You too have young ones
to sweeten your ears
by their melodious chant “dear mom or dad”.
Does it gratify your supreme authority
to see them go without food for a day or two
before you spend to meet their needs?
Does your heart only melt
when they stand with their hands closed together
or knelt down at your feet?
No, you will say, “It’s all theirs what we have”.
Your heart pains to see them in pain
beyond the shadow of a doubt.
Then why you go on a hunger strike
to make God submit to your demands?
The philosophy of fasting
is good for health,
calls upon to self-discipline
and frees from bodily dependencies.
But the Father of all souls
urges his sweet children
to renounce their vices
and not a constant balanced diet.
Are you a beggar
standing before an idol
with your endless worldly desires
or a blissful soul, His sweetest child,
an heir to all His treasures, His love and powers?
What we suspect is almost always never what it seems,
So why make assumptions we put in place and believe,
Some things we know beyond the shadow of a doubt,
And even then we're still trying to figure it out,
I've had it, I'm done...control can take a backseat,
I'm finished trying so hard, when it's almost never what it seems,
Curve ball after curve ball, I surrender,
I'm gonna let life happen and just get it together,
If you care, you show it, you know the difference,
Words without actions are beautiful from a distance,
Don't take it serious, keep an open mind,
The truth always comes out in its place n time...
Love me with a reason
Love me like you mean it
Love me hot as summer
While winter is in season
Love me like a new day
A day without the heartache
Love me in your savings
More give than you could ever take
Love me as in a parade
Love me like you're saying grace
Love me with a memory
The very best that you can make
Love me like your lost is found
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
Love me when the secrets told
The moment that you find it out
Love me with a made up mind
Love me like a childs night light
The comfort that it brings at night
That only time can truly find
Love me like it's all brand new
Love me with loves lasting truth
Love me in all that you do
Like I'm loving you
If I don't react the way you expect me to doesn't mean I'm weak,
And just because I don't react doesn't mean I'm naive,
When I see beyond the shadow of a doubt, and refuse to fuel the fire,
It's no game, I justly refused to feed that spirits desire,
If I feed into, or react to it, then there's no way it can spread,
You can keep that filthy behavior, because I will just starve it to death,
When you don't have a playmate to fatten up the feeling,
It will regress and starve itself, a small step closer to your healing,
The itch of the poison stays with you, yet you can't see I walk with the cure,
His name is Jesus, and he intercepts any feelings that knock on my door,
He turns hate into compassion, reassures, confirms, and binds,
He always has a way of intervening to change my heart and my mind,
The benefits go beyond reactions, and humbles point of view,
And proceeds to show the process of why we do what we do,
Love Is free to circulate, there's no blockage in the way,
He seperates and intercedes beyond the words you say,
He will use the silence to heal you, make you see your own heart,
When there's no fuel to flame your fire, the mirror is where you'll start,
From the moment i was born
I never knew what love was really about untill i grew older and with all your warm hugs and care made me understand exactly what love realy ment..and all through growing up with your care and love i treasure the moments with you..
I love you more than anything
Beyond the shadow of a doubt
The bond I feel is unbreakable
And instantly I know
That I will spend eternity
Thanking God for my miracle, you
Time has quickly passed us by
And now i am a bearded fella
But in my eyes you will always be
My precious loving mum
One day in the future
God will bless me with a miracle too
Then you will know the depth of love
That I will always have for you
I will be here for you always
And forever and a day
Loving you unconditionally
Every step along the way..i will not stop saying how much i love and treasure you mum...and i pray for my kids to have that same love and care i received 25 years ago til now.#happymothersdaymum and to all beautiful mums out there ..don't ever shorten your love for a miracle is miraculously meandering its way to your heart..love you all #kisses
I thought I had things figured out
I thought I knew beyond the shadow of a doubt
But then it all comes crashing down
I’m alone again, trapped in my head, no one around
I know I shouldn’t be influenced by others
But my worries and doubts, they overwhelm and smother
I have this terrible tightness in my chest
It chokes and squeezes and I’m all out of breath
I beat myself up and tear my mind apart
I feel like a child, wandering, lost in the dark
Perception is a funny thing
It can open your eyes or blind you to everything
It can make you cry or make you sing
It can heal your wounds or it can sting
I keep recycling my pain, hoping not all is in vain
Hope is the only thing I have to keep me sane
I’m empty inside when you’re next to me
I feel alone even though you’re chasing me
I hear your voice but there’s no one around
I’m in your presence but I don’t hear a sound
There’s no one here but you and I
Why can’t I feel you on my wings as we fly
Got your love trapped and it wont get out
But there’s no evidence of you here beyond the shadow of a doubt
Even though your close you’re a million miles away
Tomorrow is forever but you live in yesterday
I want to see you how hard I try
But why can’t I feel you on my wings as we fly
Back to back or eye to eye
I still can’t feel you or see you and I don’t know why
You follow my steps but I see no track
I carry you everywhere but there’s nothing on my back
Are you alive or did you die
I still can’t feel you on my wings as we fly
Transplant
Beyond the shadow of a doubt -
Where corners hide uncertain fears,
My heart lies torn and slowly shatters -
A dreaded beginning draws ever near.
Choices ripe with steadfast daggers,
Await me in unconquered place.
Controlled, contrived, complacent smiles
Shall mask my now crestfallen face.
Patience, courage, see me through,
Weary heart, must find the will
To flee from home and security,
Shadow dreams I now must kill.
I welcome risk and weather falls,
Bruised, not beaten and soon shall rise –
Above the shadows, above the cold,
Petrifying this part that dies.
Beyond the clouds, soft and bright,
beyond temped sky it lies
out where light is purely white
and prism shattered without dyes.
Heaven hides, pasture wide.
Where the book of life is read.
Angels perch and sing their fill.
Where sacrificed Lambs or bled
their blood poured over rightful heads,
decidedness of good and ill.
Ones that enter are all who will
and leave behind their earthly cares.
With their faith, claiming their thrill
with His love being fulfilled.
Heavenly pleasures to His heirs.
Earthward opens Heaven's portal,
having the Master's word read out
giving hope to all who's mortal.
Heaven hides from eyes both weak and stout
just beyond the shadow of a doubt.
