A Virtuous Woman
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
There are different types of women
As you may very well know
I am here to talk about her,
And her goodness I will show
A virtuous woman is
And talks of good things,
The joy of her love is strong,
And happiness it will bring
She works with her hands and
Takes good care of her home
She comforts her husband
When he is feeling alone.

She teaches her children and
Trains them very well
There is so much to be said
About a virtuous woman but
Not enough time to tell.
Proverb 18 and 22 said;
Whosoever finds a wife,
Which is a woman,
Find a good thing and obtain
Favor in the Lord;
They will remain together
Till death do them part.

A virtuous woman is not
Slothful in business
And serving the Lord
Doing wrong will not be
Found in her mind,
Or even in her heart.
Her husband trust her
Every step of the way,
He will never let her go
No matter what you say.

She dresses accordingly
To make her husband proud
She speaks with a gentle
Voice, not very loud.
She is always doing things to
Get her husband praise, sometimes
Just watching her
Will keep him so amazed.

A virtuous woman is strong
And worth more than
Rubies itself; and when
Her family hurt, she
Hurt more herself.
A woman shall be praised
If she is a woman that
Fear the Lord. A virtuous woman
Qualifies with mind, spirit,
Soul, and heart.

A letter to God
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Dear God,
I heard so much about you
Until it is burning me in my heart
I want to tell you how I feel, but
I don’t know where to start.
They say that you are the answer
To the way I feel inside
And once I am in you, I will
Have something to be my guide

I picked up the bible that
Had collected dust on the shelf
I decided to read it and find out for myself.
I read about how they nailed your
Precious body to the cross,
And the reason for this; was to
Save that which was lost.
Tears poured from my eyes as
Joy overtook my soul
I found a lot out about you that
I was never told.

I read about Job and
All that he went through
And the three Hebrew boys
That had all faith in you
I just had to write you Jesus
And let you know how I feel
No matter what I am told;
In my heart I believe you are real.
As long as I have your spirit,
I will never be alone
You told me if I hold on,
You would give me a new home.
I am taking you at your word
Because it means a lot to me
The day you died on Calvary,
It was to set me free.

Thank you for bringing me out of the world
And giving me a brand new life
I promise to keep your commandments
And do that which is right

I promise to teach my children
To obey every law
And not let a day go by
Without you being in their thoughts
I have to go now Jesus
And share you with someone else
As much as I want to,
I can’t keep you to myself.
I want to thank you for saving me,
And being my friend
I thank you for your love,
And your grace unto the end.

                              Love Your
                          Precious, Precious Child
I love writing to God, he is a great inspiration to me and in my life.

Maybe I hurt you and
Caused you to cry
I know the pain went deep
And this I won’t deny
I know I am to blame for
All your sleepless nights
The things that I said
I know it wasn't right

I never meant you any sorrow
And I never meant
To make you cry
I am the cause of your pain
I accept all the blame
I called you cheap words
And a lot of other stuff
Sometimes saying I’m sorry
Just isn't good enough

Somehow I felt what you
Felt deep inside
So much hurt and pain
Like a reflection in your eyes
Every breath you took
Filled with deceit and sorrow
Maybe your forgiveness
Will come on tomorrow

I can’t expect you to push
This all away
Maybe another time,
Another hour in the day
If I could take the words back
That caused you to cry
I would do it in a heart beat
And you know it’s not a lie

Nothing I can say right now
Will keep your heart still
I’m sorry, I apologize for
The way I made you feel
Even a broken heart is
One that’s hard to mend
This will follow me
Until the very end
In your eyes I am the enemy
And you have to do what you must
But sometimes saying I’m sorry
Just isn't good enough
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
Sorry I missed your Graduation
I really wanted to be there
I wanted you to see my face
And know how much I care
Instead I’ll send lots of hugs
Blessings from our father above
Happy graduation with all my love

My pen once again
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I finally decided to pick up my pen again
I don’t know where to start or where to begin
So much has happen since the last time I wrote
I manage to hold on, I manage to cope
I began to look around at the situation at hand
Trying to figure it out, trying hard to understand

On one side of me there’s this pain
And the other side bears so much rain
It’s hard to look up when the tears consonantly fall
It’s hard to feel big when you feel so small
The more my pen wrote the way that I feel
It put life into reality and I knew it was real
I couldn't handle the emotional state my pen brought
I couldn't handle the truth that entered my thoughts

So I gave up on writing and threw my pen away
Not knowing that these thoughts
Would come to mind again one day
I find myself setting here holding this pen
Tightly but firmly with all my strength in my hand
While my thoughts run freely like grains of sand
Afraid to write not knowing what will come out
Afraid to believe and afraid to even doubt

I vowed never to use this pen; never not again
It brings out the worse that suddenly has no end
I have to face the facts that no one quite
Understands me the way that my pen does
It shows me love and all the hatred in this world
If I fail to use my pen I will overflow with thoughts
Hidden from the truth and somehow forever lost
When I picked up my pen I realize it doesn't judge
It doesn't feed on hatred and never grant less love

So here I am with my pen working hard again
Putting thoughts on paper that simply has no end
May be my thoughts can help someone else
Maybe I’ll find me deep within myself
I don’t know what all this pen will say
Neither what it will tell me to write down today
I am anxious and my patient is wearing thin
Because I realize that in my hand
Here lies my pen once again.

