I’m Back (Shortly)

Well, I’m back from Arcatheos (for those of you who didn’t know I’d left all I can say is: oops)  I was supposed to be gone for twelve days starting on the twenty-eighth of July and ending on the eighth of this month.  However, my family sprung a vacation on me.  I went to Regina for a couple days and then South into North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Montana. (In that order and with the majority of the time spent in South Dakota.)  I’m back just in time to announce my departure for reading camp in a couple days.  To make up for my extended absence and my absence that is fast approaching, I offer as a peace gift another poem from the ever-wonderful Anne Therese.  Oh one more thing.  While I was away, some costume pieces I ordered arrived in the mail.  I’ll try to find some time to post pictures.

Finding Joy

 By Anne Therese

 

Where has it gone,

That joy.

It wasn’t always

Gone.

I want it back

I used to be so full of it

I want to go

Back.

I am asking him

Who is the light

Because I trust in

Him.

I am happy

But not like before

I want it normal and

Happy

I want it to be simple

Kindness and love.

I wish it was easy and

Simple.

I have great hope

There is no greater

Because I know he is there, and I

Hope.

I need to pray

Because he is always there

I can get it all back, if I

Pray.
