A Mother's Love
Lillie Williams Sep 2016
When you were growing inside of me
I felt proud to carry a life
I done everything just right
And prayed every night
I prayed that you would be strong
Healthy, cute and brave
I ask God to strengthen you child
For this is how I prayed

When you were sick I watched
Over you day and night
Never for one second were
You ever out of my sight
I rubbed your tiny head and  
Wiped your runny nose
Covered you carefully
To keep you from the cold

I kept you from things I thought
Would hurt you in this world
When you have kids of your own
You will understand a mother’s love
I wanted only the best for you
And you know I still do
I see a lot of me everyday
That’s now created in you

I’ll put you through school
To have a good occupation
Granting it through a great education
There is nothing I wouldn’t give
To see you happy in life
A real good job, a prayer life with God
Not to give up but stand and fight

All these things and more I would give
To you in this wonderful world
But right now child, just accept a mother’s love

One Wish
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
If I had one wish given
To me in this world
I would wish for peace
Prosperity and love
I would wish for good health
Joy peace and wealth
I would spread forgiveness
In spite of myself

One wish granted with
Everything combined
Sunshine, freedom, strength
With red cherries and wines

Since there’s only one wish
I’ll keep you in mind
And grant you your wish
Another day and another time

What I want for Christmas
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
What I want for Christmas
Is not material things
I don’t want a watch
Or a diamond ring
I don’t want a potato pie
Or a fruit cake
What I want for Christmas;
The chef can’t bake

I want to fill this void that
Gives me restless nights
I’m missing something;
I know I need in life
I want something that
Burns in my soul
Something that even I
Can’t control

What I want for Christmas
I dream of every night
What I want for Christmas;
Is Jesus in my life!
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
Sorry I missed your Graduation
I really wanted to be there
I wanted you to see my face
And know how much I care
Instead I’ll send lots of hugs
Blessings from our father above
Happy graduation with all my love

You were never There
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
At night I sat and wonder
Just how some things can be?
And I try to understand
Everything I see.
Each night my pillow
Is wet with lonely tears,
And I say to myself, do
He understand what I feel?

When I struggle through life,
I could never feel
That you care.
The days that I hurt inside
You were never there.
I push my way
Through heart ache,
Sadness, and pain,
When I needed you the most;
You left me standing
In the rain.

Cold and lonely nights
I snuggle in bed
While visions of you
Flash through my head.
Did you see it in my eyes,
And did you even care?
When I needed you
The most, you
Were never there.

I gave you a family
I made the perfect wife,
I prayed hard for you
  Each and every night.
  I struggle with this pain,
In my own selfish way
And I dreamed every night
That you would
Somehow stay;

Now the time has come
That I have to let go,
It’s killing me inside,
More than you will ever know.
When I look at your picture
I can’t help but stare
The answer is plain and clear;
You were never there.

The Preacher
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
The preacher is placed here
To feed God’s sheep
To give them God commandments
To always keep
To pray for the sick
And spread God’s love
Carrying this message
To the ends of the world

The preacher is God’s counsel
Listening to our problems
Seeking God for answers
On how he can solve them
The preacher has to speak
The word, in and out of season
He can’t stop the message
For any other reason

I will require the blood at your
Hand said the Lord;
If you don’t feed my people
And establish righteousness
In their heart

A preacher work
Simply has no end
As long as the world exists
There will always be sin

The Bible
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
The Bible is more important
Then you think it is
The Bible is a work of art
And does what it will
There’s so much to learn
If you only read the word
You’re find something out
You have never heard

You will find adventure
Romance and a lot more
The Bible will lead you to
Places you never been before
There are comforting words
When you feel this is the end
If you are feeling lonely
I’m sure you’re find a friend

Sometimes we feel that
There’s sorrow in this life
Darkness everywhere
We can hardly see the light
Sometimes we pick it up
And put it back on the shelf
Knowing all the time that
The word is your help

Stop ignoring the word
And act like we care
When we do decide to
Read the Bible; it just
Might not be there

Jesus is the Answer
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
To win this race I
Need strength and power
I need the hand of Jesus
Every minute in the hour
I need his loving touch
To start me on my way
I am thankful for his son
As I honor him today
  
Holiness he desire to
Live it in my life
To always remember, to
Do that which is right
To fight to win this race
As I travel through this land
To speak of his goodness
To every woman and man
  
Never forget to bow down
Humble yourself to pray
Jesus is the answer
He’s the only way
He is my savior
My joy, my friend
He holds the future
The beginning and the end
He is your peace
In time of sorrow
He holds today
He is tomorrow
  
Jesus is the answer
He’s yours, he’s mine
He will not delay
You can reach him
Any Time
The life that we live
Take it day by day
Jesus is the answer
He’s the only way

Creeping In The Night
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
Silence of the night, bring so much fear
He stole; he took, from me what is dear
That creaking old board that’s loose in the hall
The monster that tried to hinder my call
Mama; help me, this isn’t right
Your man in my room creeping in the night
Don’t you care that your baby is being *****
Don’t you care how her world is being shaped?

