He spoke in tongues of demons
That dwell within his mind
But could also converse with angels
in the tongues of their own kinds
And as you look into his eyes
and see not an ounce of faith
It had been taken from him
and thus he'd become a wraith
a wailing spirit longing
For heavens cool embrace
He wanted to find his peace
but fear was etched upon his face
He did not want rejected
for his heart could not bear it
So he wandered life in misery
Through God his sins were acquit
Sanity seemed to flee
And doubt replaced his love
And all the while he reached out
To his God above
Fear replaced joy
Had the demons won?
They stripped him of everything
would he be undone?
He wanted to climb out
of the hole that he had made
And every time he fell again
His heart would also fade
Love could reach down
and pull the man back out
if only he would grab her hand
and let her erase his doubt.
Peace, Love and understanding
Is all I want for him to have
To quell his anger, quench his thirst
and finally again hear him laugh.

Plucked from my roots
I whither
Crushed underfoot,
After being stolen
-for beauty's sake
Made worthless, garbage
For a moment of careless want.

That is not the end
just the start
the beauty in pain can be found
regain the strength
and let love abound

I had never known a love like ours
I never stopped to smell the flowers
I never took the time
Until I called you mine.

You brought me love, and life
You took my pain and strife
You gave me wings so I may fly
You gave me peace I can’t deny

I will walk with you forever
Through any lesson, or endeavor
I will be there, holding your hand
I will always understand
Thank you for the love you give

Life has spun me round and round
Picked me up, threw me on the ground
It tossed me here, and there
It never seemed to be very fair

I never asked for the life I've been given
I am just glad I got the chance to be living
I thank God every day for the ones in my life
Who make it worth it, who take away my strife

I used to get scared about whats around the next bend
But I am turning the corner and the fears at its end
I see the light, Its in my loved ones eyes,
I don't see regret, anger, or lies...

I see my children, and what God has done,
To bring me here, right now, with my daughter and sons
I see what my life is shaping and forming into
and I know what I am going to do

I was made, to be here with Him
I don't care about the past, no matter how grim
Because my future is brighter than the darkness
No matter its pitch, no matter how heartless...

God is stronger than the devil
on every single level..
So love is more powerful than the dark
Its a complex idea, yet so stark.

Clear and defining, in every way
Love will last til the end of days
This family I've been given
I've been forgiven
Because I forgave myself

You fill my mind with whispers of safety
You fill my heart with love abounding
You stand before me so bravely
Saying "Yes, I love You, I Do,"
Those words hold power,
I have never had trust in someone
Like I MUST have in you.
Because I gave you my broken heart
and you took my past, and had it undone
to mend it.. To defend it...

Now our lives are blended together
Two as one, now and forever
you are my light, my sun, my moon
My muse, my life, my dear...
You take away my fear.

Thank you for everything that you do
thank you for truly, just being you...
You took my broken heart, and made it whole
You hugged me, and brought back my soul...
You gave me the words to write on these pages,
So I give them back to you, and hope you accept

The love I capture in a glance
would fill an eternity,
The space between our hearts is nil
This love was purely the will of God
I know with certainty

A love to last the ages
told of only on a books pages
two become one, and grow old
That's not how the common tale is told

The story stops at happily ever after
But it doesn't recount the laughter
It doesn't show the baby, and the joy
It doesn't tell of a love, not even time can destroy...

It just says the end, leaving so much untold...
So I will tell the rest.
Our love to come is on blank pages
waiting to be written, and we will be blessed...

Thank you for your heart
I have mine as a gift for you
I'm sorry that its been shattered before, Its true
None the less, It will love you deeply, with every piece,

What did I think you were?
An angel in disguise?
What did you think I was?
A kid hiding behind her lies?

You took me in
under your wing
did you really know?
Did you know everything?

I was a child lost in the store,
You were the parent, sick with worry
You found me
With love, fear and fury

I love the friend I found in you
I love the person I am now
Because you had the faith
I know we will all make it somehow

Brother, You've been there
In my darkest hour,
You were the darkened hand on my shoulder
Behind the scenes, the cloaked power

You kept me uplifted
You kept me on track
I owe you my life
You've always had my back.

I was scared, I was hurt
I didn't understand the things you said
I didn't understand the anger you had
I had no idea how your heart bled
