Eternity - Dedicated to those we have lost
The time we spent together here.
Went by so very fast.
The laughs we had, the tears we shared.
The memories that last.
If I could have but one more day.
There's so much more I'd share.
I'd show you how much I love you.
But life can be unfair.
I look forward to when we'll meet again.
In a place much better than here.
But until that time, I'll see your face.
In the reflection of my tears.
I thank God for His gift He gave.
I look forward to the day.
When you will meet me at the gate.
Though I wish that you could stay.

The Right Man for the Job
Let me give myself to you.
I wish to hang upon a cross.
Let my ways of old be gone.
And rejoice in all my loss.
It was you that died for the sins of all.
And it was sin that you became.
I feel it would be my honor Lord.
To share our savior’s name.
He was the greatest of men on earth.
For the suffering he bared.
For the honor of the one that loved so much.
His pain I vow to share.
My life, I give it all to you.
For one day I’ll see His face.
I will hug the one who saved us all.
With His mercy and His grace.
Til’ I met you Lord, I did not know.
A love that was so strong.
I was lost and looked for a place to fit.
Now I’ve found where I belonged.

Love Proven True
Innocence and guilt must be proven.
But what of love?
For the innocent and guilty are both accused.
But assumption prevails.
Until it is proven.
On a lonely hill,
With hundreds of lonely observers.
Was a man that proved love once and for all.
For all to see.
Showing the lonely, they were not alone.
Not until He had enough,
But until it was done.
His will.
Love's will.
If life is love, then love is life
If we take a life, we have committed murder.
The same with love.
For both are the spirit.
It is given to us to be given to another.
Our lives and our love.

The Grass Is Greener
The grass is greener so they say.
We venture to another lawn.
We still don't water and care for that grass.
That grass will be gone.
We focus on what we do not have.
Rather than what we do.
A crazy cycle of wanting more.
A jaded point of view.
Keeping up with the Joneses
A mad and thankless place.
Never stopping to smell the roses.
Running an endless race.
Life passes you by, then it's taken from you.
By a thief walking in the night.
Our wants they steal from all our needs.
Your life's a script you can't rewrite.

Savior
I thought about a problem.
Then I obsessed.
My mind went into overdrive.
And I got depressed.
It’s like it’s infected.
That part of my brain.
The lies, not reality.
That drove me insane.
I was born this way.
And most of us were.
I wondered about Jesus.
But never was sure.
Then one day I found Him.
From the bottom of my life.
He removed all my anger.
And removed all my strife.

The Four Faced Man
I should have acted like a King
With you being the Queen
Instead I was a dictator
I acted very mean
I should have been a warrior
Fighting for what was right
Instead I was a destroyer
Killing everything in site
I should have been a lover
I had your heart to hold
But my words they were so critical
My actions were so cold
I treated you like an enemy
When I should have been your friend
I only looked out for myself
When on me you did depend
I showed the wrong four faces
Your village I brought down
Now that I know, I understand
Why you don't want me around

Connected
My planet.
My temporary home.
Where I began.
Where I will end.
My human being.
It's core, battling my inner core.
For control of my mind.
Gravity, pulling my thoughts downward.
To limit my sight.
I go within.
To my core.
My energy is love.
It is written, that it will endure all.
Beyond the earth.
Beyond the universe.
I find myself, no longer torn,
But now complete.
My third eye opens in my mind.
Complete sight from what previously was unseen.
Opening the mind to the creator.

I Am Creator
Created in His image, I create,
Though He, I am not.
But He I can be by my choice.
I choose either His will or my own.
He sacrificed Himself for others.
He rose.
I sacrifice others for self.
Others rise.
He found peace through selflessness.
I found discontent through selfishness.
Am I the forgiver?
Or do I need forgiveness?
When I stand in the mirror,
Who do I reflect?
For he who stands before it,
Is the reflection of who he is.
One who would save others?
Or one who would save himself.
Those who save others are connected and will stand together.
Those who save themselves stand alone are divided and will fall.

One Wish
If we could start over.
Make what was old new.
I would try my hardest.
To make your dreams come true.
I'd be the man of your dreams.
I'd hold on to your heart.
If I had but one wish.
I'd wish for a fresh start.
To grow old with the one.
That my heart desires.
The love of my life.
The flame of my fire.
If you knew my love.
You'd have to agree.
She's the most beautiful girl.
You ever will see.

We Are Love
True love does not love us for what we do.
We are not our mistakes.
We are not our jobs.
True love loves us for who we are.
We are children,
We are mothers,
We are fathers,
We are grandparents,
We are friends,
We are family.
What we do does not define us.
What we become as a result does.
We learn of love from life.
A life that is always changing.
Never consistent,
But always persistent.
It was not life that created love.
It was love that created life.
To find love, we must seek the source.
The creator.