How can you lay there mama and hear my screams
How can you let this monster in my dreams?
How can your heart say you love me so much
But yet you let this monster fill me with hurt
I’m your little girl; you should keep me in your sight
But you let your monster creep in my room at night

The smell of his breath, and deceit in his mind
You let this monster **** me time after time
I’m afraid mama, can’t you see I’m scared
Please keep this monster out of my bed
I hear you crying in the room next door
How long will you lay there, how much more?

Why let him ruin your little girl’s life
Why let him creep in my bed at night
Every time he touch me I call out your name
You stand outside my door crying won’t do a thang
I cry all the time because I’m filled with fright
Cause your man won’t stop creeping in my room at night

All that's left
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
I cannot forget you not today or ever
I can’t let go of what held us together
A soft gentle touch on the side of my face
Your hot burning kisses that last for days
A candle light dinner, underneath the stars
Soft gentle hands, oil, and a massage
Trying to let go within myself
But memories of you is all that’s left

Bodies melting together on summer’s night
Burning desires taking me to new heights
Flowers and pictures hanging on the wall
Pride always comes before a great fall
Never not ever got over your death
Memories in my heart is all that’s left

Your face rotating in my mind on repeat
To many nights without enough sleep
Holding on to something I’ll never get back
Your shirts and ties on the table in a stack
Seeing your shadow passing in the night
Quickly floating out of my sight

Wondering about some of the things you said
Hurting, remembering you while crying in bed
When I thought I couldn’t do anything right
Your comfort made everything shine so bright
I will not give you up, no one should dare try
To make me forget or even say goodbye
Everything you were I’ll keep to myself
And realize that of you
Memories is all I have left

Pain
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Pain is an army that fights
Without Honor
It travels in packs attacking
Your heart by the numbers
It will not pull punches
It let them all fall
It stands out, stick out
Like a tower, it’s tall
It’s to blame for most tears
And what we call our fears

Pain is strong, fearless, and holds
Strong like a leech
Very few break free and win in defeat
Never fight with pain, a fight you won’t win
You struggle all your life and
Pain prevails in the end

My Book Is Open
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Facing reality to night and I
Don’t like what I see
A man setting on a big throne
With his eyes pointed at me.
So many people standing around with
Their heads hanging low
I’m afraid what the Lord may say
So in my heart I must go
I tried to hide behind the crowd
Didn’t want to know my fate
The lord cried “come back!”
For you my child it’s too late

I starred at the other people faces
And we all had the same look
There’s no hope for us when
God judge us from his book
Liars, backbiters, fornicators, and all
Slipping in the darkness, led to your fall
My book is open so said the Lord
Why didn’t you stop and examine your heart
You can’t be with me, I forbid all sin
I warn you daily before your end

My book will judge your every secret fault
Everything you took, everything you bought
Beyond this door lies another door
Once entered, your time is no more
Every secret thing you thought you hid
Every no good thing you ever did
My book is open to send you in a mist
Where you will never ever exist
You hated your neighbor, lied to your friend
Took church tithes, and didn’t amend
You took from the poor and didn’t care
You ignored me every time I were there

You slept at night with lust on your mind
I tried to correct you time after time
My book is open to judge you and I will
Your time is up, your faith now sealed
My word will warn your family and friend
If they fail to listen; my book will open again.

The End Time
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I now believe that we are truly
Living in the end time
Killing, stealing, hatred, lying
So much hatred and crime
Peace use to be plentiful
Hanging on every vine
War has risen from way beyond
A frightening and terrible sign
Love is out battle and somehow
Fail to stick around
Hatred took its place and
Now the world is bound.

Thick clouds of sin formed
From every parts of the earth
Bringing forth pain and our
Generation it’s trying to curse
Losing so many young people
Both day and night
It’s hard to point out the wrong
And keep up with the right                                                                          

Hidden things in government policies
Seems like the world is headed for a fall
No one is in agreement, arguing, pointing fingers
And truly this is not all
Fathers missing their daughters and
Mothers crying for their sons
They say money is short, but
Yet they got it to burn
There is never nothing new always
The same old lines
Now we ask the question
Are we living in the end time?

So many churches out there but
Yet there is only one God
No one wants to communicate so
The churches are distance apart
Through all the trouble I know
An answer must lies ahead
Are we really on top of things
Or are we blind and falsely misled
Through the word of god and                                                                      
His everlasting power
There is an inward peace through
The passing of the hour

Though some may possess a lot
Of wisdom and some a lot of wealth
I try to put God first and
Forget about myself
When it all comes down to
Where we place our trust
Giving it over to the Lord
For me is always a plus
When I look all around
My eyes behold all the signs
Knowing that Jesus is soon to return
Because we are living in the End Time!

