1 step on the moon!
For the witness
The difference in our hearts
And light gives to others,
(As we win over what's against us)
In the differences
Needed for everyone,
Struggling with trying
To understand their purpose,
And why we're living at all?
But trust there is a plan
And take the testimony,
Of those who have broken
Through the clouds,
Trust in the plans of Christ
Trust in the love,
That does abound
In the goodness
That surrounds;
Our love matters
And speaking out
Like I am now,
Writing this for
The memory of those gone,
And those still struggling
The sooner you let someone in
The sooner the goodness of love,
From someone else who understands
And relates,
Can embrace you with a hug
And give you love and light,
For your soul!
The sooner the better,
For the outcome of
One and all.
So please understand
My prayer and wish
Remains the same
Day by day,
Live on
Let God set the course
Of your heart,
Let God set the course
Of your life,
Just lay it down,
And watch and feel the change
That will take place,
Right where you are!
So here's to another day,
Another prayer
Of trying to pull through,
This prayer
And these words,
Go out to
All of you!
Just know
That you are somebody's child,
Just know that you are loved
No matter where you are,
No matter who you are
Your memories,
Your life
Your love,
Lives on
In all of the people
Who know you,
Who will never stop
Thinking about you,
And remembering
All that you are,
All of those good times too...
All that you're worth,
Remains.
No matter how bad
It may look or feel,
Turning to each other
And talking it out,
Turning to the Lord
Turning to prayer,
Turning to scripture
All of it is better,
Than to just not be
Not be here anymore,
Not be anything at all!
You are enough
You are not forgotten,
And will always be
Loved and remembered,
And you'll always be
An ache for what is missing,
From
(Your father Martin short's heart)
And from the lives of your friends and
Other's who care,
We will never be to far from you
We will always be here,
In these words
Where you carry on in our lives.
Jesus is the light
The truth and the way,
He died and rose again
He was pierced,
In order to help
Give us the strength
To stay!
Every little step
Every little good thing
We do,
Is as big as 1 step on the moon
For the witness
The difference in our hearts,
And light
Gives to others,
(As we win over what's against us)
In the differences needed
For everyone struggling,
With trying to understand
Their purpose,
And why we're living at all?
But trust there is a plan
And take the testimony,
Of those who have broken through
The clouds,
Trust in the plans of Christ
Trust in the love
That does abound,
In the goodness
That surrounds;
Our lives matter
And speaking out
Like I am now,
Writing this for
The memory of those gone,
And those still here
Struggling...
The sooner you let someone in
The sooner the goodness of love,
From someone else who understands
And relates,
Can embrace you with a hug
And give you love and light
For your soul,
The sooner the better
For the outcome,
Of one and all!
So please understand
My prayer and wish
Remains the same,
Day by day
Live on,
Let God set the course
Of your heart,
Let God set the course
Of your life,
Just lay it down
And watch and feel
The change,
That will take place
Right where you are.
So here's to
Today...
From my heart and my hand
And
Another prayer
Of trying to pull through,
As I pour these words
Out,
And leave them all here
For you,
To come back to
And read them again and again,
For all the years of
Life,
There still are left to live
Ahead!
Amen!
