Battlefield
You stand at the crest of a hill For just a moment time stands still You've been waiting for this moment and it's finally here Before you take a breath the cries of war and death you hear Running for your life Shooting all enemies in sight Only 16 and you've killed these men You'll never be a mere boy again Why must you grow old so quick The blood and gore makes you sick A wounded enemy lies nearby Wide eyes staring at the night sky That's when it hits you straight in your heart Why were we all of this war a part You think of your family back home And wish you had not left them alone Suddenly you hear a deafening blast A cannon has fired burying you in rubble and ash Before you close your eyes to die You look up to the sky Your last prayer sent to God above Why all the hate? God where is the love? |
Broken Spirit
I'm beaten and I'm bruised I've been mocked and I've been used I stand up and I fall down It seems I'm always on the ground God is there such a thing as love? I lose faith in you with every shove I'm lonely and I'm scared I really don't think my friends ever cared I'm broken God and I'm in so much pain Where is the sun when I see only rain God I know you love me and you're always near But why is my future so unclear I'm trying to press on towards the goal I could move faster if not for my wounded soul How do I keep praising When I feel I am disgracing I feel I'm always falling Instead of sharing my faith I'm stalling Inside me there's a deafening cry and I can always hear it It is the cry of a child of God with a broken spirit |
Heart of Honey
As sweet as barrels of honey Friendship worth so much more than money As jumpy as a bunny Makes all rainy days bright and sunny Gentle and caring Armor of God always wearing Hope emanates from her being The positive this she is always seeing Faith in God and all things true By Jesus Christ been made brand new Overflowing with benevolence Possessing humble gorgeousness A friend to all in times of doubt To others encouragement does her mouth spout A girl from a chance to serve is never running The girl who has a heart of honey. |
False Truths of the Past
I enjoy the moments I've had with you Although they've been very few I'm eager to hang more And even more so to even the score Your arm around me makes me feel safe and sound No greater guy have I found You're different that's more than clear When I'm with you I feel no fear I hope and pray you see Just how special you are to me You're not forceful and you're kind And boundaries do you mind I'm grateful for you And I promise what I say is true I was sad But of course now I'm glad How long will this last none can say I only hope that in the middle God does stay I like you a lot this I can truthfully say And I like you more and more everyday |
Darling Baby Girl
A little girl caught in a grip so tight So little and full of fright Not strong enough to fight What happened to her wasn't right This little baby almost died But for an important purpose God kept her alive Even though she was greatly abused she continues to thrive By the grace of God she will this life survive Is He Him?
He caught my eye at once And I've felt different since He isn't pushy and to women shares a rare amount of respect And from most men this is something you don't expect He awakens in my heart a song And in this world for more people like him do I long A sense of frustration I cannot yet comprehend Is why to me he was sent I long for the one who is mine And I know he will come all in God's time I hope one day I can truthfully say He is my best friend And be with him til our lives end Wishes don't always come true And we don't always get what we for ourselves would choose I am currently waiting to see Although it's not easy to do this patiently I hope to one day have a happy healthy family And my heart is secretly hoping that man will this certain someone be If he knew the things I feel and say From me he'd probably turn away My heart is yearning As his friendship and trust I am earning Why am I so quick to give my heart Before someone is of my life a part It makes no sense to me And I wish I could clearly see The future God has to me to give And if this person I could one day live I feel like a giddy school girl And my head is in a whirl My thoughts and feelings shouldn't be shared If I about him I truly care Share things too early Is a major part of my history I don't think this person knows how I feel about him and how easily my heart he has taken But I for sure know now not early loves flame to waken True love is more than fantasy It's also truth and mystery If awakened too early I will surely see That when it comes to relationships much more patient I should be There are times to be an open book And to let him into my heart have a look I am easily hurt My heart I wear on the sleeve of my shirt People say that love should be avoided and burned at a stake Cause it will only your heart break But this I know is not true Cause God has a man out there for me and you Who knows when he whom God has chosen Into my life will be woven I have many choices to make And I have many risks to take In order to find The one for me God has in mind I hope and pray that he will love me for who I am as a person And then his love will be the reason I keep going everyday And I can stay on the narrow way He shows me in this world there is still good And we can all be this good and this we should We need to pray for our future As well as the family we shall one day nurture |
Lies That Cause A Broken Heart
