Creative Writer Meets The World

When The World Seems Against You

2011-09-02T01:36:00.001-07:00

When the world seems against you,
When everything seems dark,
When every moment seems to be heartache,
And you feel you cannot rest,
When exhaustion seems to be,
An everyday occurrence,
When tiredness seems to set in,
And nothing else is left,
Keep on going,
Keep it up,
Keep your head held up high,
Even if you do not know,
What you are fighting for,
You can keep going,
Through it all,
Even when the world seems against you,
When the world seems against you,
And nothing seems right,
When joys seem to be fading,
And do not want to last,
When happiness seems like a dream,
From yesterday,
And not reality within your heart,
Your mind,
Your soul,
Each moment,
Seems to be rougher,
Than the moment before,
Do not give up,
Keep on going,
Keep it up,
Keep your head held up high,
Through the darkness,
Through the daze,
Through the rain,
Of the people who want to bring,
Bring you down,
Bring you to that part,
Where you do not want to believe,
And when that world is against you,
Wants to put every road block,
In your way,
Just keep on going,
Keep it up,
Keep your head held up high,
Do not lose sight,
Do not lose your way,
There are going to be moments,
There are going to be days,
There are going to be times,
When everything seems to be against you,
When everything seems to want to knock you down,
And it is during that time especially,
That you got to keep on going,
Keep on believing,
Through each every part,
Of the way,
There are always those that will try to hurt you,
Or try to get in your way,
Just keep on going,
Keep it up,
Keep your head help up high,
Keep that belief,
No matter how people treat you,
No matter if the world,
If the world seems against you today.

Swirls Upon Swirls

2011-09-02T00:47:00.000-07:00

Swirls upon swirls,
Flowing,
Combining,
Spacing,
Curling,
Touching,
Close,
Our life swirls,
Our dreams swirls,
Our moments swirl,
Round,
Round,
We go through this,
Through good times,
Through bad times,
Through darkness,
Through light,
We dance,
We flow,
We bump,
We laugh,
We cry joy,
We cry hurt,
We swirl,
Swirls like life,
Keep on flowing,
Keep on going,
Day by day,
Light upon light,
Depth upon depth,
We prance,
We dance,
We sway,
We flow,
Through each moment,
Through each day,
Through each other,
Upon the way,
Upon the life,
We all live,
Through this journey,
On this world,
Swirls upon swirls,
When looking high,
When looking from a distance,
That we take,
Day upon day,
Moment upon moment,
Every single day,
As we move through this life,
Swirl upon swirl.

The World In Our Hands

2011-09-02T00:12:00.000-07:00

We all hold a part of this world,
In our hands,
We hold the world’s hopes,
Faith,
Fears,
Dreams,
Realities,
War,
Peace,
Joy,
Beauty,
And everything that is part of our world,
We hold the world in our hands,
Even if it feels big,
Immense,
Huge,
Large,
But there is a part of us,
That is within our core,
We all need to take a moment,
We all need to take time,
To remember how we affect,
The world around us,
We must try to care for it,
Even through the difficult times,
We all hold the world in our hands,
It depends on us,
Needs us,
Believes in us,
We need to find a way,
To keep the peace,
Realize the worth,
Of everything around us,
We can all do our part,
All we have to do is reach,
Reach out,
Reach out our hand,
Our hand to hold,
Each person we touch,
Each person we come in contact with,
Each person that is within our grasp,
Because every one of us,
Every one of us is important,
And it takes every person,
Every one of us,
That extends our hands,
Extends our hands beyond,
Beyond where we live,
Where we roam,
Where we go,
Through our life,
Through our journeys,
Because the world,
The world relies on us,
As it is in our hands.

