    Writing has been a passion of mine for years. As a young child, I wrote short stories and poems. Growing up in a construction world, my passion was put on hold to manage several construction firms and raise my family. Now my kids are independent, it's my time to bring my passion of writing into your hands.

      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

      Shattered - A.T. Mulvihill

      Abandoned

      Left out, alone

      A symbol of truth

      Abandoned, as it

      Happened in my youth

      Lost, a feeling

      In which I hold

      Searching, seeking

      A place of my own

      Lips, which speak

      The lies I’ve heard

      Of hope and giving

      Is all absurd

      Longing, laughing

      A life I want

      Feelings sacrificed

      And only haunt

      Life, my own

      Trying to keep moving

      Building, trusting

      Relationships unknowing

      Lying, in solitude

      Upon my bed

      Dreaming, hoping

      The life I’ve led

      Labored, straining

      To be alive

      Hoping and praying

      That I would die

      Battle

      Come all my friends to my battle

      Bring your weapons and your gear

      I want you to stand beside me

      As I battle all my fears

      I’m having a hard time coping

      With the chains around my heart

      The pain is all consuming

      Too heavy, tearing me apart

      Sometimes I even wonder

      If this battle will cease to exist

      The metal which surrounds me

      Showing bruises on my wrist

      I’ve thought of many times

      Of lying down in surrender

      Giving the enemy his joy

      As I’m buried ten feet under

      My battle scars are plenty

      Too deep sometimes it hurts

      To see the mars upon my flesh

      The marks that still exist

      I hide many beneath the surface

      An abundance of pain and aches

      Tearing my soul beneath my bones

      My single battle I must take

      At times I wish to surrender

      To the pain inside my soul

      The white flag in my hand

      Wanting to take control

      To the battlefields I race

      Up the hill of my demise

      Turning back is not an option

      A truth I have surmised

      But as I stand in front of you

      I’m asking for your help

      Grab up your arms and stand your ground

      And feel what I have felt

      One piercing bullet to my heart

      A bayonet blade to the skin

      The death I am seeking

      Is quickly crashing in

      So will you all stand beside me

      With your uniform and spears

      Draw up your weapons and surround me

      To extinguish all my fears

      Bound

      Binding relentlessly
