Get over it they said
the past is past, it's dead
open your heart it's a brand new day.
smell the roses
take time to play
dwelling on times gone by
turns the future black as night
say i love you loud and clear
to all the ones that you hold dear
suffacating is dispair
without forgiveness there is no air
some succomb, turn dead inside
others still fight the fight
draw upon loved ones strength
pray to God and offer thanks
believe in yourself
never lose faith
the power of love will keep you safe
mistakes are made
it's part of life
you can't know love
if you've not known strife
each moment in time is meant to be
though reasons maybe hard to see
even the darkest cloud is lined
with silver that's stood up to time
a reminder to hold on to who you are
and believe in the magic of a shooting star
Everytime you lead I follow and its as if you've led me to a blizzard and I am ment
to lose myself in it...and you just walk away
and some how.. some way i still love you... and you mock my attempt to survive by
leading SOMEONE else to the most beautiful field of sunflowers and daisies, and its
as if the hail and rain beat me harder and harder and i love you deeper and deeper
And once i survive the blizzard you act as if it never occured and we greet again and
it feels like we are starting over
i ACCEPT it and we start agian and i follow you once more no futher than to a
raptures storm which i attempt to survive but my heart is paralyzed and my pride
wounded...
EVERYTIME you lead i follow but this time i accept WHOLE HEARTEDLY that we are to
be NOTHING more than friends...to every hello and EVERY goodbye....
and YOU are FORGIVEN my once loved FRIEND....

I DID,NT NO I TURNED THIS INTO A GAME
I DID,NT NO I PUT OUR LOVE IN VAIN
I DID,NT THINK I CAUSED THIS MUCH PAIN
I DID,NT NO I WILL FEEL SO A SHAME
I WISH I COULD TAKE IT ALL BACK
I WISH WE COULD PUT OUR RELATIONSHIP BACK ON TRACK
I LOVE YOU AND THATS A FACT
I JUST DID,NT SHOW IT I PUT ON A ACT
I SEE NOW WHAT YOU MEAN TO ME
IN YOUR ARMS IS WHERE I SHOULD BE
I WAS BLIND BUT NOW I SEE
I HOPE WE CAN PASS THIS AND YOU COULD FORGIVE ME
I SEE NOW WHAT LOSING YOU DONE TO ME
I WISH YOU WOULD THINK ABOUT US AND EXCEPT THIS PLEA
All i know that
I love all human being
Maybe im silly or naive
But, no need to be lost in hatred
All i know that
I never get mad or upset
Maybe I'm insane
But, we need to forget about our vent
All I know that
I never get hurt
Maybe I'm weird or heartless
But, all i know I'll be okay no matter what they did
All i know that
I will always be myself
Maybe I'm just a little too diffrent
But, I know they wish if they can be on my shelf
All i know that
I will never fall apart
Maybe I'm domineering or arrogant
But, I know it's true so I can say that
All i know that
I trust myself first
Maybe I'm a little fussy or insecure
But, I know nobody is trusted in my list
All i know that
I forgive you after all what you have done
Maybe I'm crazy or a big idiot
But, I know deep inside your love wasn't worth none
What shall I say to you in sultry silence
Where love drips like stalagmite water
From the morning leaf of your defiance,
I've never seen words coralled a daughter
Then how shall deception coral a father?
Perhaps you will come again, on your own
To find some late sap in the garden of laughter
When the dew is dry from you hollow zone
And perhaps in the silence of an open leaf
You will formulate your penance its grief
But I bejeweled with blooms like stars to woo the night
I hope for you a better transition to delight
O but it is the splendor that trust alone can build
Upon the power of the surrendered will
The rod is power, but grace keeps the throne
In our Judean creed of love and example
And I, father, must be an eternal sample
For ever the dove returns when first its flown.
How do you sleep at night
Knowing you left our kids
It does not sit with me alright
Your love is on the skids
They still love you even though
You up and walked away
It does not matter where you go
The children want to stay
So if you love them truly
Its time to come on back
No time to be unruly
Just get your life on track
So face your fears head on
And pack your bags to go
Before all your kids are gone
Try not to be so slow
They love you more anything
I tried to do the same
I showed my love in everything
They try to hide the shame
I’ve seen them cry about it
Please give yourself a smack
They don’t want you to quit
Just you to move on back
My love for you feels so right,
I want to be with you every night.
and on those nights when we make love,
I'll pray for forgiveness from God above.
They say sex before marriage is a sin,
but I just love the feeling as you guide it in.
So please Lord, please help me out. Please show me
what Real Love is all about.
I’m Sorry, Lord
By Dane Smith-Johnsen
I’m Sorry. Oh, dear Lord, my God.
While imperfect on this earth I trod.
Forgive me, sins of omission.
As I live by will in submission.
One wrong choice after another,
Soon, I turned my head from a brother.
Then, focused mostly on myself.
Love: Thy example, put on the shelf.
I’m sorry, dearest, perfect God.
I failed to hold to Thy iron rod.
I made new friends; they seemed so dear.
Thy muddied teachings once crystal clear.
Temptation came to blinded eyes.
And I listened to the devil’s lies.
Rationalizing: next best friends.
Forgetting to know the wages: sins.
I’m sorry, Lord. Your love ignored.
I turned away from Thy care adored.
Forgive me for my youthful ways.
I forgot to love Thee day by day.
Now kneel I humbly at Thy throne.
Heal my heart. Understanding has grown.
Forgive me for forgetting, God.
I’m sorry for imperfections trod.
This poem was written for Christie Moses, I’m Sorry Contest.
All is a dream
All is the glorious pursuit of grace through compassion
All is love without virtue
All is the chasing and catching of mind without matter
All is symbols
Cymbals clanging for our youth
Six years old in the yard
When shouts and jerks were prayers of Joy
All is in my name
All is a sanctuary
All bides time
All is forgiveness
And it ends there
So it may begin again in the early glow of love
And I say these things
Not out of pride or Order
But out of combustible joy
I say these things to share love
I love everyone
And so do you.
(For you deserve to be loved.)
(You are the dessert inside rainbows.)
(You can't stop if you tried.)
You're trying right now.
