Faith
is it a feeling like a soft spring breeze early in the spring morning,
Faith
Is it birds singing on a sunny summer day,
Faith
Is it knowing without a doubt that GOD is always near us no matter what life brings our way.
Death
Growing old
Grieving
Tough times
A loss of a broken friendship
Envy
Loss of trust
A painful childhood
Family separated by sadness
Faith
Is knowing derp in our heart that God will never leave us, He never promised it would be easy.
Faith
IS loving one another in good times and bad.
Faith
Is seeking Gods word in prayer and deed,
Faith is never being so discouraged that you no longer ask for help..
Faith IS living as Christ Jesus lived in the best way we know how, buckskin g each and every day as it’s our last.
Faith IS and always WILL BE being the person GOD made you and I to be, a living loving human being who can change someone else’s day by simple kindness deeds
What is time but a thing we cannot see,
but it is everywhere.
Time comes and goes before we know it,
good times and bad times.
The question is what is quality time?
Everyone's answer will be different,
grandkids to fishing to volunteering.
The quality of the time,
is what we make it.
As I mourn the end of my marriage
An era of ups and downs
Good times and bad times
New heights and extreme lows
First, I was upset
Denying the marriage was bad
Then the sadness crept in
Why us?
We've been together so long
My emotions, I looked for peace of mind
But anxiety crept deeply in
The loneliness, realizing I was alone
The confused though,t what now?
Working through this roller coaster
Taken to different heights
I accepted the stages and strived for the highest peak
I am at peace with it now as I speak
God
Give yourself over to
God. He will
Guide your footsteps through
Good times and bad. His
Grace is sufficient for ridding us of our
Guilt and sin and
Giving us peace of mind.
Do you remember the days of our youth?
The good times and bad times that we went through?
There's highways and byways and kids that we knew,
Do you remember those days like I do?
Do you recall winters and days without school,
With snow drifts high and no swimming pool?
The windows were frosted and bed sheets were cool;
Can you recall the winters so cruel?
Can you still picture your first ever crush,
And every time you got near, did you blush?
When around your friends you kept it hush hush
By telling yourself don't be in a rush.
Do you look back on the years that passed by?
Can you count all those gone to fields where they lie?
When you see wrinkles do you ask yourself "why"?
Do you look back on the years that passed by?
Now at long last, do you feel you are old
When every joint hurts and you're always cold?
Seems like it's time to put mem'ries on tight hold
And treat every day as if it were gold!
Do you remember those days like I do?
Alas! You dark, grotesque, vile servant of Lucifer, the antithesis of the morning star.
Once again, you have sought me out and endeavored to siphon my light at the end of my tunnel.
In the past, you may have thwarted my desires, cast me into purgatory,
and whispered sophistry in the crevices of my mind.
But NOW your machinations are no threat to me. What once was a callow mind has turned into growth over time.
I have learned to see where there is no light, how to climb where there is no ladder.
So do your best, you nocturnal fiend. Your reign is over; you no longer have influence over me.
Now I know, good times and bad times are like tides that ebb and flow.
So traverse the realms to shroud my days in night.
I will say to thee, “Hello, my old friend. Do your worst, because God has bestowed upon me my own personal light, and I walk by it habitually every day and night.”
When we first met we were very young but our age didn’t matter to us
That’s when our love began.
You had long black hair and eyes of emerald green to me you were perfect
The most beautiful girl I have ever seen.
We would walk to school together holding hands as we walked along
After School in your house listening to our favourite song.
Days turned into months and months turned into years we had good times and bad times and there was laughter and there were tears.
But this is not a happy ending and it is tearing me apart as I have no idea
Just when we drifted apart.
I suppose as we got older we changed and the feeling die
Not able to hold on no matter how hard we try.
In the end we just went our separate ways getting over you took months
Not weeks or days.
I still think of you and wonder how you are feeling and where you are today
As you were my first true love and my memory’s of us never went away.
