Flower of My Heart: Poetry by Candy Vaughnn

What Condiment Are You?

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 14:41:00 +0000

You Are Ketchup

You are easy going and very measured in your approach to life.
Popular and well liked, you get along with everyone.
Seriously, everyone loves you!

Your taste tends to be pretty mainstream American.
You go for the classic favorites: burgers, fries, and apple pie.
You get along best with mustard and mayonnaise personalities.

What Condiment Are You?

What Season Are You?

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 14:39:00 +0000

You Belong in Spring

Optimistic, lively, and almost always happy with the world...
You can truly appreciate the blooming nature of spring.
Whether you're planting flowers or dyeing Easter eggs, spring is definitely your season!

What Season Are You?

Do You Follow Your Head or Your Heart?

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 14:37:00 +0000

You Follow Your Heart

You're romantic, sentimental, and emotional.
You tend to fall in (and out of) love very quickly.
Some may call you fickle, but you can't help where your emotions take you.
You've definitely broken a few hearts, but you're not a heartbreaker by nature.
Your intentions are always good, even if they change with the wind

Do You Follow Your Head or Your Heart?

What Color Should Your Toenails Be?

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 14:36:00 +0000

Your Toes Should Be Red

You pretend to be an old fashioned girly girl, but you're secretly a naughty girl deep down.

Your ideal guy: Tall, strong, and handsome - with a devilish twinkle in his eye.

Stay away from: Nice, safe men. They won't really give you what you want!

What Color Should Your Toenails Be?

This Love

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 04:32:00 +0000

This love I feel is so very real. Each day my heart grows more and more. His words I long to hear. His promises I want to know. There is no greater love than this. God shows me each day, that I am His child. When I wake up each morning and see the sun smile. I can't help but say, "Lord, You're worthy to be praised. You alone are worthy. You're worthy to be praised."

In the crazy times, You see about me. In the sad times, You wipe my tears. In the good times, You rejoice with me. I know that You love me. This love is like no other love. For Who You are and for all You've done, You're worthy to be praised.

Coming Home

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Sun, 13 May 2007 02:14:00 +0000

This world is not my home. I am not from here. Don't always understand this place. Sometimes I get lonely down here for my Heavenly Father. Sometimes, I wanna scream, "Lord, come get me." He comes and sees about me. He strengthens and comforts me. "So glad that You love me," is my reply. One of these days, I will say by by. One of these days, I'm coming home, but just not today. I got a few more things to do down here for my Father.

At Church

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 25 Apr 2007 22:47:00 +0000

Sitting at church thinking of life's bountiful treasures. Thinking of life's endeavours. Thrying to figure out why, why things go the way they do. Here's a simple thought. "God loves me more than anyone else possibly could." God is sitting down here at church in the midst making us feel good.

God is Undoubtedly Working

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 22:45:00 +0000

God is undoubtedly working. The trees sawy in the wind, the willows can bend, birds fly south for the winter. God is working here.

God is undoubtedly working. Spring and Winter come, cold and sunny days now. God is working here.

God is undoubtedly working. The flowers bud with blooms, the coming Bride Groom and on that day of rapture. God will be working here.

God is undoubtedly working. The Bible is coming true, proving to me and you, the Bible has said, time is drawing nearer. God is working here.

God is undoubtedly working. Countries at war, peace is hard to be found here, time is drawing near.

God is undoubtedly working. The killing has begun. God is undoubtedly working.

Now, where will you run? God is undoubtedly working. The fire is getting hot.

God is undoubtedly working. You don't want to rot. God is undoubtedly working. Time is drawing near.

God's Grace

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 22:44:00 +0000

God's grace is abundant in many ways. It will never run out for days and days. God's grace is special. We should be thankful. That He cared enough to give us His love as well as His grace.

Together We Stand

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Fri, 05 Jan 2007 22:55:00 +0000

Together we stand, dividedwe fall. A wonderful slogan for us all. We can do it. I's time to make a change. Things can be arranged. Stop the violence, the drugs, and all the crime we face. Let's lead the world to brighter days.

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 00:00:00 +0000

The sun is shining on me day by day.

Nobody Like Jesus

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Wed, 04 Oct 2006 00:00:00 +0000

Nobody like Jesus,
I've heard it time and time before.

