All Grown

What wouldn't I give for a comforting hug

Like wrapped in a blanket, all warm and all snug

To laugh without feeling self-conscious one bit

While talking with friends round a table we'd sit

I miss feeling accepted as me

With no changes, no fix-ups, no worry, you see

My friends are all gone with lives of their own

I guess this is what happens once people are grown

Untouchable

The elusive desire taunts me

Always slightly beyond my grasp

Anticipation motivates me to never give up

Yet it, as always, remains

Untouchable

Little boys

Boys will be boys

But I tent to find

That boys will be noise

Just about every day

I’ve also found

About little boys

That these little monsters

Also love toys

No matter what

These little boys do

Boys bring you joys

I’m sure you have found too

Angels

When thinking of Angels I often see

The ministers of deity

Angels fly on angel wings

To tell the world of sacred things

But oft times when friends are close

I feel the presence of Angels most

When I’m troubled they are there

To lift the burden that I bear

Angels come as friends and such

To offer up their heavenly touch

Friends are Angels in our life

To help us over come our strife

And with the hope my friend brings

I feel I’m held in Angel wings

Reflection

I'm thankful for this time of year
That brings me happiness and chear
To think of things I've received
And all the things that I've achieved
I can say, with thankful heart
I'm grateful for all you impart
This years been good, but it's the past
I hope the next ones like the last

Prayer from the Heart

My my bedside I am kneeling
Asking, Lord, what am I feeling
Am I happy or am I sad
Am I good or am I bad

I need help, Lord, I pray
To make it through another day
Feelings flying all about
Help me Lord to sort them out

Is this love? I have to know
Tell me which way I should go
Should I go or should I stay
Help me, Lord, to find my way

I'm feeling all mixed up inside
I want to stay, yet still to hide
You're the only one to help me now
To make it through this day, somehow

I know now, Lord, what I should do
Just help me, Lord, to see it through
I'll do what you say with all my might
Thank you, Lord, and goodnight

River of Tears

a lonely boat sails through
a river of tears
passengers all unaware
of the pain

issuing form the river
upon which they
sail
beauty unparalleled is what
they see
in the crystal clear
water below
reverently they sail

in awe

down the river
of tears