My journey through life is made so much better with the good friends that surround me
These people are there in times of need, always willing to help, it's plain to see
A special someone I can call on to rescue me when my car breaks down
That person who can bring a smile to my face so I may lose that frown
An evening out on the town made so much more entertaining by having friends to share my night of fun
Never failing to lend a hand to help me get that important job done
Having people who don't judge me but treat me for who I am
Always being there for me when I get in a tough jam
Someone who is there standing by my side in good times and bad
My good friends always can bring a smile to my face when I am a little sad
There are so many things that I am thankful for that good friends bring to my life
But without a doubt my best friend is my loving wife
I watch as time goes by,
With no great urge to try,
To make a move,
Or break a sweat,
I'm a lost heart broken guy.
"HOW" I wonder why,
A sudden urge to cry,
I see her image,
I loose a breath,
I'm a lost heart broken guy.
When will it feel so much better,
To smile like when I first met her,
Good times and bad,
A mixed bunch that we had,
I would sooner be writing a love letter.
Memories I want to remember,
God's prayer I like to send her,
All is not good,
A mass change in mood,
The cancer is one big contender.
I can't imagine my future,
A one I live without torture,
No one for a cuddle,
No one for a date,
I've lost my true love,
My only soul mate.
With a life of hurt I MARCH ON.
With good times and bad I MARCH ON.
The battles I have lost I MARCH ON.
Wanting to give up I MARCH ON.
Given all I have to give I MARCH ON.
My body torn by unhappiness I MARCH ON.
When I am at my limit I MARCH ON.
I WILL FIGHT UNTIL THE END AND I WILL MARCH ON.
Live is but a patchwork quilt
Stitched together by Providence
Fate and life's events
It gets larger if you're lucky
Collecting new patches to add every day
A mixed bag of varied textures
Both smooth and rough
Different colours tones and shades
You can't know where life will take you next
But if you had the chance
You'd choose yellow
Instead of blue
Patches of love
Patches of distaste
Poverty or wealth
Sickness or health
Hard times good times
Pain and pleasure
Dreams and aspirations
Good times and bad
Happy or sad
Where ever life takes you
You'll not know until tomorrow
You point your arrow and
Hope it reaches your target
The quilt fades over time and frays threadbare
you just carry on at a slower pace
And threading the needle gets harder to thread
When your lights go dim
The quilt is a story of a journey
Like a biographical novel
Our history
A life once lived
The black and white photograph
captures a brief moment of time
and a gesture of love meant to be shared
with only him,
the one you married with vows of fidelity;
through good times and bad.
Did you believe the novel you held in your hand,
with its happy ending love conquers all
and its wise advice love can change a man.
When did you know the fairy tale lied,
because love never could defeat
the man's mistress, Alcohol.
Life is a dance
As we glide through time
With only one partner
Or many in line
It may be a waltz
The mood is subdued
Beauty of movement
Two hearts are in tune
It could be the tango
Latin rhythms reign
Both you and your partner
Your passions aflame
The mood of the moment
Dictates how we choose
Jitterbug, twist
Or you're dancing the blues
Life is a dance
Through good times and bad
Be thankful my friends
If your heart's filled with glad
No longer do I weep for you,
Though I no longer weep I still miss you.
I miss those times and precious moments we shared,
Those memories that showed how much we really cared.
With good times and bad,
And Lord knows there were quite a few,
You always knew no matter what happened I would always love you.
With a smile on your face and a wave of your hand,
How I long to have those sweet moments moments back again.
As I sit and go through these memories today,
I wonder is there a message, is there something you want to say?
Or is it your way of telling me,
I'm with yoiu here and always will be.
We started as strangers, just passing by
No need to stop, no connection
Then we talked like kindred souls
Sharing our days, dreams, and goals with each other
There were times we would just cry for no reason
There were times we would laugh for hours
In good times and bad, you were there for me
We shared secrets and memories; we trusted each other with everything
We built a bond so strong
I thought nothing could come between us
But then I moved away
And slowly that bond felt like a burden
And our lives took different turns
We drifted apart like the leaves in the wind
Our once-strong bond, now starting to bend
I tried holding on, but it was too late
Our friendship fading like the sun fades at night
An unfamiliar feeling that I don't understand
The bond we had now has a different name
Our journey that was there is now gone