You say you changed for me But this so-called truth I cannot see I told you I changed for you And this is what I know is true I wish we had both just been true Me being me & You being you If we had just remained the people whom God made us to be We might still be together and still be happy But I am glad I found out that you were just a fake And I am glad even at the cost of a heart break I don't wish to hate you for I know that isn't right But oh you hurt me so deep when you cussed me out last night I have a burning desire to treat you like you treated me But then a true follower of Christ I won't be Why did you have to lie Please for the love of God tell me why I don't understand why you chose to be this way I know that I hate seeing you every single day I watch you from a distance and ask Why did I ever only in your “glory” bask I am smarter than you think I know you say that I stink You used me as and ego boost But little do you know the hurt in me you introduced I am hurt that's an understatement I feel my heart has been trampled on the pavement I however know that what you do and what you say matters not Because every time you cause me to fall in God's arms I was always caught You have no more power over me I hope that God can help you see That changing for someone else ruins your life And that when you do so you will always and forever experience trouble and strife Unity
A sense of being one Where happiness and contentment are share by the ton Arguments are rare And about differences you really don't care Understanding and peace Are mutual feelings shared with ease You carry each others doubts and fears You pick each other up and dry the others tears Unlike friendship unity has more rules And all negativity it quickly cools Unity is unique And unity you don't critique Unity is more firm and sturdy than friendship Unity is the major key in any relationship Unity is more sentimental and deep And when relationships are founded upon it then those you will keep The bottom line is without unity you are at a loss But you cannot measure the rewarding cost My Brother
Can always make me smile Has hair of red like mine We race each other to the car Standing in the snow with bare feet We put our hands on the hot car windows Then sing camp songs at the top of our lungs Playing catch out in the yard Taking turns mowing the lawn Watching movies late at night On Saturday morph into couch potatoes We often get into fights But love each other more than life At the park we swing super high Let go and jump to the ground We dive into the swimming pool Roller skating at the rink My brother Riley and I are really close No matter what we have the other's back |
Who Am I ?
My heart to pieces will shatter People will tell me I don't matter They'll shout that I'm lying They'll cheer when I'm dying Who Am I? My back will be scarred People my flesh will have marred Tears and blood will run down my face But I still love this human race Who Am I? My hands & feet will with nails be pierced The pain from the spear will be fierce A crown made of thorns cutting into my brow I will still ask for them to be forgiven even now Who Am I? On a cross I will give my life To free you from trouble and strife I will breathe my last breath and let out a sigh But I was born to die Who Am I? In a tomb I will be laid With my death and burial your sins have been paid On third day I will rise from the dead All evil & darkness from me will have fled I will then ascend to Heaven above And I will send showers of hope & love Who Am I? This is a story that is one-hundred percent true Written to give eternal life to you My name is Jesus Christ & I've told you this that you may know The way I suffered and died was so my Father's love to you I could show Who Am I? |
Saved & Sustained
Do you know why I'm thankful today Of course I'm grateful to be here Because medically and logically speaking I shouldn't be alive or even turning 21 But here I am alive and well I'm searching for an answer Because I've had a question for years Why oh why God did you spare me As an infant I was so small and helpless An illness targeted her brain and targeted me My breathing was stopped more than 22 times Yet today no brain damage, alive, and free God I still don't understand why I'm still here Shouldn't my life have been over long ago Why did you save me and keep me here What plans do you have for my life I'm gifted with words flowing from the depths of my heart Blessed with a passion for Sign language and poetry A heart desiring the opportunity to serve all And a love for all people on earth I don't ever plan on giving up or taking my own life How would that repay my God who saved little me It'd be very selfish on my part to do so He gave me life for a reason I will use it for His glory and will praise him every day I know in all things my mighty God will make a way So thank you that today I'm 21 May I live for you forever until my life is said and done |
I Don't Understand Poem
I don't understand why people betray me why there's so much sexual sin why mom mom can still loved me after all I've done but most of all why babies are aborted why people believe we came from apes why people murder What I understand most is why my mom is so humble why God put her in my life why my brother needs me |
Morning Glory
Pitter patter goes the rain in the early morn With diamond droplets the grass is adorned A crisp cool breeze rushes past The dark of the night aside has been cast The fog settles in close to the ground An unseen piece of beauty I have found Black Cricket
I'm small and black Yet I'm still unseen You only hear my melody To you annoying But you don't know The song I sing During the day I sleep At night I'm quite loud Stop being so angry with me Listen carefully instead |
A Fire: Living or Dying
