Broken Glass

(Christopher Van Name)

The hopes and dreams we have for our loved ones are just that: OUR hopes and dreams. Sometimes it's heartbreaking to see them struggle to get on with their own lives. We can only live our own and hope they find their own path.

Little pitcher's photographs
Jaded memories of life's past
Now pictures hanging on a wall
The things we thought would be

The promises of youthful dreams
Simmer 'neath life's aging seams
As seasons pass, with every fall
We think of what could be

But hope and dreams soon fade away
Like tear drops on a rainy day
Our hearts still weep as we recall
What wasn't meant to be

Some dreams are made of broken glass
They're never really meant to last
Jagged shards of want and need
The reasons we believe

The emptiness that claims our souls
And leaves us feeling less than whole
Now answers to another call
It never sets us free

Some dreams are made of broken glass
They're never really meant to last
Jagged shards of want and need
The reasons we believe

Little pitcher's photographs
Jaded memories of life's past
Now pictures hanging on a wall
The things we thought would be
The things we never see...

Tell me when

A world in crisis. Hate. Greed. Division. What happened? How and why did we let it happen? Waiting for wind to change.

I don't know who I am

By Christopher Van Name

Opioid addiction. We're all touched by this tragic disease in some way. Too many angels are walking the streets of heaven who should still be walking amongst us here on earth. Some of the most courageous and generous people I've ever known are those who live their recovery everyday. Prayers aren't enough. -For JULIAN

Where Once Was Wonder

By Dan Cardwell

For me personally, it's a lullaby to my wife about IVF, but really, it can be a song to anyone about believing in hope at a time in life where the light at the end of the tunnel seems like an impossible destination.
