The strongest part of my life is in the places people don't see,
It's in the times my hearts crashed and surrendered where I believe God has set me free,
When we sit in situations for longer than we like,
And constantly ask why, yet love consistently stays and fights,
When we have faith we will receive an answer, and patiently wait at the door,
Even when all we hear is silence, but in our hearts we know there's more,
Even when the world is against us with their logic and their advice,
And there's no sense in trying to explain to them because in your heart you know it's right,
They do not have your eyes, they cannot feel your pain,
They cannot see the purpose of the love you constantly gave,
But God knows, He sees the deepness of the love they couldn't fathom,
And it is for His love, and His purpose for His kingdom.

Some of them wonder, some of them fear,
Not knowing the day or hour I appear,
Some cheer and are confident and in faith believe,
And some are seeing the truth in tears on their knees,
You will see all kinds who know in their heart,
Some will acknowledge me, and some will not,
All of these years, you have written your heart down to understand,
I have spoken to you and through you with the stroke of your pen,
And the people and the distractions that have tried to stand in your way,
You have left on purpose to be with me more each day,
I am always with you, and I told you, you are mine,
Do not allow the world to separate us this time,
I will show you how to set boundaries, stay close to me,
The distractions will diminish, and your heart will be set free.

PURPOSE YOU MADE ME BEAUTIFUL
Gracefully mercy Lord;
Embrace fully beautiful;
my love for you...
You've purposed me, wonderful;
So in giving;
Your breath in me living;
I am so thankful;
That on purpose you God made me beautiful;

Come kiss me baby and I’ll light your fire
I’ll melt you like the center of the sun
impassioned flame will sexy strum your lyre
in molten vibes of music - one on one
together we will fly the solar wind
on silky whispered thrills we both will ride
in ecstasy we’ll feel just like we’ve sinned
seductive absolution satisfied
so touch your lips to mine and we’ll explode
a supernova of our cosmic lust
sweet sparks we’ll make let brightness be bestowed
on universe - our love affair a must!
in melted stardust ink I write your name
on serendipity that’s yours to claim

Crippled from my childhood memories,
and a past riddled in agony and pain;
I grew up confused of who I was,
and wondered if I was insane.
Crippled in my turbulent teenage years,
by the awkwardness of being shy;
I was so embarrassed of who I was,
that I really just wanted to die.
Crippled in my first relationship,
she hated her time with me;
She dropped me without a parachute,
another loser in a barren sea.
Crippled in my last try at marriage,
she had her own agenda from the start;
She stole two boys I loved so dear,
and left me with a broken heart.
Crippled from the lack of self respect,
that I almost ended it all;
But just as I threw myself of the cliff,
God caught me in mid-fall.
Crippled by guilt and unworthiness,
as he held me before his face;
I let him have my heart that day,
when he embraced me in his grace.

Showing off the ultimate bathing fright,
worked all winter preparing a delight.
Laid off the usual beer,
summer now finally here.
His Speedo package outrageous and tight!
*For the battle of the bulge contest. It only takes one Speedo to ruin a day at the beach!
