Patience Is a Virtue

patience is a virtue that's what they often say
but why is it that people can't seem to change their ways
always looking for love in all the wrong places
hoping for a true commitment from lying faces
unwilling or incapable of just waiting for God
and to only wind up with bruised and broken hearts

we want what we want and we want it fast
but it's the slow and steady that ultimately lasts
desiring riches and fame but not willing to do what it takes
thinking their entitled just for their own sake
nothing is promised and there's only one guarantee in life
and that's the unconditional love and patience of the Lord Jesus Christ

Premium Member Have Faith

Be willing now
To find your place
Right here somehow
In time and space.


Be willing then
To see things clear
Here, there and when
To frame good cheer.


Be willing to
Do what it takes
To win and woo
Fond joy you make.


Be happy here
To see the light
That offers cheer
In fight or flight.


Be happy still
Despite the pains
That challenge will
In strive and strain.


Be happy now
To live fine zest
As you know how
To forge your best.


And in the end,
Just start again
To voice your trends
With joy's refrain.


And as you start,
Just know the end
Deep in your heart
What soul intends.

Full of Bull

9/3/17


You are full of bull
Trying to pull the wool
Over eyes, so you can have control
That is dull
Must've sold your soul
For gold and coal
I laugh at those who troll
Time I droll
Taking a stroll
Staying on a roll
Like your skull
When I bowl
Getting back what others stole

Just want to hate
Toward you, I can't relate
Look you in your face
Knock you out of your place
Continuing the race
Still big bills to chase
Can't waste
Any time, got to move with haste
Picking up the pace
With peculiar taste
Don't need a break
Or rely on faith
Willing to do what it takes
No matter the stakes
Toward something great
No matter if not all appreciate

Premium Member You Can Count On Me

Don’t walk out on me.  You can count on me.
Sometimes I go astray, go and play the fool
But I won’t walk away; I can’t be that cruel.
I won’t walk out on us.  I won’t walk out on you.
Don’t walk out on me.

Don’t lose faith in me.  You can count on me.
I’m sure I’ll make mistakes, maybe cause offense,
But I’ll do what it takes to make amends.
I won’t lose faith in us. I won’t lose faith in you.
Don’t lose faith in me.

Don’t give up on me.  You can count on me.
I may stumble and fall, but I’ll get back up.
I’ll give you my all, and I won’t give up.
I won’t give up on us.  I won’t give up on you.
Don’t give up on me.

Don’t abandon me.  You can count on me.
Sometimes I make a scene, like some drama queen.
I man say some things    I don’t really mean.
I won’t abandon us.  I won’t abandon you.
Don’t abandon me.

Chorus
You can count on me.  Don’t lose faith in me!
You can count on me.  Don’t give up on me!
You can count on me.  Don’t abandon me!
You can count on me.  You can count on me. Don’t walk out on me!

Premium Member When I Leave This World

When I leave this world
It won’t be silently
NO, I will leave behind a note
A note of reproach
For the sin of humanity
In the inability to feel with…to feel for
To truly love
Another human being
Who has the curse of being….
Different

When I leave this world
My words I’ll behind
To a world that was unkind
To a world that only loved
Cookie cutter shapes and sizes
A world with a status quo
That couldn’t be tampered with
A world that embraced
The lovely
The beautiful
The happy….oh the happy
Those with perpetual smiles
With lilting voices of angels
And with beauty of the ages
Those worthy of love
Serene angelic doves
Who never felt despair
But were always bright and fair

When I leave this world
I will leave behind
A legacy for those
Who were unloved
Who didn’t have sound minds
Who struggled along the way
Who tried to be beautiful
Who tried to smile
Through ripped and aching hearts
Who tried to stay afloat
When others would just gloat
Those who tried to be brave
But longed for the grave
To those I will say
“You are beautiful 
You are worthy
You are precious
You are priceless
Your mind though tormented
Is full of beautiful treasure
Don’t blame yourself
For not being able to fit
In this selfish and crazy world
You are not a misfit
The world is unable
To make itself fit
To the dazzling beauty of you
So, just do what it takes
Just do what it takes
To get through the pain
To get to tomorrow
Maybe, maybe
You’ll hear my voice
Whisper to you in the breeze
Telling you to make the world
A better place
A more caring place
Because of YOU!"

Premium Member You Will Know Love

If you can make it through each day
Unconcerned with what others say.
If you can take the time to play
But get your work done, come what may.
If you win, having never fought
And mend the bridges that time tore;
Or be content with what you've got,
And very rarely ask for more;

If you can make a house a home
And happily raise children too;
If you can stay and never roam
And do it cause it's what you do.
If you can speak ill of no one
For gossip's not worth repeating.
Or stick to a task till it's done,
And never think of retreating;

If you can bank your life savings
And not risk it on a gamble,
And avoid expensive cravings
And allow your friends to ramble.
If you can force yourself to cope
And do what it takes to survive,
And live on little more than hope
And the will which keeps you alive;

If you can hold your head up high
Or stoop to help the poor and such.
If you seek truth and not a lie
If you can heal with a mere touch,
If you can be, Mother and wife;
And still find time for God above.
Yours is the Earth and a good life,
And what is more, you will know love!

Premium Member Our Flight

With his kind actions, he took my hand
With unspoken words said “Everything will be ok”
Never in my life did I have such a calming belief
His interest lifted me higher and the views were clear
I was willing to change with the seasons, to do what it takes,
To stay afloat in this peaceful place, carried by such joy
Shared in simplicity, unimagined in this way before
Gratitude soared with me each day, for the time I have
For every sight to be seen by us, to be shared like this
For every inspirational moment, as a bond gets stronger
As loyalty is ignited in me, on this flight together, we see

Love

Verse 1

I wanted to know how it felt
In the beginning, couldn't find it within myself
Longing for it each day 
Help me
Got lost along the way(the way)
Didn't quite know what to expect
It should never be a form of neglect
Should it havebeen worth your while 
Im talking about LOVE , now smile

Chorus 

Where do you find it
LOVE 
Sent perfectly from above 
Above 
Where a person appreciates
Striving work hard
Do what it takes 
Realize we all make mistakes
Learn to accept your flaws 
We are not perfect
No, not at all
Whatever you do 
Dont run to love ?
It comes to you

Verse 2

Be careful what you go, searching for
May not be 
What you had in store
Go and patiently wait
Its worth it
Find yourself
You deserve it
Love is a beautiful thing 
If its shared
By someone who really cares
Stop thinking the worst 
When it comes to falling
They'll pick you up
And keep calling
To make sure you understand 
That love was always apart of the plan

Chorus 

Where do you find it
LOVE 
Sent perfectly from above 
Above 
Where a person appreciates
Striving work hard
Do what it takes 
Realize we all make mistakes
Learn to accept your flaws 
We are not perfect
No, not at all
Whatever you do 
Dont run to love ?
It comes to you

Bridge

That love that's in your eyes 
I see genuine 
Not a disguise 
Inseparable is what we could be
Together 
Making it through any kind of weather
No need to fall off track
Just like a spine
We got each other back
That'll be a fact
No need for recognition or a plaque
In the end you'll know where your heart at 

Chorus 

Where do you find it
LOVE 
Sent perfectly from above 
Above 
Where a person appreciates
Striving work hard
Do what it takes 
Realize we all make mistakes
Learn to accept your flaws 
We are not perfect
No, not at all
Whatever you do 
Dont run to love ?
It comes to you
