Words You Never Want To Hear

I swallowed my tears, as he walked away 
I held on to life with a breath, 
I crumbled like sand,swept away with the wind 
Still, my body was too heavy to lift. 
I took a deep breath, and listened with disbelief 
As the tears bundled up in my throat. 
I had a small tear, in the corner of my eye, 
And on my tears began to choke. 
I felt I could breath, no more from inside 
And fell to my knees to pray, 
I couldn't hold back these tears, I must cry, 
As the doctor told me what he had to say. 
Your wife styruggled hard, and the baby is here, 
A new baby boy to call your own. 
But your wife so fragile, fell so weak 
Three strong breathes, and she passed on. 
As she gasp one last breath, and 
She spoke those words so clear, 
Kiss daddy for me now, I love you both, 
I'm sorry your mommy won't be here.

Never Take For Granted

Never take for granted each breathe your blessed to take
Don't wait to fix your problems till tomorrow,
They're only bigger when you wake
Don't miss a chance to say I love you, 
Thank you, or pass on a lil smile
Don't be afraid to lend a hand or
Ever doubt going that extra mile
If I were given the chance on what message
I would get to leave behind
I'd tell my children how wonderful your life could be, 
But only with Jesus at your side
Don't take for granted what he has given and 
your life will be filled with peace
Don't fill your life with selfishness, hate or full of grief
Greed will get you nowhere and hate gets you less than that
We all sometimes loose our sense of direction, but
God will give you the wisdom and the strength to get it back
Remember what feelings you hold deep within could 
leave the worst scars you'll ever bare
Cause keeping all your hurt and pain inside will leave you
with nothing but anger to share
And there will come a moment
When it will all seem that it's just too late
But God knew what he was doing when he made us, 
He loved us so much that
He even left room for our mistakes.

Wisdom From the Heart

Don't ever miss a moment Don't waste time on unnecessary tears
Hold each day like you own it,
before You know it those days will turn to years
You have to learn to forget the past, but still hold it deep within;
You should not change for anyone!
Because you never know for sure, of the ones, who will be there in the end!
Live your life that makes Your heart smile with such a glow, 
and remember it doesn't matter what anyone Thinks, only what you know! 
We're only human, we all make mistakes; But learn, instead of follow;
The decisions you make today, could make or break your tomorrow! 
Baby girl, your still so young, a big world you still look towards,
But that's why I'm here, God, you and I,
Together we'll walk forward!
Laugh like there is no limit, Love cautiously, but True
Don't step on hearts or burn any bridges,
you may need to turn and walk back through! 
Please listen to my warnings, about making your life your own;
Cause only You can make You happy,
And the decisions you are making today,
will be your weight when you are grown!

Learning As We Go

You're growing up so fast these days, 
when will it ever stop? 
I still remember your first day home, 
Lil blue eyes and your golden locks. 
You held my finger, with your whole hand, 
So tiny you were in my arms 
And right then and there, I stood and I swore, 
To keep you from any and all harm. 
Though that's impossible, I hear you say, 
It doesn't keep me from trying. 
I would take on and endure any pain, 
Just to keep you from crying. 
You'll never know the full and complete 
Hold you have on my heart, it's God plan, 
he has blessed us together, 
Knowing one day he will take us apart. 
So bare with me baby girl, I'm not any pro 
I wasn't born a mother, like being a daughter, 
We must learn as we go. 
So slow down and enjoy this time, 
God gave to you and me 
I'll always try to steer you clear, 
And aim your pain at me. 
But sadly enough there will be days, 
When you must carry your own, 
But never think I am not there, 
It's just part of learning as we go. 
I love you baby girl, and rather 
Or not you yet to see, 
All my advice is filled with love, 
Only trying to steer you free.

I'M Sorry

I'm sorry for the words, I should have
spoke, but never did I say!
I'm sorry for the misdirection, that
led my heart the wrong way.
I'm sorry for the moments I didn't
ever speak, to thank you for all
the times you gave me strength, when I was weak.
I'm sorry for not holding you even closer,
instead of pushing you away.
I'm sorry for not noticing, You 
were the one who brought that smile to my face!
I'm sorry for everything I haven't said,
That I'm sorry for; I'm sorry for not realizing,
how every minute, I want you even more!
You make my heart glow, and enlighten all my pain
You take away all my worries, through
the toughest of days. So once again I'm sorry,
for everything that I have done,
To ever make you unhappy, or
felt you were unloved!