Hope You Feel Better
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I dreamed that you were sick
And I hope you feel better
I pray you be healed
When you read my letter
Friendship like yours;
I do not see every day
You are my best friend
There is nothing else to say.

I want us to stay close
As close as we can be
When I am around you
I can always be me.
In my life you lift me
When ever I am down
Oh how things change
And suddenly turn around

You are my best friend,
Your presence I do miss
Please get well my friend
It hurt me to see you sick
What are friends for? They are always special---------

What if God took a vacation
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
What if you realize one day
You needed God’s help
And no matter how you tried
There was nothing to be felt
Sick on your bed and the
Doctor’s has given up hope
So with the little strength
Left in your hands you
Write someone a note

You said you look for God
And he were nowhere
To be found
At the point in your life you
Needed him he somehow
Let you down
Your children running wild
And there are bills to be paid
Drive by shooters, shoot
In your home, and now
You are afraid                                                                                  

So you feel like God has
Taken a vacation from all
The mess down here
Just the thought of God on
Vacation has arose
Your deepest fear
You call God with prayers
Only his answering machine
Picks up the slack
He said I’m on vacation
If you need anything it’ll
Wait till I get back

When God needed you
Just to spread the word
You refuse to do the job
Because you lost your nerves
He needed you to help your neighbor
And help the homeless out
You said I can’t give away my money
So you sat in a corner and pout
You thought you had it made                                                                  
With your brilliant education
It’s not helping you now
Cause God’s on vacation

So what if God took a vacation
And left this world alone
Where would any of us be
When he return home?
This is how God feels when
He gives you a task
He wants the job done and
He wants it done fast
So when God give
You a plan to carry
To the nation;
And you refuse his orders
Then to him you’re on vacation

Silent cry of loneliness
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Setting by the window
Feeling all alone
Wishing and hoping someone
Would call me on the phone
Feeling hurt, broke down
And so depressed
Looking at my life
Wondering what a mess

Empty on the inside
Is what I now feel
Realizing in my heart that
The pain is now real
No one will call or
Speak to me a word
The silence of loneliness
Now can be heard

Lonely and ashamed with
My head hanging low
Crying many tears flowing
Freely than before
All kind of thoughts keep
Flashing through my mind
And I try to defeat them
Time after time

Can anyone see the
Loneliness deep inside
Can you see within myself
What I try hard to hide
The silence of loneliness
Is pleading for help
Fighting with the emptiness
Deep within myself

This disease has left me
In a nerve wrecking state
Begging and pleading
Before it’s too late
Calling on someone to
Give me a hand
Someone who cares and
Really understand

What can I do, and
What is my choice?
Not even a sound,
Not even a voice
All that I see is a
Much horrifying end
This is what happens
When you trust loneliness
To be your friend.
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I am sorry that I missed
Your anniversary, and
I’m sorry I wasn’t there
I offer this card with love
To show you that I care

I know this card is late
And somehow over due
But this doesn’t stop me
From wishing happy
Anniversary to you

Life Highway
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I walked life highway
A long time ago
Reaching for the window,
Walking through the door
On my journey through life
I met a strong man
None have I seen before
Traveling through the land.

On my way through life
I met Mr. Pain
He changed my whole life;
It would never be the same.

In the middle part of my life
I found Mrs. Good,
She taught me the
Better part of life;
She did what she could.
Mr. Failure was waiting,
For me to slip and fall,
He left me with nothing,
He took it all.

I found myself crying
As I stood in the rain,
Smiling at me on my way down,
Stood Mr. Pain.
Life’s highway took me
Down a dark piece of land
When I thought
I could not make it;
I saw this strong man

He said failure will take it all,
And leave you with pain;
Good overcome it
And wash away the rain.
At the end of life highway
I could plainly see,
That the strong person by my side;
Was always me.
Sometimes we think that we are not strong, and unable to complete the task, but if we keep striving we will eventually find the inner most strength that we need to reach the top.

The smell of Christmas
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Looking through the kitchen
Window starring at the sky
Singing soft melodies
As the hour passes by
Snuggle beside my oven with
A cup of coffee in my hand
Watching the snowflakes fall
Like a blanket covering the land

The smell of pine aroma
Lingers in every room
And baking apple pies
All after noon
The smell of Christmas
Somehow fills the air
Lights twinkling on the tree
And toys everywhere

Friends and love ones
Sat down for a talk
With the holiday season
Embedded in their thought
Children around the fire
Place eating cookies, and
Drinking milk
Dad relaxing in his chair
After a long tiresome trip

The holiday season is
Bringing good cheer
And the smell of Christmas
Lingers near
On a cold winter morning
Drinking hot tomato soup
And a jolly old man in
His little red suit

Ham, potatoes, to
The table they bring
A feast so good, its
Fit for a king
Prayers and love
That fills the air
And the smell of
Christmas is everywhere.

