  • Christmas Lights in Mustang

    Christmas Lights in Mustang

    She wasn’t looking for magic,but Mustang made it shine—a small-town kind of wonderthat wrapped her heart in twine.Snowflakes on the sidewalks,soft lights on every street,and somehow in the quietlove swept her off her feet. He smiled like winter sunshine,warm enough to melt the cold,and suddenly this little townfelt like a story being told.A Christmas made…

  • To the Children No One Sees

    She stands in the middle of the street,lamplight flickering like a tired heartbeat,wind tugging at her hairas if even creation knowsshe’s carrying too much. The night smells like rain and rust,and somewhere in the distancea siren wails—a lonely, broken crythat sounds too muchlike the kids she can’t stop thinking about. Kids with hollow eyesthat should’ve…

  • Conversations with God

    “Daughter,” He whispered, in the quiet where her breathing shook, “Sit with Me. Look at Me. We need to talk.” And she trembled in the stillness, heart cracked open like a storm-split sky, whispering, “God… I’m trying. I’m tired. I don’t know if I can do this.” But His voice rolled deep through her spirit—…

  • God & Gun Smoke

    I locked the door behind me Like I’d locked my heart for years— Cold tile, cracked light, My reflection drowning in its tears. The world outside kept spinning, But I’d long since slipped the track, And that night I told my shadow, “There’s no coming back.” The gun felt like an answer— Heavy, final, still.…

  • First Spark

    She remembers the first spark, Eyes meeting, hearts in the dark. A laugh, a touch, a stolen glance, The start of everything, the first dance. Memories linger like firelight, Soft and warm in the quiet night. Love that grows, that holds, that stays— A heartbeat echoing through all our days. Written By: Alex Garvin (Fireplace-Poetry)

  • The Keeper

    My love, I see it all again, The day you knelt and took her hand. Her little eyes so unsure, so shy, And you chose her heart without a why. You became a father when you didn’t have to, Gave her a world she never knew. Then we brought two more souls to light, Little…

  • Hallway Echoes

    She’s there again, the locker squeaks, His laugh spills like sunlight across her cheek. Notes tucked in books, fingers brushing hands, The world shrinks to the space where he stands. Her heart beats fast, a secret drum, Every glance a spark, every smile, a sun. Back then, he was everything, the only truth she knew,…

  • A New Direction

    She’s leaving her past in the quiet behind,A chapter now closed, with no ties left to bind.What once felt so heavy, she’s learning to release—Her heart finds new rhythm, her soul finds new peace. She walks toward the sunrise with steady, slow grace,A girl with a story redeemed in God’s place.Though the road up ahead…

  • Oklahoma Skies

    Oklahoma Skies

    Looking up at these Oklahoma Skies I’m reminded of who you are. You are awe-worthy and majestic Faithful is who you are. These Oklahoma Skies Makes my world feel so small You are all mighty and all knowing You rise above it all! These Oklahoma Skies Humbles me to my knees In one second there…

  • One Name

    Darkness. Light. Sunshine. Rain. No matter the season I’ll glorify YOUR name. I’ll worship you in the valley I’ll bow down on the peak I’ll trust you in the middle Only YOUR name I seek. Lord, you are worthy! YOUR name stands above them all Some may challenge you but eventually they all fall. Written…
