You pour out from up above

You see all the good in me

something that even I didn't see

When I wanted to run and hide

you were there for me to confide

When the things were going down

You always took off your mighty crown

To come down to me and say

everything is gonna be okay

I would sometimes run away

like a lamb that's gone astray

You, my shepherd, would never fear

because You knew that You were always near.

At different moments I'd wonder why

what did I do to deserve this and cry

What did I do to receive Your love

Your never ending care from up above.

So as I sit and pray today

please Lord humble me everyday

Please remind me of Your never ending love

that You pour out from up above.

Prayer For a Friend

"Prayer For A Friend"

Lord I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do

I lift my friend to You

Complicated circumstances have clouded his view

Lord, I lift my friend up to You

I fear that I won't have the words that he needs to hear

I pray for Your wisdom, oh God, and a heart that's sincere

Lord, I lift my friend up to You

Lord, I lift my friend to you

My best friend in the world, I know he means much more to You

I want so much to help him, but this is something he has to do

And Lord, I lift my friend up to You

'cause there's a way that seems so right to him

But You know where that leads

He's becoming a puppet of the world, too blind to see the strings

Lord, I lift my friend up to You

My friend up to You

Lord, I lift my friend to You, I've done all that I know to do

I lift my friend to You.

Soldier

I guess my blog theme is Family for today? Enjoy!

Soldier

The first day that he left

With a big smile on his face

He gave me a high five

As he walked out the door

Everyday I pray

That he'll be home safe

Kneeling by my bed

Whispering soft prayers

Everyday I walk

Down to the old baseball field

Playing as a lead pitcher

On my high school team

Everyday I pray

That he'll be home safe

And maybe someday

He'll be here to see

Everyday I remember

The days we played catch

He was the very first

Who taught me how to pitch

On the last day of the season

Playing my final game

I just hit a home run

And heard a loud shout

It was my father

In the stands

Yelling

I'm proud of you son!

And without hesitation

I yelled back

I'm proud of you too dad...

Steinway

It's a short personification poem about a steinway~ enjoy!

Steinway

I sat

Infront of my old friend

He listened

Like many times before

I opened my heart

Willingly with ease

He accepted my heart

Letting me express

Sometimes

He would cry

Shouting in anger

and fury

Other times

He would whisper

So soft and

Tender

He reached out to me

When I needed him most

He pulled away from me

When my mind went astray

We had many ups and downs

Through these many years

But in the end I still sit...

In front of my old friend