Ingredients
  
First you start with the devil
1 cold heart

Now last but not least; you take the 3 cups of adultery and mix it with a lot of backbiting; you are on your way to hell now; Ain't this exciting?
This is a recipe that I would not use, nor would I sell, and if you use it today, it’s a recipe for going to hell!

When I got Married
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
When you are young
And deep in love
It doesn't really matters
What goes on in the world
You feel like you’re lifted
High and wise
There’s this tingling feeling
That tickles inside

This is what took place
When I met my first love
I felt like I could fly
And soar high above
I thought this was the man
I would share my whole life
And I thought in my heart
That I finally met Mr. Right

He treated me good the
Times we spent together
We were like glue                                                                                    
Stuck to a letter
Six months after we married
Things began to change
He got so angry if
I mention his name

When I tried to hug him
And show him that I care
He would ****** away and
Act like I wasn't there
When I got married we
Had so much fun
I was left wondering what
Happen to the bond

I found myself holding
His picture, crying and starring
Thinking if he didn't want me
Why did we get married?
Many tears I cried
Holding my pillow tight
Being misled into thinking
I met Mr. Right                                                                                              

I decided to visit my mother
Thinking I could clear my head
I returned home unexpected
To find another woman in my bed
It was stuffy that night
In the mist of the summer
Blind, stupid and ignorant to
Think I were the only woman

All the joy I ever felt even
When we first met
Left my soul, made me cold
And I’m not over it yet
When I first got married it
Turned out to be a joke
A silly little girl, easy prey
Has now lost all her hope

Even though I feel that the
Hurt will never go away
I still feel blessed to have
Known love in a special way                                                                            
I will never wed again
No matter what I do
I can’t take the pain
That I suffered through
My scares will last a lifetime
And for love I will not tarry
Because I will always remember
The first time I got married

Skeleton in my closet
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I had many sleepless nights
And walked a painful path
Sorrow, heartache and pain
I remembered from my past
I've done many things
I know wasn't right
And the skeletons in my closet
Came back to hunt my life
  
In my strongest hour, I
Found myself to be weak
And I shared all night passion
With strangers in the street
I thought they would love me
When I gave them my all
I didn't resist temptation, I
Answered many calls
  
I somehow fell in love
And met a wonderful man
If he found out about the
Skeleton in my closet
He wouldn't understand
My past is now the present
That has surface to the light
The place that kept my secrets
Is now what hunts my life
  
I bear the truth in my heart
Silent as a Lamb
When he finds out
The truth, will he
Know the type of
Woman that I am
  
The skeletons in my closet
I kept them locked away
To ashamed to speak of them
Until this very day
If I tell him the truth
His love I will lose
I feel like I am trapped
I feel like a fool
  
If I had the power to go
Back and change my life
I would have no pain
And no more sleepless nights
I would have no secrets
For no one to understand
Only joy and peace, somewhere
Happy with my man!

God Understands
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
In life, we tend to make excuses
For all the things we did
And blame our childhood
It started when we were kids
What about being raised on the right
Track in church since the age of 2
How do you explain why you are
Doing, or do the things you do
God gives us choices and he
Knows the aftermath
But we use God’s grace as an excuse
To choose the wrong path

God understands that loneliness
Works best for me
I have random love partners not
Thinking of death or STD
God understands that I drink to
Pull away from reality’s hell
Not once thinking about the
Organs that will fail
God understands my need for
Someone to hold me at night
Do you think he will send a woman
Or man you constantly have to fight

God understands us all
He made both me and you
He wants us to know
That he understands
Every situation and problem
We go through
Have you ever thought what
Would happen if you fell short
Of God’s grace and glory one day
Have you ever thought what would
Happen if God turns a deaf
Ear when you pray

A thought you don’t want to answer
Or really want to know
Show a little gratitude to the man
That caught you when you
Felt like letting go
Make wiser choices
And do what’s right
Don’t be that worrisome person
That only calls when they
Want something at night

We all have a manual, (the Bible)
On how to have a smoother life and
Constant protection by God’s hand
So read the guideline and get more
Pride about yourself, and stop excusing
Your habits with well----------
God understands.

