Purpose

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

Purpose is the thing that will keep you awake

Purpose will give you the strength to endure what others can’t take

Purpose is God given

Purpose is the reason to be driven

Purpose will lead you every day

Purpose never goes away

Purpose is a guiding light

Purpose is real on sight

Purpose should be fulfilled without fear

Because God is near

Purpose is the seed planted

The result will be a blessing granted

Believe it will come to the surface

Your God given purpose

Sands Of Time

As I look at the sands of time

I discover what’s in me

And what’s meant to be

I move forward without fear

Because God is near

I share what I know

For it will help me grow

As I look at the sands of time

I travel the path God laid

And thank Him for the sacrifices He made

He shows me the way

And I pray every day

It’s God’s will

And it gives me a thrill

As I look at the sands of time

I embrace life in its splendor

My faith I’ll never surrender

I see the woman God created

That will never be over stated

His love is sent from heaven above

And sweeter than a dove

As I look at the sands of time

I realize that life is as good as it gets

I have no regrets

I fall and rise again

I learn where to begin

As I look at the sands of time

Today

Today

Marks a turning point for me

I’ve committed to being the best I can be

Everything’s set in stone

The feelings I have won’t leave me alone

God planted the seed

Of his word I’ll take heed

Today

I carry life’s lessons along on my journey

One ordained by God only

They’ve given me purpose

It’s finally come to the surface

What’s inside me rings true

It’ll carry me through

Today

I take a stand

As God holds my hand

He gives me direction

And provides protection

He keeps me strong

As I move along

Today

I end one chapter and start another

God’s grace is like no other

I thank Him for the path He laid

And the sacrifices He made

Today

I  move forward without fear

God is near

Let me state

God is great

As I face today

The Candle

I see the candle burning brightly

It draws me in nightly

It shows me where to go

And shows me how to grow

To view it is a pleasure

Beyond all measure

I see the candle burning brightly

I use it as a guide

Its importance I can’t hide

It keeps me on the right road

And helps me carry a heavy load

I can move with room to spare

Because the candle is always there

I see the candle burning brightly

It relieves me of all doubt

Its glimmer I can’t do without

Its presences is meant to be

It unveils every mystery

It watches me as I pray

It follows me as I continue on my way

I see the candle burning brightly

I’ll never take it for granted

It’s the seed  God planted

It serves a purpose

I see it as it comes to the surface

My voice I raise

In a song of praise

For whenever I think I’ve faced all I can handle

I see the candle

The Boy I Left Behind

flowers-garden-colorful-colourful

We met on a warm, sunny day

Trouble seemed far away

Yet, we took  a chance

As we did a lover’s dance

Love was what we thought we knew

It wasn’t enough to carry us through

I wonder what would have been

And I wonder what I’ll find

If I go back to the boy I left behind

He was gracious and loved me to the letter

There’s truly no one better

My views were slanted

I took him for granted

Now all I have are memories

Of what used to be

I wonder what would have been

And I wonder what I’ll find

If I go back to the boy I left behind

He stays in my thoughts and dreams

Until I fall apart at the seams

I miss his touch

Because it means so much

I may never get him back again

Yet, I’ll say

As I continue on my way

I wonder what would have been

And I wonder what I’ll find

If I go back to the boy I left behind
