Who Am I.....?

Who am I...?

I am the lost little boy left in the rain
I am the lost girl waitin for a friend
I am the addict that can't get enough
I am the killer that just killed another

Who am I...?

I am the rain tryin to wash away pain
I am the friend willing to reach out to grab your hand
I am the drug you cant refuse
I am the bullet that just killed you

Who am I...?

I am your sister that just got kidnapped
I am your brother that just got robbed and stabbed
I am your father that dont want nothing to do with you
I am your hell that wants to taunt you


Who Am I...?

I am your angel that will watch over you
I am your saftey zone that will never let you steer wrong
I am your friend when you need to talk
I am your Haven that will never let hell hurt you...

Take the Lead

God does not always respond the way one expects.



Its branches dressed in luscious green leaves
From the young look of the spring season
The cherry blossom tree had lost its sheen,
The petals of its flowers faded spread around its feet.

Of its pink blossoms, it had been so proud
Spreading their sweet fragrance thereabout 
Attracting couples young and old to sprawl
Expressing their love, such joy all about.

Now fewer people came by and when they did
Walked on by without even looking at it
It felt so alive in the presence of love, what a gift!
Had wanted this feeling never to end, but it did.

Said a little prayer to its Maker
Asked Him if he could bring back the flowers
It seemed to make people so happy
But nothing happened, and the tree felt lonely.

One day a young woman came by
She sat at its feet and began to cry
The tree felt in her the same sadness of loss
And wished it could comfort her somehow.

Said a little prayer again to its Maker
Asked Him how he could bring joy to her
A little wind began to blow suddenly
As if the Maker acknowledged its plea.

Its current detached one of its leaves
That fell on her right cheek upon a tear
With her fingers, she caught the leaf
Palm open, she looked at it without a speech.

A smile spread on her pink lips
For she saw in it a special gift
She wiped her face with the leaf
And turned her face up to the tree.

With a sparkle in her eyes, she said sweetly,
“Thank you. You lost all your flowers recently
Yet you gave me a gift of hope with this leaf
I know now I can take the lead.”

Lost and Found

I lost my mind once before
Then my heart, but who's keeping score
I lost all my strength, so weak and poor
So, I searched my soul and then searched some more
And then I prayed to God and in Him.. 
I found all four