Cheer Up
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Today is a new day and
The sun shines so bright
The smell of roses and
Everything seems right
Oh what a mighty color
Is God’s perfect sun
You should be outside
Having so much fun

Instead your head
Hangs low to the floor
Sad, teary, feeling much
Broken than before
The smile you wear is
Turned upside down
Cheer up, be happy
Stop feeling down

You got so much to live for
In this dark but happy world
Take the time to look around
And simply enjoy the love
You think you are the only one
Going through many things
Cheer up and deal with
The troubles life brings

You will see that the road
Is broader and wide
All the strength you need
You will find inside
Look around you and see
That this is a good day
You can make it
If you only press your way

Turn that frown into a smile
Look up, live, and rest a while
Let everyday be brighter
And bonded together
With peace, and a smile
That will reign forever

My Crystal Ball
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I have this little crystal ball
I’m afraid to look inside
Afraid to see the future
Afraid of what it hides
I don’t want to see
What tomorrow may bring
It may bring happiness
Heart aches and pain

It just might show me things
I do not want to see
Causing sorrow to over take
A great part of me
What must I do with my
Little crystal ball
Should I look inside and
Answer to its call?

Maybe I will see; where
Time is no more
Or maybe it will be
Better days then before
Part of me wants to know
What tomorrow will bring
It could hold riches, or
Almost any thing

To want to know the future
They tell me it’s a crime
It’s something that bothers
Me; consonantly on my mind
My crystal ball stares at me
While setting on the shelf
I am tempted to look
I just can’t help myself

Trying to see the future
Is like a hard riddle
Keep messing with the present
You get caught up in the middle
I think I’ll throw my crystal ball
Far out in the sea
Cause only God knows my future
And what’s in store for me

God the perfect man
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
When I need a shoulder to cry on
God is the perfect man
He knows how to comfort me
He truly understands.
When I reach the end of the road
And the valley I cannot see
God gives me clear sight;
He always walks with me.

He points me in the direction
That I should and ought to be
He lifts my spirits when I'm down,
He always encourage me
Sometimes life takes us down a
Road that we can’t understand
God is there to guide us
He is the perfect man.

God gives strength to the weak,
And a light to find your path
God is the perfect man
He always understands.
He rocks me to sleep at night
When I had a bad day
God is the perfect man
What else can I say?

He heal the sick
And raise the dead
He always did just what he said.
There is none other like
Him; he rules this land
You will never find another;
Because; God is the perfect man!

The Preacher
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
The preacher is placed here
To feed God’s sheep
To give them God commandments
To always keep
To pray for the sick
And spread God’s love
Carrying this message
To the ends of the world

The preacher is God’s counsel
Listening to our problems
Seeking God for answers
On how he can solve them
The preacher has to speak
The word, in and out of season
He can’t stop the message
For any other reason

I will require the blood at your
Hand said the Lord;
If you don’t feed my people
And establish righteousness
In their heart

A preacher work
Simply has no end
As long as the world exists
There will always be sin

For nothing in this world

A Mother's Love
Lillie Williams Sep 2016
When you were growing inside of me
I felt proud to carry a life
I done everything just right
And prayed every night
I prayed that you would be strong
Healthy, cute and brave
I ask God to strengthen you child
For this is how I prayed

When you were sick I watched
Over you day and night
Never for one second were
You ever out of my sight
I rubbed your tiny head and  
Wiped your runny nose
Covered you carefully
To keep you from the cold

I kept you from things I thought
Would hurt you in this world
When you have kids of your own
You will understand a mother’s love
I wanted only the best for you
And you know I still do
I see a lot of me everyday
That’s now created in you

I’ll put you through school
To have a good occupation
Granting it through a great education
There is nothing I wouldn’t give
To see you happy in life
A real good job, a prayer life with God
Not to give up but stand and fight

All these things and more I would give
To you in this wonderful world
But right now child, just accept a mother’s love

Sunshine, freedom, strength
With red cherries and wines

Since there’s only one wish
I’ll keep you in mind
And grant you your wish

When you came to me
The Angels did shout
I put a block on the enemy,
And to hurt you I wouldn't allow
I took you under my arms to
Shield and protect you from harm
And all the comfort you needed,
You could find it in my arms
I wiped away your tears all
The nights you sat and cried
I gently took my finger and
Dried your weeping eyes.

I listen to all your problems and
Had compassion in my heart
And now you turn your back
To me, pulling me apart.
I’m calling all backsliders
To come back home
I don’t care what you did;
I forgive you for your wrong

I’m calling all backsliders
To come back and live
All my riches and
Love I have to give
I watched over you,
And refuse to let you go
My spirit followed you,
And this you failed to know.
I’ll be your shelter and
Never leave you alone,
I’m calling all backsliders to
Turn around and come back home.

