I Am There For You

I Am There For You


When you’re down or feeling low. Look for me and I’ll be there, my shoulder you can lean on, I will hold you while you cry. When your troubled and feel you have no where to go, look around you have a place, I call home. Ask for love and I will give you a cup that runs over all the time. Sometimes you may feel lonely, but you will never truly be alone, trust in the angels you may not see. But a true friend you will always have in me. Ó

Wolves

Right now I'm working on a night painting with three wolves howling at the moon, a friend requested it. While painting my daughter came up and said she wanted one too. So I guess I'm going to be busy for a while painting wolves howling at a full moon. I'll be putting it the painting up soon on my blog. This summer has been hecktic but fun.

On a Cold Winter's Night

On a Cold Winter’s Night




The snow was flying in the wind, as the temperature dropped.

With the clouds hanging overhead, the day melted into night

On this long cold winter’s night, I bundled up in front of the firelight



Soon you would be home to cuddle up with tight, warm chocolate a waiting

S-mores resting on a plate ready to be heated, when you cap comes off your head

On this long cold winter’s night, I bundle up in wait by the firelight



You’re late, but then the roads are bad, so it will take you longer to share our bed

The windows are frosting over, but I look outside anyway waiting for you

On this long cold winter’s night, I bundle up in front of an open door to wait



Still you do not come, but I hear sirens in the background from a short ways away

A cold chill runs through my body, and I fill the black close in around me

On this long cold winter’s night, I collapse in front of an open door.



You come to me, one last time you say my name and whisper I love you

I love you now and I always will, take care of yourself and I’ll be around

On this long cold winter’s night my love had to say goodbye

Let Me Be Your Hero

I’ll be the one you can run to

When your life has turned upside down

I’ll have a shoulder you can cry on

When your tears fall like rain

I’ll wrap my arms around you and keep you safe from harm

If you’ll let me be your hero, I’ll be where you belong

When your day turns as black as night I will be your day and sun

If you let me be your hero, I will turn your life around



Open up your heart to me, and ask me to come in

I will be your hero on that you can depend

Let me be your hero when your hair fades to gray

For I will be with you always just waiting for what you say



Call me and I will come to you

Cry and I will comfort you

Ask and I will answer you

For I am always here for you

Let me be your hero

Fall Colors

Fall Colors

By Janeal Mulaney

It all starts with one fresh brush,

The paint is in swirls, but what for is the rush,

All the fall colors are ready to go,

God touches the brush and raises his hand

Then slides over the canvas in a smooth flow



Low and behold there are so many colors

Reds, oranges, yellows and browns

God brought fall alive with the flick of his hand

Trees are turning, while plants go in to hiding

Winter is coming but first all the leaves falling

We look up to the heavens and thank God for beautiful sight.

My Mother
She was an angel among us, with open arms to hold us whenever we were frightened or sad.
She would chase away our fears, and tears with her kind words and loving smile.
Even though she is no longer with us in body, her spirit and memories are flying high
Surrounding us with her love and gentle ways.
She is now a guarding angel doing the work God has meant for her to do.