Fourteen Years

2011-09-01T23:19:00.001-07:00

You and I have been through so much,
Fourteen years now it has been,
You have stood beside me,
When everyone else was gone,
We have had our ups and downs,
As in any other relationship,
But there you have stood,
Through the thick and thin,
Through the darkness and the light,
Through wrong and the right,
We have both gone through good things,
Bad things,
And everything in between,
Memories we have,
Time we hold,
Moments that will last,
Through this year,
The next year,
And beyond,
I trust you with all my life,
With all my thoughts,
All my dreams,
All my hopes,
Our lives have changed,
In so many ways,
But we are still great friends,
To this day,
I cannot imagine life,
Without you around,
And you are very important in my life,
And even with the changes coming now,
I know I can count on you,
Through thick and thin,
And I know you will stand there,
With me as you have thousands of times before,
As I start my life anew,
Marrying my wonderful Troy,
And being by his side,
But I know you will still be there,
For the both of us,
Because you are that type of friend,
That friendship lasts for a lifetime,
No matter what comes,
Or changes,
And through every part,
Of our lives,
I know you will be there,
As you have shown this through these 14 years,
And I am forever grateful,
That you are my best friend.

Your Love Surrounds Me

2011-09-01T03:59:00.001-07:00

Your love surrounds me,
Your belief in us is within my heart,
Within my soul,
In the depths,
In the corners,
In every spot between,
In this world,
The look in your eyes surrounds my memories,
As they look deep,
Deep within mine,
As filled with love,
As your heart,
As my heart to you,
Your happiness surrounds me,
Through every moment,
Through every second,
Through every part of the day,
Gets me through these last moments,
Before I am by your side,
Every single day,
As your wife,
As the one you can put trust in,
As the one you can put faith in,
As the one you can put your love in,
As the one you can put joy in,
That will stand beside you,
No matter what gets thrown our way,
Your hope surrounds me,
Hope for our future,
Hope for our dreams,
Hope for our life together,
No matter the craziness we have both seen,
To be strong even when we want to be weak,
To be there for each other,
When all else wants to fail,
Hope for our dreams,
Hope for our life together,
No matter the craziness we have both seen,
To be strong even when we want to be weak,
To be there for each other,
When all else wants to fail,
Our love surrounds me,
It covers me,
Takes care of me,
Gives me all I need,
Gives me faith,
Dreams,
Hope,
Love,
Even through the harder days,
Your love surrounds me,
No matter where I am,
No matter where I might be,
Even when I am home with you,
I know your love will surround me,
Even more engulfing me,
Holding me,
Bringing a safe,
Comfortable feeling,
Because I feel warm,
With your love surrounding me.

Little Star

2011-09-01T03:15:00.000-07:00

Twinkle,
Twinkle,
Little star,
Now that I’m older
I know that you are,
The bright shining light,
That shines on through,
Through the darkness,
When all hope seems lost,
When all the darkness seems to engulf,
The light that wants to come through,
Bringing hope that wants to beat through,
Through to the darkness that surrounds,
That surrounds many of us,
Because we want to give up hope,
We want to give up faith,
We want to give up belief,
We want to give up,
Because we are lost,
Lost without hope,
Lost without belief,
Lost without beauty,
Lost without dreams,
Twinkle,
Twinkle,
Little star,
Now that I’m older,
I know that you are,
Something that is beyond just a dream,
Or rhyme,
You are more than just something,
We think about when one is young,
We look out to the sky,
Wishing,
Wondering,
If the wishes I make now,
Will be any different,
Then I made before,
Knowing I am older,
Wiser,
Been through more,
But even now,
I still sometimes need,
Just to look out,
To those stars,
To think of that little rhyme,
I remember from a child,
That you would state,
Just as you would stare,
Across through the moon,
And the horizon,
And the many other stars,
Twinkle,
Twinkle,
Little star now that I’m older,
I know that you are,
Still something to still look at,
Through the darkness of the sky,
And thank,
And wonder,
And wish,
And hope,
That you can bring,
The dreams I wish tonight.

