A HEART INSPIRED

Cry me a river, so deep and so wild. Thought I would have drowned in these tears of a child. Found myself in a big strong boat. Searched a little deeper, it was built from hope. The oars, so strong, resilient with might. They were my compass...I held on tight.                                                                Cry me a river, so deep and so wild.                                              The journey was hard, exhausting and long. The sails were my angels, they kept me strong.  Faith blew on the winds, th ey carried me home.                                            Cry me a river, so deep and so wild. I found myself safe, no worries, no scars. Forever before me, the heavens and stars. The river is calm, behind me and tame. My soul and my life it could not claim.  {Valentina Silver©️}    

Girls...remember when I said I was going to revisit some places....well, this is where it probably gets pretty real. I was all prepared to write about my sweet, dear, Buddy Bear. However ... As I was collecting my thoughts and thinking about how I wanted to express the amazing love that occurs between a dog and his family, I embarked on a trip through recollection valley. I came across some redemptive pit stops, more than one regretful u-turn, quite a few shameful dead-ends and a whole bunch of water under the bridge exits. It is by the Grace of God that this road trip ended on a blazingly sunny pasture with a flowing brook and meandering paths, overgrown with daisies and lilies of the valley, weeping willows, glorious oaks and every shade of lavender. I found myself in the land of Goshen. It turns out that you do have to struggle through some undesirable travels in order to recognize the destination when you finally get there.