See, I don't get it!
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Take a second, take a pause
Sat back and ask yourself
What’s the big deal with Santa Clause?
So he supposed to be this super hero
That brings good cheer and joy
But I know someone that does it better
It’s Jesus! Mary’s baby boy


So I told Santa My bills was due
And I was a little low on cash
He told me his magic
Only works once a year
Light some candles
And hope it lasts
You see, I gave
Jesus the same situation
And he told me to fret not
Just pray and leave it
In my father’s hand
He will never and has not forgot


I told Santa my family
Was hungry and
We could really use a meal
Santa response was:
I know not to expect milk
And cookies from you,
Really; what’s the big deal?
I turned it over to Jesus
And I loved his response
He said; my child;
Nothing is impossible for me
I fed a multitude with
2 fish and 5 loaves of bread

So now I am looking at Santa
And it is all becoming clear?
That Santa cares not for me, but
To be famous once
Throughout the year
But Jesus, that man alone,
And his father
Stuck by me the whole 365 days
So why not devote to him
My time and my life
So this year I probably
Won’t see Santa
And receive a balloon
Boat or ball
But who cares?
Jesus supplies my every needs and
He’s my all and all.

My kids left me here
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Looking out the window while
Tears run down my face
Seems like years have passed
Many, Many days
I stare at the photo on
The dresser by my bed
Empty on the inside
Feeling like I’m dead

I know I am old, and
Feeling sorry for myself
There is pain in loneliness
And sorrow in death
This is not my home I
Don’t belong in this place
My kids left me here
Because of my age

They say I get in the way and
The burden of me goes deep
When I drop things
I never pick it up
And their kids can never sleep
I scrub floors, worked my
Fingers to the bone
Trying to put them through school
And give them a decent home

A lady came to visit one day
I still know not her name
She said: where is your family
Is the reason still the same?
Seem like you haven’t had a visitor
In a long, long time
Things look worse to you
But believe me, it’s fine

My kids left me here, ten years ago
Why they left me here
I really want to know
I did my best to raise them well
Where they are now, only
God can tell
I got a letter from my daughter
Almost five years this day
She ramble on about her happiness
But nothing else to say

Why did they leave me
In this place call home
For ten years now I
Have been left alone
How can you put away someone
You say that you love
How can you leave them
Unhappy in this world

Will I see my kids again
Before it’s too late
Will I be able to picture their face
Before I walk through Heaven Gates
I will always hold them close
In my heart so dear
The only thing I know: is
That my kids left me here
Jul 2016 · 273
You Made It
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
You made it my child, my faithful son
Your work for me is well done
You gave to the poor
No matter what the need be;
And when they needed a comforting
Word; you always spoke of me

You shared me with your
Family and friends
You spoke of salvation unto the end
You shall live your life happy and free
Because of the honor you gave to me
You served me well,
You gave it your best
Today in paradise you are
My honored guest

You made it through sickness
Heartaches and pain
You spoke not a word when
They spotted your name
Hardship and trials, you went
Through them all,
You didn’t hesitate to my glorious call

You made it home, this is
The last round
Through all your goodness
You have earned your crown!

My Dad
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I love my dad
He’s the best in the world
He bounces me on his knee
Cause I’m his little girl
He holds my hand
When we cross the street
He teach me to say no
To the strangers I meet

My dad is very unique
He’s more than grand
When I need help
My dad is the man
I will not trade him
For nothing in this world
He’s my dad, and
I’m his little girl

Take the time
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
The most important day in
My life you fail to come through
You decided to let me fall.
The time I needed you most
You hit ignore and didn’t
Answer my call
.I sat there in that corner,
And cried tears of pain.
As all the trouble and hurt
I held on to started to
Drive me insane.
  
And I waited as long as I could
To hear someone say
"Hold on, wait I'll be there"
But no one showed and
It hurt more to see no one care.
You were so *******
In your selfish acts
Or too tired you proclaimed
To leave your bed
  
And I was all alone
As thoughts raced
Through my head
And before me laid
Many options: pills, rope,
A gun, a knife.
Trying to find the quickest
Way to end this pain
I called life
  
So now it’s over
It’s done, and
Everyone asks why?
But she seemed so happy
I never seen her cry
But I did, you just
Never took the time to see
Time to realize the obvious
You over looked in me
  
So if anyone out there
Can hear me
Will you truly listen
Will you remember
Take the time so this
Doesn't happen again?
Will you remember to at
Least call or text or stop
By or just drop in
Take a moment to check
On your family and friends
Don’t just say you're thankful
For people in your life
But can’t recall the
Last time you came in contact
A life is something easily taken
That you can’t give back.

How do I stop the pain?
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Life must go on no
Matter what Is real
There must be an answer
To the way that I feel
How do I stop the pain,
That burn deep in my soul
How can I be complete,
How can I be whole ?

No one ever told me that
Love could make me sad
And I did not know that
It could hurt so bad.
When I see him with someone
Else tears began to flow
Does he see how bad I hurt,
Is it possible for him to know?

It should be me that
He kisses every night
Am I wrong to feel this way,
Or could I be right?
I feel like I am stranded
Outside in the rain
How can I get over him,
How do I stop the pain?
So many sleepless nights,
And I hate getting out of bed,
I will always be with you;
That’s what he said.