These days, it seems,
I'm learning it more and more.

It was once a phrase I heard mama say.
But now I understand it more every time I pray.

There's nobody like Jesus,
He's The First and He's The Last.

There's nobody like Jesus,
He's knows my future, present, and past.

It was once a phrase I heard mama say.
But now I understand it more every time I pray.

Thank God that Jesus loves me,
I wouldn't make it without Him.

Thank you Lord,
That I can call You Friend.

Love Left Her Mark

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Mon, 16 Feb 2004 22:05:00 +0000

I kept hearing, "Some day your change is gonna come."
I kept hearing, "Sometimes you got to hold on."
I began to believe my change wasn't ever gonna come.
I almost gave up and decided not to hold on.

But Love came by one day.
She whispered in my ear, "Stay strong."
She hinted, "Help is on the way."
She declared, "It won't be long."

Her words rang true in my heart.
With her words I could move ahead.
Her words gave me a new start.
God told my feet where to head.

Love left her mark.
Her words were true, telling me to wait.
Love's word, gave me a spark.
In waiting, God sent me a mate.

Not expecting anything other than work.
Surely wasn't looking for whom I found.
I really like God's system of perks.
God's perks can lift our heart up from the ground.

Thank You, Love

Life Hurts Sometimes

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Mon, 19 Jan 2004 22:06:00 +0000

Lord, I am crying out to You.
There are some things I am going through.
My heart is in pain and my soul hurts, too.
If You don't help me, I can't make it through.
These crazy folk done worried my nerves,
I just need to hear from You, just one word.
God, You are the only one who understands.
Please guide my feet as You hold my hands.
My heart is in pain and my soul hurts, too.
If You don't help me, I can't make it through.
Life's up and down have gotten to me.
That's why I am crying out to Thee.
Oh Father, please, please hear my earnest plea.
Father, I am crying out on my bended knee.
I need Your peace that I can't understand.
Unto Thee I have stretched my hand.
Lord, life hurts sometimes.

My Christmas Love

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Sat, 13 Dec 2003 22:07:00 +0000

My Christmas Love isn't here.
He's gone, so far away.
I am sad and despondent.
There will be no happy holidays.

I keep thinking about he & I.
I have his present under the tree.
I keep on wondering time and time again.
Does he have a present for me?

I have happy thoughts of him.
I just want to wish him Merry Christmas.
He has happy thoughts of me.
I just want to hear him say, "Merry Christmas."

The Christmas Carols don't sound the same.
There won't be any Christmas cheer.
The Christmas lights don't seem the same.
My Christmas Love isn't here.

I Don't Wanna See You

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Sat, 13 Dec 2003 22:07:00 +0000

You keep saying,
"I'll be home for Christmas."
But I don't want to see you.
I keep hearing,
"I can't wait to get there."
But I don't really miss you!
I don't wanna see you,
So, don't come by.
I don't miss you,
And I won't cry.

Sometimes I Feel Like a Raggedy Wash Cloth

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Tue, 15 Jul 2003 21:48:00 +0000

Sometimes I feel like a raggedy wash cloth. Because I am used as a last resort. And I am all out of sorts. No one calls on me until no one else comes. Most of the time I am treated like a bum. Sometimes I feel like a raggedy wash cloth.

Undivided

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Tue, 15 Jul 2003 21:08:00 +0000

Undivided I shall stand tall. Undivided one for all. Undivided forever to be. Undivided the future I wish to see.

I shall stand undivided looking towards the end. Looking for the answer, to help my fellowmen.

I want to make the world better for everyone. For my mother, her brother, and his son.

Given a chance I shall stand. Given a chance I know I can. Undivided I shall stand.

A Farewell Note to You

noreply@blogger.com (Me) — Sat, 21 Jun 2003 22:09:00 +0000

I have tried so hard just to let you know. Everything I feel, but it's time I let you go. No questions are being answered, No mysteries being solved. I have tried over and over to get you involved. It was but that one special moment that we deeply shared. That made my life go beyond despair. You gave my life hope when there was none. You made my life's race a little easier to run. Thank you for all that you have given me. My life was made happier indeed. The time has come for me to say bye. I guess we can give someone else a try. I hope we can still say hi when we meet. I hope perhaps a hug when we greet.