God lit a holy flame in me One to kindle and protect For awhile it was easy The Holy Spirit was in my heart But as the days passed That flame began to dwindle I went to church now and then And pretty soon didn't ever go Sin was everywhere I looked That roaring fire now only a spark I devoured the worldly pleasures Until my flame went out completely I wallowed in worldly treasures And rolled in sexual sin My heart was cold and dark Without that little flame But how could I re-kindle it How could I re-start it The flame God had put in my heart For me to kindle and protect |
You’re Still the One for Me
You’ll always be the one for me My love for you will never fade You’ll always be my one true love My love for you will last forever You’re still a light in my darkness My knight in shining armor You’re still a hope in my despair My man of truth and loyalty You’ll always have me as your own My heart for you beats every day You’ll always be the one I choose My heart for you fondly calls You’re still the one for me My body aches for your gentle touch You’re still the one for me My body craves your attention From this moment on I’ll forever stay This promise to you from me From this moment I’ll forever love you You’re still the one for me |
Eyes of Your Heart
Without the eyes of your heart From Christ you shall remain apart You need you heart to see What your eyes cannot feel Your life is in His hands Use your heart to see this Man He will never hide from you His light shall be your guide Use your heart to see the way The One true God you then shall find Remember to close your eyes Let your heart’s vision be your guide To have a relationship with Christ You need only find the light Each step that you will take Every move that you will make Will lead you into His waiting arms My child open the eyes of your heart |
America Was & America Is
America was a nation won with blood and sweat America is a nation lost with selfishness and greed America was a place of peace and hope America is a place of war and despair America was a symbol of freedom America is a symbol of captivity America was a place to start fresh America is a place to end all America was founded on equality America is founded on the mighty dollar America was a land of endless possibility America is a land of halting dead ends America was where people wanted to escape to America is where people want to escape from America was once a noble land, home of the free and brave America is now a feeble land, prison of the captive and cowards |
Missing You My Friend
I am missing you my friend My soul feels your absence My heart searches for you I can’t make this journey alone I’m afraid to face my fears My team is missing a key player Why did death have to be so cruel Can I survive without you by my side You made me laugh and cry I can’t ignore this hole inside I can’t handle the death of my best friend You were the light of my whole world My shoulders bear the weight I feel so lost without you You who loved my imperfections My love for you knows no end Death is cruel and it took you from me Death doesn’t care about our feelings It steals the things that keep you going And destroys the things that you love most I will always love you my friend I will forever cherish our friendship I will always keep my faith strong I will always hope for something better The pain will lessen over time The hurt will become a dull throb The sorrow will not penetrate my heart The desperation will slowly dissipate My love for you will last forever My hope of a new tomorrow everlasting My joy at the beauty life has to offer My faith strengthened in my God People constantly come and go in life But I will treasure the few that stay You were one who stayed through it all I am and will always be missing you my friend |
Pressure
I feel it pressing in from all sides I feel a weight on my shoulders I’m trying to stand but I can’t I’m falling and I’m struggling I fight and try to get to my feet But only succeed in stumbling again I feel this overwhelming sense of pressure Pressure to conform to a pattern A pattern accepted by some But a pattern rejected by others I feel a pressure on my mind Because of the stress and the depression I feel a pressure to be someone I’m not This standard set for who I should be I feel rejected by those who love me And welcomed by those who are toxic Why did I do things the things I did I did them because I am human A human being who makes mistakes I made a few mistakes and I’m judged I feel all this pressure to repent To be the “good girl” I was raised to be But has anyone apart from myself Considered the fact that maybe Just maybe I’m still a “good girl” That I can’t undo what I did No matter how much I may wish it But no I’m the only one who has Has taken the time to listen I can’t conform to a persona Especially a persona that no longer fits Unlike Cinderella my shoe doesn’t fit I’m not going to be able to undo anything So will those who love me stop pushing? And God make the devil stop pulling Instead of pressuring me how about accepting me I live with my mistakes every day I remind myself enough that any more is just overkill So no more pressure and no more judgement Don’t hinder my presence nor my desire A desire to serve in any way God wills Love me for me and don’t hate me for my mistakes God forgave me for mine as he did you for yours So be Christ like and do the same Let me move on by not putting me on trial I’d like to think that I have friends People that really understand and know me I’d like all this pressure to cease And I’d like to come out of hiding So Satan cannot hold me down My God shall lift me up on his shoulder From there I will create a new tomorrow A tomorrow filled with second chances Another day without the feeling of defeat Defeat is a feeling we allow ourselves to have But the feeling of defeat is done for me No more hiding and no more pressure |
Pretty Ugly Little Liar
