Good Morning

Each morning I wake in my cocoon
I reach and stretch to touch you
Just for the assurance that you're still here
And put aside my deepest fears
It's storming

I brush my fingers o'er your skin
Breathing deep to take you in
Your honeysuckle fills the air
Intoxicating nectar
Good morning

  Be Kind, Content, Grateful, and Devout   My inner peace comes from trusting God in all things and refusing to take them back from him. When I let something go, it's given to him, so that he may control the outcome. What better engineer to give a problem to than the creator of the universe. I create anxiety when I wrestle with God over the course He takes me down. I create anxiety for others when I worry over that which I have no control; thereby creating events and circumstances that God did not intend to be created as He works through my problem. I can prevent much by being peaceful, by being centered, by being kind, devout, and content.

I'm grateful for my home; for the dog that loves me even when I don't deserve it. I'm grateful for the career that I chose early on in li

SECOND CHANCES

You're here a Little Early He Said as I Stood Tall What Brought you Here so Prematurely Did you Take a Fall I Knew not how to Answer Him My Lip Began to Quiver At Once I Felt so All Ashamed My Knees Began to Shiver He Rose up from his Mighty Throne And Slowly Came to Me Wrapped His Arms Around my Head And Began to Comfort Me I Expected You One Day my Son That Day was Not Today Now I Need you to Confess Just How This Went Astray Why Didn't you Just Trust in Me To Take you Through the Trials Then Took my Face into His Hands No Point in Your Denial I Clinched His Robe and Begged Him Please I Need to Just Come In But in My Holy Father's House My Verdict Now was Sin There was no Sacrifice to Cover The Awful Thing I'd Done His Holiness Withdrew from Me So Now I Stood Alone Desolation Came on Me Like Water from a Wave My Heart Sunk Deep into my Chest Eternity the Grave Now Just as I began to Leave All Hope for Life in Heaven Tears of Joy Filled Both my Eyes My Alarm Clock Just

Forgiveness

On bended knee I seek you My father whom I trust I feel your disappointment My pain and shame too much Too much for whom a voice replies You forget now where you tread When first you called upon my name My hand was on your head I cast your sins from east to west I forgive you now my son Your price was paid upon a cross Your soul at stake was won What's past is past I heard him speak Now go and sin no more Find a wife that loves me too And watch my blessings pour I'll teach her all about you What comforts you in pain And how you love to take a walk In the summer evening rain The man in you will quickly be The sunshine in her life She'll have your love the rest of days And be your faithful wife She'll have to learn how to forgive For you're a complex man But if she does her life will be Amazing through my plan So too it's you that now must learn To trust me in the rain For when you walk I walk with you That's where I heal