Pain makes you feel like
You are already dead,
It makes you feel like
Rocks in your head
Can it be this serious,
Or is it just a game
Will I ever know;
How do I stop the pain?
Jul 2016 · 227
This time of year
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
This time of year I
Often think of friends;
Broken hearts and
Relationships to mend
Eating and talking
Setting around the table
Telling Christmas stories
Of a baby in the stable

Green pine trees with
Red, green, and blue lights
With present there to open
That every one might like
Bitter cold wind
Blowing from the south
Turkey and ham to
Fill everybody’s mouth

Christmas decoration hanging
Tightly on the wall
Dad playing Santa clause
But that’s not all
Setting on the table
Is cookies and milk
Mom got a night gown
Made of pure silk

A star in the sky
Shinning so bright
Eggnog and cinnamon:
And a merry good night

God Reached Out
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I was walking down the
Street one day
When I felt it in my heart
This feeling deep in my soul
I knew it must be God
A new path had come to life
And set before my eyes
Tears ran down my face
Because of how I felt inside

I could see my old life
But it was in the past
I felt something in my spirit
I didn't know I had
God was reaching out to me
Because I am his child
When I thought on his goodness
I couldn’t help but smile

I finally found something
That changed my whole life
My worrying days are over
Now everything seems right
God reached out to me
Saying child take my hand
All the things you
Wanted to know
You now understand

I learned a lesson, that
Changes are made
The price for my soul
Jesus died and paid
I am no longer the
Person I use to be
Thank God almighty
I'm finally set free

God's Love
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
The world was in chaos
Dripping down in sin
I must destroy this world
This world must end
Prepare me a body
I will redeem man
I will take his sins upon me
And help him understand

This is my only son
I send down to the world
To redeem man of his sin
And show him how to love
I will supply riches
According to man need
This is my beloved son
In whom I am well pleased

I am God, I am love
I created man
And my son will
Redeem the world
To die is to gain
And the victory is sought
My son came into this world
And his own received him not

I gave all that I had
Because I love man
I created this world, and
I brought forth this land
I am God, I am love
I am the greatest
Throughout this world

By my stripes, you are heal
Through the blood of my son
This world shall live
I gave to you my only son
And now on earth
His work is done.

What Happen to the Joy?
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I remember when the world
Was filled with love
Laughter, kindness, friendship
And amazing hugs
We use to help and show
Affections toward our brother
Now we fight, and
Bad mouth one another

There was a time when
We care what went on
And parents wouldn't leave
Their children alone
Preachers was concern when
A Christian fell down
Help would always come
From miles around

What happen to the joy that
Use to be in this world
What happen to the laughter
The kindness and the love
Why are we killing, and
Destroying precious life
What makes us argue, and
What makes us fight

We use to borrow a cup
Of sugar from our neighbor
Join hand in prayer
Setting at the breakfast table
We would help each other
As far as we were able
With a kind heart we would
Always return the favor

Envy, jealously, hatred, and lust
Has penetrated our heart
Relationship, friendship, and
Marriages torn apart
What happen to the joy
That made us what we are
We once spoke of peace
But now what we see is war

What happen to the times when
Your child could play with mine
And go to school in peace without
Someone committing a crime
What happen to the safety
We once felt in this world
And where is the peace, and
What happen to the love

What happen to the smiles we
Once wore upon our face
What happen to the moments
What happen to the days
What happen to the way
Times use to be,
When we felt excited, happy
And free??????????

Laughter
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Laughter is good medicine
That somehow heals I’m told
It lifts, it mends, broken
And torn souls
Laughter is the beauty
That comes from within
It has no measures
It has no end

Laughter lifts the mind from
Things that weigh you down
It conquers any situation
To bring you back around
So laugh in the morning
Night, noon, and day
Let laughter mend your soul
Let laughter have its way

Worst Fears
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
My children came into my
Room one winter afternoon
My daughter softly said
Mama we tried to tell you this
Sometime in the middle of June
We have all decided that we
Have our own life to live
Somewhere down the line
Something had to give

We have decided to take
You to a home and we
Hope you like it there
Nurses around the clock and
People that really care
I can’t began to tell you
What I felt in my heart
Everything I lived for now
Suddenly torn apart

I saw no regret as I
Looked in their face                                                                          
My son said mama learn to like it
Because here you will spend
The rest of your days
They picked me up and tossed
Me around like a rag doll
I could feel the heat inside as
My blood began to boil

Two months in that home
My worst fears came to pass
Orderly slapping me around
While others stood back and laugh
They rolled up a newspaper
And hit me on the head
When I needed to use the bed pan
They laughed and said use your bed
I had no strength in my legs
To carry me to the bathroom
Because of that I laid in
My own waste all afternoon