She’s a pretty little liar Her face is super-model perfect Nothing about her is real She’s an ugly little liar Her lips dripping with sinister gossip Nothing to fear if you’re on her good side She’s a pretty ugly little liar Don’t you dare piss her off She’ll come back for her revenge ten-fold She walks the halls like she rules the world The kids all murmur but none will face her She holds all their secrets in the palm of her hand Did you think she’d keep quiet once she found out? Did you think she’d spare you the humiliation? Well if so then you’re more pitiful then I thought She was nice to you just so she’d get close You told her all about your life and she seemed sincere But that was all pretend my poor pathetic friend Cause now she’s going to tell them all about your fears Now she’s going to make you a pariah in these halls I told you not to play with fire but you sure like to juggle I’m sorry I’m not there for you but surely you understand It’s one thing to screw over yourself and screw up your life But you don’t get to do that to me and mine I saw you the other day walking at her side You’re now completely at her beck and call I promise she won’t ever show you mercy The moment you are no longer useful is coming And when it does no one will come to your aide See now you’re just like her in every single way So, you keep to the inner circle for as long as you can Soon enough you’ll see how merciless she can be But maybe you won’t dare to care until it’s too late Now you’re a pretty ugly little liar too Since you’re so close why not ask her what she really thinks You’re in for a surprise and you won’t like it one bit She owns you and controls your every move But still you won’t turn on her cause you believe her lies So, tell me little liar what secrets do you have I won’t have to wait too long before we all know what you hide Will you wait to show your face till you’re already unmasked I’d hate to be you little liar and soon you’ll hate you too My last question that I have for you is so easy as pie What flowers do you want for your social suicide? I’ll get a big bouquet for my favorite pretty ugly little liar |
Descent into Despair
She walks with eyes cast down She prepares for hurt with fear Her heart crumbles and breaks Her confidence is out of reach She tries to stand up with courage She forces herself to keep going Her life feels completely hopeless Her outlook on life is depressing Constantly feeling inadequate A desire to be good enough Constantly feeling worthless A desire to be important She is slowing descending Down the staircase of despair Her thoughts turning negative No longer a human being She’s just a face in the crown You see her without really seeing her She’s just another person You know her without really knowing her Reach out to her before it’s too late Make a difference in her life today She sees no point to life When she spends it all alone Show her that her life has meaning Show her she is beautiful just the way she is Tell her there is hope for life Tell her that she can’t give up Give her something to believe in Give her a chance to live A life lived alone is not a life A life without love is no life at all Reach out to the girl descending into despair Hope is the only thing greater than fear So give her something to hope for And change the world one person at a time Verbs of Life
To have to keep To hold to grasp To want to desire From laughs from joy From belief from hope From peace from love Have laughs keep joy Hold belief grasp hope Want peace desire love |
Hope in Grief
I’m tired of people dying That I can’t stop crying It’s like a knife to the heart A breath from the lungs departs Hearts are heavy with loss A family member has been lost I pray for the living That hope they are receiving Though sadness is in our soul We know God is in control Celebrate the departed is free Painless for all eternity Though we who still live deeply grieve And are angry that they dared to leave If we never forget the memories so dear Our loved ones will forever be near They are waiting in heaven above |
Finding Happiness
We all wish to be happy right To live life carefree and to its fullest So where can we find this rich feeling Is it becoming rich and famous Getting time in the spotlight Earning a moment as Hollywood's finest Is it discovering a cure for cancer Receiving a medal for your invention Or being praised by every media source I wish I could be happy all the time But more often than not I'm depressed Maybe my happiness is on vacation There however is where I've learned I'm wrong Happiness doesn't just come and go It's all around and I only need to know where to look |
Telegram
I still have a hard time understanding why My daddy said it was his duty to fight He said it was the right thing to do But was it his duty to die for this silly war How could it be right if it killed him That day is forever branded in my mind The officer came to our door and delivered the news Daddy had died when a cannon hit a building above him Mom told him not to go but he was too stubborn His stubbornness is what killed us Mom was never the same after that I was nine when we got the news But I had to grow up real fast Mom stopped cleaning and working She always said my daddy was to blame I don’t see it the way my mom does My heart has had a whole since I lost my daddy But it’s not his fault that he died Dying is a part of life and it was my daddy’s turn He was brave, heroic, and courageous It takes a lion’s heart to go off to war Not knowing if you will return or die I love my daddy and miss him bery much I’m sad that he won’t be here when I graduate My heart is heavy that he can’t give me away at my wedding But my daddy was brave so I will be too He Called, Did You Answer?
