See
I see you...flag waving on hill. Full of life, wind propelling you in strength. Companion loyal. Experiencing full; full speed to the top. Climbing up and jumping off and ready to go. Bumps, bruises, triumphs and joys. I see you banner, love.
I see you...river stream, spilling over, flowing strong. Big emotions, big heart, growing up and learning to bend. Feeling deep and wide and understanding you. Life fully living and rocks mixed in. I see you brook that laughs and winds and gives.
I see you...image sower. Eyes fixed, gaze directed to light. The right vs. wrong; the truth and that which threatens it. Boy yet man in there learning, emerging bit by bit. Battle to be fought, victories to behold. Determined, calculated, wanting to fly. I see you called by God, He with you, not alone.
I see you...song bird, waiting in the wings. Eating and watching still just outside. I ache for you to hold, to hear, to sing the song that has to be sung. To love lavishly more, to show and testify to the One who has called and created. To watch, heart softened at the simple things that make life soar. I see you faith, yet unseen, and hope that grace holds up.
I see you...His workman(ship). Called, equipped and slayer of giants. A leader servant who doesn't promote self and leads us with kindness and strength intermixed. One who is patient and passionate and strong in heart tender. Brave defender and loves fiercely; example and influences quietly, steadily. Giver, present. I see you man, one, love of mine.
I see you...Son of Light. Warm, coming through cross of window pane. Present ever, even when clouds hide to eyes. Glimpse of love bright and life-giving gift(s). Beauty, strength- power full. Savior sustaining and over shadows. I see you now but in part, then in full; face to face not through pane or pain. Full and whole and home shall we unite, then; now see.

He and I
He and I, we battle hard...
Sometimes with each other
Sometimes together against the dark
Sometimes with each other
Sometimes together against the dark

He feels it; right and wrong
He senses justice; what is fair
He is strong; he wrestles fear
He is kind; he reaches out
He is called...and the dark is not happy
Anger rages...so we call out
We fight the dark with Him
We know who wins
We look forward to the Day
We wait
We walk this road
Together
He and I.

I love you; always!
Love, Mom
Love, Mom

Going forth with open hands

Open Hands, Open Life
"Open hands, thankful heart- ready for what You'll impart
I trust You're good, among flower and thorn
I receive with joy as grace adorns
Open life, humbled soul- broken pieces becoming whole
I know You're near, among peak and cleft
I offer worship with given breath
I'm seeing, now knowing- awakened to the morning
Slowly, I'm growing- leaving fear and soaring
Counting beauty all around- bowing knees upon the ground
I see You're here, among gift and need
I'm submitted to Your wise lead
I'm trusting Your keeping- You're patient with my pleadings
I'm hoping and leaping- released by Your leading
Open hands, thankful heart- ready for what You'll impart.
I trust You're good, among flower and thorn
I receive with joy as grace as adorns."
