About Me

I am a single mother of two who has her Masters degree. I have been through what feels like everything in the past few years: divorce,bankruptcy,foreclosure,and unemployment. However, I keep holding on to my faith in God while trying to figure out my journey.

The Butterfly at Night

It occurred to me that you never see a butterfly at night.
You could strain your eyes into the darkness, every evening, with nothing to gain.
In my dreams I see them there, waving at me ready to take flight.
Though I've never seen one, no matter how hard I try. Staring in the blackness of the sky, it is always in vain.
So where is their dwelling place? Their retreat for slumber deep?
In my heart of hearts I wish to know this and forever the secret I will keep.
Life is not worth knowing without the butterfly, more mundane and more than a tad bit trite.
So I wait until the morning for them to come from their hiding place. I would wait forever for just a glimpse of their total grace.