He called my name But I did not reply He said follow me But I did not try He shows me mercy But I'm not thankful He shows me grace But I'm not grateful He has called your name Will you reply? He has said follow me Will you try? He has shown you mercy Are you thankful? He has shown you grace Are you grateful? Nature's Beauty
A light from the sky A slow moving river Nature is full of beauty A chirping bird A frolicking squirrel Each is designed uniquely Armor of All Kinds
Like the bark on a tree Like the shell of a lobster You too have significant armor Like the claws of a bear Like the roar of a lion You too have mighty weapons Like the scales of a dragon Like the tail of a stingray You too have a firm defense A breastplate of Righteousness is your bark A Helmet of Salvation is your shell These are significant armor A sword of the spirit is each of your claws A readiness that comes from the Gospel of Peace is your roar These are mighty weapons A Shield of Faith is each of your scales A Belt of Truth is your tail These are firm defenses These are nature's armor These are your armor The armor that comes from God Wisdom & Character
A man who was wise indeed And many slaves from bondage freed An honest man was he He stood for freedom and equality He said, “A house divided cannot stand.” Oh how I'd love to meet that man The sixteenth president of our country This man representing liberty Who a genuine character displayed And on the path of righteousness he stayed Like me he was bipolar yet he persevered with hope And above his obstacles and failures he rose This humble man of truth Was killed by John Wilkes Booth A gunshot to the back of his head Only a few hours later the President was dead At the news of his assassination many despaired Because this man for the people truly cared I shed a few tears of my own By following his wisdom in my character I've grown The sixteenth President of our nation Honest Abe, yes, Abraham Lincoln What is a Dad?
Gentle and kind One of the most important people in a girl's life Without him she stumbles Without him she will fall And to herself she mumbles Does he or did he care at all She faces alone the battle of boys She wants to share with her dad her many joys She feels alone Questions she asks with the answers unknown She has lived her whole life so far without She wonders what his decision was all about Why did he leave and why did he go Why didn't he stay and how could he not know The depression and pain With only mom to sustain The questions and sadness The anxiety and gladness Alone she suffers and alone she cries Without her dad a part of her dies She is half of herself and this is bad How could she miss and love something she never She faces the future alone and scared But asks herself why she believed her daddy ever cared The connection between them lost And little does he realize how great the cost Into her a life came a guy who cared But not yet trusting cause she is scared Abandoned by the leader her dad should have been She wonders who, what, where, why and when Can she trust again a guy who loves her for her Can her courage this guy stir She longs to love and yearns to trust And with this guy this is a must He was weak and dependent upon his wife Little did he know he destroyed my life The Music in the Raindrop
I gaze at the sky and see Millions of raindrops falling toward me I hear them as they hit the ground And I realize a beautiful thing I have found I hear their gentle rhythm as they pitter patter down And I am smiling although most wear a frown The melody within them is rare indeed And of some cheering up I was in need Some drops are heavy and some are light But the tune to which they fall is just right I see the beauty that God has given to us And that is why share this with you I must I never knew just how many things I miss when I am not paying attention These things that are falling to the ground are God's perfect intervention We miss what He really wants us to see And therefore the rain must be God longs for us to see that the good far outweighs the bad And gives us the raindrops and makes us see the goodness we have always had Each raindrop is unique like a snowflake And little effort it takes I wish I had looked up sooner and realized the sight I now therefore vow that each night Before I shut my eyes I will look up at the wonder of the beautiful night skies |
A Nation's Survival
From sea to shining sea We find our nation's history The Revolutionary war in 1775 For only a few years did our nation thrive The Civil War in 1861 A repeating cycle had therefore begun Jump forward several years We find the Jews in tears Hitler is killing left and right Of his craziness historians write Presidents of our country Caused both joy and misery Washington won freedom from England Lincoln freed the enslaved black man Roosevelt provided jobs for the common man Reagan won the favor of the people in this great land From sea to shinging sea We find our nation's history August 1814 national anthem was written November 1863 the Gettysburg Address was given France, Russia, and Germany War, peace, and insanity America a mighty and great land Freedom for all and united it stands As a nation we are strong But I wonder how long With a President who loses money everyday Poisons our system in many ways How much more can we take Before our government finally breaks Our Founding Fathers are rolling over in their graves What happened to the land of the free and the home of the brave The Declaration of Independence signed in 1776 Sometimes paper is stronger than bricks The Constitution signed in 1787 Our many prayers were heard in heaven Freedom of speech and of religion In the Constitution are written The Bill of Rights expands on freedoms we've received By becoming a nation of much stress were relieved The history of our nation must be learned So we don't repeat mistakes and by them be burned If we keep on fighting more lives we shall lose Our freedom gained we constantly abuse