Perception

Some think I’m rude

Some think I’m crude

Some think I’m shy

And don’t understand why

Some think I’m quiet

And wouldn’t cause a riot

Some think my power

Comes hour upon hour

Some say I talk too much

And lack a tender touch

While some think I fear

What’s coming up the rear

Some think I love to fight

And don’t know what’s right

While some think I don’t care

And have nothing to share

Some think I waste time

And forget about my prime

But God was there from my inception

And all this is perception

Heart Light

You travel coast to coast

Dream is what you do most

You move without fear

Cause passion lies near

Right or wrong

It keeps you strong

It’s what you feel

You know it’s real

So before daylight

Turn on your heart light

You let it be known

Ways in which you’ve grown

You’re truly blessed

And not the least bit stressed

You’ve come very far

You’ve reached for a star

You can spread love

Like heaven above

So before daylight

Turn on your heart light

You plants various seeds

As you do good deeds

It makes you smile

And praise God for a while

It soothes your soul

It makes you whole

God turned you around

You’re on solid ground

So before daylight

Turn on your heart light

Private Passion

I awaken each day

Come what may

I say a silent prayer

I see a sign God is there

I lift my voice

As I begin to rejoice

I start my journey

One meant for me only

I let the world see

The very best of me

It’s not hard to do

It shapes me through and through

The world knows

As my heart grows

I take my time

Cause I’m in my prime

I embrace every dream

Strange though it may seem

It’s an important part

Of my tender heart

The lessons make clear

What should be held dear

I keep going

And I keep growing

For this is my private passion

Steal Away

Let’s steal away

To another day

One filled with love

As soft as a dove

One we can share

If we dare

One we can see

Is truly meant to be

One God ordained

One totally ingrained

Let’s steal away

To all we know

To a place where we can grow

Where we learn from the past

As we make every moment last

Where faith is at the core

Of all we adore

Where we see what’s real

And what time can reveal

As we gain strength

From praying at length

It’s not hard to do

It’s a blessing through and through

It’s our time

We’re in our prime

So let’s steal away

The Mirrors Of My Mind

The mirrors of my mind

Are all I can find

They reveal my heart

Where everything should start

They make clear

What I hold dear

And the path I follow

Never rings hollow

They keep me grounded

In the word God founded

The mirrors of my mind

Show my journey

And time with God only

He shows me the way

And I cherish every day

It’s something pure

It makes me feel secure

Right or wrong

Faith keeps me strong

They show the stories told

And the hand I hold

That will never cease

My prayers will only increase

I’ve searched high and low

And I do know

The best thing I can find

Is the mirrors of my mind

All I See

All I see

Is what’s meant to be

The love that’s mine

And I think that’s fine

I see moments shared

And who really cared

I see the wonderful Journey

Ordained by God only

And the past

That makes days last

All I see is God’s plan

Now I know I can

I see my purpose

Rising to the surface

And the true glory

In telling my story

I see what’s complete

And it taste sweet

I see what’s real

And what I can’t conceal

I see solid ground

And what turned me around

I’m on my way

I to a brighter day

And what’s meant for me

Is all I see
