See the power of God
in the bombs you make
also a glimpse of hell
in their fiery wake
your big mistake
is in using them
not for heavens sake
but your own selfish
ways and means
so at least in the end
you should know where
you and your friends
might spend eternity...Kelly McManus

Fill My Empty Eyes
Kelly McManus Jun 2019
Yes, God has made his presence known in my life, from my childhood mysteries,
and wonderment, he was always omnipresent, both in my heart, and the world around me.
Even as I aged, he was always there, when I first really looked at girls, for the first time;
I couldn't believe, for so long, I had been so blind, to not see such beauty that was always there around
me, but now I see, a brand new world for me to explore, with new challenges, and amazements
galore. With the Lord there, whispering in my ear, just keep your faith, and love in your heart,
and know we will never be apart, and it's no mystery there's so much more in the world for
you to see, with a smile on his face he said, just follow me!