We've been beaten by war we've been bruised Our nation's power we have misused In history we find Joshua Chamberlain A wise and courageous man Without his quick decision to at the enemy run It's said the Civil War the South would've won How many times throughout our history Have we labeled certain decisions insanity Yet here we are alive and free My people now claim your liberty Adams, Jefferson, and McKinley Leaders of our country Kennedy, Clinton, and Bush Into a new era our nation they pushed Our history is filled with failure and success The key to freedom we already possess Learn from your past mistakes or doom yourself United our country enhances itself Remember our journey Through our nation's history Remember that we are free Because one day we may not be Look back on these failures with and open mind See that we've faced obstacles of every kind But here we stand united one and all A truly united country cannot fall Lincoln says, “A house divided cannot stand.” I am blessed to live in this free land Remember Me
What will your perspective of your life be? With whose eyes will you the world see? Look at me I am right here I won’t ever disappear Do you remember me? I see the trials you have gone through I’m the only one who can make you brand new I suffered many things over 2,000 years ago If you’ve read my story then this you know Do you remember me? I have a place for you beyond the crystal sea I’m the one who set you free You are not alone My child please come home Do you remember me? They laughed at me And spit at my feet They whipped me until I bled And put a crown of thorns on my head Do you remember me? I am the Son of God and He’s the Great I Am I am the Prince of Peace and the Spotless Lamb I gave you hope when you had none I conquered the darkness with a glorious sun Do you remember me? I died on a cross on which I’d been hung My life I gave; My song had been sung They laid me in a tomb and with a rock sealed my grave The Deity who came to the world the children of God to save Do you remember me? I know you doubt and struggle to believe I want you the Holy Spirit to receive My love for you is unconditional My dying for you was intentional Do you remember me? My child you are greatly loved By Me and My Father in Heaven above I rose again on the third day And now to you I say Do you remember me? I’ve prepared a place for you One day you will be clean and brand new But now it’s your turn to pick To which path you will stick Do you remember me? I’ve not forgotten you and I never will You must listen and be still My name is Jesus Christ; I suffered and died for you Who is your way, your life, your truth? Do you remember me? |
The Humble Violet
She is always serving Of much appreciation she is deserving But she does things for others without a second thought To my life much hope and happiness she has brought Much wisdom she does possess With a state of humbleness Her heart is always open to anyone in need God has in her planted a seed She isn't popular & she isn't perfect But with her gentle spirit does she other people affect A violet is purple the color of royalty With her daily actions she displays to God loyalty She has such a quiet spirit that is constant But even with trials and blessings God gives she is content She may be old And sometimes her children she does scold But even when she is weighed down with stress The devil's evil and God's goodness never mesh She stays true to God and what she believes In difficult times her courage from God she retrieves If ever a person was a gift from above It's my mom the humble violet whom I'll always love |
Needs
I have all that I need And now I go to plant a seed God has blessed me greatly And I know he loves me dearly Thanks Lord for this day Thanks Lord that I'm awake I thank you for breathing that keeps me alive I couldn't without you survive Each day is a new slate And to make good decisions we shouldn't wait We have a chance to be free God gave us the gift of eternity He gave us the ability to talk As we as the ability to walk Us His children He will save We don't always have to be brave But when we are scared and frightened Remember our God the darkness lightened He gave His son for you and me He gave us a choice to with him forever be |
The Cry of My Heart
My heart cries out to you God of the past, present, and the future too I struggle to stay on the narrow path As I battle the Devil's increasing wrath My journey is slow But I still have room to grow However try as I might I cannot be my own light Looking for you in all that I see God please show yourself to me I've been suffering for years upon years How many times have I shed hundreds of tears Friends are few and far between Lord what does this mean? Have I always done wrong and never right Where did I go wrong in my life My days are hot my nights are cold I am too young to feel so old I can't keep going like this My days of ease I miss My plans have changed over and over again This battle on my own I can't win But I assure you I have tried Why are you just sitting by Do you care that I'm hurting The Devil my soul is mutilating My shoulders are weighed down Am I lost or am I found Show me God that you are real Eras this doubt that I feel I love you Lord but I can't stand Please raise me with your loving hand I trust you Lord with all my heart Accept this praise to you that I impart My heart for your love is aching Steps toward you I am taking But with your light I know I'll be Your child for eternity So even though I struggle and I'm beaten down with pain My God you'll always pick me up again and again |
Judgment
You are so fat You look ugly wearing that You sound stupid when you talk You look like a penguin when you walk I'm a hypocrite This I openly admit When I openly judge you I am cruel I don't take time to get to know who you really are And once again I break another person's heart The Humble Servant