What Happen to the Joy?
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I remember when the world
Was filled with love
Laughter, kindness, friendship
And amazing hugs
We use to help and show
Affections toward our brother
Now we fight, and
Bad mouth one another

There was a time when
We care what went on
And parents wouldn't leave
Their children alone
Preachers was concern when
A Christian fell down
Help would always come
From miles around

What happen to the joy that
Use to be in this world
What happen to the laughter
The kindness and the love
Why are we killing, and
Destroying precious life
What makes us argue, and
What makes us fight

We use to borrow a cup
Of sugar from our neighbor
Join hand in prayer
Setting at the breakfast table
We would help each other
As far as we were able
With a kind heart we would
Always return the favor

Envy, jealously, hatred, and lust
Has penetrated our heart
Relationship, friendship, and
Marriages torn apart
What happen to the joy
That made us what we are
We once spoke of peace
But now what we see is war

What happen to the times when
Your child could play with mine
And go to school in peace without
Someone committing a crime
What happen to the safety
We once felt in this world
And where is the peace, and
What happen to the love

What happen to the smiles we
Once wore upon our face
What happen to the moments
What happen to the days
What happen to the way
Times use to be,
When we felt excited, happy
And free??????????

What I want for Christmas

What I want for Christmas
Is not material things
I don’t want a watch
Or a diamond ring
I don’t want a potato pie
Or a fruit cake
What I want for Christmas;
The chef can’t bake

I want to fill this void that
Gives me restless nights
I’m missing something;
I know I need in life
I want something that
Burns in my soul
Something that even I
Can’t control

What I want for Christmas
I dream of every night
What I want for Christmas;
Is Jesus in my life!

Why call the Psychic line, Jesus gives
The information free.

It takes up too much time
So you pick up the telephone
And call the psychic line
I lost my wife, is my husband coming back?
I need to call the psychic line to get
The basic facts.
  
What you do not understand is
What you fail to see
The answer lives in Jesus who
Died on Calvary
Never be quick to believe, what’s on TV
And never forget the man
That died to set you free

The answer is not in the psychic line
So erase it from your head.
The answer lives in a man that
God raised from the dead
If you believe I speak the truth, then
Get your business straight
And divorce the psychic line before
It’s too late.

The Bible
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
The Bible is more important
Then you think it is
The Bible is a work of art
And does what it will
There’s so much to learn
If you only read the word
You’re find something out
You have never heard

You will find adventure
Romance and a lot more
The Bible will lead you to
Places you never been before
There are comforting words
When you feel this is the end
If you are feeling lonely
I’m sure you’re find a friend

Sometimes we feel that
There’s sorrow in this life
Darkness everywhere
We can hardly see the light
Sometimes we pick it up
And put it back on the shelf
Knowing all the time that
The word is your help

Stop ignoring the word
And act like we care
When we do decide to
Read the Bible; it just
Might not be there
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Congratulation with my
Blessing and my love
Who have achieved and accomplish
The first part of your world
You made it through the first grade,
The third, and now twelfth
Congratulation: I know
You are proud of yourself

God made an angel, and
You are special in this world
With parents pushing you
Along with prayers and love
You mastered the best in your field,
Knowing that you can learn it
Congratulations child
Hallelujah! You’ve done it!!

Yesterday
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Yesterday I felt that I
Could soar up high
Today I feel down
I really want to cry
Yesterday I thought the
World was in my hand
There is so much pain today
I really don’t understand

Waking up today from a
Restless night of sleep
Only to find that yesterday
Has fallen down on me
Yesterday I had peace
And a warm gentle smile
Today I wear a frown
And nothing seems worthwhile

Yesterday I thought that
I could win this race
Today I find that things are
Thrown back in my face
If I could take yesterday
And switch it for today
The frown I wear upon my face
Would be a smile today

Yesterday I visualize the
Perfect life for me
Today my vision is cloudy
And there’s nothing left to see
Why is there so much pain
Traveling through this world?
What part of my life
Can I rely on love?

I cannot bring back yesterday
Because today is gone
Why did it leave me, and
Left me here alone?
Today on my bed
A lonely person lay
But I will still be trying
To bring back yesterday

Lord why would you want me?
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Lord I have sinned, and done many things wrong
I lay before you as dirt, on the floor of my home
I spoke bad words, and lied every now and then
I been down for so long, I feel this is the end.
I never been to jail, but yet I am not free
Tell me Lord, why would you want me?
  
Lord I feel that I am not worthy to be call your child
I get so mean sometimes, it hurt me to smile
While you are looking down Lord, tell me what you see,
And why would you want an old sinner like me?
  
The Lord replied;
  
I made you in my own image,
I made you to be a man
I made you to rule over beast,
and throughout the land.
I sent my son Jesus down to die on the cross
To save an old sinner like you that was lost.
Come to me, and let me give you rest
Let me clean those filthy rags, and
Make you at your best
I don’t care who you are, or what you now see
By the blood of Jesus, you are now set free.
When I look down I see an Angel to be
And you ask; Lord why do you want me?
  
I am your father, and you are my child
Let me help you, and give you a new smile.
There is eternal life, and everlasting peace
In heaven you rejoice, are happy and free.
My child you are strong, and no longer weak,
You now have the answer you so faithfully seek.

