I can't promise many things
A country house
Wedding rings

I can't promise all that much
To love you forever
Or to bring you stuff

I can't promise you the sky
Or to be your friend
Or to never lie

I can't promise you'll be the first
To hear my doubts
Or heal your hurt

I can't promise I'll always be there
To give you comfort
Or secrets to share

I can't promise I'm not a mess
But I can promise I'll do my best.

I can't promise to fix all of your problems, but I can promise you that you won't have to face them alone.

Monsters

Do not fear the monsters, child
Underneath your bed
The real monsters-they walk about
And live inside your head.

Based on something I read that said "There's no such thing as monsters, only humans."

Something I Heard

If I can't catch you when you fall,
I can **** well make sure you land safely.

Mother

There is a woman that I know
She cares for me-she does
Reminds me of the better days
And greater ones to come
She moves with elegence and grace
And beauty like no other
"Who is this woman?", you may ask
This woman is my mother.

To my best friend, my caretaker, and the most beautiful woman I know. ❤

He does love us
He does hear us
He does know us
He does hear our cry

But He is not held
By the standards
Of what we believe is good
He has His own standards
To which we
Sinners
Creation
Must adhere.

*"He does not afflict willingly, nor grieve the sons of man."

Untitled 32

We are all
Like Simon-Peter
Sinking below the waves
And we are so
So close
To safety
If only we take the hand of our
Savior.

I Came Not

He came not for the wealthy, but poor
He came not for the healthy, but sore
For we're wealthy in Christ,
And healthy in life
And the road bound for sin is no more.

"I did not come for the healthy, but for the sick."
