"Gem of Love"
Kenny Whiting Mar 2016
The words "true love" can mean so much
If loving that right girl
She'll turn your nights to sunny days
She'll rock your whole wide world!
Her love is like vast rolling hills
Grass blowing in the breeze
The scent of springtime wafting in
To set your mind at ease!
Her strength is like a lightning bolt
Loud crash of thunderous roar,
The power behind a mighty breeze
An  anchor cast on shore!
Her beauty so magnificent
Like mountains capped with snow
As suns horizon meets the land
A sunsets peaceful glow!
Her touch, a soft and tender touch
A drop of gentle rain
It brings such joy into your heart
Her touch can ease sheer pain!
Her hearts so full of tenderness
It beats to show her love
A precious package sent to me
From Heavenly Father above!
So now you see how rich I am,
In love I've got the world!
Since finding her I have it ALL-
My gem, My precious pearl!

"Love Repair"
Kenny Whiting Jun 2017
It's time in life we live today,
   we take a bit of pause;
To reminisce the days gone past,
   the pain we may have caused.

We all took roads or different paths,
   few narrow, far more broad;
But chose to find our way through life,
   by traveling road we trod.

We've left a trail of shattered hearts,
   of loved ones in our wake;
The bitter taste of self defeat,
   from choices that we make.

So every day from here on out,
  let's change the way we've lived;
To find ourselves, if just once more,
   remembering only this:

There's young ones needing us today,
    they're hurting oh so bad;
To know they mean the most to you,
   to know you love them dad!
  
So take a moment every day,
   to let them know you care;
Can't change the past mistakes you made,
   but love you can repair.
As we made our way through life the choices we made and paths we took, right or wrong, ALL affected each precious one that loves us. As I did and so many others, we hurt those jewels whether we meant to or not. One of the greatest things about love is that we CAN repair it, we can mend relationships, and I for one am going to!

"Brand New Year"
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
It doesn't take a genie's spell
  to change your life today;
It only takes determined mind,
   to live a different way!

We all have done those certain things,
   we wished we'd never done;
Or overlooked important things
  to live our life all wrong.

Don't ever think you can't change now,
   it's never quite to late;
To make up time you've thrown away,
   or change past choices made!

Just start today, don't put it off,
   to choose to do what's right;
To stand your ground for better life,
   to finally win this fight!

Now hug and hold those one's you've hurt,
   don't fear to shed a tear;
Just show them by your actions now,
   This year's a brand new year!

"Life Long Love"
Kenny Whiting Jul 2017
I don't know what to say right now,
   I'm fumbling for the words;
To tell you all you mean to me,
   your love makes words absurd.

There's not a word yet known to man,
   describing how it feels;
Much more than good, far more than best,
   a feeling so unreal.

It's taken time to feel this way,
   since really finding love;
I never thought I'd find you girl,
   my angel from above.

Now holding on to what we have,
   a love that most won't know;
I'm sticking by your side each day,
   to never let you go.

So when at times you stumble down,
    I'll help you to your feet;
'Cause when it counts, no, anytime,
   in life it's you and me!

"Such Love"
Kenny Whiting Apr 2016
Now everyday I learn such things,
   as hard times come to stay;
I watch to see who stand by me,
   and those who walk away!

Although we've seen some tough times now,
   as each one's come and gone;
I realized this, you've always been,
   beside me all along!

Oh yes, you've seen both sides of me,
   the good side and the bad;
You've held me when life strikes me down,
   when broken heart and sad!

I know you've seen life push me 'round,
   at times down to the ground;
Yet as you reached your hand to me,
   such strength in you I found!

You've shown me love all through my life,
   you've stood so strong and bold;
You never left me once in life,
   you're always there to hold!

I'll try to return this love to you,
   you've shown me everyday;
I've seen the best example now,
   to love in such a way!

If someone asks, I'll tell 'em quick,
   your love has seen me through;
I've never known what true love was,
   until my heart found you!

"Queen of My Heart"
Kenny Whiting May 2017
Please let me take one moment now,
   to tell you 'bout my girl;
She's sweeter than pure honeycomb,
    more precious than a pearl.

She came to me sent straight from God,
   to teach me 'bout real love;
A present that My God sent down,
   from Heaven's gates above.

I'm proud I found my one true love,
   yet still so overwhelmed;
So blessed to call her all my own,
   gift from Angelic realms.

She fills me full of hope in life,
   means more than everything;
She's bound my heart with chains of love;
   my love, my gorgeous queen.
What happened to the past days when a couple treated each other like royalty? They truly respected each other and the man treated his lady like the real Queen she is...