My kids left me here
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Looking out the window while
Tears run down my face
Seems like years have passed
Many, Many days
I stare at the photo on
The dresser by my bed
Empty on the inside
Feeling like I’m dead

I know I am old, and
Feeling sorry for myself
There is pain in loneliness
And sorrow in death
This is not my home I
Don’t belong in this place
My kids left me here
Because of my age

They say I get in the way and
The burden of me goes deep
When I drop things
I never pick it up
And their kids can never sleep
I scrub floors, worked my
Fingers to the bone
Trying to put them through school
And give them a decent home

A lady came to visit one day
I still know not her name
She said: where is your family
Is the reason still the same?
Seem like you haven’t had a visitor
In a long, long time
Things look worse to you
But believe me, it’s fine

My kids left me here, ten years ago
Why they left me here
I really want to know
I did my best to raise them well
Where they are now, only
God can tell
I got a letter from my daughter
Almost five years this day
She ramble on about her happiness
But nothing else to say

Why did they leave me
In this place call home
For ten years now I
Have been left alone
How can you put away someone
You say that you love
How can you leave them
Unhappy in this world

Will I see my kids again
Before it’s too late
Will I be able to picture their face
Before I walk through Heaven Gates
I will always hold them close
In my heart so dear
The only thing I know: is
That my kids left me here

Jesus is the Answer
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
To win this race I
Need strength and power
I need the hand of Jesus
Every minute in the hour
I need his loving touch
To start me on my way
I am thankful for his son
As I honor him today
  
Holiness he desire to
Live it in my life

Do that which is right

To every woman and man
  
Never forget to bow down
Humble yourself to pray

Take it day by day

You were never There
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
At night I sat and wonder
Just how some things can be?
And I try to understand
Everything I see.
Each night my pillow
Is wet with lonely tears,
And I say to myself, do
He understand what I feel?

When I struggle through life,
I could never feel
That you care.
The days that I hurt inside
You were never there.
I push my way
Through heart ache,
Sadness, and pain,
When I needed you the most;
You left me standing
In the rain.

Cold and lonely nights
I snuggle in bed
While visions of you
Flash through my head.
Did you see it in my eyes,
And did you even care?
When I needed you
The most, you
Were never there.

I gave you a family
I made the perfect wife,
I prayed hard for you
  Each and every night.
  I struggle with this pain,
In my own selfish way
And I dreamed every night
That you would
Somehow stay;

Now the time has come
That I have to let go,
It’s killing me inside,
More than you will ever know.
When I look at your picture
I can’t help but stare
The answer is plain and clear;
You were never there.

You Made It
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
You made it my child, my faithful son
Your work for me is well done
You gave to the poor
No matter what the need be;
And when they needed a comforting
Word; you always spoke of me

You shared me with your
Family and friends
You spoke of salvation unto the end
You shall live your life happy and free
Because of the honor you gave to me
You served me well,
You gave it your best
Today in paradise you are
My honored guest

You made it through sickness
Heartaches and pain
You spoke not a word when
They spotted your name
Hardship and trials, you went
Through them all,
You didn’t hesitate to my glorious call

You made it home, this is
The last round
Through all your goodness
You have earned your crown!

When Eve bit the fruit
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
When Eve bit the fruit that
God had forbid her not
It put a lot of pressure on us
And things got really hot
Sin then came forth to
Tear the people apart
Satan had the perfect opportunity
To work in our heart

Eve gave the fruit to Adam
And he bit it to
Now it’s hard to get a man to trust
A woman no matter what we do
When Eve bit the fruit
The world changed forever more
Now men try to get us back
And even up the score

God help us; and
Stretch forth thy hand
Help our men to forgive us
And help them understand
Though Eve and Adam bit
The fruit it certainly not the end
God sent his son Jesus down
To wipe away our sin!!!!!

Forbidden Love
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Every time he sees her
His heart skips a beat
Just the thought of her
Makes him tremble
In his speech
Gracefully she walks
Slowly across the floor
His heart is telling him
There could be so much more

At night he dreams of her
Deeply in his sleep
This is the only way
They can secretly meet
The morning that he rise
Wiping tears from his eyes
Knowing this is forbidden love
And the truth remains inside

He knows this love is wrong
And it could never be
How he fell in love with her
His eyes could never see
He wonders in his mind
How did this passion manifest
His love is in the wrong place;
Oh what a mess!

