To Them Part One

A Poem For Us

To Them Part One

I think the worst part is we

Can't even see

How truly beautiful we all are.

All we see

Is the ugly

All we see

Is the pain

All we see

Is the guilt.

It gets in the way of everything we really are.

Is that why

We treat the others so different sometimes?

We pick out their flaws

We pick out what's ugly,

Hanging it on a thread

Or framing it in their face

As a picture,

But all the while can't

Reverse the see through glass

And see that it is us

Standing in the mirror.


Everything we really are

We can let show,

All of the real true love

That hides underneath our debris

We can bring forth.

All we have to do is let go,

Let go of the pain

Let go of

Everything that we've been through,

Everything that has molded us into

Becoming the people we are.

We thought it made us stronger

But in reality, it made us weaker,

And caused us to grow less to love.

How do we expect to show our children

What love really is

If we are living a false form of it.

Maybe that is why they, we, them

Accept love from wherever

It is given.

It's time to get past our suffering.


Forgiveness...

Forgive what has harmed you

Forgive what has broken you.

We can end the pattern

We can make ourselves over

And birth a new love.

Let's look to God

Together, with Him

We can become something new.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
