She stood outside a Church one Morn,
deciding if she should go in;
Would they judge her for the clothes she wore,
or see through her lifetime of sin?
~
The people hurriedly passed her by,
without a glance or a smile;
So she lit another cigarette,
and decided to wait for awhile.
~
They were all wearing fancy clothing,
she knew she could not compare;
With the ragged dress she was wearing,
nor the wilted rose in her hair.
~
Another person passed by her,
should she enter or simply go home;
But her spirit was yearning for love,
a love she had never known.
~
She decided to go in anyway,
no matter how ***** she felt;
Their lofty glances encompassed her,
as her tender heart started to melt.
~
Where was the love she'd expected,
the love she thought she'd find there;
She sat alone in a Pew,
as the Congregation just stared.
~
Then she saw a Cross o'er the Pulpit,
oh how her Spirit was touched;
For Jesus was hanging upon it,
then she knew His love was enough.
~
She quickly rushed to the Altar,
not caring what everyone thought;
She slowly bowed her head to pray,
and she found the forgiveness she sought.
~
The Pastor knelt down beside her,
he seemed to know what to say;
"My child, if you have repented,
all your sins have been washed away.
~
She left that building soon after,
as a peace came over her Soul;
She didn't stay for the message,
for God gave her one of His own.

Nightmares come to me,
when at last I go to sleep;
Monsters I have to live with,
disguised as little Sheep.
-
At first they seem quite harmless,
I feel no threat at all;
But then their appearance changes,
their teeth turn ten feet tall.
-
Their bodies, covered in fur,
from their heads down to their toes;
Where they all do come from,
I truly do not know.
-
Their eyes are crimson red,
their claws as sharp as knives;
I curl up in a ball,
trembling with fright.
-
Finally I awaken,
sweat runs down my cheeks;
I swear I'll never sleep again,
to avoid these ghastly Beasts.

These four walls,
can't hold me back;
For it's not courage,
that I lack.
-
I stay because,
I'm needed here;
I always want,
them to be near.
-
And though I'm needed, everyday;
I need them too,
in my own way.

I went to my new Therapist,
She seemed so very nice;
But divulging how I felt inside,
I truly had to think twice.
-
She ask me many questions,
about my childhood;
I answered them quite truthfully,
I did the best I could.
-
It was not fun to delve into,
the memories of my past;
But I knew I had to do it,
if I wanted to heal quite fast.
-
The problems I was facing, plagued yesterday and today;
I felt just like a failure,
letting them get in my way.
-
When the session finally ended,
I sort of felt complete;
For the first in my life,
someone sat and listened to me.

Whenever I think of a Mother,
one person comes to my mind;
She is full of love and compassion,
and I'm so glad that she's mine!
~
I can proudly say, without a doubt,
that my Mother-In-Law is my Mom;
For she treats me like her own daughter,
in spite of all of my wrongs.
~
She comforts me when I'm distraught,
she wipes away tears that I cry;
She's wise beyond the years she's lived,
she encourages me when I try.
~
And even though her life's been hard,
she still shows her love to me;
Happy Mother's Day, my sweet Mother,
thank you for everything

I'm sorry I'm a burden,
count the hours, count the days;
'Til I won't be here anymore,
and off your shoulders falls this weight.
-
I hate the way you look
at me,
when I ask something from you;
Seems lately I can see that look,
in everything I do.
-
I know I must leave soon,
it's better for both of us;
for I lost something you've never had,
a simple thing called trust.

No love could quite compare,
with the love I found in you;
And every time you look at me,
I know this much is true.
~
You touch me in such places,
where no one's ever graced;
Your embrace is soft and gentle,
and can not be replaced.
~
Whenever I am with you,
I feel so safe inside;
You hold me when I laugh,
you hold me when I cry.
~
Forever I can see us,
our future's intertwined;
I am so glad you found me,
I am so glad you're mine.