A young girl came to my room
Carrying my dinner tray                                                                      
She took her gin pouring
It in my tea, and said
Drink and eat hearty today
Where are my children
Must this continue be
What did I do so wrong
For this to happen to me?
I heard about the treatment the
Elderly endure while living in
This place they call home
But I always knew that in my
Heart here I didn't belong

My worst fears in
My whole entire life
Has finally come to pass
I have no more strength
Don’t know how long I will last
There’s nothing I want more
Than to be release from this torment
When I asked my kids to get me out
It turned into an argument
My children said they couldn't
Care for me they rather be alone                                                                  
And that I should try to get
Use to my brand new home

They have children and what
Goes around will come around
As they will plainly see
And they will someday regret
What they didn't have to do to me
I am going to see my Lord
He won’t let this go on
Soon I will be from earth bound
Settling in my Heavenly home
When I see Jesus it will be
Worth the suffering and the pain
My worst fears will have died
And eternal happiness I will gain

Skeleton in my closet
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I had many sleepless nights
And walked a painful path
Sorrow, heartache and pain
I remembered from my past
I've done many things
I know wasn't right
And the skeletons in my closet
Came back to hunt my life
  
In my strongest hour, I
Found myself to be weak
And I shared all night passion
With strangers in the street
I thought they would love me
When I gave them my all
I didn't resist temptation, I
Answered many calls
  
I somehow fell in love
And met a wonderful man
If he found out about the
Skeleton in my closet
He wouldn't understand
My past is now the present
That has surface to the light
The place that kept my secrets
Is now what hunts my life
  
I bear the truth in my heart
Silent as a Lamb
When he finds out
The truth, will he
Know the type of
Woman that I am
  
The skeletons in my closet
I kept them locked away
To ashamed to speak of them
Until this very day
If I tell him the truth
His love I will lose
I feel like I am trapped
I feel like a fool
  
If I had the power to go
Back and change my life
I would have no pain
And no more sleepless nights
I would have no secrets
For no one to understand
Only joy and peace, somewhere
Happy with my man!

Lord why would you want me?
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Lord I have sinned, and done many things wrong
I lay before you as dirt, on the floor of my home
I spoke bad words, and lied every now and then
I been down for so long, I feel this is the end.
I never been to jail, but yet I am not free
Tell me Lord, why would you want me?
  
Lord I feel that I am not worthy to be call your child
I get so mean sometimes, it hurt me to smile
While you are looking down Lord, tell me what you see,
And why would you want an old sinner like me?
  
The Lord replied;
  
I made you in my own image,
I made you to be a man
I made you to rule over beast,
and throughout the land.
I sent my son Jesus down to die on the cross
To save an old sinner like you that was lost.
Come to me, and let me give you rest
Let me clean those filthy rags, and
Make you at your best
I don’t care who you are, or what you now see
By the blood of Jesus, you are now set free.
When I look down I see an Angel to be
And you ask; Lord why do you want me?
  
I am your father, and you are my child
Let me help you, and give you a new smile.
There is eternal life, and everlasting peace
In heaven you rejoice, are happy and free.
My child you are strong, and no longer weak,
You now have the answer you so faithfully seek.

Psychic Line
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Some people have left God
And reaching for the Psychic line
Only two ninety nine a minute
And false information you are buying.
Will I get married and be happy as can be?
Why call the Psychic line, Jesus gives
The information free.
  
You refuse to fast and pray
It takes up too much time
So you pick up the telephone
And call the psychic line
I lost my wife, is my husband coming back?
I need to call the psychic line to get
The basic facts.
  
What you do not understand is
What you fail to see
The answer lives in Jesus who
Died on Calvary
Never be quick to believe, what’s on TV
And never forget the man
That died to set you free

The answer is not in the psychic line
So erase it from your head.
The answer lives in a man that
God raised from the dead
If you believe I speak the truth, then
Get your business straight
And divorce the psychic line before
It’s too late.

Tribute to my Mother
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Nothing can compare to
The great loss that I feel
Nothing can compare
To the love I had to give.
I often think about the precious
Smile on mother’s face
And the motherly and daughterly
Talk, that went on for days.

She knew how much I love her,
I could tell it in her voice,
I could tell how much she loved me;
I could feel it in my heart.
Sometimes when I felt lonely
Or even burden down
All I had to do is think about her,
And she would be around.

Mother would take her gentle finger,
And wipe the tears from my eyes
The heavy burden was lifted,
And I felt better inside.
My dear sweet mother; even
Though you are gone
I feel that you are free
But your kindness and
Courage will live on in me.

All the things you taught me,
Are kept silently in my mind
And it will keep me stronger
Each and every time
Saying good-bye is something
That has to be done
Losing a mother is never easy,
This I have learned.

If you are looking down from
Heaven and hear the words I say;
Peace is still:
My mother has gone away.
No matter what words be spoken,
On tomorrow or today
My heart is broken,
But I’ll love you anyway.

I'm calling all Backsliders
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
When you came to me
The Angels did shout
I put a block on the enemy,
And to hurt you I wouldn't allow
I took you under my arms to
Shield and protect you from harm
And all the comfort you needed,
You could find it in my arms
I wiped away your tears all
The nights you sat and cried
I gently took my finger and
Dried your weeping eyes.

