Take a Little Rest

What a better way to rest.

Are you feeling restless?
Find a serene place to relax a bit
Just take a deep breath and sit
And look at nature with eagerness.

Do not be upset with trials that mark your day
In this quiet place, throw them away
In return, think of the beautiful things that happened today
Those will be guiding tools for your success someday.

Ease your heart of all wicked thoughts
That tranquility will control all your emotions
And joy will always be a part of every decision
Hence, your life will always search the truth.

Learn to count all your blessings heartily
I know the Lord gives you abundantly
Quickly you'll experience total rest, delighted you stop a bit
In this serene place, to take a deep breath and sit.

Healed and Whole

In times of trials, God is always watching us.

One day I dug a little hole
And put my hurt inside
I thought that I could just forget
I'd put it there to hide.

But that little hurt began to grow
I covered it everyday
I couldn't leave it and go on
It seemed the price I had to pay.

My joy was gone, my heart was sad
Pain was all I knew.
My wounded soul enveloped me
Loving seemed to hard to do.

One day, while standing by my hole
I cried to God above
And said, "If You are really there--
They say, You are a God of Love".

And just like that- He was right there
And just put His arms around me
He wiped my tears, His hurting child
There was no safer place to be.

I told him all about my hurt
I opened up my heart
He listened to each and every word
To every sordid part.

I dug down deep and got my hurt
I brushed the dirt away
And placed it in the Master's hand
And healing came that day.

He took the blackness of my soul
And set my spirit FREE !
Something beautiful began to grow
Where the hurt used to be.

And when I look at what has grown
Out of my tears and pain
I remember every day to give my hurt to Him
And never bury them again.

Man and Wife

A husband's promise to his wife to keep their love on fire till ages come.

If I told you once.
I told you twice.
I need you now.
Turn out the lights.
And stay with me,
through eternity.
As man and wife.
In love with life.

Let the green grass grow.
In the country's fields.
Let fellow man take the wheel.
And live his life, to see it through.
As man and wife.
In love with life.

And each time, you think of me.
Picture me in love with you.
So, let the gardens grow,
and lay the seed.
Then till the soil, for what we need.
And stay with me,
through eternity.
As man and wife.
In love with life.

A Painful Reason

Don’t be surprised if the people we like the least are those that need our affection.

I believe there’s a reason
For each individual’s action
Though I find some amusing
Others irritating and annoying.

Some slave to lusts, they can’t resist
Others tell lies at any cost
Just remember, those we like the least
Might need our love the most!

They could be victims of injustice
Or have been ridiculed all their lives
In a realm of deception they find peace
Just to make sure in this harsh world they survives.

Pride restored, they now insist
That in this game called life, they coast.
Just remember, those we like the least
Might need our love the most!

Imagine

You and I alone tonight
Holding one another tight
Warmth against the cooling night
Waiting for the morning’s light.

Imagine...
My lips touch your lovely face
Passion from our first embrace
Pulses which begin to race
Thrilling from the hectic pace.

Imagine...
Fingers now caress your skin
Actions speak the words within
My mind, my soul begins to spin
For it is you I want to win.

Imagine...
Feel the beauty that is you
Feel how good it could be, too
Let go today, surrender to
The magic that is me and you.

Alas...
Flowing like a raging stream
Feelings cause my heart to scream
I know our hearts will never team
Except for here... within my dream.

Seek Not My Heart

Oh gentle winds 'neath moonlit skies,
Do not you hear my heartfelt cries?

Below the branches, here about,
Do not you sense my fear and doubt?
Side glistening rivers, sparkling streams,
Do not you hear my woeful screams?

Upon the meadows, touched with dew,
Do not you see my hearts a'skew?
Beneath the thousand twinkling stars,
Do not you feel my jagged scars?

Seek not my mournful heart kind breeze,
For you'll not find it 'mongst these trees.

It's scattered 'cross the moonlit skies,
Accompanied by heartfelt sighs.
It's drifting o're the gentle rain,
A symbol of my silent pain.

It's buried 'neath the meadow fair,
Conjoined with all the sorrow there.
It's lost among the stars this night,
Too far to ease my quiet fright.

No gentle winds, seek not my heart,
For simply ... it has torn apart.

Can I Be?

Just a simple thought on your birthday

Sweetheart, can I be

The wind that fills your sail
The hand that lifts your veil
The moon that moves your tides
And the sun coming up in your eyes.

Darling, can I be

The spark that lights you up
The mystery gem that makes your smiles pop up
The prince always in a jester mood
Or the knight to keep you from cold.

Honey, can I be

The fantasy that you've been dreaming of
The reality that sets you off
The compass when you get lost
The magical sight that restore your bearings.

Love, I want to be

The first thing you see in the morning
Just your everything
The man that cherish your words
And finish your thoughts.
