Old friend

two years too early or two too late. 
two hours before or two after. 
The looks you gave would still hold the same meaning. 
The touches you gave would still give the same tremble. 
The safety you gave would still hold the greatest of temptations. 
Shorter or taller
Thinner or fatter
The words you spoke would still make me feel the same.
The words you type would still fill me with anticipation.
The words you didn’t say would still be there between us. 
Never enough, but too much
Special, but not special enough.
The words I heard were clear, this was to be avoided.
The actions you made were clear, we were just fun until you met someone special. 
The hurt I felt was my own, I had met and meant special.
Not needing more, but needing something. 
Not needing forever, but needing what we had. 
Friends are forever the greatest of compliment. 
Goodbye kisses, and the pulse at your neck. 
Goodbye stroking your cheek, and face.
Goodbye chest with your strong heartbeat.
Hello to your new love and potential, to your someone special, to your gaining everything. 
Hello to my old position, to your special friend, to my loosing everything...
Because all I am, and all I will be, is an old friend.

What is truth !!

 This morning I read an article in the daily newspaper that was supposedly the “real” truth about an incident that happened recently. Was it? Or was it another opinion?

Some people lie outright or tell only some of the facts. Some withhold information and give a false impression. Sometimes, people remain silent when they know the truth. Is there anyone we can believe any more?

And, we have to admit, at one time or another, we all have been guilty of telling lies. Some times because we are unaware of the facts.

Phillip Keller, in his book, What is the Father Like? 

wrote that what God says is absolutely true because He is the embodiment of all truth, and all truth through all time has its source in God.

He reminded me in his book, that truth is constant and unchanging. God’s truth remains the same from age to age, generation to generation, no matter how things change. God’s truth will set us free 

if we act upon it. If we ignore it, our life can be wrecked - broken hearts, hopes, homes and even countries.

When Heart Controls Mind

My knees start to shake
when your in sight,
my minds filled with wonder
my heart with fright.
when will this feeling stop, 
when did it start 
how can I listen to my mind
without breaking my heart.
I am so confused, 
what should I do? 
I can't think of anything 
except of you.
Should I ignore you 
or just give it time
I can't think straight 
my heart controls my mind.

Good morning

Upon waking this morning, before I can get out of bed,
I among others, another day I sorely dread.
My first thought even surprised me you see,
for not only for myself, but for you also I would plead.
I pray that God will not only grant me blessings from above,
but that he will also grant them for those that I love.
So humbly and softly I begin to pray,
not really sure just what to say,
But for all those that I love and adore,
I must cry out, before my feet even touch the floor.
Lord I ask that you will bless us this day,
please bless all in a great and mighty way.
Lord I ask that all of those of whom I know and love,
be filled this day with blessings from above.
Let sadness be turned into gladness,
let the poor become rich, let clothes be mended with only a stitch.
Let the heavy hearted begin to sing for joy,
just as a child when he opens a new toy.
Dear Lord let the tears be turned into laughter,
let mothers read to children the happily ever afters.
Let empty cupboards be filled, let the sick be healed,
please Lord answer my prayer, for on my knees I have knee led.
Let the sinner receive forgiveness, let the lost be found,
let bondage's and strongholds begin to break down.
May the joy of the Lord reign in our lives,
and may those who are blind, now open their eyes.
Let the children safely run, jump, and play,
and may the adults in unity begin to pray.
Let the birds begin to sing, as they watch the works of the king,
Lord pour out your blessings today upon everything.
Upon every step taken, upon every word spoken,
upon every cake baking, upon every heart that's broken.
And let the testimonies of today brighten,
and to the lost may they enlighten.
and last but not at all in the least,
this final request I make of you please,
to lay your protective hand upon each shoulder,
and allow the old to become even older.
With the world as it is we could all use a break,
so this morning Lord, this approach I humbly take.
Bless us Lord I humbly pray,
bless us all with the most beautiful day.