Please Welcome Us

2011-09-01T02:21:00.001-07:00

Time is slowly going,
Moments keep on fading,
Soon it will be that moment,
That all these things have been leading to,
That all these moments have been coming to,
Nothing more will stand in our way,
To that moment,
To that time,
To when the pastor says,
Please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Buffington,
When we get to smile,
As we have been joined together,
And brought together as one,
This journey has been laid before us,
We have been brought together,
God will be our anchor,
We will stand forever,
No matter what they say,
No matter what they might do,
No matter what will go on,
This is what we been waiting for,
I am not going to ever let you go,
This is the moment I have been waiting for,
God will give us both strength and comfort,
Even through the anxious,
And the nerves,
My dreams have been filled,
With you,
Through many years,
Through many years from now,
And this moment,
This moment is just the start,
From many moments,
I welcomed you into my heart,
You gave me to all I needed,
And I knew it than,
As I know it now,
That God had been watching,
And waiting,
And wanted to set us on this path,
My heart beats with you my darling,
And I welcome to be with you,
Be with you for the rest of our lives,
Be with you through everything,
That lies ahead of us now,
I love you my darling,
And the moment is coming soon,
When our pastor says those magical words,
And we start our next part of our life together,
The moment is coming,
The seconds keep on going,
And I am looking forward,
To that day we are joined together,
Joined by those words,
After we say those vows,
Of becoming husband and wife,
And then being welcomed to the world,
As being one,
And I am glad,
That we will be welcomed as such,
Because we are meant to be,
Be together to the end.

Set Your Sights High

2011-09-01T01:40:00.001-07:00

Now is the time to set your sights high
And go for it,
That is what they say,
Do not let things stand in your way,
Forget all the hardships,
Forget all the strife,
Forget what they say,
Just keep on doing it,
Keep on doing it anyways,
Forget that they tell you it’s wrong,
Forget that they tell you that you cannot do it,
Forget that they say they have their doubts,
Show them,
Have them eat the words they say,
As now is the time to set your sights high
And go for it,
Because they do not understand,
They cannot comprehend,
What is within your heart,
What is within your soul,
What is within your mind,
That you can get through,
Through those hardships,
Through the strife,
Through what they say,
Because you are going to keep doing it,
Keep on doing it anyways,
Remember only you,
Only you can know what is inside,
Your heart,
Mind,
And spirit,
They do not know,
What you go through,
When they do not take the chance,
Take the chance to know you,
So set your sights high,
Go for that goal,
And keep on believing,
Keep on believing in yourself.

He Belonged To Her

2011-09-01T00:44:00.000-07:00

She looks at him with her eyes,
And wonders if he can hear her heart,
As it beats,
As it sings,
As it tells him things,
That is within,
She wants to say the words,
But the words seem to be stuck in her mind,
She wants to tell him,
She wants to scream it,
She wants to show him,
That perhaps he belonged to her,
That perhaps she was the one,
That was meant to be with him,
That was meant to be his forever,
That was meant to be his dream,
That was meant to be his eternity,
From this moment on,
She looks at him with her heart,
Wanting to tell him every single word,
That she felt inside it,
Wanting to tell him,
How much he means to her,
How important he is to her,
How she felt he belonged to her,
That he was the one,
The one that she had been looking forward to,
The one she had been searching for,
The one she had been waiting for,
The one she had been praying for,
The one she had been dreaming about,
That he was the one that belonged to her,
Belonged to her because he,
He was the one she loved,
The one that means the world to her,
The one that means everything,
Everything in her life,
Because he,
He belonged to her.

Surround Yourself

2011-08-31T23:04:00.000-07:00

You will surround yourself with
Warmth and riches,
With dreams and happiness,
With laughter and love,
With smiles and joy,
With memories and moments,
You will surround yourself with
Beauty and love,
Dreams that touch the sky,
And touch the inner most part of your heart,
Dreams that touch the inner most part of your soul,
All of this can be yours,
If you do this today,
Surround yourself with these things,
In everything that you do,
Do not let the doubters get you down,
Do not let no to make you stop,
Rejection is everywhere,
Some will never fully understand your vision,
Your hopes,
Your dreams,
Your love that rides inside,
No matter what is going on,
No matter who follows you,
And who leaves you,
Keep this faith,
Keep this hope,
And surround yourself,
Surround yourself with warmth and riches,
Things that is not always tangible,
But deep within your heart,
True warmth and riches are not found,
By money,
By material things,
By things that do not last,
It is found by things that do not have,
A price tag,
That means more than any number,
That someone can find,
So remember this,
You will surround yourself with
Warmth and riches,
If you allow yourself,
The ability to keep the important,
In your heart,
In your soul,
In your mind,
In your life,
Forever more.