They'd stand before a Judge,
their trial would soon begin;
These Saintly men of God's,
would be judged, but once again.
~
The Prosecutor entered the room,
so confident and strong;
Beelzebub, the evil one,
would bring up all their wrongs.
~
He'd point his crooked finger,
and name all their mistakes;
All the failures of their past,
he'd remind these Godly Saints.
~
Then entered the Great Almighty,
the one and only, I AM;"
He would have the victory,
o'er the one who had been ******.
~
The Courtroom doors then opened,
and in walked Jesus Christ;
He would be their Advocate,
disproving Satan's lies.
~
"We all know why we're here,"
Satan grinned in sheer delight;
"To prove these Men of God's,
are imposters of the light."
~
He pointed his crooked finger,
at each one he cheerfully named;
"You see this man before you,
he's lied for his own gain.
~
And this woman is a sinner,
she cheated on her spouse;
She practiced to deceive him,
no remorse did she announce."
~
Now Jesus had enough of him,
so He slowly began to speak;
"You do know, Heavenly Father,
at times all men are weak."
~
God gave Jesus a knowing nod,
for He saw them white as snow;
No sins had they committed,
no sins did their pasts show.

I do not wish,
to ever be touched;
For the pain
spills out,
it's simply too much.
-
Touches make me feel,
***** and confused;
Since I was but a child,
of maybe one or two.
-
They robbed me of my innosence,
they robbed me of my youth;
In the dark of the night,
in my dingy little
room.
-
The nightmares unfolded,
until I was nine;
They invaded my privacy,
stole a chunk of my life.

I just don't understand, Satan very well;
He gave up everything he had,
to secure a place in Hell.
-
He began as a beautiful Angel,
then sin crept in his heart;
He wished to be, just like God,
so the Father yelled, "Depart!"
-
He took one- third of the Angels,
as they all fell from the sky;
And as they all were falling,
it looked like sheeds of black ice.
-
Into the fiery furnace,
the Demons were all thrown;
For what you surely reap,
you will ultimately sow!

You and I are different,
not cut from the same cloth;
We **** heads everyday now,
both wanting to be the boss.
~
You have your set of interests,
and I have my own too;
Together we are night and day,
things we have in common are few.
~
We simply have no chemistry,
and a lack of passion we share;
The tension felt between us both,
lingers heavily in the air.
~
It's not often we see "eye-to-eye,"
so we happen to clash every time;
For when you're angry, you explode,
while I simply sit there and cry.
~
Pain we've both dealt ourselves,
is not easy for us to forget;
It holds us down like an Anchor,
and we drown on our own regrets.
~
No longer can we feel our love,
that use to stick like glue;
Perhaps it died, along with trust,
each one of us once knew.

From morning until evening,
and all throughout the night;
The men of our Armed Forces,
are standing by to fight.
~
They give of their own selves,
to protect this precious land;
They do it with conviction,
they do the best they can.
~
Maintaining freedom is their goal,
with the tears and sweat they shed;
They fight through their own tears,
and they'd do it all again.
~
With guns in hand and ***** boots,
they trample through the mud;
Defending our great country,
this land they dearly love.
~
Singing, "God Bless America,"
it gets them through the day;
And when they go to bed at night,
this is what they pray.

I gently kiss,
your voluptuous lips,
and I find myself,
in total bliss.
-
The love in your eyes,
bares no disguise;
Neither does it come,
with deceipt or lies.
-
You tightly hold,
me in your
arms;
Where I feel safe,
and free from harm.
-
When we go to bed,
I lay upon your chest,
how could I ask for more;
A loving man,
who understands,
exactly what loves for.

I'll always be your woman,
you'll always be my man;
Someone whom I can lean on,
someone who understands.
~
Through the good times and the bad,
you're always there for me;
You're everything I've wanted,
you're everything I need.
~
When I look into your eyes,
I see our future there;
It lies within your heart,
I see it in your stare.
~
I feel the same as you,
you've captivated me;
And when you kiss me softly,
t'is all I'll ever need.
~
We're meant to be together,
Soulmates we both are;
For you touch that special place,
hidden deeply in my heart.

A Christian met a Witch,
while walking down the street;
She slyly squinted at him,
"Your God does not scare me!"
~
The Christian shook his head,
at the words this old Hag said;
He chuckled as he said to her,
"We'll see when you are dead.
~
God could easily chew you up,
then spew you from His mouth;"
The Crone grinned, as she said to him,
"Tis lies you're speak about.
~
My master's greater than yours,
and soon you'll find this out;"
"I rebuke you in Jesus' name,"
the Christian began to shout.
~
"Satan has nothing to offer you,
He's playing you like a Chess game;
I'll not compare my God to yours,
now return from whence you came!"
~
She trembled in utter terror,
"This isn't over yet;"
The man of God, folded his arms,
"You wanna make a bet?"

