Thunderstorms

Life's thunderstorms always come at a moment when noone suspects
it seems like everytome it's sunny
first come gray clouds, then it downpours
sometimes it rains so hard
you may get knocked over
the winds may be so strong
you may get pushed away
the lightening comes in so many directions
you may get struck down
it thunders so loud you may just want to bury your head and never come up again
just remember that God is your umbrella
troubled times is like troubled waters
they come and go
so try and smile and keep your head afloat
because after every thunderstorm there is peace, tranquility, and a rainbow
as a promise that there will never be a storm like this again

The Beast

sometimes I feel like a gladiator trapped in an arena without my sword
help me battle against the beast Oh Lord
the beast may be the boss who won't give me an promotion
the beast may be a friend's lack of devotion
the beast may be a mother who won't hold me
the beast may be every brother who tried to control me
the beast may be the stranger who attacks me without reason
the beast may be the pneumonia that sickens me out of season
the beast may be the fog that causes me not to see
the beast may be the car that collides into me
the beast may be the bone that tells my throat to choke
the beast may be the cigarette that compells me to smoke
the beast may be the voices that says God doesn't hear or see
so armor me oh Lord for the beast may just be me