This Is How It Will Be

2011-08-31T03:37:00.000-07:00

Just when you think it is over,
When you feel there is nothing to fight for,
When you feel that there is nothing,
Nothing that can possibly give you hope,
When darkness seems to be your only friend,
And hurt is all around,
Just keep on going,
Keep on going,
Keep that head up high,
Because this is how it will be,
Through the darkness and the strife,
There is still always faith,
There is still always light,
There is still always someone,
You have not come across to,
That will bring you,
Take you,
Believe you,
To the highest place,
And this is how it is,
Just when you think your insecurities,
Are going to put a dent into your future,
Into your life,
When you feel like the voices,
Are being so loud,
And cannot be calm,
And quiet,
When you feel there is no end,
To all of this,
Just keep on going,
Keep on going,
Keep that head up high,
Because this is how it will be,
Through all those insecurities and those voices,
There is still always faith,
There is still always light,
There is still always someone,
Who believes in your deepest dream,
In your deepest wish,
In yourself,
Even when you feel you cannot,
Just when life seems the roughest,
And nothing seems to work,
To all of this,
Just keep on going,
Keep on going,
Keep that head up high,
Because this is how it will be,
No matter the challenge,
No matter the destination,
No matter the hardship,
No matter where you will go,
You got to keep on going,
Keep on going,
Keep that head up high,
Because this is how it will be,
You are meant for greatness,
You just have to believe,
You just have to have that faith,
In everything you need,
And you will find,
That this is how it will be.

Emptiness

2011-08-31T02:40:00.001-07:00

Emptiness was filling the room,
As things were removed,
The memories still echoed,
Through the walls,
Even though much was not there anymore,
The days were going quick,
Studying the last bit of the walls,
That was part of her home for so long,
Many good things were made there,
Many bad things were done there,
The day was approaching quickly,
Excitement was thick in the air,
Life was moving forward,
And soon she would be starting a new,
She was marrying her best friend,
In a few days’ time,
Anything but emptiness was in her heart,
Her heart was so big,
Full of love,
Excitement,
Wonder,
Dreams,
Hopes,
For her future,
The day was finally coming,
And the emptiness from the past,
Was retreating more,
And more by the day,
Emptiness,
Was around physically,
In the room,
But fullness,
Was taking its place,
Within her heart,
As the days chase each other,
And things keep on going,
Emptiness in the room was growing,
Emptiness in her heart was fading,
And fullness was replacing,
The emotions in her heart,
And the love was growing,
Each and every day,
Leaving emptiness only physical,
In the room,
With the bare,
White walls.

She Doesn't Belong

2011-08-31T02:00:00.000-07:00

Summer memories start to fade,
As the school bell rings,
To start a new year,
Laughter is echoed through the halls,
As she walks through quietly,
She is the one without many friends,
She is the one that people pretend,
That she does not even exist,
She does not even belong,
She holds up her head,
Does not let it get to her,
She knows the truth,
Inside her soul,
The guy she loved was away,
And did not go to the same school,
As she did,
Her best friend was not there,
To help comfort her,
During this time,
She hears the others laughing,
Talking about everything from the summer,
About the memories they shared,
The ones she was not a part of,
Because no one seemed to care,
No one took an interest,
From this lone girl,
And she just wished she was anywhere,
But there,
The bell rings,
She walks quickly to the class,
The bullies now are on their best behavior,
They rather not start something in class,
She sits there listening to the teacher,
Trying to put her mind at ease,
They whisper,
They talk,
They think they know it all,
But they do not realize,
She has a deep heart,
A passionate soul,
Who cares for others,
But they do not see,
They fail to try to understand,
As the last of the summer memories fade,
She holds up her head,
Despite the words she hears,
She will not let them,
Let them get to her,
Not this school year,
Because she knows the truth,
She knows the beginning,
The middle,
And the end,
And she knows that he loves her,
Even if they cannot understand.

