I'm like a present- on Christmas
Only good for a month or two
What were you thinking?
Pretending-that I was wanted
Toying with my emotions

I am done-
Hiding
I am putting everything
On the line

I'm tired
Of being put last
So tired
Of being thrown away

I am not
Some piece of trash
I will be rebuilt
Ash by ash

The number 16
A constant reminder
Of what happened five
Short months ago

A lot has happened
Since he passed
Should have made- the time count
While it lasted

But instead-I took everything
For granted
And now I am left-
Completely stranded

Along way from home.

Words can not describe
How I feel
Because this feeling
Seems so unreal

I have never felt
This way before
I have never been so-
Unsure

And every time I see you
My heart beats out of my chest
Because I have
Something to confess

Greet each person
With a holy high five
Because through God's touch
You will feel alive

Every stranger leaves-
Their mark on you
And through that mark-
True beauty will shine through

Lift others up
When you are down
Because a helping hand-
Will soon come around

God is in me
and he will never leave
because anything is possible
as long as you believe

"Stay joined to me,
and I will stay joined to you."
because God's love
is unconditionally true.

His love-
a crystal spring
bigger and brighter
than any other thing.

the weeping window breaks
washing away past mistakes
the thunder claps
and the lighting strikes
threatening to shut off your light

the Rain-
cries a river
the Wind-
tries to catch its breath
Human-
just trying to get a break

and while the cards are stacked
in someone else's favor
I'm stuck-
doing their hard labor.

Tonight- he called
Down to me
To deliver a message
For the whole world to see

Envision a place
Where it is safe to dream
Jesus, our savior
Created the land of the free

And if you are ever in need
"Ask and you shall receive"
For Jesus- is the only one
That will never leave

When life gives you lemons
Make lemonade
Because Jesus our savior
Will always come to your aid

As long as you -continue to pray