He tries to fight this passion
Even though it’s not right
But still she creeps in his dreams
When he falls asleep at night
This passion over powered him
Completely took control
Where he go from here;
I guess he only knows

Many times before this
Feeling he tried to fight
How can he live with the fact
That she is not his wife?
She belong to someone else
But do she feel the same?
I hope he understands
That this is not a game
How this turns out
I guess he only knows
Passion has trapped him
And completely took control

Morning Air
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
There’s something in
The morning air
Love and friendship
Is everywhere
People smiling, and
Shaking hands
Singing and dancing
Throughout the land

The scent of roses
Fill my nose
Chills and goose bumps
From the cold
The smell of coffee
Lingers there
Pancakes and Waffles
In the morning air

Prayers and blessing
Hanging near
The morning tulip
Bright and fair
Rain and sleet
Falling down
While Ice and snow
Covers the ground
Children playing
Here and there
Bringing Morning love
To fill the air
The morning air is special, waking up smelling the breeze starting the morning off laughing, singing, dancing, and shaking hands. :-)

My father gave it to me
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
My father was a good man
God rest his soul
My father was the best father;
But one day he got old
He loved his family
In a kind and gentle way
My father is no longer with us
He gently slipped away.

He gave me something
That I will proudly wear
There is nothing like it
And none can compare
I will wear it with pride
Because I am free
I will wear it with dignity
Because my father gave it to me

  I will keep it polish
And pass it to my son
And he will wear it proudly
Until the day is done
I will do my best to let everyone see
That my father loved and passed it on to me

Many years have come and gone
Since my father slipped away
I hope he is proud of me
Because I wear it proud today
Father I thank you for trusting me with
The most important thing in your life


I promise to protect it
And always treat it right
Now I have a son father;
And I will do the same
Thank you always father; we
Proudly wear your name

If God
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
If God can forgive me
Then why can’t you
If God say you are beautiful
Because you are mine
Why can’t you encourage
Me some of the time
If God has compassion
Deep for me in his heart
Would it hurt you to be like him?
Not selfish but smart

If God can take my tears
And turn them into joy
Why must you dream
Of things to destroy
If God made this world
And put us in it
There is no respect of person
Because God children are many

If God made the sea
And the ocean so wide
The least you can do is
Get rid of your pride
If God heal the sick and
Surly raised the dead
What about the five
Thousand souls he fed

I am your sister or
Maybe even your brother
Put aside hatred and
Let’s love one another
If God did all these things
He did it for a reason
That we are to win souls
No matter what the season

If God can look at me
And not see race
Why you judge me when
You look in my face
If God can see who I am
When he look in my eyes
Why can’t you except what
God made me inside

God can do all these things
Because he is God
But what’s your excuse for
Your mean and cold heart
God is an example of how
We should live on earth
This is why he came, and
The reason for his birth

If we can be like God, as far
As our souls is able
We can laugh about our troubles
Around the welcome table
Knowing that through our trial
And every single stone
Patient brought forth joy and
We should do no wrong.

Tribute to my Mother
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Nothing can compare to
The great loss that I feel
Nothing can compare
To the love I had to give.
I often think about the precious
Smile on mother’s face
And the motherly and daughterly
Talk, that went on for days.

She knew how much I love her,
I could tell it in her voice,
I could tell how much she loved me;
I could feel it in my heart.
Sometimes when I felt lonely
Or even burden down
All I had to do is think about her,
And she would be around.

Mother would take her gentle finger,
And wipe the tears from my eyes
The heavy burden was lifted,
And I felt better inside.
My dear sweet mother; even
Though you are gone
I feel that you are free
But your kindness and
Courage will live on in me.

All the things you taught me,
Are kept silently in my mind
And it will keep me stronger
Each and every time
Saying good-bye is something
That has to be done
Losing a mother is never easy,
This I have learned.

If you are looking down from
Heaven and hear the words I say;
Peace is still:
My mother has gone away.
No matter what words be spoken,
On tomorrow or today
My heart is broken,
But I’ll love you anyway.

Twists and turns
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Sometimes we
Get let down
With all the twist
And turns in life
To keep your head
Above water
You are ready and
Determine to fight
You find the cost
To feed your family
Is more than you can bear
And the worries shows on
Top of your head
With black and grey hair

You try to keep up with
The browns afraid of
Being left behind
You can’t afford that
Big white house
You don’t even
Have a dime
Your wife is on
Your back and
Your baby needs
A pair of shoes
You find yourself in
So much trouble and
Now you got the blues

Your job doesn't
Pay enough money
So now you are talking
About leaving
When you think you
Got it under control
This week you
Didn't break even
Now your kids are sick
From playing out in the cold
Little Johnny has a fever
With a red and runny nose
You feel bad inside because
Others have money to burn
Hospital garnish your check
Because you had no insurance

You bow your head
With a honest heart
Fighting tears as you pray
Sleepless nights, teary eyes
Believing there must be a way
Because life takes away
Whatever you earn
With all its twist and turns
Now you wonder
How some can make it
And other can hardly stand
Half supporting your family
Makes you feel less of a man

You can’t stand the pressure
So you want to go back home
There are times in the day when
You prefer to be left alone
So you figured out that life
Waits patiently for no one
A lesson that is well learned
And life doesn't play fair
With all its twists and turns

Creeping In The Night
Lillie Williams Aug 2016
Silence of the night, bring so much fear
He stole; he took, from me what is dear
That creaking old board that’s loose in the hall
The monster that tried to hinder my call
Mama; help me, this isn’t right
Your man in my room creeping in the night
Don’t you care that your baby is being *****
Don’t you care how her world is being shaped?