Dont Shed Tears For Me

If my last words were carved into stone 
And rested upon my grave, 
I'd speak out to you I am not alone 
God, walks with me today. 
By now he has taken, away all my pain 
And showed me streets of gold, 
So not another tear, come morning 
Just that last one, then let me go. 
Because now, I will drink from fountains 
Where there's petals all a float, 
And rest upon the water, 
Without a paddle or a boat. 
I'll feel the sun upon my face 
For the first time, without the heat. 
I'll be able to walk through the snow, 
Without the cold, freezing my feet. 
By now, I'm hearing nothing, 
But the laughter, 
And smiles through the air, 
So don't shed tears for me, 
You are the one, who must stay there.

A Prayer To Children

If God were to carry me away tonight 
What would I have to say, 
I'd say take care of my little ones 
And let my wisdom guide their way. 
Let them know the joys of life, and grant them 
Strength for all the rest. 
Let them know deeply in their heart, 
How their mother was blessed. 
Let knowledge come strong, and whit behind that 
Charm should come natural, for I gave them that. 
Watch over them Lord, and grant me this peace 
To know my little angels are in your hands, 
As I am rested at your feet.

The World Today

The world we are living in today will devour your mind if you let it
This world today is so deceitful and corrupt
So many people just don’t get it
Laws being broken, what laws that we have left 
the government is succeeding in brain washing and theft
Stealing our rights and voices to speak 
They want us silent and powerless because they prey on the weak.
Many people they just don’t have a clue 
Fighting and rioting and fueling the fire is exactly what they want you to do.
And don’t get me started on the news and the press,  that is the devil stirring up chaos at his best 
He wants in your head but has to be invited and so many people are letting him in
The world we are living in today will devour your soul if you choose to let the devil win
In the days we live in they are numbered no doubt, eyes better open and get it figured out.
If you can stand back and see the big picture of what this world is coming to, you know in your heart the only way to survive is pulling together, fighting as one and putting our faith in the Lord and our differences aside.
My heart breaks for the Lord as he watches his creations being destroyed by people who are never content;  greed and lust and power and more. The evil, the disgust, and the stuff they are teaching our kids sickens me to the core.
So come on people rise up and take notice, because the end is coming soon 
Lift your hands up and praise the Lord and thank him for all the blessings in this life, you chose not to see, that helped you get through.

Battles

Every person in this world has a battle they are trying defeat 

Behind the eyes is an untold story from everyone that you meet. 

Quick to judge ready to condemn, this whole world is falling apart 

You’re not the only one who is fighting a battle this whole world is being ripped apart.  

The struggle is hard the pain is real it doesn’t matter what you’re going through 

I’m shouting out not to one but to all, don’t fight this battle you’re in alone  

When you’ve got people that will stand with you. 

Homeless, jobless, there’s addiction and more, the loss of a loved one, everyone is at war 

What about the soldiers who battled for us to be free 

That live in a world that doesn’t give them the respect they deserve, can’t even get the help that they need 

So many people just like you, fighting the same monsters that live inside their head 

They can’t handle their own thoughts, feeling defeated, losing all reason to even get out of bed 

There are people who will read these words on their pedestal as if these words do not pertain  

You’re blind to the system, they’ve got you playing their game, you’re 

Fighting battles for no reason, you don’t even know why, the system wants madness, but that’s all on you, choosing to believe all their lies 

And as for those in the system full of power and greed still trying to climb the ladder to wherever that might be 

Your fear should be greater for your battle is with God, I don’t know if there are support groups in the white house, but when you arrive, 

The Devil will inform you when as he hands you his card  

Everyone is fighting a battle cause the devil is on the prowl  

He prays among the weak like our government is preying on us now. 

You are not alone in whatever battle you are having to face, 

If more people fought together, instead of being divided by stupidity, with all this bull of hatred and blaming it on race. 

 a nation of God, our blood is all the same color, quit fighting amongst ourselves and band together as brothers. 

Don’t wait until your battle turns into an all-out war, please just speak out, you’re not alone  

There are people that will help you through, you don’t have to battle a war all by yourself, you will always have people that will stand to fight any battle you struggle through.

My Thoughts Flow So Clearly Now

My thoughts flow so clearly now,
For a fog I've been walking through,
I never thought I'd see how,
I'd ever realize, what I already knew!
As the fog is starting to lift,
My life will soon make sense.
I know God has granted me some kind of gift,
I've just built, around myself a fence.
I put up a guard, so no pain could enter,
A shield for my own heart.
I saw myself alone, but a winner,
Ignoring the people I was tearing apart.
But God gave me this one last chance,
To set back and take a look,
I've said I'm sorry and made my stance,
And I'm changing the road I took.
And so you know, one of those,
People who still believe,
Is the one who sends these words to you,
This happens to be me.