Ocean Love

Will you run into my arms the first time you see me,
Just as you whispered across the Ocean or Caribbean Sea,
When my eyes, red from the sleepless night, anxious to see you in reality Hides its beauty?
Will you embrace me so it feels like forever,
Though the smell of your perfume diffuses all over,
And my clothes worn, having refused to be adorned
By whom I'm scorned?
Will you love me tomorrow as you do today,
When I’m lost for words, with nothing to say, 
Overwhelmed at the thought that you chose me
From the many hunters, all armed in their beauty?
Will you still love me when I have loved you so much,
That all I do is stand in wait to satisfy your desires in a rush, 
And my olive-brown skin no longer glows, but wrinkles
From life’s blows?

Hurricane force winds

Should you find yourself at the captain's helm, as everyone around you is jumping ship.
Do not lose your stride.
Do not miss a step.
Because I will be right beside you, braving the storm.
As the cruel dark clouds loom just above the bow, and the torrential rains begin to fall.
Your nerves may get the best of you, but that is perfectly natural.
All you must do is reach out and take my hand.
I will calm those panicked thoughts causing your mind to spin.
I will stand at your side through hurricane force winds,
and together we'll be able to keep our footing.
Life may attempt to send us to the ocean depths,
but together we will survive this hellish night
to see the sun again.

Just close your eyes

Did I Ever Ever Hold You - Say I Miss You Every Night?
And I Cannot Find My Sleep Girl - If I Cannot Hold You Tight
Did I Tell You When You Left Me - There's No Sun Up In The Sky
And I Cried So Many Times Girl - Oh, Like A Broken Toy
Oh, I Cannot Stand The Pain Girl - It Was Over I Can See
And You Told Me Lady - There's A Chance For You And Me
Just Close Your Eye's And Stay With Me
There Is A Place - Where I Wanna Be With You
Just Close Your Eye's And Take Me In Your Heart
I Will Love You Pretty Baby - If You Try A Start
Did I Ever Ever Tell You - That I Dreamt Of You Last Night
Is There Anything I Can Do - 'Cause I Wanna Hold You Tight
Did I Tell You I Was Dying - As You Turned The Day To Night
Take Away My Sweet Sweet Heaven - So I Just Can't See The Light
Oh, I Cannot Stand The Pain Girl - It Was Over Now I See
And Now You Hold Me Baby - A Second Chance For You And Me

Just Close Your Eye's And Stay With Me
There Is A Place - Where I Wanna Be With You
Just Close Your Eye's And Take Me In Your Heart
I Will Love You Pretty Baby - If You Try A Start
 

Until it affects someone we love,
We don’t even know it’s there.
It’s really not our problem,
So why should we care.
The statistics are quite shocking,
One in four they say
Will suffer from depression
In their lives one day.
There’s not much stigma anymore
For this serious mental flaw.
But no one knows where it will strike,
It’s just the luck of the draw.
No one would choose to live with it,
And some don’t even try.
I see my daughter suffering
And all she can do is cry.
Most people turn the other cheek,
They’ve been doing it for years.
But I must face the pain I see,
In my daughter’s hidden tears.

Ashes in my eyes

When the sun starts to fade
No I won't give in, cause your 
face still remains
and your soul is in beneath my skins.
i wished your body is next to mine,
yet your heart was
never mine, it still belong to someone 
so you will remain ashes in my eyes.
No your hands could never be mine, but
my heart is all yours all the time, how could you 
be mine, when your
not meant to be mine.
oh I wish I was the one
who's always with you all
the time, never I mind the 
imperfections between you and 
I, but you will still remain ashes in my eyes.

Why it has to be you?

Sitting alone and silently
I recall a special part of my life
That part came unexpectedly
And lasted only for a while.
My life has been quite and peaceful
Until that unforgettable moment
You came like a silhouette of my soul
Then you walked right through my heart.
Everyday was a picture of happiness
There's no hint of loneliness
Everything was wonderful
Because I spent it with you.
But then, as time goes by
Feelings begin to fade away
Tears fall down one by one
And it kills me to say goodbye.
Every time my mind says move on
my heart says hold on
So many questions inside my head
But the answers are all up to you.
Loving someone like you
Without boundaries
Makes me think deeply again,
Why, Why it has to be you?

Show the World What you can do !!