Imagine If Just For Today

2011-08-31T01:16:00.001-07:00

Imagine if just for today,
That there was no more pain,
That there was no more war,
That there was no more heartache,
That there was no more strife,
That there was no more sadness,
Just imagine,
Even if it was for one day,
What would you do?
If that happened today?
Would you make the most of it?
Would you go up to someone?
Would you tell them how much you appreciate them?
Even if you didn’t know them?
Would you reach out?
Where you are not reaching out now?
Would you tell someone you love them?
From the one you are hiding it from now?
Would you give that chance?
Because you are not afraid,
Of someone hurting you?
Because you are not afraid,
To share those emotions,
Deep within your heart,
Deep within your soul,
Imagine if just for today,
That there were no more difficulties,
That there was no crime,
That there was no hatred,
That there was only love,
That there was only kindness,
That there was only peace,
That there was nothing more,
Than caring,
Sharing,
Fellowship,
Imagine it just for today,
That all these things,
Could be a part of your life,
And not be what it is now,
Imagine,
If you can?
If you want?
If it is important,
As it is to so many others?
This world is falling,
There is much darkness everywhere,
We cannot hear the calling,
The calling that wants us,
Wants us to leave the darkness,
And follow the light,
Follow the light to the path,
The path that is waiting for you,
Where you no longer have to imagine,
Just for today,
The peace that can be found,
Found in Him.

On My Way

2011-08-27T01:30:00.001-07:00

On my way to work I found,
You there standing,
Looking around,
Looking for something,
Looking for someone,
I couldn’t tell,
It looked as you were looking,
Looking for something that cannot be found,
Not there where you are looking,
So many people are lost today,
Lost trying to find the truth,
Trying to find the way,
Trying to find something to fulfill,
The emptiness they cannot explain,
But feel inside their heart,
On my way to home I found,
Another one standing there,
Looking around,
Looking for something,
Looking for someone,
I couldn’t tell,
It looked as they were lost,
And they couldn’t be truly found,
They wanted to find a way,
Find a way to fulfillment,
But didn’t know how,
Didn’t know You,
Didn’t know about Your Son,
Didn’t know the peace that can be found,
On my way to see my family I found,
Another one standing there,
Looking around,
Looking for something,
Looking for someone,
I couldn’t tell,
It looked as they were lost,
And they couldn’t be truly found,
Everywhere I was turning,
No matter where I was going,
I kept on seeing them,
Every single person,
Different ages,
Different races,
Different sexes,
Different types of people,
All made in the image,
Of what you wanted them to be,
All so different,
Yet all the same,
Looking,
Searching,
Wishing,
Wanting,
To be found,
But they don’t know,
And I will try to reach out,
I know my mission,
I know Your plan,
We must keep on trying,
As we see each and every one,
Bring them to You,
Bring them to see,
That there is hope,
There is a way to be fulfilled,
And on my way,
Wherever I maybe,
Let me be reminded,
By Your Spirit,
To find the lost,
And bring them home.

If Only I

2011-08-26T04:21:00.000-07:00

If only it was finally that moment,
If only time would go fast enough,
But yet slow enough to enjoy,
If only I could just walk down that aisle,
To you as you stand there,
On top of those stairs,
If only it was finally true,
The dream,
The wish,
The moment,
When our lives start as one,
When our bond is made,
In the sight of God,
In the sight of our family,
In the sight of our friends,
In the sight of everyone that means,
The world to us,
If only I could take that vow,
That vow of honoring,
Of cherishing,
For the good times,
For the bad times,
No matter what happens in our lives,
For every single day,
To pledge myself to you,
If only it was now,
So I no longer have to wait,
To be yours fully,
To be your wife,
If only I could be,
Be your love always,
Be your bride,
Even though there isn’t much time,
Even though the day will be here soon,
I want to just make that vow,
Speak those words,
Tell the world,
Tell Him,
Tell our friends,
Tell our family that I,
I want to only love you,
Love you for the rest of our lives,
If only I could speak it now,
Speak it fully,
Those beautiful words,
That beautiful vow,
Of loving you,
Cherishing you,
Being your wife,
Forever more,
If only I could do it now.