I listen to all your problems and
Had compassion in my heart
And now you turn your back
To me, pulling me apart.
I’m calling all backsliders
To come back home
I don’t care what you did;
I forgive you for your wrong

I’m calling all backsliders
To come back and live
All my riches and
Love I have to give
I watched over you,
And refuse to let you go
My spirit followed you,
And this you failed to know.
I’ll be your shelter and
Never leave you alone,
I’m calling all backsliders to
Turn around and come back home.

Spelling of Church
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
C is for Christ, the main man in my life
H is for helping his children create a start
U is for understanding the wrong from the right
R is for reading my Bible day and night
C is for courage and strength on the double
H is for God’s hand that keeps me out of trouble

I love Jesus
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I love Jesus do you love him too,
Do you put him first in everything
You do?
If he knock at your door would you
let him in,
or would you turn your back on him
stand in a corner and grin?
Think of all the wonderful things that
you can have with the Lord,
And before you leave Church today make
room for him in your heart.
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I am sorry that I missed
Your anniversary, and
I’m sorry I wasn’t there
I offer this card with love
To show you that I care

I know this card is late
And somehow over due
But this doesn’t stop me
From wishing happy
Anniversary to you
Jul 2016 · 174
Thank You
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I thank you for lifting me up
And always being there
I want to give my appreciation
To show how much I care

I want to show you how
Much you mean to me;
For this is how friends
Should and ought to be

Great Loss
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
You have a great loss that
Seems to bring you down
I am sorry it hurt so much
And I couldn’t be around
I know that he loved you
No matter what the cost
It’s been a long ride
And I am sorry for your loss

He took a great part with him
The morning he slipped away
Joy will return to your life
This I always pray
When you fall asleep at night
His visions fill your head
And tears flow silently
As you lay there in your bed

It’s a sad time for you as
You think on this great loss
Remember Jesus feels your pain
The day he paid the cost
I know you feel empty
Like there is no tomorrow
I will help you bear your pain
And help you share your sorrow

Tomorrow is a new day
It shines bright as the stars above
Remember the joy he gave you
And never forget his love
Jesus love will always cover you
Like a winter’s frost
Take care my dear friend
And I'm sorry for your loss

God the perfect man
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
When I need a shoulder to cry on
God is the perfect man
He knows how to comfort me
He truly understands.
When I reach the end of the road
And the valley I cannot see
God gives me clear sight;
He always walks with me.

He points me in the direction
That I should and ought to be
He lifts my spirits when I'm down,
He always encourage me
Sometimes life takes us down a
Road that we can’t understand
God is there to guide us
He is the perfect man.

God gives strength to the weak,
And a light to find your path
God is the perfect man
He always understands.
He rocks me to sleep at night
When I had a bad day
God is the perfect man
What else can I say?

He heal the sick
And raise the dead
He always did just what he said.
There is none other like
Him; he rules this land
You will never find another;
Because; God is the perfect man!

I think I'm inlove
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Butterflies in my stomach
Joy in my eyes
This crazy feeling in my heart
Burning me inside
No appetite to eat
Trembling in my hands
A joyful sensation even
I don’t understand

My heart beat fast when
He walks through the door
My eyes tends to light up
Brighter than before
Just the mention of his name
Takes me higher than drugs
I can’t explain this feeling
But I think I’m in love

Day dreaming of him
All the day long
Setting in my easy chair
Talking on the phone
Looking out the window
While setting in my room
Wasting all my money
On expensive perfume

Driving around in my car
Hoping to see his face
Just the sight of him
Gives me energy for days
The more I fight to
Let this feeling go
I find myself sinking
Much deeper than before
I’m wrapped around his fingers
And trapped in his world
This feeling is telling me;
I think I’m in love!!!!

Prayer
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Prayer is the key to
Getting the job done
Through our prayers
Miracles are formed
When you pray
Always be prepared
Things will happen
Through spiritual prayers

Things will come upon us
And we know that they will
Tell God all about it
Just tell him how you feel
Meditate in your mind
And be persistence in prayer
God is only a call away
He is always there

Even though the eyes
Cannot see God;
He’s in the morning air
Whenever you need him
You can reach him
Through prayer

Pray for your family
Pray for your friends
Pray to be establish
Until the very end
Prayer is an honorable way
To stay in touch with God
Through this line of faith
God will answer from the heart

Prayer is a powerful weapon
Nothing else can match
It brings down the highest mountain
Now what you think of that?
Be careful what you ask
Be careful what you say
Because all things are possible
When you bend your knees
And PRAY.
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Congratulation with my
Blessing and my love
Who have achieved and accomplish
The first part of your world
You made it through the first grade,
The third, and now twelfth
Congratulation: I know
You are proud of yourself

God made an angel, and
You are special in this world
With parents pushing you
Along with prayers and love
You mastered the best in your field,
Knowing that you can learn it
Congratulations child
Hallelujah! You’ve done it!!

