The hiding of something from more than his eye
The parent’s dismay another is gaining her heart
The grievance would be theirs to find it soon taken
The difficulty being in sorrow & to be free as a lark

The parent’s suspicions of his adoration for another
The ample words of warning she hears while he’s away
The testing of dedication as if they've done this before
The strength from God His will presiding casing out fear

The first time she has given of herself to another
The prayer is for it to be his last God’s will be done
The hearts of all are centered on the calling of the Father
The desire of the lovers is to serve Him by the other’s side

The one she loves the one whose side she has walked by
The only human his heart has seen in such a way
The scales are off their eyes faults fully known
The perfectly imperfect one whose heart calls home

Who knows God's weird and beautiful ways?
I love the suspense of His journey's that lie ahead!
I have learned to be ready to let go at all costs..
Strive to strengthen the inner man of the spirit,
And love God first above all else.
For If God is the one I love,
Then it is through His unconditional love I love others,
And this heart of flesh will not get torn.
I have hurt others hearts before,
Have no intentions on doing so again.
But I can't help it when God calls me one way,
And the other refuses to let go.
Because it was not through God's love,
That they cared for me.

I knew a boy, who became a man
Overnight it seemed, so unreal and surreal
The face became strong, actions honest and true
Words became wise, strength in his vanes
One of honor respect, integrity truth and charity

I knew a boy, who is now a man
Learned to love in purity, with God in his soul
Set sail on the harshest sea, knowing not the tide
To find a place in the world, is now his desire
Steps of surety towards a goal, a man of men

I knew a boy, who became a man
Helpful hand in times of need, a listening ear
Not taking for granted the wind, nor following its whim
Eye’s set on God, the eternal reward of His Own
Ay a man worth knowing, a man worth loving

I knew a boy, who is now a man
Dedicated to Brother, Brad J. March

Results of blind love some may speak
Scales falling from the lovers tired eyes
To behold the glaring reality before them
An equally imperfect person which they wed

Let us not deny our humanness to the other
Faults bind two humans in oneness of mind
From each weakness one finds a new strength
To move forward as one body not two ashamed

Ay many things you are not my dearest one
And many more virtuous things you are
Do not call me a liar and mock my adoration
This heart is set in the warmth of your chest

These glowing eyes are set on your worth
Honestly aware of your mundane faults
Ask you not to be perfect in person alone
Only to be perfectly imperfect together

Rain pounding on the roof wakes one in slumber
A toss in the bed to grasp for warmth from the covers
Fire in the chest of longing fueled by memories strong
A ring hangs on the bedstead in reminder of a song

Memories of warmth sooth the fire give aid to sleep
A smile spreads across the face breathed by peace
Vacant place still in waiting to be filled by a touch
A simple remedy for the lover who is near not far

Letter’s lying on the floor from the previous day
A pen with paper waiting eagerly to send care far away
One more day with promises  for the famished heart
A love so strong with busy hands for ones kept apart

Lover across the sea or land fighting for thy country
A hand is waiting a God is guiding for desire is of His making
One in waiting for the homeward message stand by proudly
A strength unknown is aiding the wait for one cared for fondly

I know I've been wrong...
I know I've been forgiven.
I just don't wanna do the same all over.

This is no first criminal offense,
but I'm not getting locked up.
The law I broke is against the heart,
here I am confess'en.

Alot to ponder... alot to question.
I know one thing, I am on my knees
and peace is what I am gettin.

Thoughts run through my mind
like sun dances on the leaves
If they could only give me peace
like the whisper of the trees
Sometimes I need a reminder
of Who owns my heart
That He predestined me
to light this world so torn apart
He gives me oil for my lamp
which light is growing dim
For this soul has run dry
in a thirsty land so dreary and grim
