Heartache

Sure I think about you now and then
But it's been a long long time.
I've gota good life now, I've moved on.
So when you cross my mind

I try not to think about
What might have been
Cause that was then
And we have taken different roads.
We can't go back again
There's no use giving in.
And there's no way to know
What might have been.

We could sit and talk about this all night long.
And wonder why we didn't last.
Yes they might be the best days
We will ever know.
But we'll have to leave them in the past.

The same old look in your eyes
It's a beautiful night
I'm so tempted to stay.
But too much time has gone by
We should just say goodbye
And turn and walk away.

No we'll never know
What might have been.

Reflection

Who are you?
I barely recognize.
That light once in your eyes
Is now a dull hue.

The loss of a soul
You've come to be.
And now it's a mystery
Have you always played a role?

Sadly, I wipe away a tear
And humbly turn from the mirror

Joyful

Beloved one, beloved one awake!
Arise from the slumber you crave.
Reap good in the choices you make.
Use everything that I proudly gave.

Take nothing but give all
Remain pure in all that you do.
Make light so not to fall
But know that I am with you.

Enigma

Why are there children walking around at midnight, why do people get cancer, why was evil created, why do some people get murdered, why are there rapists, why do people think that children are the place to live out sexual fantasies, why does the success of some people cost others their lives, why are there places that control what people think, why do they sterilize the needles of lethal injections, why are there so many unwanted pregnancies, why are there couples that want a baby so badly but never conceive, why do the things we want most out of life seem so hard to find, why is happiness defined so many different ways, why is love one of the happiest thing and yet one of the most painful thing, why is it so hard to forgive those that hurt you, why can we not comprehend unfailing, unending, unconditional love, why is it so cold in China, why does the ocean have so much salt in it, why do we not know of any other life outside of earth, how did the planets all get there, what is the deal with different dimensions around us, why do we make choices that hurt us, why do we draw water blue when it's really clear, who made a rainbow a sign of homosexuality, why do some people think that taking their life is the only way out, why are we so scared to take a leap of faith, why is it so difficult to trust someone with your secrets, why do we try to make good first impressions, why are we unable to get rid of "shock" value, why has religion tainted the word "God", why do some people think that hate is the answer to all their problems, why are the plastic cups in China so flimsy, why are fortune cookies always served after Chinese meals in the states but nonexistent in China, why is it so hard to be honest with people, why are our feelings so sensitive to us and yet others feelings mean nothing, why does mankind tend to make decisions that better themselves, what does it mean to be made in the image of God, why does green mean go and red means stop?


*I've been known to have deep thoughts occasionally

Relationships

Waiting for the maturation
Waiting for the decision.
Waiting for the consummation
Waiting for the solution.

I wait for these, humbly and patiently
For this I know and trust.
The truth will show unblindly
And all will be made in just.

We are yours, give us hearts of servants

"He was led like a lamb to the slaughter" Isa 53:7 and yet He did not open His mouth for on the cross God treated Him as though He had lived my imperfect life, so that I could live His perfect life.

If we are to be powered for life and ministry, it will only happen as we are on our knees at the foot of the cross. Douglas B. Wicks

We are justified by faith that the cross has redeemed our lives, that's good news :)
