Afflicted, but not chrushed

When the storms of life are raging,
When the winds so angry roar,
I show no sign of tired or changing
I am the tall, strong lighthouse on the shore.

I do not care how mighty is the storm,
The night will always go away,
Inside my soul is peace, and warm,
Tomorrow is another day.

I am a rock, and I will never give up
on standing there, unmoved by the crashing waves,
I’ll get the beating, hold the pains in my huge cup,
dreaming of all the future coral caves.

"I am afflicted, but not crushed,
perplex, but not driven to despair,
struck down, but not destroyed."
I have my doubts, I have my fear,
but by His Grace, I sing and give another cheer!

The Snowman

I'm molded from the fresh white snow,
I have two round eyes from dark coal,
All kids can see my special glow,
I am a snowman with a soul.

A white pom-pom ends my fancy hat,
and a red carrot is my long nose,
I do not eat, yet I am fat,
and when it snows, my belly grows.

Two stiff brooms are my outstretched hands,
Sometimes, proudly I wear a scarf,
I'm the symbol of winter lands,
I even might be the eighth dwarf.

I don't have a match in the world!
But I live only one season,
In the end, I'll be torn and swirled,
My life here is for a reason.

The World, a Wonderful Picture

I can see the beauty in the sunrise,
In the breeze, in the ocean’s whispers,
In the smile of a child, in his beautiful eyes,
In all the trees dancing along the rivers.

I can feel the love in every hug, in every kiss,
Your candid look, your gentle touch
fills my soul with joy and bliss.
I enjoy life, is this too much?

I can hear music, angel choirs,
Birds singing in the forests and mountains,
The sunset crying in seraphic fires,
Torrents of blessings from the old fountains.

I can taste the goodness of this wonderful world,
Full of faith and hope, I can see the bright future,
I refuse to be drawn to fear and to be hurled,
With colors of love, I paint the world, a wonderful picture.

It has to start with all of us

We want them all to see our Lord,
We want our land to be healed again,
But can we put down our sword?
Can we pour down love like rain?

We want the world to see our God,
To hear His Voice, to trust His Word,
We cry and cry from deeps untrod,
But into dark paths, we are hurled.

We know the plans He has for us,
But are we ready to begin?
There is no time left to discuss,
Why we still like to play with sin?

Give us the power, the first love,
Don’t let us be asleep, lukewarm,
Watch over us from high above,
And make us towers, in the storm.

In the shadow of Your wing

There's a place where safety resides,
Where I can hide from all my enemies,
There's a place where The Father gracefully provides,
Where I can hear Victor's melody.

There's a place where any scar is healed,
And all my tears are wiped away,
There's a place where my soul with peace is filled,
A place where I would always happily stay.

To that place, I often run,
I lay down my fears and woes,
I enjoy the rising sun,
And my new white as snow clothes.

In the shadow of Your wings,
The safest place I have known,
Beside the still waters and the cooling springs,
In the shadow of Your wings, never alone.

Blooming Love Tree

Our roots are deeply anchored
in the unmovable love's soil,
We grew together, and the blizzards of life could not destroy our embrace,
The sharp frost could not freeze our tears,
and the deep, rough, hateful cuts could not take away our smiles.

Whispers of love feed our branches and leaves,
and we drink daily from the sap of endless passion.
Sun breathes on our one-trunk,
warmth and light,
Under its caressing, we dance a silent old tango,
forgetting all the past seasons,
keeping only the good memories and dreaming of the new Spring.

We extend our branches as hands in prayers toward heaven,
We touch angels' wings each night and sing,
with the stars, a song of gratitude.
We bloom heart-shaped love red flowers because
our roots are deeply anchored in the unmovable love's soil.

I Love You, My Love

"A hundred hearts would be too few,
To carry all my love for you"
Oceans and seas are not enough.
To fill my love would be so tough!

My waves of love will never end,
I'll always follow the same trend,
Like teenagers, I'll carve your name
in every tree. My love for you I'll proclaim.

Each morning when I see your smile,
Is like the first day walking the aisle,
And when I look into your eyes,
I see the stars lighting the skies.

During the day, I hold your hand,
You are my Queen from a fairyland,
I walk with you, year after year,
And heaven starts for us right here.

I Let My Soul Sing

I was playing with some words,
In my native Romanian Language,
I heard singing golden birds,
I knew I'm at a disadvantage.

How to make my words a song?
How to make the verses fly?
How to make my statements strong?
How to make peoples cry?

How to put laughter in rhyme,
Or the rainbow in my paper?
How to put a stop to time?
How should I describe a vapor?

I closed my eyes and dreamt,
and I let my soul sing,
touched by the angel sent.
He got me under his wing.

O silent night, O holy night, O night divine!

A silent night. It was a long, long silent night.
The hopes and dreams were lost for many years.
The sin's chains kept the cages full.
The wings were broken, nobody could fly,
The prophecies were forgotten, with no freedom in the sight.

O silent night, O holy night,
The hope is shining over the lost world, again.
The stars, filled with wonder,
join the angels clothed in light,
and sing a majestic song together.
At the break of dawn, at the edge of the village,
a Savior is born and laid in a manger.

O silent night, O holy night,
The King of Kings, a humble birth
Goodwill to men and peace on Earth!

Knees of clay pray in silence,
We bring gifts to the newborn King,

Love Rooted in Infinity

We loved each other before the beginnings,
before the first snowdrops arrived,
before the apricot blossoms bloomed,
even before the earth started spinning,

before the existence of time,
before the angels learned to fly,
before the sun was shining in the sky.
We loved each other, what’s the crime?

We didn’t do anything wrong,
We let our souls be united,
We were together and delighted,
Our love was pure, sincere, and strong.

We didn’t rush to change the world,
We smelled the flowers from our hair,
The colors from our eyes we shared,
Around us, the eternal space unfurled.