"Broken Past"
Kenny Whiting Dec 2016
There's been some times in my own past,
   where broken's not the word;
Some times in days and years gone by,
    where living seemed absurd.

I've fallen down, yes down so low,
    I've been down to my knees;
The lowest point that one could bear,
    when dying would bring peace.

Now coming back ten fold as strong,
   I finally found my way;
To beat the odds, stand up again,
   grow stronger day by day.

So don't you once give up on me,
   don't dare to count me out;
To stand so tall above the rest,
   to shatter any doubt!

Stay by my side to see me grow,
    you better hold on tight;
Its gonna be a wild ride,
    to see me win this fight!

"Fortress of Love"
Kenny Whiting Apr 2016
You'll never find a love like mine
   from sea to shining sea;
So as I wrap you in my arms,
   don't think at all, just breathe!

Breathe in my love I'm showing you-
   you'll never be without,
My love will never leave your side;
   my love will never doubt!

When often trials come  our way,
   I'll hold you in my arms;
You'll be so safe right here with me,
   all life from any harm!

You'll wake up every morning to
   sweet words said in your ear;
I'll tell you how I'll be right here
   relieving all your fears!

I'll never let another hurt
   or tear our love apart;
I'll be so strong defending you
   as the keeper of your heart!

Now as we travel on down life's road,
   I'll help you to believe,
My love is not a word just spoke,
   but actions you'll receive!

I know quite well where I belong,
   I'll be here as your King;
In this fortress of my love for you,
   my princess and my queen!

"Love Strong"
Kenny Whiting Apr 2017
It may be odd to some out there,
   to be this much in love;
But when your time is right you'll know,
   'cause words won't seem enough.

It sneaks in small, the quiet type,
    then rips your world apart;
Yet only in the best of ways,
    will true love leave its mark.

You'll find it best when in those times,
   you seem so unaware;
Just try to turn away from it
   or fight it if you dare.

It may seem weak to fall in love,
   such myths have proven wrong;
'Cause never once 'til I found you
   I've ever been this strong!
To be in love with someone gives you more than a good feeling, it gives you strength like you've never known...strength to battle whatever it is that life brings your way!

"Winner's Heart"
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
We traveled down this road of life,
we try for Heaven's sake;
To make the best of how we've lived,
decisions that we make.

So few are right, so many wrong,
but each one's left their mark;
It's how you fight your way back up
that proves a winner's heart.

It's in those times real men stand up
to keep on pressin' on;
They forge ahead through hardest times,
don't stop till battle's won!

They never once give up the fight,
when reaching for the stars;
To finally win the race we've run,
to prove just who we are!

We are the few who broke the mold,
who've beat the odds we face;
Those one's who've taken back their lives,
the winners in this race!

As victor now let's take the stand,
with loved ones by our side;
To finish what we've started here
sobriety, our prize!

"Daddy's Gift"
Kenny Whiting Mar 2018
A precious gift sent straight to me,
   from Heaven's gates above;
Perfection formed in tiny hands,
   held daddy's heart with love.

Amazingly phenomenal,
   and perfect all in one;
She's always there within my heart,
   when every day is done.

She's growing up, yes FAR too fast,
   yet still she holds my world;
Not one could fill a heart so full,
   but daddy's little girl.

She knows for sure this one small thing,
   all though we've been apart;
My princess and my angel,
   still holds her daddy's heart.
No matter how old they get, those precious young'uns still hold their daddy's heart!

"What is Jesus to You?"
Kenny Whiting Dec 2016
If asked to give but just one word,
  of what He is to you;
The first word that now comes to mind,
   of all that He can do...

My Jesus is My Saviour,
   He hung on Calvary,
He gave His all to take our sin,
   and died to set us free!

My Jesus is My Sovereign,
   the Ruler of ALL things;
Let's go to Him on bended knee,
   for He is King of Kings!

My Jesus is My Shepherd,
   each one of us His sheep;
He always leads our path each day,
   He'll watch us, guide and keep!

My Jesus is My Captain,
   in seas that overwhelm;
You'll make it through each storm of life,
   with Jesus at the helm!

My Jesus gets more real each day,
   now hear His gentle call;
You ask me what He is to me,
   I'll tell you, "He's My All!"