My Priorities

2011-08-26T03:42:00.000-07:00

God is my priority,
My faith in Him
To led us in our path is my priority,
Our relationship is my priority,
Even through any difficult moment,
Any difficult time,
Any difficult situation,
Getting through it is my priority,
Loving you every single day,
Regardless of what is going on,
Is my priority,
My commitment to you is my priority,
Everything else is secondary,
Knowing that He brought us together,
Knowing that He must be our center,
Knowing that we need to keep our foundation,
Knowing that we need to work together,
Work to make sure that we,
Put Him,
Than us as a couple a priority,
Friends,
Family,
Hobbies,
Interests,
Jobs,
Careers,
Everything else
Is secondary,
Even though all these other things,
Can be good in our lives,
Can be helpful in our days,
Him,
Us,
That’s our priority,
Believing,
Knowing,
Trusting,
Putting our Faith in Our Lord,
That is our priority,
Things come,
Things go,
Material possessions leave,
Friends may come and go,
But this,
This is our priority,
Because our relationship,
Our foundation must be firm,
Firm in Him,
For the rest of our days,
And loving each other,
Standing there for each other,
Being there for each other,
That is our priority,
Let all other things come to pass,
We will build to make it last,
And that is our priority.

Connections

2011-08-26T02:48:00.000-07:00

We are connected,
Trees are connected,
The sky is connected,
The sun is connected,
The moon is connected,
The ground is connected,
Everything is connected,
From one place to another,
Through connections you can see,
Connections you can feel,
Connections you imagine,
Connections you believe in,
And every other connection in between,
We are connected,
Even if we might not know it,
Even if we might not show it,
Even if we might not believe it,
Even if we might not desire it,
We are all connected,
Because we are all the same,
And all different,
We all have the same emotions,
But the effects can be as deep as the soil,
Or as high as the sky,
There is no silver thread seen,
At least by our eyes,
But we are connected,
Every part of us,
Every one of us,
Connected,
Suns,
Clouds,
Sky,
Rain,
Trees,
Roots,
Together,
Connected,
Through our cycle,
On this world,
We are connected,
Even when we do not see,
Or believe,
The connection is there,
Deep in our heart,
Deep in our soul,
All it takes is the realization,
That we all need,
We must be able to rely,
On this connection,
In order to truly survive.

Love Grows On Trees

2011-08-26T01:51:00.000-07:00

Love grows on trees,
Because it should be given to everyone,
To every person,
For free,
To see the hearts decorate,
To feel that emotions,
In the depth of your heart,
In the depth of your soul,
Money cannot buy true happiness,
But love,
True love,
The love you feel in the depths of your heart,
In the depths of your soul,
In the depths of the eyes,
When you stare close,
When you look deep,
Deep inside the one,
The one you love with all your heart,
All your soul,
All your beauty,
All of everything around you,
Love grows on trees,
Or so it should,
As it is something precious,
Something meaningful,
Something that relies on every person,
To have a heart,
To open that heart,
To give it freely,
As trees give shade,
As trees give us oxygen,
In order to breathe,
Love grows on trees,
Because who needs money,
When love can be free,
Even if the money grew,
It would not create happiness,
It would not change us,
It would not challenge us,
It would not give us something,
To want to strive for,
To want to hope for,
To want to believe in,
That can give us so much joy,
So much sorrow,
So much pain,
So much hardship,
Yet so much happiness,
So much beauty,
That cannot be compared,
Compared to anything in our world,
If love grew on trees,
Perhaps there would be more peace,
Perhaps there would be more happiness,
Perhaps there would be less strife,
Perhaps there would be fewer hardships,
To all those in the world,
If love grew on trees,
Perhaps than we would see,
That the best thing we can hope for,
Believe in,
Put faith in,
Is love,
Love for our neighbor,
Love for our friends,
Love for our family,
Love for everyone around,
Be an example,
Give a helping hand,
Think about others,
And put out that belief,
That there was truly something,
Worth grabbing onto,
If love grew on trees.

