The Grave No One Tended

Cheryl - June 11, 2025

The day was lovely as I strolled along, peering at stones on the way And that’s when I saw it, that pitiful cross, that looked splintered and faded away With flowers in hand to tend Father’s grave, I knew I must hurry along But I couldn’t help but linger awhile, at that cross that just […]

Morse Code in the Bathroom

Cheryl - June 1, 2025

I think most people would agree, that throughout life, we all can develop an attachment or two. Babies get attached to pacifiers and bottles. Toddlers get attached to their favorite stuffed animal, blanket or parent. Teenagers become attached to clothes, friends and drama. Adults get attached to money, cars. . . and the list goes on. […]

Making Sarah Cry

Cheryl - May 25, 2025

He stood among his friends from school; he joined their childhood games Laughing as they played kickball, and when they called poor Sarah names Sarah was unlike the rest; she was slow and not as smart And it would seem to all his friends; she was born without a heart And so he gladly joined […]

An Empty Pair of Boots

Cheryl - May 19, 2025

The numbness overcame me, I felt that I had died As I crumbled like a rag doll, upon the earth to cry For my eyes could not believe it, the vision they took in A sight that brought such heartache, a quiver to my chin I hoped for an illusion that was bound to fade […]

The Graduation Speech

Cheryl - May 14, 2025

Jesse was well liked by everyone, so everybody anticipated what he had to say As he walked up to the microphone, on graduation day For a moment he remained silent, as he peered at the faces from his senior class And then Jesse leaned into the microphone, and finally spoke at last “As your class […]

The Most Beautiful Flower

Cheryl - May 3, 2025

The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read Beneath the long, straggly branches of an old willow tree Disillusioned by life with good reason to frown, For the world was intent on dragging me down And if that weren’t enough to ruin my day, A young boy out of breath approached me, […]

Daddy’s Day

Cheryl - May 1, 2025

Her hair up in a ponytail, her favorite dress tied with a bowToday was Daddy’s Day at school, and she couldn’t wait to goBut her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay homeWhy the kids might not understand, if she went to school aloneBut she was not afraid; she knew just what […]

Hey Buddy, Can You Spare a Taco . . .

Cheryl - May 1, 2025

Navigating the world as a Christian can be difficult, especially when there are people who want to take advantage of your faith. Genuine Christians are fairly easy to spot, which can make them an easy target for anyone hoping to make a quick buck. Scripture is pretty clear on helping those in need, but what […]

Satan’s Favorite Recipe (Stirring the Pot)

Cheryl - April 26, 2025

Have you ever noticed that when something irks you, satan will find a way to exemplify it? After all, he has nothing better to do than to try and wreak havoc in your life. For me, it seems to be whenever I am in a hurry to get somewhere, that satan shows up and I […]

The Size of Courage . . .

Cheryl - March 26, 2025

It was like any normal day, as I sat at work preparing things that I needed to do, when I saw my boss’s car pulling up next to the building. I could hear him unlocking and then locking the main door as he entered the office. It was for safety reasons that we kept the […]

When it Rains . . .

Cheryl - March 13, 2025

I am sure you have heard the old expression, “when it rains it pours.” Well, I for one would buy stock in that expression, considering the last several weeks of my life. Drip, drip, drip, the raindrops started. First, my car (just shy of three years old) began making a ticking sound whenever I accelerated. […]

Either You’re a Christian or You’re Not . . .

Cheryl - February 26, 2025

Have you ever been around someone whose negativity has affected you so gravely that you find yourself mimicking their behavior? Do thoughts of disgust and judgement wash over you? There are times while sitting at my nephew’s sporting events, that I have found myself caught up in the energy around me. When the negative […]
