It's another Monday
One seventh of your life
It's the second month of the year
at least six to go before you can earn it all
(Or most of it)
On the seventh day God rested
Hopefully He hasn't since
I wish He'd rested on the sixth too
(We'd have weekends off)
You can downplay religion if you want to
But I'm so grateful for Sundays
I'm considering a small business endeavor
Manufacturing small easy to keep objects
That are interesting enough to treasure
I'll sell them for weights of silver or gold.
sorta like a nickel bag novel (5 grams)
Or a daily prayer writ in stone
To carry as atonement
For allowing congressional thievery
Doncha just love Mondays
I awoke this morning with trouble on my mind
Not very unusual but certainly not the right kind.
I say a prayer and try to be as calm as I can be
Then I say to myself ""why me""
I look back on my life and think of the good times
All of the laughter I felt,
The best love you could find.
Then I dig deep within my soul
There is anguish, pain a heaviness
Untold
""why me"" I ask am I not just like any other person in this world
I use to have happiness, I use to be a good girl.
But I have to do better do what god
Wants me to do
Yet so many nights i'm angry, so mad and so blue
It can't get any worse, there is always someone going through
So don't ever think you can't get over. what I am saying is oh
So true. it was said best""i love me better than that""
And yes you can get your life back
But it's my turn and I will show them girl this too shall pass
And I can make a difference in this world.
Sampaguita...for the shortest while, eternal;
blissful enigma, serene beauty,
paradisiacal.
Dew-kissed white petals lift its fragrant oblation,
gratitude, prayer and hope
of a troubled nation.
Blossoming, beaming upward to see the sky smile,
Sampaguita...eternal for the shortest
while!
He can wipe away all your tears. He can be your shelter from the storm. He will calm the seas if you just love Him. His love can put back into your heart. When you think it can be done all you need to do is ask. You will receive, it just ask Jesus to help you for He is God and you his child. There is nothing that we can’t handle together, I am just a prayer away hold Me close to your heart and see what we can accomplish,
just remember I first loved you.