Look Outside, see the trees
Watch the flowers in the breeze
Things won't be like this in a year or two
If polluting is all we do
Seize the night
Seize the day
Things won't always be this way
Thousands of people are dying
In the night you hear children crying
Let's stop the war
Our people are sore
The world can't help itself
Who cares about your wealth
Help me to help you
Show the world what you can do.

That treeless orb's .. no longer Earth

Can earth be Earth when all it’s trees are gone,
And sudsy waters have become unfit,
And poisoned life no longer greets the dawn
With raucous sounds that death has caused to quit?
Will trees no longer wave, with limbs unfurled,
On hapless earth, that ever in orbit roams?
Will human ego sacrifice the world
To satiate its lust for pompous homes?
Will distant space look down on orb that’s bald.
I now can hear the mother say,
“I was once called Earth.
But now , bereft of mirth, I weep. 
That treeless orb’s no longer Earth”

Seasons

Winter is cold, with gusts of tumbling snow
When rain falls down and nothing ever grows
For children it’s the snow that they desire
And cups of co-co in front of the fire
When winters gone, the grass grows green again
Roses and Tulips sprout, with bright green stems
The bees are buzzing, the birds are singing
Sheep are grazing and cow bells are ringing
And then the sun starts to shine too brightly
It’s so hot that fans are put on nightly
And so then it’s off to the beach or pools
Where people swim about just to keep cool
All the leaves on the trees turn golden-brown
And when on the ground make a crackly sound
In autumn a lot of money you make 
For clearing backyards of leaves with a rake
Each season has its own goods and its bads
But since they are all different I am glad!

Goodbye

When friends share experiences together, and then they must part, there is a feeling of sadness. Saying goodbye to friends that we feel connected to is an occasion of somber reflection. It is hard to imagine our lives without them, and yet we have no choice but to go on. It is comforting to know that for however long you will be separated you will always be in each others hearts. It is also an opportunity to be more present to others in your life and to look for opportunities to form new friendships.

Start to learn

I can see the pain in your eyes from the hurt in your heart, 
and I'd really love to fix it just don't know where to start. 
Every time you let me in a little you shut me right back out, 
and it makes me wanna scream, 
"I am a grown man and games are not what I'm about!!!"
But instead I'll say I like you and I'll say it a million more times, if that's what it takes for you to know for you to acknowledge it in your mind. 
I will never hurt here it is on paper in pen, and I bet if you look at the bottom of these feelings hitting paper you'll find my signature at the end. 
You have to know I love you, after all this time. 
I'm just afraid because when I'm with you my heart is no longer mine. So this is it I'm giving in. 
My white flag has hit the sky. 
I'm giving you my everything don't make me wonder why. 
I like you then, I like you now, and somehow I know I always will. 
So for me please take your time, relax your mind, and start to learn how .. to chill.

I'm Sad

Can't help myself from feeling sad, the feelings I had from you is something I never had.
Trying to move on and let all of it go, realizing time without you goes by slow.
It's hard not to ask the question why, I still like you, there is no reason for me to lie, While i got your first lie.
Knowing that it won't be easy to move on. time spent without you feels like you're already gone.
Wondering if there could ever be another chance, Me being around you I can't help but glance.
Hard not knowing where we went wrong. Trying not to let it get to me, I'm trying to stand strong.
Knowing something so good got away; trying to figure out if there is something .. I could .... say.

Careful to never break.

Together we may struggle
but without you all I feel is pain.
Sometimes I may seem confused
but there is one thing that will never change.
The feelings I have for you don't fade or go away.
They continue to grow stronger each day.
Life without you is something I can't imagine.
From within my soul, it's you I'd miss.

I understand this world more then you may know.
I could believe in fate and put up a fight.
But you and I are not written.
Although there is a truth I'd like to write.
We both have scars,
with memories that can not be erased,
but together we are stronger.
In your hands my heart has been placed.

This is a choice I have made.
I understand the risk I take.
Please hold my heart dear to you.
Careful to never break.
If you do stumble or fall,
please don't forget to gather all the pieces.
It's your choice of what to do with them.
