The eyes would rather not engage the world.
Cotton mouth, parched, and aware of a thirst.
The muscles, lobbying to remain curled.
Feet swing to the floor, prepared for the worst.
Stiffness escapes in most audible groans.
Shuffling, a zombie, a gruesome undead.
Articulating two hundred plus bones
Fills the old body with deep sense of dread.
Missy don’t care or she knows how to cure;
Calling me upward and into the day.
The life of a dog, so simple and pure:
There’s time to rest, but it’s now time to play.
First cup of coffee; I just might survive.
Greet the day boldly, alert and alive.
I pray I have bravery
I pray I have positivity
I need an optimistic state of mind
I want to be His kind and be kind
Have zealous, marvelous anticipation
I want us both to have unwavering hope
Let’s be prepared for the worst
Be prepared to come to Him first
Don’t be weary please
Lord, set us free at ease
Have joyous sensation, not false expectation
I want us both to have unwavering hope
Grow dependent on God's way of life
The worldly standards cut like a knife
Our emotions can really betray us sometimes
Our feelings lose focus on what’s real at times
Have faith in lament-like tribulation
I want us both to have unwavering hope
It is clearly out of our control that we lose control
Frustration is in our discouraged soul as a whole
Hopelessness will try to take our positivity away
Hopefulness will prevail and lead us not astray
Have eternal love, mercy and determination
He wants us both to have unwavering hope
I don't care what people say,
I stood behind you anyway,
I knew that things were gonna change,
I wish you didn't attack my faith,
And when you were breathing down my neck,
I knew you would put me to the test,
But I was already prepared for the worst,
And I already knew the sacrifice would hurt,
But in my heart I was willing,
To experience the change that love was giving,
I did not intentionally leave,
The accident caused my eyes to see,
That God was protecting and changing my heart through it all,
That that small sacrifice was preparing me for the call.
Dear diary,
Earlier I asked Mommy when Daddy would return,
And she simply smiled, "Soon, Little Bird."
But when I left the room, I could hear Mommy crying,
Then fell to her knees and prayed to the higher world.
No one will tell me why Daddy hasn't come back yet,
Won't he be back here for Christmas Eve?
I walked back down and peered around the corner,
Watching as Mommy cried and turned to leave.
Why won't they tell me anything, I'm desperate to know,
I don't know if I can open any gifts without my Daddy there.
Taking pictures to savour the memories, he was always present,
But as I drift off tonight, I wonder why he isn't here.
The next day, Mommy held a note in her hand,
"The funeral is scheduled for December twenty-first."
I went up and asked Mommy "What is that for?"
But I was not prepared for the worst.
Now, he will not talk to me anymore,
He won't be here for Christmas another year.
Now, he is on my list to Santa,
But I know something that dear
Can't come back.
I miss you Daddy.
Turning to the sky
Something Unfamiliar
Winds brought them over
Friends ran, some greeted
But I prepared for the worst
In end, I was right
Two Worlds Colliding
L-Up
These clouds above my head
Thick, dark, yet weightless
Daily reminders and warnings
that we should always be prepared for the worst
Clouds
You act as an umbrella over the Earth
Shading us from deadly rays
Yet you pour on and dispirit me
The Sun resigns for a while
and clouds take its place
Oh harsh, scorching, sphere of fire
I wait for your return
There is one thing certain without a doubt.
You must never let the dog get out.
You should be aware of his propensity to fight.
If he gets outside, things will not be right.
The dog displays a large amount of courage.
However, it is his scrapping you must discourage.
Remember when the neighbors complained before.
You must not let the dog get out the door.
Make sure he is secured with a leash first.
If he runs out free, be prepared for the worst.
He has a bite as strong as the grip of a vise.
Letting him out would not be considered wise.
Around people, there is no dog better.
However, with other dogs, he is a blood letter.
Be careful, or town officials will take him away.
Never let him out on his own any day.
I'm going to take this pain
Out of your life this time
And only so I'll see you smile
This may not br
The one and perfect being
But bewteen us all things are flawless
The morning will come
As we both may haev wished
With your head upon my chest
And I will still love you
While I'm gone away
I know it's here to stay
Until I decide to give up
I know we may still change
I'm prepared for the worst
While hoping for the best
But whatever comes first
I'll commit to beholding
And if it never should ha worked
I'll make it so you don't remember
The pain I have replaced
And the memory of us ever lasting
Helmet of Love,
Gloves of Apprehension,
Breastplate of Morality,
Sword of discontent,
We as a people are prepared for the worst,
But unprepared for the best,
Percieved as perfect,
But we, Perfectly flawed...
