Easter Sunday - “For God so Loved the World”

 Crystal Michelle Fallin

Loving Memory

She’s in the Sun, the Wind, the Rain

In my Mind, I know you’re gone,

In my heart I can feel you 

in the sun, the wind, the rain,

In the morning mist and 

In the evening breeze

I can hear you sing

A song of hope and cheer,

there’s no more pain, no more fear.

I see you in the clouds above,

hear you whisper words of love,

Because  of Easter Morning

We’ll be together again,

Until then, I’ll listen for your song.

 John 3: 13 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 

Easter Blessings to Larry of Naples, Florida

“I’ll Be Your Legacy” a Poem

 

Crystal Michelle Fallin, 

St Augustine, Florida

I’ll be your Legacy

I’ll be your Voice

You live on in Me

So I’ve made the Choice

To honor your Life

By sharing your Art

To encourage and

 Give Hope 

To the Lonely-in-Heart

I love you

I miss you

I’ll see you Again.

“Talking to the Wild” - Poem

 

Crystal Michelle Fallin

Daytona Beach, Florida 2016

She sat at the back and they said she was shy

She led from the front and they hated her pride

They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance

They branded her loud then were shocked by her silence

When she shared no ambition, they said it was sad

So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad

They told her they’d listen then covered their ears

And gave her a hug whilst they laughed at her fears

And she listened to all of it thinking she should

Be the girl they told her to be best as she could

But one day she asked what was best for herself

Instead of trying to please everyone else

So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees

She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves

And she spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine

And she told them what she’d been told time after time

She told them she felt she was never enough

She was either too little or far, far too much

Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak

Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek

Then she found a small clearing surrounded by firs

And she stopped and she heard what the trees said to her

And she sat there for hours not wanting to leave

For the forest said nothing, it just let her 

breathe

“Unforgivably Herself” a Poem

 

Crystal Michelle Fallin 

Auburndale, Florida 2016

Unforgivably Herself

In her time

And in this place,

She was unforgivably herself,

Full of flaws, beauty,

Chaos and imperfection,

For these are the things

That made her the most real,

And the things that

Are real in this world

Are the things that

Are loved the most…

“Spellbound” by Emily Brontë - Crystal Beauty in Winter

St. Augustine, Florida - Winter 2018

Spellbound

By Emily Brontë

The night is darkening round me,

The wild winds coldly blow;

But a tyrant spell has bound me

And I cannot, cannot go.

The giant trees are bending

Their bare boughs weighed with snow.

And the storm is fast descending,

And yet I cannot go.

Clouds beyond clouds above me,

Wastes beyond wastes below;

But nothing drear can move me;

I will not, cannot go.

Happy Valentine’s Day Crystal Belle - “ My Love Never Ends”

Crystal Michelle Fallin age 21

My Beloved Daughter

 January, 2006

It took an instant

To loss you,

And it will take

My entire LIFETIME

To grieve the loss of you.

GRIEF never ends because

LOVE never ends,

I will love you,

And ache for you

Until my very last breath.

“I Know You as a Painter Knows their Art”

Crystal Michelle Fallin, St. Augustine, Florida 

San Marco Ave., 2018

 YOU MAY BE GONE

You may be gone

but I feel you

when the cool breeze 

brushes by

You may be gone

but I hear you

when the music plays

its last song

You may be gone

but I know you 

as a painter knows 

their art

You may be gone

but I feel you

right here in 

my heart

“Beauty in the Darkness”

Crystal Michelle Fallin, St. Augustine, Florida

Beauty in the Darkness

 Beautiful things happen in the dark,
When the sun goes to sleep,
When the stars give light kisses,
When the moon is a spotlight,
She stayed beautiful,
Even when she was covered 
In the evening darkness..

North Beach Park Vilano - Isaiah 43:2. “Deep Waters”

 When you go

Through 

deep waters

I will be

With you.

Isaiah 43:2
