Hope is a rainbow full of colours On a dull day when the skies are grey.A bright ray of sunshine,To help us through a stormy day. Hope is when a friend,Is there to lend a hand.Hope is a prayer,Trusting in God’s hand. Hope is spring,When flowers bloom;Bringing happy thoughts In the season of summertime. Hope is aContinue reading “Troubled Waters”

Sugar Cravings

I am tired of fighting  This monster 👹  Of  chocolate cake. It shouts loud in my ears, It temps me. Its poisonous ego  Laughs when I crave!