That's what friends are for
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I let you rest on my shoulder
All the nights you cried
I spent many hours wiping
Tears from your eyes
I couldn't stand to see you
Hurt so bad inside
But you are only human
She never realize

Now you feel like your
Whole life has fail
And if you’re going the
Right direction
Your heart can never tell
My friendship comes free
It’s clearly not for sale
I am your pillow of strength
I promise to do my best
Try me, believe in me
Put me through the test

Lay your head in my lap
We both can concur
I’m trying to be your comfort
But it’s her that you prefer
I’m crying and hurting with you
This is what friends are for
Sure she broke your heart
And left you standing alone
It’s tearing you apart because
You realize that she’s gone

I’ll stay close, as long as
Your heart wants me to
I can feel your hurt, and all the
Things she put you through
Let me help you;
And face whatever
Problem might occur
After all my love;
That’s what friends are for

Mother Nature
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
They say that Mother Nature
Is to blame for the rain
The hail, the wind, the sleet
And the snow
She terrorize the neighborhood
Much worse than before

They say she visit the ocean
And bring a rapid rage
I wish I knew Mother Nature
But I never seen her face
Why is she so silent and
Distance from our sight
Why is she like a spirited shadow
Somewhere lurking in the night

Mother Nature gets the praise
For starting and stopping the rain
I never been introduce to her
So why do she gets the blame
I am trying to determine in my mind
Who Mother Nature really is
I am trying to determine in life
Is she fictional, or is she real

I have heard of Mother Nature
From my childhood back to birth
Why Mother Nature gets the credit
Remains to be researched
I read about what Jesus said
In the Holy Book
I didn't see Mother Nature
I must need a second look
I turned from page to page and
I couldn't find her in that book

I found that God put together
This whole world from birth
The rain, the sleet, hail, and snow
God decides when it falls to earth
I still wonder how Mother Nature looks
I wish someone would show me where
To find her in the book

I found that Mother Nature
Always get the praise
She has been popular in this world
For many months, weeks, and days
When I turn to the weather
Broadcast playing on TV
It always never ceases to amaze me
That Mother Nature is the topic
And she never fails you see

How does Mother Nature hides
Herself from the public eye
Is she non-fiction or a fictional lie?
All I want to know is whether
Or not the woman exist
When questions are asked about her
Why they are easily dismissed

I know Jesus because he
Lives on the inside
I acknowledge him
In all my ways
So he can be my guide
I know not Mother Nature
And discovering who she is
Has become an issue
I only want to see the woman
So does anybody have a picture?

When I got Married
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
When you are young
And deep in love
It doesn't really matters
What goes on in the world
You feel like you’re lifted
High and wise
There’s this tingling feeling
That tickles inside

This is what took place
When I met my first love
I felt like I could fly
And soar high above
I thought this was the man
I would share my whole life
And I thought in my heart
That I finally met Mr. Right

He treated me good the
Times we spent together
We were like glue                                                                                    
Stuck to a letter
Six months after we married
Things began to change
He got so angry if
I mention his name

When I tried to hug him
And show him that I care
He would ****** away and
Act like I wasn't there
When I got married we
Had so much fun
I was left wondering what
Happen to the bond

I found myself holding
His picture, crying and starring
Thinking if he didn't want me
Why did we get married?
Many tears I cried
Holding my pillow tight
Being misled into thinking
I met Mr. Right                                                                                              

I decided to visit my mother
Thinking I could clear my head
I returned home unexpected
To find another woman in my bed
It was stuffy that night
In the mist of the summer
Blind, stupid and ignorant to
Think I were the only woman

All the joy I ever felt even
When we first met
Left my soul, made me cold
And I’m not over it yet
When I first got married it
Turned out to be a joke
A silly little girl, easy prey
Has now lost all her hope

Even though I feel that the
Hurt will never go away
I still feel blessed to have
Known love in a special way                                                                            
I will never wed again
No matter what I do
I can’t take the pain
That I suffered through
My scares will last a lifetime
And for love I will not tarry
Because I will always remember
The first time I got married

Love is Like
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Love is like a little blossom
Unfolding by the hour
Mixed with warmth, secret desire
And awesome burning power
A little bit tingled with
Butterflies in your stomach
Heart beating fast
Something is definitely forming

Eyes glossed with a color that’s
Very seldom seen
Makes a man feel like a king
And a woman feels like a queen  
Love is like the fragrance of
The best perfume money can buy
It conquers the hardest heart
And never says good bye

Love is like the glue that
Holds together a letter
It mends, it holds, it
Really doesn’t matter  
It sticks to the inside and
Can’t be pulled apart
It’s not in the mind but
Sealed deep in the heart
Love is the healing that
Most of us needs
Without love on our side
How many relationships
Rarely ever succeeds?