Down at
the High School,
there is a ghastly beast;
His name is known as Janitor,
a Wolf disguised as a Sheep.
-
He preys on all the girls,
trying to gain their trust;
To have them for his friends,
was to him a total must.
-
But one day he approached me,
his words were sticky as glue;
Oh the things he wanted done,
I'd never, ever do.
-
I reported him to the Principal,
some other girls did too;
He was locked up in a cell,
with his new roomate named Lou.

As I began to pray one night,
on bended knee I fell;
A peace I could comprehend,
came o'er me as I knelt.
~
God calmed my weary heart and soul,
as He began to speak;
I listened to each Word He said,
although my Faith was weak.
~
"My Child, I feel how sad you are,
and it makes me saddened too;
But don't dismay, for there are things,
I have for you to do.
~
I wish for you to tell Mankind,
that I'm the great, I AM;
Their lives will be much easier,
if they'd only take my hand.
~
And miracles occur each day,
sometimes in the Midnight hour;
And if they ask Me in their hearts,
they too will have great power!
~
I calmed the Storm, with My own hands,
and their storms I'll calm as well;
Tell them I said to please not fear,
not even the pits of Hell.
~
For they are mine and I am theirs,
they can read this in my Word;
And if they grow, with Me they'll know,
they won't perish with the World.
~
Please tell them that I love them,
and my Love runs oh, so deep;
For every promise, I have made,
I certainly will keep."
~
Everything the Lord had said,
I felt it in my heart;
I promised Him I'd spread His Word,
in doing my own part.

~

We'll see no more snow,
for Winter has past away,
until the next year.

Nestled in her Mother's womb,
she's beginning to run out of room;
She ***** her thumb without a clue,
of what is coming very soon.
-
To a clinic tomorrow, her Mommy will go, where she will be, ****** through a hose;
This child did not have a choice,
this child did not have a voice.
-
The day arrives when she will die,
the Doctor has at last arrived;
It's not too late to change her mind,
and on the wall, the clock chimes nine.
-
A hose is inserted,
inside the womb,
it will all be over very soon;
The child winches away in pain,
her suffering is her Mother's gain.
-
Each piece of this child,
is ****** right out,
no one can hear her cries and shouts;
  The tears in her blue eyes can't be seen,
thanks to the horror,
of that ******* machine.

I know I love you, this is why,
I'll dry each teardrop that you cry;
I'll comfort you, when you are sad,
make you smile, when you are mad.
~
I'll never leave you all alone,
help you find your way back home;
Believe in you when others don't,
and guide you on each path you roam.
~
I'll lift your spirits, when they're low,
show you where you need to go;
Stand by you, through thick or thin,
and then repeat it all again.
~
My love for you bears no disguise,
my precious little, child of Mine;
I will never leave your side,
I've loved you since the start of time.

Snow is beautiful,
especially when it falls,
blanketing the ground.

I'm lost and alone,
no one to lean on;
I've no place to go,
no where I belong.
~
Since I was a child,
my failures began;
No one gave me comfort,
no one lent a hand.
~
Why was it so hard,
for them to be kind;
I don't have the answers,
they've eluded my mind.
~
In my little world,
my retreat still remains;
I dare not come out,
I can't stand the pain.
~
I once made a promise,
I've kept to this day;
I'd stay here forever,
within lies no shame.
~
No harm can befall me,
I sleep safe and sound;
My heart ne'er again,
will e'er hit the ground.
~
Life without agony,
the sound is so sweet;
I sing this each morning,
I sing this for me.

Our love ties us together,
hence we will always be;
From the first time that I saw you,
your love was meant for me.
~
You treat me like a lady,
I treat you like my man;
And even in my silence,
you seem to understand.
~
And as you hold me tightly,
I feel what you don't say;
A love which needs no words,
is a love you've brought my way.
~
As you bring my morning Coffee,
I feel so very blessed;
For you always do the sweetest things,
too numerous to be said.
~
You never try to change me,
you accept the "Me" I am;
I cherish you, with all my heart,
on this I'll take a stand!
~
If you were e'er to leave me,
I don't know what I'd do;
Life would seem so worthless,
without the love of you.