"My Valentine"'
Kenny Whiting Apr 2016
I don't have pull with Cupid's bow
Or chocolate covered hearts
No shiny things or fancy rings
To set my love apart!
We may not have the biggest house
Or grandest way to live
Yet not a man alive today
Has this much love to give!
You must believe the words I say
I love you so my dear
I can't afford the finer things
So let me make it clear-
Since actions speak a million words
Each time I hold you tight-
I'm telling you I love you so-
A trillion times each night!
I don't just speak these words I say
And trust you will believe,
I plan to show you everyday
With love you will receive!
I promise you not on this earth
You'll find a love like mine,
So as this day of love comes soon-
Please be my valentine

"Peace and Perfection"
Kenny Whiting Mar 2018
She's gorgeous yet much more than that,
   she's got a precious mind;
A love that spans to ends of earth,
    one words could n'ere define.

She's got it all, bright smile, good looks,
   a heart that draws you in;
Each time I lay my eyes on her,
   I fall in love again.

She's like a wave on ocean sand,
   a breeze of springtime air;
A flowing river through the trees,
   true peace you'll not compare.

She's perfect not for everyone,
   But give it time, you'll see;
A fit that only God could make,
   she's perfect just for me!
God created someone specifically for YOU. The day will come when you find that person. Then you will realize what perfect peace is about...

"Only One"
Kenny Whiting Mar 2016
There's something 'bout this love of yours
It leaves not one small doubt
It fills me up so full of glee
It makes me want to shout!
This special kind of love you give
So meaningful and true
It makes it so delightful
Just to spend my time with you!
It stands alone all by itself
It's love that stands so strong
You've shown with every word and deed
Each day that goes along!
Oh yes I feel it every hour
I never have to ask
It flows from you so easily
A love to always last!
When times I feel a bit alone
With love you made it clear
You'll never leave my side in life
You ease my every fear!
I thank you for your special love
A love like yours and mine
A love that happens only once
To stand all test of time!
This love you've shown me through my life
I know can only come
From heart that loves me without doubt
From one and only one!!

"Dreams Surpassed"
Kenny Whiting Aug 2017
I've dreamed a dream for many years,
   I've begged My Lord above;
To find it in His Master plan,
   for me to find true love.

The one that He had made for me,
   so perfect in His sight;
That angel I have dreamt about,
   to bring me pure delight.

And then one day my dreams came true,
   He more than answered prayer;
He far surpassed my every dream,
   He gave me YOU, my dear!

Now that I've found my one true love,
   it feels much more than right;
As I now see, not only His,
   you're perfect in MY sight!
You have dreamed your whole life about meeting that perfect one for you, but it's not until that day comes that you truly realize what perfection and true love is all about!

"Do You Know Where?"
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
Have you ever thought about it,
where you'll go to when you die?
Do you have a Home in Heaven
far beyond the clear blue sky?

Have you ever asked forgiveness
for each sin you sinned today?
See My Jesus died Calvary,
His forgiveness paved the way!

Could have called a million angels
but not once He ever tried;
Bore the weight of ALL our sins there,
on the cross, He hung and died!

As He drew His very last breath,
with a spear stuck in His side;
Paid the price for ALL us sinners
Heaven's gate He opened wide!

Why not ask Him for forgiveness,
ask Him in your heart to stay;
Then the Home you'll have in Heaven
He'll prepare for you today!

Now you'll have a humble mansion,
waiting for you in the sky;
Then you'll never have to question,
where you'll go now when you die!

"Plans of Perfection"
Kenny Whiting Dec 2016
Hear what I say, then ponder this,
   God made you just for me;
Created from a piece of bone
   just molded perfectly!

He took such pride in all he made
   placed everything just right;
My God Himself saw what He'd done,
   perfection in His sight!

He knew we need companionship,
   Each husband needs his wife;
Someone like you to walk with me
   with whom to share my life!

He started out with only sand,
   to form a mortal man;
Beginning of the human race,
   fulfilling perfect plan!

I'll bet He chuckled to Himself,
   He knew how proud I'd be;
How right He was and proud I AM,
   that you're right here with me!
Men, did you know that God made her specifically for you? She is perfect in His sight. So if the time comes you wished  she would change this or that about herself, remember Your Heavenly Father created her perfectly in His sight....maybe you are the one who needs the adjustment!

"Awaiting Splendor"
Kenny Whiting Jun 2017
This lonesome earth is not my home,
   I'm just wanderin' through;
I'm waiting for my chariot ride,
   to home beyond the blue.

There's just a few more roads to cross,
   A few more wars to fight;
There's but one moment left on earth,
   until I take that flight.

What glorious moment that will be,
   He'll come with outstretched hand;
To lead us to a glorious place,
   our Home in Beulah Land!

With sudden splendor He'll arrive,
   His Angels gathered 'round;
We'll know that moment when it comes,
   hear Heaven's trumpets sound.

I'm now so ready for that day,
   to see My Saviour arrive;
Could be this morning, noon and night,
   we'll break through yonder skies.