How can you lay there mama and hear my screams
How can you let this monster in my dreams?
How can your heart say you love me so much
But yet you let this monster fill me with hurt
I’m your little girl; you should keep me in your sight
But you let your monster creep in my room at night

The smell of his breath, and deceit in his mind
You let this monster **** me time after time
I’m afraid mama, can’t you see I’m scared
Please keep this monster out of my bed
I hear you crying in the room next door
How long will you lay there, how much more?

Why let him ruin your little girl’s life
Why let him creep in my bed at night
Every time he touch me I call out your name
You stand outside my door crying won’t do a thang
I cry all the time because I’m filled with fright
Cause your man won’t stop creeping in my room at night

How do I stop the pain?
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Life must go on no
Matter what Is real
There must be an answer
To the way that I feel
How do I stop the pain,
That burn deep in my soul
How can I be complete,
How can I be whole ?

No one ever told me that
Love could make me sad
And I did not know that
It could hurt so bad.
When I see him with someone
Else tears began to flow
Does he see how bad I hurt,
Is it possible for him to know?

It should be me that
He kisses every night
Am I wrong to feel this way,
Or could I be right?
I feel like I am stranded
Outside in the rain
How can I get over him,
How do I stop the pain?
So many sleepless nights,
And I hate getting out of bed,
I will always be with you;
That’s what he said.

Pain makes you feel like
You are already dead,
It makes you feel like
Rocks in your head
Can it be this serious,
Or is it just a game
Will I ever know;
How do I stop the pain?
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
I sat in the park
Thinking of you
Can’t get you off my mind
No matter what I do
I see you with another
As you drive by
My head hang in shame
I bow my head and cry
I can’t see much, because
My eyes is fill with tears
When you walk by me
Did you know how I feel?

Every day at twelve O’clock
I come to this place
Sometimes I sat; waiting
On you for days
When we were walking
Barefoot through the sand
You could tell that you
Are my only man

Now you walk away
And finds another
Someone you chose
To be your lover
Where can I go,
What must I do?
I am not use to
Living without you

I am hurt and
Feeling all alone
Let her go; I’m yours
Please come home
I will forgive you
For walking away
I want you, I need you
What else can I say?
Rescue me from sitting
Here feeling blue
Come back to me;
I’m not use to living
Without you!

My Book Is Open
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Facing reality to night and I
Don’t like what I see
A man setting on a big throne
With his eyes pointed at me.
So many people standing around with
Their heads hanging low
I’m afraid what the Lord may say
So in my heart I must go
I tried to hide behind the crowd
Didn’t want to know my fate
The lord cried “come back!”
For you my child it’s too late

I starred at the other people faces
And we all had the same look
There’s no hope for us when
God judge us from his book
Liars, backbiters, fornicators, and all
Slipping in the darkness, led to your fall
My book is open so said the Lord
Why didn’t you stop and examine your heart
You can’t be with me, I forbid all sin
I warn you daily before your end

My book will judge your every secret fault
Everything you took, everything you bought
Beyond this door lies another door
Once entered, your time is no more
Every secret thing you thought you hid
Every no good thing you ever did
My book is open to send you in a mist
Where you will never ever exist
You hated your neighbor, lied to your friend
Took church tithes, and didn’t amend
You took from the poor and didn’t care
You ignored me every time I were there

You slept at night with lust on your mind
I tried to correct you time after time
My book is open to judge you and I will
Your time is up, your faith now sealed
My word will warn your family and friend
If they fail to listen; my book will open again.

So relax and kick off your shoes
Fill your hearts with joy and

Pain
Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Pain is an army that fights
Without Honor
It travels in packs attacking
Your heart by the numbers
It will not pull punches
It let them all fall
It stands out, stick out
Like a tower, it’s tall
It’s to blame for most tears
And what we call our fears

Pain is strong, fearless, and holds
Strong like a leech
Very few break free and win in defeat
Never fight with pain, a fight you won’t win
You struggle all your life and
Pain prevails in the end

Lillie Williams Jul 2016
Let this be the time of year
We try to love each other
Let this be a time to have
Forgiveness for our brother
Let’s put our heads together
And come up with a plan
Something that will bring
Peace throughout the land
Let us stand up and say
We love this country
Bring peace for everyone
We’re dying by the hundreds

Let this be a time that
Someone stand up and agree
That our country is the
Country of the free
Call on congress or
To the senate write a letter
Let them know that this
Time we will pull together

Let this be a time to stand
Up with dignity and pride
Let the world know we
Got freedom in our eyes
We can accomplish whatever
We set out to be
Let this be a time we
Stand together and AGREE!!!