Opposites

2011-08-25T04:38:00.000-07:00

Night and day,
Sadness and happiness,
Joy and pain,
Laughter and sorrow,
Rain and sunshine,
Love and hate,
War and peace,
Opposites around us,
Opposites where ever we turn,
We go one way,
We get pulled another,
Walk this way,
Walk that way,
Told one thing,
But want another,
We get told to act one way,
But want to do another,
These opposites are around us,
These opposites are part of us,
We have to deal with the changes,
The changes in our life always,
We have to walk,
Walk in the middle sometimes,
Sometimes we take a stand,
Take a stand on one thing or another,
Life is never easy,
We all go through our struggles,
We all go through our strife’s,
We all have to make decisions,
To go with this,
Or to go with that,
We have to decide,
Will we stand on morals?
Or will we follow things around us?
Will we try with our might
To keep on?
To keep being strong?
Do we even have something to believe in?
Opposites,
Male and female,
Son and daughter,
Mother and father,
Grandfather and grandmother,
Things can work together,
Things can fall apart,
How do we handle,
What life gives us?
Can we have the strength?
To believe in our true conviction,
Or will we let the opposites,
Define us,
To be us,
To tell us?
What we should be,
Who we should be,
Or are we going to show,
That our convictions,
Our faith,
Our beliefs,
Are strong,
Because we know,
We believe,
In something bigger than us,
Believe in something more wondrous,
More beautiful,
Than we could ever imagine?
Will we take the opposites around us,
And hold on strong,
To our faith,
In Him?

There You Go Making My Heart Beat

2011-08-25T03:35:00.001-07:00

There you go making my heart beat again,
There you go playing that song,
There you go making me fall in love,
Falling deeper than I ever have,
Falling harder than I have ever seen,
Falling more and more,
Through those words you sing,
As you speak to my heart,
As you speak to my mind,
As you speak to my soul,
As you speak deeply,
As my mind listens,
Listens to those words,
Those words I have longed to hear,
Longed to hear so long,
So long since everything,
Since everything in my life,
I have been searching for,
Searching for someone,
Someone who would love me,
Love me and care for me,
Care for me and believe in me,
Believe in me and adore me,
Adore me and support me,
Support me through everything,
There you go making my heart beat again,
Beat through that song,
Beat through when all I thought was lost,
I never expected,
I never thought,
I never believed I could find,
I could find someone,
Someone like you,
Someone that could break through,
The hardest defenses,
Through the hurt,
The pain,
The strife,
The heartaches,
The breaks,
But then you came,
And you made my heart beat,
Beat louder,
Louder than ever before,
Stronger than ever before,
Made me feel safe,
Made me feel whole,
Made me feel at home,
Home like never before,
There you go making my heart beat,
Beat to the tune of yours,
And now my heart will join,
Join yours in harmony,
In joy,
In friendship,
In love,
In devotion,
Join you forever,
Join you my darling,
Because you make my heart beat,
Beat in tune with yours,
Beat in harmony,
Beat because of this joy,
This love,
This feeling,
This emotion,
This commitment forever more,
Beat because you,
You are my only one,
My only one I want to be with,
I want to be with always.

Watching The Fireflies Flicker

2011-08-25T02:38:00.000-07:00

Watching the fireflies flicker in the rain,
Watching you sit there by my side,
Watching the sky and the stars,
Watching the world around us,
And all I think about is,
You and me sitting here together,
Being with each other,
Being in love always,
Being just together,
Not caring about a thing in the world,
Just spending that time,
Together,
Watching the fireflies flicker in the rain,
Watching the light dance,
Across the plain,
Dancing,
As we sit there together,
Watching the rain fall,
Fall down to the ground,
We kiss,
We hold each other,
We smile,
We look,
Our eyes say the words,
Our hands hold together close,
As we embrace,
As we watch the fireflies flicker,
Flicker in the rain,
They dance together,
As we hold each other close,
Knowing there is peace,
There is love,
As we are together,
Nothing will be able to break this moment,
As we rest from the day,
Coming home to each other,
Finding solace from the world,
Being together,
Watching the fireflies flicker in the rain,
As the rain drops fall down,
Knowing through the hardships,
Through the trials,
Through the tests,
Through every part,
We will be get through it,
As we find the way together,
As long as we find that moment,
To embrace,
To hold,
To love,
To believe,
To trust in what we have,
And the fireflies flicker,
Through the rain,
Through the sunshine,
Through the moment,
To the next,
And they leave,
As they end the dance,
And we hold on,
Hold on to the end.

