Nostalgia

Homesick, I peek through fields of fireflies,
Before fireworks light up twilight skies.
Childhood memories ache to feel,
Love, consistent and  real.

Autumn’s leaves make me miss you so,
While winter’s candles softly glow.
Springtime hope fights through the frost,
Blooming from what winter lost.

In every season where I roam,
I miss  deeply what once felt like home.

Radiant Resilience

Radiant Resilience Shelly Ambrose A fiery flame flickers free Lighting the way for those who dare to see. She holds a spark within this world, A truth so raw, it won’t be hurled. She’s not afraid to show what's real, To flow and feel, her heart’s a wheel. She guards every piece of her heart, Protecting the peace that sets her apart. She’s learned lessons the hard way, No longer afraid to truthfully say: “I won’t sell my soul— Not for anyone, not for anything!” She’ll find her path within her own two feet. At times, she catches an unforgettable beat, Other times, she stumbles, loses the count, Remembering life’s rhythms still unfolding.

She only belongs with those who hear The rhythm that keeps hope near, A melody found beneath the noise, Beyond the glow of lights and lies. She knows life’s ...

Two and Half Weeks

Two and a Half Weeks S. Ambrose, 2025 Two and a half weeks since the ground gave way, Since you boxed up my future and asked me to pray. Trust shattered loud and fear opened wide, But in the unknown, my faith and courage refused to hide. The doors you slammed shut echoed with doubt, But I chose to believe God would work it all out. Each morning I woke up and whispered a plan, Placing each step in the grip of a far greater Hand. There were tears laced with hope, heartache, and fight, Some shimmered with promise like a rainbow's light. Then, deep in my stillness, I heard a clear call: “Don’t give up now, I’ve been here through it all.” When windows of opportunity swung open wide, I could finally breathe; my fear stepped aside. Not just one offer came, but the blessings of three! More than I asked for, more than I dreamed to see. Two and a half weeks — I fought through a surprise storm. Faith was my shelter, and hope kept me warm. Protected by God's fierce flame, with joy I can...
