Christian and Kris ----Rewritten----

I consider Christian a good friend to me
He stands tall, as a mighty oak tree
Who could imagine or want to see
An oak fall so devastatingly
When she was taken so savagely
Kris

He ranted, he raved so angrily
He cursed and yelled quite bitterly
Then he would sadly cry to me 
And ask, “Why? Why? Why?” to me
Would God take the mother of his baby?
Kris

He made an effort to move on then
I tried to be a supportive friend 
I doubt he read the things I’d send
Then he’d ask me, “When? When? When?”
Would his heart’s healing for her begin?
Kris

I can picture him very late at night
With his eyes closed real, real tight
Picturing the two of them in the bright sunlight
Knowing these feelings are not those he can fight
So he whispers to no one in the night
I love you, Kris.

Christian and Kris

Christian is a friend of mine He stands tall, as a big oak tree Who could imagine a tree falling So devastatingly... as when he got the news of the passing of Kris He ranted and he raved at me He cursed and he yelled at me Then he would cry to me And ask “Why? Why? Why?” to me “would God take away the mother of my child?” Kris He made an effort to move on then I tried to be a supportive friend I doubt he read the things I’d send Then he’d ask me, “When? When? When?” He wanted to know when the healing began from losing Kris I can picture him late at night With his eyes closed real, real tight Picturing the two of them in the bright sunlight Knowing his feelings aren’t those he can fight So he whispers to no one in the night I love you, Kris.

Which Path To Follow

Which Path To Follow
I hear some sounds behind me I turn quickly yet no one is there Could it be the rustling of the leaves... Or God's Whisper in the air? I know not what route to follow At this crucial part of life Do I light a match to my world... And stop being someone's wife? On the outside I appear just fine Inside, no joy seems within reach Yet is not until death do we part... What our churches have us teach? Is personal happiness then Against what I've been taught? If so, then my dreams and desires Have just all been for naught

Dreaming

Pain, love, confusion
Thoughts twisted in her head
Troubled times, troubled years
What lies for her ahead?

Her children, her past
Race through her mind
Struggling, fighting
All at once she is blind

A pause, her head is clear
Oddly, the same her hand
She looks about, so beautiful
What is this Perfect Land?

Clarity becomes her
She sees those she’s loved
Visions include one’s below
As well as one’s above

The sadness seen below
Makes her turn toward The Light
No suffering remains
She is with God tonight
