Molested

I was a bright, outgoing boy, who sat at the front of the class.
Then, one day that all changed, i feared to even raise my hand for a pass.

I had many close friends, loved sports and school plays.
Then on that day fear beset me, and long gone were those days.

I remember my school, i knew it inside and out.
But now i have blank spots, certain things i've shut out.

Thanks to God and His mercy, i don't recall that foul act.
But i know that it happened, no doubt, that's a fact.

Now, to the person who did this, i have nothing to say.
But, my God will remember, and He'll get you someday!

My Heart It Will Go On

I found true love, but held too tight
Then one day it flew away
Now after pain, and after hurt
I go on day by day

The pain was bad, like none before
It tore right through my heart
Yet still i live and i go on
Though i can't believe we are apart

My love for you was true you see
And one day i hope you learn
That though we started off things wrong
My heart for you still yearns

I may never see your face again
For we may always be apart
I may even find another love
Yet your love will own my heart

I will always save a space inside
Although for now you're gone
You will always be my one true love
But my heart it will go on.

The Only One

Like the cuts of a million razor blades
   You've cut my heart to shreds
And though i'll never be the same
   My loving heart it bled

I knew you were the one for me
   So i let you in my heart
Then you lied, and tricked, and left me
   Which tore my living world apart

They say there's one for every soul
   And with you i found true love
Then you turned your back on me
   And God himself felt pain above

You had your plans, and played them well
   But this is what you'll learn
That although things did not work out
   That mine's a love that burns

There is no one upon this earth
   That will love you as i do
And maybe after all your games
   You'll find how i loved you

I'm the only one who loves you so
   The only one who'd care
And even if the years go by
   I'll still love you if you dare

I'm the only one who knows your heart
   And still i love you dear
And every minute you're away
   Mine bleeds another tear

The Printing Press Operator

The sound of the presses
   While they run at high speed
      The reporters and editor
         Trying to fill a town's need

The feel of fresh newsprint
   And the smell of the ink
      Working on broken machinery
         Sometimes old and extinct

Trying to meet deadlines
   Proofreading as i go
      A fast-paced stressful job
         But it's work i love so

To see the newspaper
   As it comes hot off the press
      Taking pride in my printing
         For in so many homes it will rest

To leave at days end
   And feel pride in my chest
      Now the town's got their news
         I can go home, get some rest.

A Prayer To Jehovah

Jehovah my God, full of mercy and love
Is how i start each prayer to my Father above.
I thank you dear God, for not turning away
For seeing into my heart, and for guiding my way.
Without you in my life, my soul would be lost.
I turn away from my sins, i'll serve you at all cost.
Forgive me dear God, for straying away.
For living in darkness, not willing to pray.
I am a frail human, my life filled with sin;
Please guard me from Satan, and his grip again.
You've always been with me, held me under your wing,
I thank you Jehovah, your praises i sing.
I thank you Jehovah, for a new day of life;
For giving me guidance, and easing my strife.
I thank you dear Father, for all that you give.
For food and for shelter, without you we don't live.
I thank you for the beauty, that surrounds us always;
For singing and laughter, for they ease our days.
I thank you for family, and friends that do care;
And for your written word, you gave us to share.
I thank you Jehovah, and please forgive me my sins.
Help me keep Satan at bay, so my soul he don't win.
I ask and give thanks, through Christ Jesus your son.
May you hear my prayer, and may your will be done.
Amen.

Ain'T Life Funny

Ain't life funny
With it's turns and twists
The things life deals you
And the things you miss.

Ain't life funny
With it's irony and grit
You learn to laugh about it
Or just give up and quit!

Last Request

Love gone wrong
Life gone bad
Tremendous hurt
Deeply sad

Questions asked
No reply
Damn it all
I want to die

Why me Lord
What did i do
Is it because
I turned on you

What is life
Without a love
Without a God
Up high above

I need love
I need to share
Without that God
I don't care

The world is cold
The world is dark
For without love
It's lost it's spark

I pray to you
Forgive me please
I ask for help
Get on my knees

I need some hope
I need some light
Please save me God
I have no fight

Just give me ease
Take pain away
Release my soul
I beg today

I live for love
But it's no more
So life's a waste
It i abhore

I try so hard
To live and love
Do what is right
By God above

But now i'm lost
And full of hurt
I want to die
Go back to dirt

No one to care
You've left me too
So take what's left
I give to you!

Grandpa

In the hills of West Virginia, at a log house he called home,
Is where grandpa spent so many years, though other places he did roam.
He was a country man at heart, and seemed a man before his time.
He would study books for hours, yet no mountain he can't climb.

He'd been a farmer, and coal miner, and a secret service agent too.
He loved his bible and his garden, never once did he seem blue.
Open-minded, and religious, he had views that few could see;
And even though i was a youngster, he would spend much time with me.

He was old, and wise, and feeble. Saw much life before he died.
When i heard that he had passed away, i just hung my head and cried.

My Hell

Surrounded by madness, engulfed in it's grip;
Through the door of insanity, sometimes we all slip.

A world filled with darkness, a bottomless pit.
Chaos and destruction, no one gives a spit.

Hatred and anger, well up deep within;
And nothing else matters, everything seems a sin.

No hope in my eyes, my faith has long went.
My reason for living, like my energy, well spent.

Somewhere at the bottom, i reach out a hand;
Hoping against all, on a kind heart it lands.

My world has all crumbled, there seems no way out.
Every move i make falters, i can't help but shout.

My night's filled with worry, my day's filled with dread.
My faith has long left me, i just want to be dead.

Somewhere in the darkness, reality strikes hard.
The pain is unbearable, i want to blow my brains 'cross the yard!

I reach out for faith, and reach out for love;
But darkness besets me, where's my God up above?

No one seems to love me, no one seems to care.
The whole world is my burden, alone, not to share.

The light shines no longer, I'm at the end of my rope;
Send me help, my God, quickly, or i won't be able to cope.

All i know now is pain, a great darkness inside.
So much anger and chaos, and nowhere to hide.

What's left of my life? Why should i keep trying?
The pain inside hurts so, all i think about is dying!

Have Mercy On My Soul

I do love my God
  And He knows that is true
    But my whole life has been pain
      My mood's always blue

I do have a big heart
  Caring and knowledge to share
    Yet pain's always around me
      Life seems so very unfair

I've tried so hard at love
  But always fell flat on my face
    I've played the fool long enough
      I just want out of this race

Taking one's life might be wrong
  But living like this has got to be too
    So have mercy on my soul God
      For you know I've always loved you!