God stepped down from His mighty Throne,
to become Christ in the flesh;
His mighty love for all mankind,
assured He'd do His best.
-
Some men truly loved Him,
there were those who turned away;
It has always been like this,
up to this very day.
-
Jesus healed the sick and deaf,
He made the blind to see;
He shed His blood for all the World,
and died for you and me.
-
By the acceptance of His blood,
t'was His greatest sacrifice;
Those who accept His gift,
will go to Paradise.

Remember me when I am gone,
sing and dance to my favorite songs;
Please keep my memories alive,
by viewing them, in your mind's eye.
~
Be kind to me, as you once were,
when at first, you rocked my world;
Then hurtful words you began to use,
and a punching bag, I became to you.
~
You do not need to use cruel words,
I've heard them since I was a girl;
Bloodshot eyes, I've often cried,
to keep this Marriage barely alive.
~
I think it's time to call it quits,
I simply can not handle this;
I'll be the first to pack my bags,
my closet's full of lots of rags.

No one knows the Me I am,
I wish they'd truly understand;
I'm full of love and sympathy,
but they don't see, these things in me.
~
I'm easy going and quiet at times,
for anyone, I'd lay down my life;
A blessing I do long to be,
I truly love Humanity.
~
I want to fulfill, my God's plan,
a purpose for the me I am;
I'm nice to everyone I meet,
though they may not, be nice to me.
~
I am, by no means, cruel at all,
even though I do have many faults;
I try to treat everyone so kind,
I'll always have the extra time.
~
I'm ordinary, not much to me,
I'm simple in the ways I think;
I will stand up for what is right,
and won't back down from any fight.
~
I think this sums up who I am,
I'm not that good, but I'm not bad;
I pray for everyone I know,
and wish the best, where e'er they go.

A precious baby,
a wee newborn;
Sing praises to,
the Lord of Lords.
~
His name is Jesus,
the reason He came;
Was to save Mankind,
from their sins and shame.
~
From Heaven above,
He came to Earth;
No other Babe,
held so much worth.
~
Wrapped in swaddling clothes,
in a Manger He lay;
His life would be,
the price He'd pay.
~
As this child grew,
into a man;
He taught and preached,
of God's, great plan.
~
Some followed Him,
some turned away;
Yet He loved us all,
anyway.
~
He offered Salvation,
to all who received;
By dying upon,
a Dogwood Tree.
~
He shed His Blood,
upon the Cross;
T'was an act that came,
at a very, high cost.
~
Praise you, my Jesus,
the great King of Kings;
You truly are what,
Christmastime means!

As the Moon glows, on top of me,
God's miracles, I can clearly see;
He created and molded everything,
even a sinner, just like me.
~
Yet even though I sinned against Thee,
He died upon a Dogwood tree;
Forgiveness He did grant for free,
He granted for the likes of me.
~
He shed His Blood,
died in my place;
Offered Salvation,
through His saving Grace.
~
What a Father, I now do serve,
His forgiveness, I do not deserve;
I love Him with every breath I take,
I'll meet Him at the Pearly Gates!

In my darkest of nights,
in my deepest despair;
I reached out my hand,
and Jesus was there.
~
His touch was as light,
as a small, baby Dove;
I could feel His compassion,
I could feel His great love.
~
He spoke to my heart,
in a still, soft voice;
And my troubled, torn heart,
began to rejoice.
~
"Hush my dear child,
do not be dismayed;
For I've walked in your shoes,
I too was betrayed.
~
I was hated by many,
through my thirty-three years;
That I walked on your land,
that I shed my own tears.
~
I too felt great pain,
when the whip dug in deep;
I knew what they sowed,
they surely would reap.
~
I've been where you are,
so I know how you feel;
Just hold my hand tightly,
and believe I am real."