If God
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
If God can forgive me
Then why can’t you
If God say you are beautiful
Because you are mine
Why can’t you encourage
Me some of the time
If God has compassion
Deep for me in his heart
Would it hurt you to be like him?
Not selfish but smart

If God can take my tears
And turn them into joy
Why must you dream
Of things to destroy
If God made this world
And put us in it
There is no respect of person
Because God children are many

If God made the sea
And the ocean so wide
The least you can do is
Get rid of your pride
If God heal the sick and
Surly raised the dead
What about the five
Thousand souls he fed

I am your sister or
Maybe even your brother
Put aside hatred and
Let’s love one another
If God did all these things
He did it for a reason
That we are to win souls
No matter what the season

If God can look at me
And not see race
Why you judge me when
You look in my face
If God can see who I am
When he look in my eyes
Why can’t you except what
God made me inside

God can do all these things
Because he is God
But what’s your excuse for
Your mean and cold heart
God is an example of how
We should live on earth
This is why he came, and
The reason for his birth

If we can be like God, as far
As our souls is able
We can laugh about our troubles
Around the welcome table
Knowing that through our trial
And every single stone
Patient brought forth joy and
We should do no wrong.

My Crystal Ball
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I have this little crystal ball
I’m afraid to look inside
Afraid to see the future
Afraid of what it hides
I don’t want to see
What tomorrow may bring
It may bring happiness
Heart aches and pain

It just might show me things
I do not want to see
Causing sorrow to over take
A great part of me
What must I do with my
Little crystal ball
Should I look inside and
Answer to its call?

Maybe I will see; where
Time is no more
Or maybe it will be
Better days then before
Part of me wants to know
What tomorrow will bring
It could hold riches, or
Almost any thing

To want to know the future
They tell me it’s a crime
It’s something that bothers
Me; consonantly on my mind
My crystal ball stares at me
While setting on the shelf
I am tempted to look
I just can’t help myself

Trying to see the future
Is like a hard riddle
Keep messing with the present
You get caught up in the middle
I think I’ll throw my crystal ball
Far out in the sea
Cause only God knows my future
And what’s in store for me

Thanksgiving
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
This time of year
Is special in my heart
To bow my head and
Give thanks to God
For blessing my family
To live happy and free
To be in the place
Where we ought to be

To be thankful for our gifts
No matter how little or small
To be cheerful, happy,
And thankful for them all
For blessing us to eat
The food on our table
Health, strength, and
The fruit of our labor

Thanksgiving bring so
Much honor and cheer
And I know I am blessed
To be here this year
So, before setting at the
Table stuffing my face
I will always remember
To be thankful with GRACE!

Private phone at midnight
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
There is something about
The midnight hour
That keeps me in
Touch with God.
My private phone
At midnight comes
Straight from my heart
  
When everyone is asleep
I can get a phone call through
The same God that
Listens to me will
Also listen to you.
When people do me wrong,
And make me shed my tears.
I use my private phone line
To tell God how I feel.
  
The line is always open,
Never too busy you see;
I know the Lord
God lives, because
He also lives in me.
Get on your private
Phone at midnight
And keep in touch
With God; but before
You dial the number,
Make sure you want
Him in your heart.

I'm Glad

But like all  things
Life can often mend
So during this holiday season
I am glad we are friends!

A life fill with lies
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
He didn’t answer me when
I call him on the phone
Setting in this dark room
Feeling all alone
Images in my head of
Him with someone else
I’m feeling so empty
I can’t help myself

A knock at the door with
Him on the other side
I couldn’t answer him
For the tears in my eyes
When he walked through the
Door, he had a different look
The smell of perfume on his shirt;
For me that’s all it took

My entire life with him
Filled with many lies
When he lifted up his head
I were in for a big surprise
I said not a word but
Went straight to my room
It’s my birthday, and he
Didn’t bring baboons?
I guess it took courage for
Him to give me the news
He said; I never loved you baby,
Surprise! You been used

When you tried to touch me
Wanting to share my love
All the time you lay in my arms
My heart were with another girl
She told me that she loves me
And want to share my life
I am going to marry her
And hold her every night

Don’t act like you hurt,
You knew this all the time
When I came home with lipstick
On my collar smelling like wine
You thought that I love you
And that I even care
How could you think that?
I were never there

When he walked away from
Me, I fell to the floor
He never looked back
As he hurried through the door
For 10 long months I
Screamed and I cried
Knowing I would never get
Over; my whole life fill with
LIES!!!!

This time of year
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
This time of year I
Often think of friends;
Broken hearts and
Relationships to mend
Eating and talking
Setting around the table
Telling Christmas stories
Of a baby in the stable

Green pine trees with
Red, green, and blue lights
With present there to open
That every one might like
Bitter cold wind
Blowing from the south
Turkey and ham to
Fill everybody’s mouth

Christmas decoration hanging
Tightly on the wall
Dad playing Santa clause
But that’s not all
Setting on the table
Is cookies and milk
Mom got a night gown
Made of pure silk

A star in the sky
Shinning so bright
Eggnog and cinnamon:
And a merry good night