I hope your ready when He comes,
   to take us Home sweet Home;
You've trusted in God's saving grace,
On Heaven's shores you'll roam.

We can't imagine what glory will be,
   what splendor there awaits;
When on that day we'll walk and run,
   through Heaven's Pearly Gates!

I love you girl, I know that now,
   you've won my heart indeed;
You make me smile when other's can't,
    you mean this much to me...

You're wild fire that burns inside,
   to set my heart ablaze;
A sunbeams ray that sheds pure light,
   on each my darkest days.

You're buttercups and daffodils,
    the color in my life;
A *** of gold at rainbows end,
   my comfort after strife.

You're fresh cut grass caught in the wind,
    a breathe of springtime breeze;
The a' la mode' that tops me off,
   to make my life complete.

So when you feel you're not enough,
   I hope with this you'll see;
You're all of this and so much more,
    you're EVERYTHING to me!
Anybody can say "I love you", but not everyone can go into detail as to what that person and their love really means

As I sit alone and pen these words
My mind is stuck on you
I think about you everyday
In everything I do!
You see it wasnt long ago
I saw you standing there,
You smiled at me your gorgeous smile-
You know it wasn't fair!
You know quite well it pulled my strings
My heart had skipped a beat
Just thinking 'bout it once again
My heart does oft repeat!
I said"hello" and "how are you?"
You said "I'm doing fine"
I knew right then with just those words
Your heart would soon be mine!
I walked to you, stepped far too close
You stole a little kiss.
The blood ran hot within my veins
I'd never felt like this!
I couldn't take the way I felt
I pulled you in my arms
I knew right then I'd keep you safe
All life from any harm!
Now as I'm here all by myself
It's you I'm dreaming of
I pray you know just how it felt
This little thing called love!

This beauty of a girl I know,
   will wow you with her smile;
Yet beyond that, she's SO much more,
   she'll go that extra mile.

She's sweet as honey, pure as gold,
   small hint of sassy flare;
A friend to me like no one else,
   with heart you'll not compare.

She's strong in will, yet soft at heart,
   she's made it on her own;
Yet makes the rarest gem on earth,
   look like a mass of stone.

She's gentle, pure with peace of mind,
   she's got a hold on me;
This once thought shattered heart of mine,
   now whole as one could be.

Now if you see her walk your way,

Exuding love with just her smile,

"Simplistic View Of Glory"
Kenny Whiting Jul 2017
Dear Lord, I come to you right now,
   I'm down on bended knee;
To see if we can barter up a deal,
   a trade 'twixt You and me.

I heard you're building me a Home,
   a mansion in the skies;
A harp and crown to call my own,
   no sooner than I die.

Well heres the deal, I'll never feel,
   real comfy in those digs,
So if I can, I'll spill the beans,
   'bout my dream place to live.

I'd start with just a smidge 'o land,
   tucked yonder in the hills;
A cabin with a front porch swing,
   no reoccurring bills.

I'll trade majestic gates of pearl,
   and shiny streets of gold;
For picket fence with squeaky gates,
   and worn out muddy road.

I'd take a hat and guitar pick,
   no harp or crown for me;
A big 'ole oak with hammock swung,
   now that would glory be.

Now this I ask in Heaven's name,
   I leave it in Your hands;
It's You who made me who I am,
   a simple country man!
I still enjoy writing about Heaven. God made us each individually with individual taste and imaginations. This is a view into what I would dream of Heaven being...this would be Glory for me!

not ever let it show;
But time has come to say those things
I never let you know!

We've lived our lives for past few years
we went our separate ways;
Although apart, still find my thoughts
just on you everyday!

I've tried to love someone but you,
I did my very best;
No matter how I tried so hard,
my love for you's no less!

I tell you now, in my whole life
the hardest thing to do;
Was holding her both night and day
but yet still loving you!

In just the past few years
I've seen you buckle from the pain
I've wiped away your tears!
I wish I could just wave a wand
And make your sorrows gone
There's several things I'd like to say
For now, let's start with one -
I've never been quite super man
Or strong as Hercules
I can't run fast or jump too high
Or even swing from trees,
There's one thing though I can do well
It's be here for my friend
To hold you up, to see you through
From now till very end!
I'll fight for you all wars of life,
I'll battle hottest flames
I'll hold your hand and lead the way
Through life's incredible pain!
I'll never leave your side again,
I'll stick to you like glue,
And when you feel a bit alone
Just think, I'm here for you!
You'll never find a friend like me
From sea to shining sea,
I'll be right here from this day on
The Best Friend I can be!

For He knows our every battle,
  every little thing we do;
He is always watching 'ore us,
  and He'll always see us through!

