The Dweller (my daughter)

you came into this world unexpectedly
how you would change my life, i did not foresee.
holding you in my arms, my heart began to melt
bringing out emotions which i never felt.

i looked into your eyes, and what i could see
'was your future staring back at me.'
i pictured your life every step of the way
and to GOD i did pray.
asking him to watch over you
and everything in life that you would do.

as you got older you was strong as a house
you was no longer that frightened little mouse.
you became the woman that you are today
and nothing in life will stand in your way.

and because of you, i have grown stronger.
i will not hold my feelings back any longer.
i speak my mind as i see life start to unfold

Mountain Of Hope

He had climbed the highest mountain this
World had ever known.
He had climbed the highest mountain
On maps it can’t be shown.
It was a mountain of tears, suffering and pain
And no ones life would ever be the same.

Then a second mountain was built
And it was higher than the first.
This mountain was built with the
strongest material known to man.
HOPE! In our hearts and our minds it will stand.

Each time hope is fed, there lies another bed.
And as each bed is filled
The mountain gets higher still.

But it was he who climbed the mountain
Of tears, suffering and pain.
And because of it he took away the shame.

Unwanted Children

when i looked into this childs eyes
i saw the hurt, the pain, and i began to cry.
it was a house of despair
the homeless and unwanted children
all lived there.

all their lives they searched for love
and a place to live
so much love they had to give.
all they wanted or needed
was a loving family.

is this too much to ask from you or me?

how can we go to bed, when they
have no place to rest their heads.
how can we expect these children to survive
when we turn our backs
and close our eyes.

I'm Going Home

Her soul departed from this earth
But she lived life for all its worth
There was not a person that she could not touch
With her kind and gentle ways.
Everyone wished that she had stayed.

Have you ever noticed how a butterfly
catches your eye- and its beauty while it flies?
How this butterfly spreads its wings
And it touches each and every thing.
How its gracefulness fills the air
And takes away your thoughts and cares.

Like the butterfly who had spread its wings
She has done such beautiful things.
She is a free spirit who can now roam this earth
To help others from their birth.

She will be that gentle breeze kissing your face
At different times and in a different place.

Love Or Hate

so many children in this world
so many little boys and girls
going without food or love
this is'nt what god expected of us.

children are a blessed gift from god
thats how you and i got our start.
take your time and look at a child
let their innocence love fill your heart

then find their innocence and beauty within
for we are all born with first man's sin.

they was taught this at an early start
they was taught that they was different
and better than others.
and no other race.
are your sisters and brothers

don't fill your heart with bitterness and hate,

Chistmas Is Upon Us

Christmas is upon us and the snows are starting to fall
We see Christmas decorations in every shop and mall
Helpers dressed like Santa s ringing their Christmas bells
Helping the families who aren't doing too well.

Decorated Christmas trees in every shop and mall
And choirs on the corners singing of the greatest gift of all.
The birth of our savior on this grand and glorious day
And how we give thanks to him in this special way.

Christmas is upon us and you can feel it in the air
As people greet each other with Good will and good cheer.

This is the time of year that people try to forget
all the bitterness, greed, and hate
And replace it with a lot of love and faith.

Christmas is upon us - just look around
At all the joyous faces that can be found
Smiles on most faces and very few hum bugs

OBL (osama bin laden) the hunt

the hunt for Osama is narrowing down
in Afghanistan he will be found.
he is running out of places in which to hide
on that my friend it is no lie.

he will be captured or killed you see
and will go down miserably.
he has no place in which to go
but time is moving very slow.

people like him can not survive
for he is running out of time
just like Hussein in Iraq
who was sold out when he turned his back.

he will meet his fate like in waterloo
that is what he has to look forward to.
they say a million dollar bounty was put on his head
and that is something he does dread.

My Heart Beats For You

I felt the love so deep in my heart
Like a knife tearing me apart
I felt your breath in every
Pulsating blood vessel flowing
Through my veins, and I knew
That my life would never be the same.

I felt my heart wanting to break
Every time I’d look at your face.
Your eyes would take me on a long journey
To places I’ve never been before
Like in a whirlpool going round and round
And my self going further down.

You are every breath of my life
Every desire in my soul
And you are the one I want to hold.

My heart has become an open book
Pick it up and take a look.

The House Of The Lord

this is the house of the lord
where people come to pray
the house of the lord
where your problems are washed away

so i enter the doors, and there in plain sight
is my lord jesus
then i know everything is alright.
he makes me choke up with emotions
that i never felt before.
yet i know deep in my heart
it will be there forever more.

he comes into our hearts and makes the gloom disappear
and takes away our worries, and all our foolish fears.
so i give myself to him with every ounce
of strenght, knowing that when i walk out
i'll see a better day, and the joy will
fullfill me in a much better way.

Universal Love

How do you describe marriage?
It’s hard to define! And even harder
To put it into verse and rhyme.

So many descriptions and explanations
Which make it hard to choose
I guess I have to put myself into a mood.

Marriage is the joining of two hearts into one
Like when the moon meets the sun.
One welcomes the other into their heart and soul
A beauty such as this is hard to behold.

If I could one day shoot across the sky
You would be by my side.
I’d climb upon that shooting star
And our love would travel far.

People would look up to the sky
And be able to see you and I.
