Small Pleasures
I’ve been thinking about making poetry posters such as this one available to purchase from The Poetry Project website. I would love to know what you think! My mom, Mary Larter, and sister, Melissa Larter, put this one together for after I had my baby and I’m pretty sure quite a few of our combos would lend themselves to the same thing. Once the book is available it’s going to be sold through the website and I quite like the idea of having a few other things available too. Feedback please!!
The New Jerusalem
The war is over put down your guns
He’s fought the battle
The victory He has won
Let’s make this city our dwelling place
It’s built on love and not on hate
This is the New Jerusalem
Stop The Pain
A broken home, a faithless nation
A lonely widow, a violent war
An under-aged hooker, an innocent prisoner
And where will this fatherless child sleep tonight?
A fallen soldier, a murdered son
An overdosed addict, a dream lost before it’s begun
A bitter racist, stolen youth
And where will this childless mother’s tears fall tonight? (more…)
I Need You
All hope seems lost, no chance of being found
My heart feels broken as my tears fall to the ground
I’m drowning in my weakness
Holding onto my pride
I’m consumed by the fear that I can no longer hide
I need You…
Your Love Is…
Your love is a song singing through my soul
And when my heart is feeling weary I know where to go
It echoes in time, never changing it’s mind
‘Cause of this long-suffering Lord
I know you’re on my side (more…)
