Because of You
Morgan Holder Dec 2018
Because you picked me up when I struggled to get through
Because you healed my heart when it was thrown and shattered
Because you gave me hope when it seemed so out of reach
Because you filled me with peace when chaos flowed through my veins

Because you showed me the light when there was only darkness
Because you gave me comfort when my voice cried out in pain
Because you reassured me when the doubts screamed in my head
Because you kept me going when there seemed nowhere to go

Because you sustained me with strength when weakness became all I knew
Because you came and stayed when everyone else turned around and left
Because you gave me a purpose when life seemed so pointless
Because you restored my happiness when life seemed to ****** it away

Because you filled this emptiness when the void echoed with loneliness
Because you helped me let it all go when I gripped the tightest to hold on
Because you showed me the beauty of life when the world showed me nothing but hate and corruption
Because you gave me a better life when the old one fought to come back

Because I am nothing without you nothing but a hopeless being
Because only You could tear down my wall of pride, and instead build it back up with love and humbleness
Because of all this, I give you my life Lord
I will put all my fears and failures in Your hands, my worries that consume me, my pain that destroys me

You were always there, even when I rejected You
Because of all You are, my life, oh God, is yours

Guilt is a heavy chest
Morgan Holder Nov 2018
I wish I could go back and say sorry
I'm still young, back then I was even dumber
Forgive me for things I've said
Hand sight is 20/20
Most of all
Forgive me for things I do
Maybe the guilt will go away

Everyone needs friends
Morgan Holder Nov 2018
Everyone needs friends, they are there for you
When ever you are down they will pull you through
There to comfort you when began to cry
Right there by your side till the tears pass

Writer's block
Morgan Holder Nov 2018
Its not because
I don't have anything
Its because
I cannot find the proper way to say it

You were
Morgan Holder Nov 2018
You were the home
My soul searched for
My heart longed for
My eternity wished for
But you were the dust
Riding along with the wind
A song of farewell
A tear of goodbye

Life is Fine
Morgan Holder Jun 2018
I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn’t,
So I jumped in and sank.

I came up once and hollered!
I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn’t a-been so cold
I might’ve sunk and died.

But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!

I took the elevator
Sixteen floors above the ground.
I thought about my baby
And thought I would jump down.

I stood there and I hollered!
I stood there and I cried!
If it hadn’t a-been so high
I might’ve jumped and died.

But it was High up there! It was high!

So since I’m still here livin’,
I guess I will live on.
I could’ve died for love—
But for livin’ I was born

Though you may hear me holler,
And you may see me cry—
I’ll be dogged, sweet baby,
If you gonna see me die.

Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine

Live Life to the Fullest
Morgan Holder May 2018
Live this life to the fullest not worldly fullest
Live to aid others, live to love others as well.
Do not give up in this life, but allow the Holy Spirit.
To lead you through life, stand firm and trust God.
Live life overcome all the obstacles before you here.
For through the Holy Spirit you have the power needed.
To do great things through Christ our Savior God.
For we are Spiritual Super-heroes through Christ Jesus.
For we were not put here to fight the super villains'.
But to love them into repentances for love is our superpower.

To Fill Her Heart With Hope
Morgan Holder May 2018
She got up this morning,
sun shining through the blind.
She took a look in the mirror,
and something crossed her mind.

You weren't there to see her wake,
she didn't see your smile,
for when she does, she feels like
her days are all worthwhile.

She went into work today,
kids running through the halls.
She looked at plans for tomorrow
and is sad when nobody calls.

She got in her car to go home today.
On the radio she heard a song;
it reminded her of you
and how hurtful it is you're gone.

She went out with a friend tonight,
smiled and wore a brave face,
for all she really wants in life
is to have you in this place.

She gets a daunting feeling,
one that won't disappear.
What's the point in all of this?
What's the point when you're not here?

She went to sleep that night,
tried to prepare for the days ahead.
If she looks real careful,
you're there on your side of the bed.

Stroke her hair and tell her
that no matter what life throws,
you have a love like no other;
in death it continues to grow.

She got up this morning,
sun shining through the blind.
She took a look in the mirror,
and something crossed her mind.

You WERE there to see her wake,
and she could see your smile,
and when she did, she realized
you're only absent for a while.

She closes her eyes and in the dark,
she knows she'll see you again.
The only thing that troubles her
is not being able to say when.

For now she must be patient,
and one day her time will come,
and you'll be there to take her hand
and safely guide her home.

“Hope”
Morgan Holder May 2018
“Hope” is the thing with feathers -

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

— The End —