He is very strong He takes his time no matter how long His explanations are very clear And he does the same thing every year He dose so much that you can't see Cause he does it humbly behind the scenes He doesn't show off and he doesn't act proud About the work he does doesn't brag out loud He has this air about him From which blossoms of God's glory stem He is a faithful servant and he knows That who he is inside is what really shows The rewards of his work tend to be unknown to him and yet that is fine But with each and every one a seed of God will be sewn How easy to be lazy and to be cruel But instead he chooses to work and I think that's pretty cool He gives and loves and cherishes His pride forever perishes He isn't full of selfishness But gives bountifully to those in distress He is quiet and serene And everything he says he does mean He's always giving and never takes away Serving God in every way He sees the world with his eyes a deep blue And a love for God and others so very true His servant's heart Does its part He possesses wisdom beyond his years His maturity provides for an opportunity of fewer tears He has a heart That from the needs of others is never apart. |

Him is such a small word But carries with it a binding chord If you open your heart for him to come in You have to be ready for His coming He may have a gorgeous smile And give you butterflies for awhile But can he support you in everything you do? Can he love you for you? Will he remember why he wanted you to be his Or will his “freedom” he greatly miss Is there anything you doubt What is he going to make your relationship all about Is his love true Or just a lie for him to get to you He may have beautiful eyes That may be gorgeous as the midnight skies But these things hold no meaning If on the world's standards he is leaning He may be perfect in everything But none of it matters if his heart isn't devoted to the one true King Friends
Share moments of great fun The humor never done Close as siblings and the best of the best Have enough love to share with the rest Share laughter and share tears Last a day or last for years It takes a long time to with a friend build trust But in a moment that friendship will bust Hold tight to those for whom you deeply care And their burdens gladly bear When weighed down with troubles And life's abundant struggles Help your friend to stand And always offer them your hand Be there for them when they are in need Always tell them they can succeed There are no troubles you can't overcome Share your concerns and then some Man of God; Godly Friend
In my darkness you were a light You gave me hope & I could see That trusting God was best You were never there when I fell But somehow your example was I've seen a change in you It wasn't subtle and it wasn't fast But your heart for God is great I see what a servant you are You have no idea how much you've helped me All you do is be yourself but that's enough I'm so blessed to have you as a friend I hope to always call you one No matter what life brings And no matter what I face You've shown me that God is bigger When I look at you I see God Because everything you do and are reflects Him I know you're not perfect and you make mistakes But you're human just like the rest of us You continue to work hard & serve This I know God will reward Your Godly example got me out of some bad situations I'll always be grateful when remember you A man of God & a Godly friend Abortion
Each child is a blessing But with them we are messing We love the pleasure of sex But then despise what comes next A baby is formed in the girl's tummy A little one to some day call her mommy Pregnancy now considered body distortion So she turns towards the option of abortion This little one so small & meek Might not live past one week The metal tools that are so sharp Begin to tear the baby apart Abortions are made up of blood and gore Of this slaughter I can take no more Whether it's early or whether it's late Appointments for abortion should never be made But we are not grateful for these gifts Our spirits this baby's birth should lift How marvelous is human life But to these children of God we take a knife They have no choice We are their voice How tragic to this privilege misuse A precious miracle to lose People with desires of selfishness Choose to ignore God's distress There is a light at the end of the tunnel for each tiny being However, it seems only to God do these babies have meaning Sex is temporary & will not last forever This baby's life we should not sever For the love between a mother and child Is something that can't be measured in miles A connection is made when the mom takes a look At this baby whose life with abortion she almost took When you feel afraid Like maybe you've been raped I promise you are not alone And this problem you won't face on your own God sees your hurt & pain But promises sunshine after the rain I believe no matter the circumstance abortion is wrong Babies in this world God says belong |
Darkness Destroyed
My heart is beating so fast How long will this terror last In darkness and shadow I sit With bated breath and fading wit I'm trapped and have no where to go Here I am all alone Through allies I stumble Lightning flashes and thunder rumbles Where is my refuge That I may avoid the coming deluge I'm choking on smoke from a fire Cause by a broken telephone wire As I travel through each alley I begin to doubt That of this giant maze I would ever get out Up ahead of me I see a light So radiant and beautiful it destroys the dark night What is this strange thing that I have discovered Secrets for years hidden that I've uncovered I am frozen in my step can't move a muscle My mind and my feet engage in a tussle With heartbeat increasing Thoughts are racing What should I do I cannot move For a moment I go back through my life Feel a pain in my stomach like the stab of a knife I remember where I'd seen this light before It was the day that God had knocked on my heart's door That was several years ago But why it came none but I know There was a time in