Her Strides Stronger – v2

Watching her before us

walking for a Cure

staying on the path

her demeanor secure

Wanting to bear witness

sure on her way

her strides stronger

every single day

Walk for a Cure

and thinking how much better

Shyanne’s walk was, able to walk the whole 5k

as opposed to last year, when she was newly diagnosed

with Type 1 diabetes

A Wrinkle in the Road

The words sinking in

“Shyanne has diabetes”

something unwelcome

ringing in my ear

a change forever

of our lives, our family

controlling carbs

and facing needles

So many voices

lifting prayers for her

love pouring out

pouring over us

many voices

in distant places even

wrapping her, wrapping us

in God’s eternal love