Yes, we've all seen troubled waters,
  had our lives rocked to and fro;
Know we've got Him as Our Captain,
  and He's always in control!

As the lightning strikes around us
  and the thunder's deafening roar;
He will guide us through our troubles,
  so we'll reach the other shore!

Oh there's times we'll be so fearful,
  not a hope on which to stand;
Then He'll keep and show us comfort,
  in the hollow of His Hand!

Yes there's days our faith will falter,
  you can doubt Him if you dare;
Yet He'll always be Our Anchor,
When we need Him, He is there!

Now you see when trials gather,
  trust in Him for all your days;
Know My Lord will comfort give you,
  and He'll calm those angry waves!

You take away all pain
You make my heart just skip a beat
With the speaking of your name!
For just to put it mildly
I loved you at first sight
The moment that I first saw you
My heart had taken flight!
Youre here beside me everyday
No shadow of a doubt
You fill my soul, encourage me
And show what love's about!
You've always stood so bold and strong
Just right here next to me
Your love is not conditional
It's more like Heavenly!
As all the times I caused you pain
By living my life wrong
You've shown me what fogiveness was
And moved our love along.
I pray my Lord will show me how
To love you in His way
He'll help me be the man I should,
Walk closer day by day!
I pray He'll help me do what's right,
Far better than the past
To hold you close wrapped in these arms
And show you love to last!

As the lightning dances round,
   and the thunder's deafening roar;
You may feel My God has left you,
   or His love is never more!

Your heart is filled with sadness,
   your body weary and weak;
Your eyes, they burn with sorrow,
   as tears roll down your cheeks.

The devil says "Get angry,
   God took this one from you!";
He fills your mind with questions,
   and says"God's love's not true!".

"How could He leave me lonely?
   How could He take you away?
How could He do this to me?
  I can't live another day"!

"What have I done to Him?
   How could this all be?
Have I lived my life so wrong?
   Has He turned His back on me?".

My God has every answer,
   To all questions just above,
He puts turmoil in our life,
   to help us trust His love!

It was Him that blessed you with
  the time you got to spend,
Here beside your beautiful love,
   He placed with you on lend!

It's nothing that you've done,
   nor have you lived so wrong;
For without some trials in life,
   we could never be this strong!

Their time on earth was through,
   I'm sure He had a place;
Bet His choir of angel singers,
   must've had an open space!

Now see that smile upon His face,
   as you loved one sings His praise;
Backed by a million angel singers,
   as their voice's they raise!

Yes, My God will see you through,
   each day you live from here;
If you'll give it all to God,
   you bet, He'll hold you near!

"Heaven Bound"
Kenny Whiting Apr 2016
There is coming a special day,
   when I'll see my Saviour's face;
When the dead in Christ shall rise
   since He saved me by His grace!

As those Angel's trumpet sound,
   He will take us by the hand;
Lead us to our Final Home,
   nestled up in Beaulah Land!

No more heartaches will be known,
   not one tear will dim the eye;
As the storms of life all pass,
   not a cloud left in the sky!

Once we've crossed inside those gates,
   no more burdens more to bear;
No more parting, no more pain,
   not one sorrow over there!

We'll live forever on that shore,
   never grow a bit more old;
Time in Heaven will not count,
   as we'll walk those streets of gold!

Don't you think I'm poor or lonely,
   this 'ole world is not my home;
For I'm just-a-passin' through-
   thinking 'bout that place I'll roam!

When to Heaven I've ascended,
   could be morning night or noon;
With My Jesus right beside me-
   Heaven's Angels all in tune!

I can hear those trumpets sounding,
   yes I know I'm Heaven bound:
Since I found Him as My Saviour,
   I'll receive a harp and crown!

"Winner's Dream"
Kenny Whiting May 2017
Some try so hard to do their best,
   some others just give in;
It's up to you to make the choice,
   to fall or fight to win!

We all have stumbled down at times,
   crushed loved ones in our wake;
They all deserve a better man,
   your life, the prize at stake!

There's family, friends and loved ones 'round,
   who'd die for you today;
For once to see you turn around,
   to head the other way!

They love their friend, their son or dad,
   they want what's best for you;
To step it up, to beat the odds,
   as only YOU can do!

Don't put it off, not one more day,
   to show them who you are;
Just fight to win the war ahead,
   keep reaching for the stars!

Now live each moment like your last,
   tomorrow may not come;
Yet dream a dream so big for now
   to conquer number One!
In life, we all have our own struggles. Some big, some small, but they all are  part of life we must face! We must each focus on the prize ahead to make it through whatever those struggles may be!
I pray these words will be a blessing and encouragement to all who take the time to read them...

