You're An Anchor-Madison Haley

A tribute to my cousin Tess Barker who leaves on her mission to New York this week. I love her very much and look up to her example! Thank you Tess! See you in 1.5:)


You’re An Anchor
Stormy seas surround us
Strong wind blows in the canyon
Fire burns the forests
But you will not be moved
You’ve been through times that were gray
There was nothing no one could say
But times are new
Just look at you

You’re an anchor in the stormy seas
A shelter from the wind
A brick wall that cannot be burned
How times have turned
We need your wisdom more than ever now
Cause you have pulled us through
There’s no disaster that can take us out
While we look up to you
You’re an anchor

Doors are shut around you
Some may always say no
Though we will miss you
This is why you have to go

You’re an anchor in the stormy seas
A shelter from the wind
A brick wall that cannot be burned
How times have turned
They need your wisdom more than ever now
Cause you will pull them through
There’s no disaster that can take them out
While they look up to you
You’re an anchor

Now the one above may seem to look down on you
But now He’s lookin up
You are brave and wise and He needs ya now
To pull those lost through

Cause you’re an anchor in the stormy seas
A shelter from the wind
A brick wall that cannot be burned
How times have turned
He needs your wisdom more than ever now
Cause you will pull them through
There’s no disaster that will take you out
While He looks up to you
You’re an anchor
You’re an anchor

26 Beautiful Hearts- Tribute to those in Connecticut (original)

My heart goes out to those who have been effected by the tragedy Friday morning in Connecticut. There's not really anything that can truly help in a situation like this, but I decided I would write a song for those who are in need of comfort at this time. This is for you. 26 Beautiful Hearts Just the day before Not knowing what was in store Families gathered with full hearts Never wanting to be apart They play and they sing Letting Christmas carols ring Cause just the next day There’d be nothing to say Her six year old daughter And his six year old son Were makin Christmas gifts For them to love When the chaos and the screamin Became something they weren’t dreamin Running down halls, tears were shed Tryin to think Christmas carols in their head Tryin to get to a place Where’d they’d be safe But now they sing with the angels up in heaven Connected with those from 9/11 Safe and free from harm There’s a chai...

Lessons Learned in 2014

Image
I’ve learned so many things over this past year that I can’t help but share them. I’ve decided to share what I learned in each month as the year progressed. These lessons include stories, insights, and advice that I was given to get through the good times as well as the hard times. Whether you know me well or not, I hope you can relate to any one thing, or at least know that you aren’t alone. I believe we should share our experiences with others who may be struggling with similar things so that we might be able to help each other through our hardships. Here we go. January- Just because it’s a new year, that doesn’t mean you start with an empty slate. If you don’t keep up with your good habits, the bad ones seep through and they don’t fix themselves. YOU must do the fixing. The lesson here that I learned was that just because the New Year brought new motivation, that didn’t mean I would miraculously become someone better. Not without continuous hard work on my part, anywa...
