Sometimes the truth trumps love...

Family Truths

What do you say to a young man you love

Who is constantly questioning “why?”

When the answers you know

Will hurt the man so

That his heart would most certainly die

How do you say that your heart hurts from hope

Hope that ceased to exist for some time

How his vision of family formed long ago

Has unfortunately all been a lie

This family he longs for simply cannot abide

All the pain and deceit that it brings

For the members are varied in morals and truth

The things that a family needs to succeed

How can you correct all the wrongs that were done

Hope just cannot be the key

How can contrition absolve anyone?

He from above—must intervene

This family the young man strives to unite

And bring love and respect back within

First must invite God back into their lives

Then, only then, can the healing begin

What do you pray for a young man you love

Who is suffering but just doesn’t see

When the answers you know

Will bring hurt, it is so

Though the truth will then set the man free

No title...just thoughts...

No title; just thoughts...                                  

I lost a family years ago
Why? Because I didn't know
that “fitting in” meant
giving up
my heart and soul
to those I loved


What should I choose
Their love?
My life?
My mind?
Opinions?
Over time
I knew just what I had to do
Say goodbye
Wouldn't you?


Brothers, sisters, even the son
Grandchildren lost, what have I done?
I scream at night when not awake
I weep in daylight-what will it take
To overcome the pain and grief?
Who is this God, that others seek?



Met a friend who felt like me
Spoke of the Man of which I speak
Slowly, surely, found my way
Albeit hard, went day by day
Miss the young ones most of all
They never visit, they never call
Gave it all to Him above
He showed me He was full of love
And He alone is what I need
When my heart hurts, it’s He who bleeds


HE GAVE this handsome friend to me
Together we could stand the heat
And He who brought this friend of mine
Knew we would last until our time
On earth was through
‘til we would be
With Him Above
Living
Happy
Free

It's a Beautiful world...

God, you created a beautiful world
But I’m afraid you made one big mistake
You placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden
Knowing full well that they would not obey


How long does it take
For a heart that is broken
To heal
The hurt go away


You see all
You know all
And somehow You thought
We’d be able to take it and take


But the evil exists
On a scale so large
That I’ve not found a way to escape


From this horror that
Eats at my heart and my soul
PLEASE make it all go away


For the sin didn’t stop
With Adam and Eve
And my mind cannot fathom a way


To cope with the madness
Masquerading as truth
Oh the children absorbed in its wake


For the young are the ones
That we hurt for so badly
I know that this isn’t Your way


Things went terribly wrong
When you gave Eve that choice
And we pay for it day after day


Smite us Dear Lord
Start over again
We need a large input of grace


Send somebody who
Will not eat off that tree
One who’ll put that damn snake in his place


God, you created a beautiful world
But I’m afraid that you made one mistake
You placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden
Full knowing they’d never obey…




NOTE: Do not judge me, I know that God does not make mistakes. Free will is what causes the problems above...and He had a reason for giving that to us....someday, when I go to that Heavenly place, all will be revealed. LMW

Just a Little Note...Between God and Me

I just want to die
Don’t ask me why
It’s between the BIG Guy
And me

I’m not suicidal
It’s just this denial
That permeates all around me


He says it’s not time
But I feel it’s a crime
To be stuck in such
INSANITY

This world has gone crazy
And, no I’m not lazy
But the work for me
I cannot see


He says when my “fun”
On this earth here is done
He’ll gladly send Angels
For me

And he says not to worry
Or be in a hurry
The rules are His don’t you see


So I patiently wait
Though the burden is great
That I carry around hurting me

Still, I just want to die
But don’t ask me why
It rests somewhere
Between God and me

Thoughts on Christianity...words and song

Recently I attended a church service and after leaving, I felt compelled to write this song. It seems to me that all Christians have a different "idea" of what Christianity is. I attend church as often as possible: I LOVE to worship, praise, and honor God. If I'm troubled, or confused, I go directly to Him in prayer. His Word is what I rely on; His guidance I cherish... I'm glad I let God back into my heart and my life. My spiritual journey has brought me out of darkness and into the light...I can feel my soul again, something I thought was once lost...enough about me...Hope you enjoy the lyrics to my song...God Bless You, Linda

Foolish People

I was kneeling at the altar
Practicing my faith
Heard a child of God suffering
Tears streaming down his face
I asked the boy if I could help
He looked so sad and blue
He said he wasn’t “good enough”
But I knew it wasn’t true

CHORUS:
If you’re looking for a Christian
Who never makes mistakes
One who thinks that she is perfect
Well, you’ve come to the wrong place
My faith is strong
My love is true
It’s on Jesus I depend
So, if you’re judging my sincerity
Maybe you should pray again

I put my arms around him
Leaned in to hear his plea
Congregational fingers started
Pointing straight at me
“I don’t know how to be a man”
He whispered in my ear
Felt so helpless, asked my God,
“Will you help me?” (Through a tear)

Hold him, pass along these words
I’m giving now to you
I followed his directions
Got a reaction that was cruel
You were wrong to "hug on him"
You, stupid woman, you
Saw satan laughing in the back
You foolish people, you

CHORUS:
If you’re looking for a Christian
Who never makes mistakes
One who thinks that she is perfect
Well, you’ve come to the wrong place
My faith is strong
My love is true
It’s on Jesus I depend
So, if you’re judging my sincerity
Maybe you should pray again

Sure, one or two folks thanked me
Though the leaders not among
What kind of church does chastise
Those for the goodness they have done?
Guess I’ll never have a family
At least not on this earth
Don’t worry sister, Jesus said
For I know all you’re worth

CHORUS 2X’s
