Happy Heavenly Birthday, Shellie!

Angels Singing Happy Birthday in Heavenby Carrie K. Hutchens

Why did God decide to take you so soon?

I miss you, girl…

Remember when you used to ask me to type your papers?

We’d argue and raise our voices

People thought we were ready to kill each other

But we weren’t

Although a couple of times…

Like when I didn’t get any sleep before that long 8 hour class –

I’m not so sure.

I thought I was gonna die before that class ended

and if I did…

I was taking you with me.

You do hear me chuckling, don’t you?

Heaven lets you know how much I love and miss you,

doesn’t it?

You know that bush you planted in my yard?

It’s growing.

I protect it always because it’s special.

It’s special because of you…

You put it there and there it will remain…

growing and thriving and a reminder…

a reminder of you… always you!

I could say so many, many special things about you –

but I know you know…

You know what’s in my heart.

You know all those wondrous memories that I’m left to remember.

I miss you, Shellie!

I’m sure God reminds you of my love and loss.

Happy Heavenly Birthday, Shellie!

May you have a wondrous celebration in Heaven

with all the angels singing just for you!

Slithering

by Carrie K. Hutchens

Lies slither from their lips,

dripping in foul odor of decay.

No shame

Just pride

Pride in spreading deceit

Corruption of the soul

Laughter at the destruction of another

Madness

No regret

Just pride disguised as righteousness

But it’s not

It’s merely lies slithering from their lips

dripping in foul odor of decay.

A Wind that Once Was

by

by Carrie K. Hutchens

Strong winds ripped through the night in mourning thought dismissed

as it carried the past into the whirling darkness of once upon a time

A past of dreams crushed and thoughts punishing

So few memories of laughter

Many tears of hopelessness

So much time wasted

So few years left

Is anything to be or is it merely what was?

Life to pass with all hope gone?

Just one day and then the next,

until there is none

and the strong wind goes silent

in a memory once was and never again to be?

Is this the end and a wind once was

Or is it a beginning waiting…

waiting

for the wind of once was

to become the wind that is again?