"Chance to Make You Proud"
Kenny Whiting Apr 2016
You may not know right here and now,
   just what you really mean;
I hope you know, I still love you,
   though impossible it seems.

I know at times I let you down,
   with broken heart and sad;
I broke the vows I made to you,
   and crushed the dreams we had.

Oh yes, it's gonna take some time,
   to get back down to me;
But with God's help and bit of time,
   I pray you too will see.

He's given me another chance,
   I'll do the best I can;
To hear you say, "Thats him right there,
   oh yes, I love that man!"

I thank you so for standing by,
   not throwing me away;
I promise you I'll do my best,
   to make you proud one day!

I'm working toward the man I was,
   the "Kenny" you first met;
So if you are a gambling gal,
   on me I'd place your bet!

"Special Friend"
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
There's not too many people,
who have but one true friend;
A shoulder for to lean on,
on whom they can depend!

Someone who'll always be there,
for when in time of need;
That special one who'll always lend
a hand or helping deed!

A friend who'll always help you,
they'll go the extra mile;
Someone to hold you up all day
if only with a smile!

A person who will listen
when pouring out your heart;
The one who's never left your side,
they've been there from the start!

That wholesome leader as a friend
who's lifted you in prayer;
That special one you'll never doubt
or question if they're there!

The one who never judges you,
as sin in life you trod;
The one who's always knelt and prayed
you'd turn your life to God!

I thank God for your friendship,
through sorrow, pain and strife;
I pray someway I can repay
your friendship in my life!

"Plans of Change"
Kenny Whiting Mar 2017
I've made bad choices in my life,
   I've caused a lot of hurt;
I've been as low as one could be,
   were living seemed absurd!

I've found the point of no return,
   where dying would bring peace,
But chose to find my way back up,
   by starting from my knees!

I gave my will, my all to Him,
   He showed me nail scarred hands;
To let me know He'd paid the price,
   to show He had a plan.

Now as I fight each day and night,
   to find my way back up;
I see my future brighter now,
    not leaving it to luck!

I see He placed me where I'm at,
    and let me feel that pain;
To make me stronger than before,
   to help my life to change.
So many of us have suffered from REAL struggles in the past of many different things, but when the "light comes on" and we reach the point to where enough is enough, He is waiting to help us move forward and grow stronger never to fall again.

"All My Dreams"
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
In these moments I've spent here
I've thought about my life;
I realized all I've put you through
the sorrow, pain and strife.

I'm sorry, Dear, I have to say,
I've caused so many tears;
No matter what, you've stood by me
so strong for all these years!

I don't deserve a girl like you,
a blessing all my own;
I can't imagine living one day
without you and alone!

You've often made the hard times pale,
those times that seemed so bleak;
You stayed so bold and fought so hard
those days I'd fallen weak!

I'll never find the words to say,
how much your true love means;
You're on my mind and in my heart,
you're filling up my dreams!

I've prayed I'd find you all my life,
I'd almost given in;
Now that I've got you to myself,
won't ever lose again!

You're everything I'll ever want,
you're ALL my dreams come true;
My life now makes such perfect sense
since moment I found you!

"Happily Home"
Kenny Whiting Jul 2017
You've left me here all by myself,
    to find a way to grieve;
It shreds my heart to think right now,
   you're happy without me.

I feel at times like nothings real,
   so hard to just move on;
Each breathe I take is crushing me,
   so heartbroke and alone.

I know you're happy Home sweet Home,
   just strollin' Heaven's shore;
But living here without you now,
   breeds pain I can't ignore.

I'm sorry that I feel this way,
   as sad as one can be;
Still tryin' to deal with one small thing-
   you're happy without me.
When a loved one passes away, the grieving process is different for everyone. Knowing they are gone to a better place of no pain or sorrow makes it easier for some to accept, whereas others silently deal with the difficulty of realizing that while they are hurting and lonely their loved one is happier and more free than ever.

"Blessed Glory Land"
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
I know that I have left you now,
so heartbroken and alone;
Don't grieve for me, I'm more than good,
since now I'm Home sweet Home!

I just walked through Big Pearly Gates,
saw Peter standing by;
I met the Angels one by one,
they taught me how to fly!

Then Paul and Silas showed me 'round,
through srtreets all paved with gold;
Each saint's so young and happy here,
it's true, not one soul's old!

I just heard someone call my name,
I turned in time to see;
A group of loved ones gone before,
come running up to me!

You won't believe the music here,
the Angels have a band;
I met my Jesus, face to face,
and touched His nail-scarred hands!

