Today there is a mist, It’s in my heart and on my lashes. I wish I could tell Mom & Dad How much they have given me. The humor, the tenacity, The foundation, The memories, The character, The essence of who I am. God – will you please tell them thank you again? I wish I could at least one more time. – RG

Wrapped in sunlight, Hope is strong. Laughter is easy, And joy is near. So thankful for the love of friends. God redeems the days. His purpose has become mine. Unwavering. Forging ahead. I see the future. It has come. I rejoice. – RG

Goodbye, adieu, au revoir… I don’t want to say them. Friends are so very dear. The reality of moving forward is sinking in. Tears fall and expectations grow. Anticipation for what is next, And yet, part of me is saddened for the previous chapter’s conclusion. Memories will be held closely. The new act has begun. I am ready. – RG  

Finding the stride, Seeking the truth, Listening to hope, Don’t turn away. Always move toward the sun – Leaving shadows behind. I will run toward You. Arms outstretched, smiling, I am Yours. But, You knew that already, didn’t You?  -RG

There is a place in my soul; It is well-guarded. But the open road brings it out to play. I see the future, I touch the present, I leave the past behind. My days are ordered, and slip into harmony. How grateful I am for Your Direction! As the swirling chaos of this thing called “life” dances, I tip my head back and taste the rain. So many wonders, it takes my breath away. I am Yours, and rejoice in the certainty. God has given me Serenity and Adventures! – RG
