Who would

Raise her above

All the brokenness

Into the beauty of His love

The feeling was so intense 

As she walked in

The worry that was across her face

Left one feeling barren

With no hope

In her eyes

Then it hit

"Your services are no longer needed"

It was the last straw

She felt broken

With intense worry

She turned

Knowing life would be different

Life would surely be barren

For those who depended on her service

They would be lost

But...life would go on

Her hope would be found 

In the quiet days 

In whispered prayers

Placing her worry and burdens upon the Lord

As intense as this seemed

Hope laid around the corner

In the one who held her future

First Love

The tingle of first love

The shy blush

The quick look away
The heart is in bloom

As it ripples with joy

The rush from their voice

The tingle of first love

That twinkle in their eyes
The sparkle that shines

The rush of the heart

The racing of shyness

Each time he looks her way

With blushing eyes

Of hope
With sparks flying
With burst of fireworks

That tingle of first love

Each twinge a rush
A smile in bloom

The laughter in the look

Each moment captured
With star lite magic
Of evening lights

With first love
The sunshine in the smile

A cherished moment

A rush of excitement
Spinning round and round
On a Ferris wheel
First love

Each thought 
A circus 

Of dreams 
Is this what love is?
This joy
This euphoria 
Of sweet innocent love

The tingle of the little girls first love

~Beth~