my past When I chose to put God last Somewhere along the way to my Heavenly home I tried to do things on my own As the years went by And every day I believed each evil lie The Devil had told to trip me up and knock me down I was so lost and never found One day when I was by myself My Bible I took down off the shelf It was brand new and never read Because my mother and father had said That it was full of wishful thinking and fantasy But I whispered back it was a marvelous mystery As my childhood passed and an adult I became My belief with my parents' was the same I lost faith I God what little I had Because of the car crash that killed my mom and dad I hated God for what He did And my Bible up on this shelf I hid The next day is when I saw the light I couldn't see anything else it was too bright But it spoke to me with love Called itself a message from above That's when God found me And a out of the darkness he helped me to see For several years the Devil couldn't get into my heart Because I was letting God of my life be a part But then I began to fall away The commands of the Devil I began to obey That's the reason I've been running in fear Each and every sinful year But today the light I've once again seen When I see this light I wonder what it does mean This light that darkness does eliminate So that it can't the world contaminate I gaze into this sign of God sent down By my Heavenly Father I've once again been found No more terror and no more running The end of the Devil's evil cunning God has given me hope and grace I now look upon His face This Almighty deity Who wraps strong arms around me No more tears and no more pain By my merciful Lord I've been found again Magic
The key to every magic trick Isn't to look quick Take your time and watch the show But the more you see the less you know Magic isn't something you have to understand Simply put it is a basic slight of hand All magic is simply child's play But no one ever fully understands the Magician's way Song To A Savior
I sing a song of praise And I sing Amazing Grace I laugh inside and am filled with joy Each minute of worship I do enjoy I love to sing and dance and shout I love to praise my Awesome God out loud The news of what He has done for me Is famous beyond all comprehensibility Words flow from my heart God is of my life a part He shares in the silence when I pray He shares in the melody when I say Amazing Grace how sweet the sound He knows no greater happiness can be found I love the Lord with all my heart And from Him hope to never depart |
Freshman Year at York College
So as I sit and ponder this long year I begin to feel a warm tear It slides right down my smile As I remember the year being worthwhile I know things now will change And some things will be strange But just knowing that I am ok And I've been held close by the one to whom I pray Gives me a sense of peace Just knowing that my troubles at some point in time shall cease Yes some friends are leaving and yet I shall not fear Because I know they are still very near They have special place in the depth of my heart And no matter what happens our friendship is a work of art So sitting in my room with only silence all around This is where my memories are found I know that there are times when silence isn't good But now I know I can do what I never thought I could I am able to be quiet although it's so hard I know that in my heart What matters more is not what we say But how much time we take to listen each and every day I feel the distance coming near And of course I shed another tear But now I must trust and obey With the hope of at least one more day I have gained and I have lost But through these things there was no cost But that which I brought upon myself And although there are things I wish I could take back I know that without these things many others I would lack. It makes no sense to me, yet in some ways it does And the reason I have to give is just because This may seem long and boring But this isn't the whole story So much more has happened this year than can be explained And yet this is what you get from a brain that is completely drained I wish I could go on and tell just a little more But now I must go and wish you well to you and yours So farewell Freshman year you have been a lot of fun But how quickly you've gone by and in 3 days you shall be done. I will miss the days where nothing could go wrong And every day I could sing a happy song But things slowly went downhill and sadness over me swept But there are certain things we have to endure and this we must accept For until we see our sadness and failures as a way to grow Our true strengths we will never fully know Status: Unfriended
I can't believe I was fooled Blinded for so many years, I wanted you to be something That you’re not and can’t be I made you out to be something That you're not and can’t be I misplaced my trust and trusted you. You took that vulnerability You took my secrets Manipulated me and parts of my life Why couldn't you just be my friend Why did you have to become my enemy |
Mind vs. Heart

The Day Grace Found Me
I had an ache in my heart The mornings always had a tearful start I felt so empty inside But with a mask my hurt I would hide I would go through a day of acting But when I got home my hurt began attacking I would try to these things fight But at the end of my tunnel there was no light I had given up hope And I could just barely cope I greatly hungered for peace And wanted desperately for my hurt to cease As I came home one day and sat down in a chair The hurt overcame me with my being's last tear I went outside and looked up at the sky Then from the depths of my soul I asked why Tears filled my eyes as I sank to the ground And at that moment by grace I was found It wrapped its arms around me with love I knew in my heart that God had sent it from above For the first time I took a peaceful breath And with joy I finally wept I never thought I'd live to see The day that grace would find me |