When You Are Not Paying Attention

2011-08-25T01:28:00.000-07:00

When you are not paying attention,
When your mind and heart,
Goes upon its own way,
And it finds that one person,
That you have been searching for,
When you are not paying attention,
You find dreams,
Laughter,
Hopes filled,
Music,
Smiles,
And skies of blue,
When you are not paying attention,
Love comes to you,
When you are feeling low,
When everything seems dark,
And your hope seems to want to fade,
Because heartache has been there,
Through moments that you cannot explain,
And all you can feel is brokenness,
Through every part of your mind,
Your heart,
Your soul,
When you are not paying attention,
And everything seems against you,
Hope,
Love,
Joy,
Will come shining through,
Pouring through the darkness,
Pouring through the grey,
Pouring through that heartache,
Come what may,
And when you are not paying attention,
Love will find a way,
Because it is strong,
Stronger than anything in the world,
Stronger than the heartache,
Stronger than the hurt,
That may stumble into your life,
When you need something beautiful,
Just wait!
It will be there,
Because when you are not paying attention,
When you feel in the darkness,
Love will come,
Love will shine through,
Love will come to you,
Because it is strong,
Stronger than hate,
Stronger than hurt,
Stronger than the pain,
Stronger than the rain,
Stronger than everything,
So remember this,
Remember these words,
When you are not paying attention,
Love will come,
And it will find you,
And it will build you,
To where you belong.

Life Is Constantly Changing

2011-08-24T04:34:00.000-07:00

Life is constantly changing,
Every moment to the next,
From one second to another,
A minute to the hour,
To the day,
And the power of hope,
The power of love,
The power of a brighter day,
Life is constantly changing,
No matter how we might take it,
Life is constantly changing,
Through good times,
And bad,
Through struggles and strife’s,
Through hope and dreams,
It is how we handle it,
That is what matters,
As life is constantly changing,
Relationships have their good times,
And their bad,
We build friends,
We lose friends,
We have arguments,
We have conversations,
We try to change our heart,
And we stick to the morals,
That means the world to us,
Life is constantly changing,
But we have to hold on,
We have to hold fast,
We have to keep believing,
That there is still beauty,
That there is still love,
That there are still great people,
That there is a reason for the strife,
That there is a reason for hope,
That there is a reason for all,
That we go through every day,
Life is constantly changing,
But as long as we believe,
As long as we have hope,
As long as we keep strong,
Keep resilient through everything,
We will be able to keep going,
As we put our hope,
Our strength,
Our joys,
Our hardships,
Our beauty,
Our happiness,
Our love,
In the future,
That we strive for.

If Money Were No Object

2011-08-24T03:40:00.000-07:00

If money were no object,
If things did not have to cost,
Things people would think be simple,
When really it is not,
Money does not have to be an object,
To have what is truly needed in life,
We all seek to find the answers,
To the life that is given to us,
To find joy in our life,
To fill the emptiness,
That we look to fill,
With many things in life,
But what we don’t realize,
That no money,
No material possession,
No pleasures,
Nothing in this world,
Even the things that can make us happy,
For a little while,
Will give us quite,
What no money,
No worldly possession can give us forever,
That is assurance,
That is peace,
That is finding a fulfillment of life,
Joy,
And things we could have never imagined,
For ourselves,
A path that we might not always understand,
That has been paved for us by Him,
All we need is His guidance,
Letting Him into our lives,
Into our hearts,
Into our daily life,
Even through the struggles,
It is to make us stronger,
To be more like His Son,
Who He sent,
To give us salvation,
To give us eternity,
To give us hope,
Belief,
Even through the hardships of the world,
And this is why money is no object,
What we obtain here is not the end,
No material possession,
Nothing is better than this,
As it gives us all a way for us,
To enjoy not only the life we have here,
But the life promised to us after our work,
On this world for Him is done,
And until that day,
We are given many joys,
To enjoy our lives,
That we put forth,
Through our trust in Him,
In Him guiding us,
Each and every day.
