Jesus Carried The Cross

As bad as things get when you're
scared or you're lost,
remember when Jesus carried
the cross.
To the top of Mt Calvary
knowing his fate,
trusting in God every
step of the way.
Showing the world he
never gave in,
leaning on our father
until the end.
Trusting the promise
that heaven awaits,
every soul here on earth
only God creates.

A Butterfly ***** It's Wings

I said goodbye to a friend today
for a moment I thought we lost,
forgetting about life eternal
that was promised on the cross.
Who shall ever believe in him
will never pass away,
from ashes to dust we come and go
but the soul lives on in every way.
Someone who makes a difference
continues to survive,
if only through our memories
friendship never dies.
Someone watches over you
and every now and then,
a butterfly ***** it's wings
and we're visited again.
It's never goodbye  just see
you later in these days we all may mourn,
on the other side of life
a home in heaven
awaits us all from
the moment we are born.

Dance The Dance

Don't wait for life to be perfect
all your ducks lined up in a row,
because if you hesitate
you might miss out you never know.
Plan your future wisely but if fate
steps in the way,
follow what's in your heart
life the life today.
You only come round once
it's ok to take a chance,
don't wait for life to be perfect
live it well and dance the dance.

You'll Never Fail

Be the captain of your voyage,
forever try your best,
focus looking forward
north south east and to the west.
Never waver in your thinking,
nor balance on the wall,
fight for what you believe in,
when you win you'll win it all.
Battle for truth, fight for freedom
let honesty be your goal,
Hang your flag, make your choice
prepared to pay the toll.
Voice the words that must be said,
not to soft nor too flat,
white is white as truth is shared,
black will always be just that.
You're the captain of your conscience
may your light forever prevail,
as you reach your destination
follow God's path and you'll never fail.

Dance With The Living

I may die poor by
economy's  review,
I've worked hard and struggled
no different from you.
Riches immeasurable
neither glitter nor shine,
priceless is love you'll
earn in time.
No price tag attached
just a gift you were given,
when God chose you to dance
with the living.

To The Spider Said The Fly

You weave your web so gracefully
to the spider said the fly,
your cunning dance and sticky
silk capture victims passing by.
To nature you serve a purpose
much like humans do,
be careful whom you snag,
someday they'll eat you too.

Hope Leads The Way

There are storms we must weather
mountains to climb,
in this journey called life
with no reason nor rhyme.
It's fight or flight but when
all's said and done,
the war keeps raging
till the victory's won.
Inside our bodies a force
resides,
that fights for survival
in most difficult times.
In every soul hope
leads the way,
no matter the sorrows
we face today.
