  • The Higher I Rise

    Gigi

    , ,

    The higher I soar in the airThe smaller I seem in the schemeOf things. Underneath me are cares Here and there and everywhere. But up in the sky I realize A view I don’t usually find -Life’s short and one day I will riseAbove all these troubles of mine. Read more

  • So Still, So Small

    Gigi

    ,

    So still, so small, so dear, so weak;So few the days her heart did beat.So hard, so sad to say good-bye; (I did not speak those words or try)But in my soul a woe upfilled;An ache around my heart bechilled.With no other choice but toContinue on, and pass this through To learn that while it’s… Read more

  • Poem Writing

    Gigi

    ,

    When my heart and mind o’erflow My thoughts into a poem go. A vessel fit, my words to hold My ideas to shape and mold. It took a while for me to find This way to tame my wand’ring mind. But when we lost our Valerie dear and the grief was ever near, I took… Read more

  • Harborer

    Gigi

    , ,

    Thou, that slept inside the boat, Soundly, through the storm’s harsh notes, Give my friend a peaceful rest, Free from thoughts that sleep molest. Thou who stills the raging storm, Wrap ‘round her protecting arms, Spare my friend from fear and dread, Send Your angels round her bed. Thou who suffered with all pain; Complete… Read more

  • Dreams to Dust

    Gigi

    They’re not my favorite memories; When my hopes were crushed. The pain oppressed me endlessly, When dreams turned into dust. Sometimes when I first awoke, I didn’t notice pain. But then a brick wall fell on me, And crushed me once again. There were times and there were days I didn’t want to live. Getting… Read more

  • In Desert All Alone

    Gigi

    , ,

    In desert all alone, Dear Jesus fasted there. And to His Father’s throne, Brought all His fervent prayers. In battle fought The enemy, Down on His knees And not for nought. Invited to abuse The power from His Head. But Jesus, He refused To turn the stones to bread. “Man liveth not By earthly fare,… Read more

  • Love Bleeds

    Gigi

    , ,

    Certainly it’s not for faint of heart, At first it seems with love there is no cost; Such innocence is dangerous a start. Onto the sweetness bitterness is tossed, When trials come along; (they surely will.) Love leans in or else it will be lost. The work of love; it always is uphill, A willingness… Read more

  • Walk with Me

    Gigi

    , , ,

    Lord, before me is a task I will do, because You ask. I don’t embark expecting bliss; But by Your grace this rod l kiss. The fiery furnace beckons me, I go, fulfilling your degree. Please, dear Jesus, hold my hand; Give me grace to trials withstand. Humiliation surely calls; Unless You hold me I… Read more

  • Prayer for Peace

    Gigi

    , ,

    You will give me perfect peace, You will make my storms to cease, You will me from fears release, When my mind’s stayed on You. You will conquer all my foes, You will comfort every woe, You will raise me when I’m low, When my mind’s stayed on You. You will change my wrongs to… Read more

  • Love Suffers

    Gigi

    ,

    A mother sees her suffering child And with desire nearly wild She craves instead his cup of woe, To have it so she’s helpless though. A Father to His Son once gave All suffering to His people save. How much it must have pained my God; Wrath to pour for broken law On the One… Read more
