To Forgiven: May 06 - March 07

   I stand, crying, on the side of the road. My
heart aches, so raw and broken, deep within
my chest. Such a pain, on could never express.
I can't breathe, can't draw in any air to
my thirsty lungs. I can't speak, can't see
anything amidst the tears. Your body.
   If Charlie Chaplin had been a cat, he
would have been Forgiven, my Forgiven, my
baby.
   And here I stand, crying on the side of
the road. I can't breathe, can't speak, I
don't understand. My heart, my soul, can't
take this pain. Your lifeless body resting in
the grass. Poor baby, my baby.
   My Forgiven.

Mismatch Poem

   I loved you, love me!
   Let me breathe fire from
deep in my soul. Soulfire and light.
   Sweep love aside, for
the stars never burned so brightly
as when a broken heart cried.

Lightning

  Wild beauty, untamed
by the ways of man.
   An awesome power
no one can comprehend.
   Death and beauty, sin
and holy, build up in
one powerful burst of light.

A Short Hymn

   Lord, send your glory down, wash me clean
away. Send your glory down, wash me clean
away.

Moonlit Prayers

   As I look out of my window, I gaze out into the velvety blackness. I stare at the creamy white moon and whisper a prayer.
   "Dear God, please protect daddy as he works. Guide and help him down this long road called life. Thank you so much for giving him to me. Please, Lord, please guide me." I turn out the light and lay down in bed. I consider the prayer I just said. As the moonlight pours through my window, I sigh.
   "Lord, thank you for mama and how she guides me along the way. Strengthen her when life seems too hard to bear. Protect my siblings, Lord. Even if they're annoying, thanks for giving them to me. In Jesus' name, amen."

No Words

   There are no words
to describe the feelings
running through my heart
and mind. When will I
be able to express what
I really feel? It's
funny how one single moment
can change your life forever.

A Prayer

   Make me useful to the Lord's service.
His Holy word held within my heart.
Make my love be only for him and my
joy in struggling be not in Vain.
