Storm swirls, winds howl
Fear rises
But I’m in the boat
Jesus speaks, waves still
I am safe
Held, protected, cherished

Sunsets
(Photograph taken by my dad, Darrell Nygaard, on the Outer Banks, NC)
Two years today in heaven
The amazing man that I call Dad
Love, lessons, laughter, life
All this and more
Are waiting when I see you again
In a place that looks like the best of all possible sunsets

On the Other Side
On the other side of Ben Bulben…through the fields, past the forest, into the valley
On the other side of what we see…through the joy, past the hardships, into the valley
Peace and love await, the arms of Jesus outward held
Beauty and truth and freedom

Flying or Falling
Flying or falling, it matters not
The One who loves me will catch me, soften the landing
Safe in the Rock, or riding on the wings of the wind
The journey leads to love, peace, forgiveness, hope, Jesus.

15 Steps
15 steps are what I’ve done today
1 foot, then the other, then again
1 day, then the other, then again
And that is how it’s done
1 stone, then another, then again
You have a wall
1 faith, 1 God
Holding it all