I don't have all the answers,
why we don't talk or touch;
I think that we, would both agree,
it's becoming just too much.
~
We never hold each other's hand,
the way we use to do;
We never kiss each other, "Bye,"
as if we have the Flu.
~
We rarely say, "I love you,"
nor give hugs anymore;
And we always seem so sad,
when we walk through the front door.
~
We both ignore the other,
this happens all day long;
We don't communicate because,
everything we'd say is wrong.
~
When we go to bed at night,
we never say, "Goodnight;"
We're nothing more then roomates,
who are living seperate lives.
~
We both keep our own distance,
as if we're miles apart;
It seems we're always, "Butting Heads,"
just like we **** our hearts.
~
The two of us aren't happy,
what are we going to do;
Perhaps it's time, to realize,
this relationship is through.

We built a Snowman,
in the fresh, glistening snow.
It was beautiful.

My tears, they fell like raindrops,
as they softly hit the ground;
In the midst of all my fears,
I heard an awesome sound.
~
T'was a still and gentle voice,
calling out to me;
I knew it was my Jesus,
who'd come to set me free.
~
His voice I heard quite clearly,
His comfort I could feel;
His Grace was most abundant,
His presence was for real.
~
"My child," I heard Him tell me,
"The fears that you now know;
I too felt in the Garden,
so many years ago.
~
I ask my Heavenly Father,
if He could take this cup;
Yet if it not be possible,
to give me strength enough.
~
I did all I could do,
and obeyed my Father's Will;
You must trust in Him always,
no matter how you feel.
~
I'll ease your troubled heart,
and wipe away your tears;
I'll give you a new Peace,
you'll keep throughout your years."
~
The storm in me subsided,
peace filled my heart and soul;
I knew that he'd be with me,
where ever I may go.

My abuse began when I was small,
large, were the teardrops I cried;
They fell to the ground, without a sound,
in the darkness of my nights.
~
The pain I felt was endless,
I carried the shame in my heart;
I blamed myself for everything,
as they tore my world apart.
~
Each night they would come to me,
their hands began to roam;
They explored each inch of my body,
'til I wanted to explode.
~
I'd lay in bed, eyes shut tight,
and endured until they were through;
Then they'd leave me to myself,
hoping I'd forget the abuse.
~
As I grew up I wondered,
"Do they remember too;"
Were they proud to harm a child,
guess I'll never know the truth.

Within the soft, sweet coolness,
of a gentle, Summer's breeze;
I heard my God speak to me,
and I quickly hit my knees.
~
How could this living God,
who created everything;
See past all my mistakes,
and truly forgive me?
~
And in the darkness of myself,
I no longer felt alone;
For I knew He walked beside me,
where ever I may roam.
~
'Tis then I prayed, "Oh Father,
please ease my fears and woes;
Be with me on my journeys,
where ever I may roam.
~
If not for Your great love,
Your mercy and Your grace;
I would be a nothing,
among the Human race."
~
Then I asked, "Dear Father,
how could this truly be;
That the good you see within me,
is never what I see?"
~
My heart then filled with joy,
and a peace came over me;
For I knew within my heart,
that Jesus set me free.

Whenever I think of a Mother,
one person comes to mind;
She is full of love and compassion,
and I'm so blessed she's mine.
~
I can proudly say, without a doubt,
that my Mother-In-Law is my Mom;
For she treats me as her daughter,
and loves me in spite of my wrongs.
~
She comforts me when I'm distraught,
she wipes away tears that I cry;
She's wise beyond the years she's lived,
and she always stands by my side.
~

I thought I'd given more to God,
then what I actually had;
Until  the Devil buffeted me,
reminding me of my past.
~
I sat and thought about my sins,
falling short of the Glory of God;
So on bended knee, I asked the Lord,
to forgive me for all of my wrongs.
~
Each hurtful thing I'd ever done,
came with a flood back to me;
I felt such guilt consume my Soul,
it felt like I'd ne'er be free.
~
How could God ever forgive me,
for the sinful things I'd done wrong;
My Faith seemed to be lacking,
I'd lost my Spiritual song.
~
So on bended knee I quickly fell,
my face turned downward in shame;
I begged the Lord to forgive me,
and I rightfully took all the blame.
~
Then a Peace that I had never known,
filled every place in me;
Jesus then said, "You are forgiven,
and I've cast your sins in the Sea.
~
Do the very best that you can,
and I'll help you along the way;
For you are one of my Children,
and I'm always here, should you stray."