I'm still in awe, I feel so good
no aches and pains at all;
The blind man now can see for once,
the lame man standing tall!

So now you see, 'Tis Glory Land
no longer that 'ole world;
When Jesus calls I'll meet you here
behind these Gates of Pearl!

"You and Me"
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
I humbly come to you right now,
I'm down on bended knee;
To talk about the love we share,
our life, just you and me!

We've stumbled ,yes, we fell sometimes,
few moments shared apart;
Yet never once to doubt your love:
the keeper of my heart!

For all the good times we've been through,
the hard times only pale;
We stand together strong in love,
true love to now prevail!

We'll walk through life, now hand in hand,
close bond we've now to form;
We'll fight each war that rages on,
to take this life by storm!

In doubt if you'll just take the time,
to look then you will see;
With strength a thousand legions strong,
Together, you and me!

"Closer than Ordinary"
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
My mind won't stop, my heartbeat fast
just heard your voice again.
Regrets I have of times gone past
for all what might have been!

For 30 years we've been best friends
grow stronger day by day
I realized quick you'd stand by me
and be right there to stay!

You've shown me how to love someone
with actions and your deeds.
You've always stooped to help me up
at times I'd been in need!

Oh yes, you've made it ******* me,
to find someone like you-
See what I mean, I'm still alone
can't find someone so true!

So as we both turn 39
I hope you'll think on this
I never dreamed we'd be this close,
full 30 years of bliss!

I know I failed, yes missed my mark,
to make you my own girl;
Yet though I did, you'll always be
my one best friend, My precious pearl!

"Heavenly Tour"
Kenny Whiting Apr 2016
I'm Homeward bound
  to a beautiful city;
As I leave earth,
  don't grieve or pity!

I'm on my way
  to a better place;
Far from all sin,
  and earth's rat race!

That's just my body,
  there lying in state;
My soul's in Heaven,
What a Glorious Fate!

So don't you cry,
  or mourn no more;
I'm walking now,
  down Heaven's shore!

Where I now live,
  there's nothing bad;
No sorrow or pain,
  not one soul sad!

Let me give a tour
  of the City I roam;
A mansion He built,
  for me to call Home!

Through Pearly gates,
  you'll see my city;
Nothin' on earth,
  even half as pretty!

Just step on in,
  and you'll be sold;
Very moment you see,
  you're walking on gold!

Just over that hilltop,
  by the Crystal Sea;
I live in that Mansion,
  so happy and free!

You'll see no darkness,
  'Ore this beautiful land;
Those Angels singing,
  just one of His bands!

So don't you worry,
  it's by God's grace;
I now reside,
  in this Glorious Place!
I wrote this piece with My Lords help as if it were a loved one, who has gone on before us, looking down from Heaven telling us how beautiful Heaven is, and they actually feel sorry for us still stuck on earth! It is like they are taking us on a short virtual tour through those pearly gates!! Hope you enjoy!

"Holding On"
Kenny Whiting Apr 2017
I thought you said you'd never leave,
   you'd never have to go;
But since you've left my side for good,
   I'm lower than just low.

I struggle so much more than hard,
   to live from day to day;
To keep my head up moving on,
   to never lose my way.

I know you're walking streets of gold,
   beside that crystal sea;
But hard for me to come to terms...
   you're happy without me.

Your name was called from Heaven's roll,
   to take My Master's hand;
Yes, one day soon I'll stroll with you,
    in Heaven's Beulah Land.

For now I'll struggle on with life,
    And hold your memories tight;
By dreaming dreams I've dreamt so much,
   of holding you each night!
I wrote this piece for a friend of mine whom is struggling from a tragic loss. He told me how he is almost upset at times that he knows she is happy now, but without him...

Such passion burns within my *****,

I wrap you up in loving arms,
   to feel your precious skin;
The way you make my blood run hot,
   my body heaves within.

You see, I know I'm more than blessed,
   to have you here with me;
To hold you once again right now,
   no place I'd rather be!

There's no one now I'd rather hold,
   No soul on earth like you;
Your more a piece of Heaven sent down,
   Celestial through and through!

How can I put in words right now,
   to tell you all you mean;
The simple truth there's not a way,
   to once describe this dream.

To feel this way is really rare,
   to know that I'm in love;
To see My Father sent you here,
   His Angel from above.

I thought I'd really felt this way,
   a time or two before;
Then realized I've not felt THIS love,
   the kind you show and more!

If ever once you doubt His plan,
   just ask and you'll receive;
A peace of mind, a sign it's real,
   this love twixt you and me!
Guys, have you told her today you love her? Have you told her the enormity of your love for her? Have you told her how much her love means to you?

