Bitter Tears

When first we met I lost my heart
To her while in that bar
A drink and dance what happiness
I thought I'd found my star

Then circumstance took us apart
And life got in our way
I always hoped to find again
That girl that wouldn't stay

Then once again I found her there
And once again found love
Two hearts as one under the sun
And blessed by God above

But bitter tears prevailed one night
The She Wolf came within
And left us both with broken hearts
With her tale of shame and sin

Now the last of this is not yet wrought
The tale of love unsure
For we do love each other still
Despite the saboteur

 Her name will be upon my lips
Even with my dying breath
And I shall love her all my days
Until we part in death

I can prevent much by being peaceful, by being centered, by being kind, devout, and content. Mostly, all things will find their stasis when I am grateful.   I am grateful for my parents, who loved me each in their own ways; for my siblings who still love me, and whom I love dearly. 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...

I hear the Booming Voice of The Archangel in the Cloud I hear the Angel's Trumpet Resounding Clear and Loud Every Gaze Upon the Lion Megiddo's Valley Fully Won Clouds that Part the Darkness For the Light of Heaven's Come Every Knee that will not Bow Is broken where it Stands So Not a One's Remaining Who His Glory will Withstand I see Those Who Died Before Me Who Loved you even More Rising from the Ashes Of Earthly Death Before Caught up with You, Christ Jesus, Ascending through the Air, Transformed in but a Moment, To Heaven's Latest Heir

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...