I'm sitting here to write these words,
to think of only you;
Your beauty blows my mind each day,
those precious eyes so blue!

Those bright red lips so soft and sweet,
your long and flowing hair;
Angelic features at their best,
has Heaven sent you here?

With gentle touch, you show your love,
slight brush of tender hand;
Can soften even hardest heart,
to melt a full grown man!

With softly spoken gentle word,
you set my mind at ease;
And every time you say my name,
you bring me to my knees!

You bring such strength and inner peace,
through sorrow, pain and strife;
You show me love I've never seen,
since coming in my life!

To take the time to realize this,
you're more than everything;
You're ALL my world, my moon and stars
the wind beneath my wings!

My sins are all forgiven now,

My heart so filled with joy each day,
since now I've been redeemed!

I want to meet Him face to face,
to touch His nail scarred hands;
To see that mansion He prepared
my Home in Beulah Land!

Sure, I may have a moment left
a few more wars to fight;
A few more earthly roads to cross,
until my Heavenly Flight!

Though soon to hear those trumpets sound,
from Heaven's Jubilee;
That thunderous roar of chariot wheels,
now headed south for me!

They're comin' fast to pick me up
so Christians gather 'round;
With one swift move they'll scoop us all,
to then be Homeward Bound!

To see those massive gates swing wide,
my chariot flyin' by;
To my new Home forever more
to yonder in the sky!

"Power of a Friend"
Kenny Whiting Apr 2017
You feel at times you can't do right,
   no matter how you try;
Your broken heart so crushed it hurts,
    you're lost in silent cries

You fear the worst is yet to come,
   you struggle back the tears;
To end it all, but die alone,
   the worst of all your fears

It seems right now the pain won't stop,
   you'll never reach the end;
No joy no peace not now at all,
   no one to call your friend

The day has drug on far too long,
   but here's a bit of news;
I'm here right now, to share my strength,
   my heart will see you through

I know its been a lonesome road,
   you've traveled on so long;
But brighter days are just ahead,
   those darkened days all gone

Don't give up now, you must go on,
   My heart is here for you;
To be your friend, to build you up,
   to show what love can do!
As we get caught up in the rat race of life, we overlook so many people who are hurting, broken, or alone. People just like you and me who have gone through unimaginable trials, people who just need a kind word, a hug, a listening ear, people who just need a friend to care. Take the time to be one of these things for someone today...you may be the one in need tomorrow!
Kenny Whiting Nov 2016
Oh Lord, I have a BIG request,
which I must ask you now;
Before I find a girl I love,
I pray you show me how.

I know Your word is very clear
on what a girl should be;
Don't let my feelings mix me up,
but give me eyes to see.

Keep me from girls who turn my heart
from You with looks or charm;
Protect me from temptations and
those things which bring me harm.

Help me discern all those sweet words
and actions which are fake;
Guide me to see what's right and wrong,
my love for You is at stake!

Help me consider girls,
with lives that would please You;
Whose focus is to serve You well
And do what You would do!

Lord, help me find a girl that's wise,
that seeks and does what's right;
So if I choose to walk with her,
we'll both walk in Your light.

Show me a girl that knows You well,
that spends much time with You;
So she can know and do Your will
and love just like You do.

I know that if I follow You,
and put You first in all;
The girl I find will be Your choice,
our purity won't fall.

Prepare me, Lord, to be a boy,
that such a girl would choose;
To grow with her, close to Your heart-
with You, we cannot lose!

Please help me to find this girl
when your time is right;
Help her to show me half the love
my mom has all my life!

I've felt some moment here on earth
A sign of God above
He sent a blessing down to earth
Wrapped in your faithful love!
He showed me first a life without
A bit of love to feel
Then blessed me with your perfect love
This love i know is real!
I feel these special moments when
I see your joy and charm
I feel the presence of true love
Each time you're in my arms!
I take such pride each time you reach
To grab me in your sleep
It makes me feel you need me there
To hold you,watch and keep!
I've felt your love empower me
As time has rolled along
I've seen you face great trials for me
While standing bold and strong!
I pray my Lord will show me how
To love you in return
I pray He'll show the best way how
In love to always learn!
I can't explain just what it's like
To feel this feeling of-
The best example known to man
All packaged in your love!

What would life be without you here,

To hear you say your last goodbye,
   to think I'd been a fool!

So now I take the time each day,
   to thank my Lord above;
For giving me my every dream,
   all packaged in your love!

You see you fill my heart so full,

This love we share together now,
   the purest of all peace!

So never think I don't love you,
   Your more than just my girl;
I finally found my one true love,
   my ONE in this whole world!!
