Still Standing

We’ve been scorned

Had our hearts torn

We’ve been shamed

We’ve been defamed

We’ve faced every day

With darts coming our way

We’ve stumbled here and there

Not knowing who would care

We’ve spent some time

Remembering our prime

While wondering where to go

How to share what we know

We’ve faced naysayers galore

While praying for more

We’ve continued the journey

Meant for us only

Despite a rough landing

We’re still standing

We’ve had headache after headache

Didn’t know how much we could take

We’ve traveled far

While healing every scar

We’ve searched for solid ground

Not know how to turn around

We’ve felt some pain

Not knowing what we’d gain

We’ve been all alone

Wonder what we’d call our own

We’ve wondered what we’d face

As we continue our race

We’ve been used

We’ve been confused

We’ve searched for peace

We’ll never release

We’ve searched the soul

For what makes life whole

We’ve searched for love

Sent by heaven above

We’ve searched for the light

That shines day and night

We’ve fallen to our knees

Wondering who to please

But despite a rough landing

We’re still standing

Long Walk Home

During the long walk home

We let our souls roam

We talked about the plan

God reveals when He can

We held each other close

Cause our bond matters most

We shared the dreams

That make us burst at the seams

We lifted one voice

Before we began to rejoice

We embraced the way

We live every day

We found something pure

We began to feel secure

And we said a silent prayer

Cause we knew God was there

During the long walk home

We forgot about the past

We made the moment last

We carried the lessons

That became heartfelt confessions

We found our purpose

Lying at the surface

We turned over every stone

Before finding a love of our own

We found a safe place

To walk at our own pace

We shared what we learned

We revealed the stripes we earned

We saw what’s real

What’s too difficult to conceal

God dried every tear

God removed every fear

He put us on a new journey

One meant for us only

We shared a smile

That lasted quite awhile

We gained strength

As we talked at length

And our souls continued to roam

During the long walk home

Food For Thought

God is saying to you today, “Before this month is over, God will give you a reason to celebrate. Your situation has been overwhelming, but don’t lose hope. Keep going. You’re being attacked because this is your breakthrough season. God is fighting for you. You have the victory.”

All About Love

Waking to a new day

Accepting God’s way

Counting blessings galore

Before God offers more

Holding several hands

Right where God stands

Feeling something pure

Feeling safe and secure

Seeing something in stone

Never feeling alone

Sitting perfectly still

Accepting God’s will

Feeling a touch

That means so much

Ignoring naysayers

As we say our prayers

Looking at heaven above

Is all about love

Living one moment at a time

Remembering our prime

Lifting every voice

As we begin to rejoice

Looking at every soul

Seeing what makes life whole

Knowing what’s real

Knowing what to reveal

Seeing our purpose

Rising to the surface

Learning to let go

Of what we used to know

Walking a road

Where God carries the heavy load

Believing in us

In God we trust

Planting seeds

That lead to good deeds

Feeling God’s power

Hour after hour

Finding a treasure

Beyond all measure

Giving God the glory

Finally telling our story

Knowing every step we take

Is a memory we’ll make

Letting go of fear

Knowing God is near

Looking at heaven above

Is all about love

Day By Day

Day by day

We learn to pray

We accept God’s way

He touches every soul

He makes life whole

Many lessons we learn

Many stripes we earn

We learn who we are

As we reach for a star

We hold each other close

Cause our bond matters most

We rest in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We finally find

Some peace of mind

And we get stronger

As our days get longer

Day by day

We have more to say

We see what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

We share our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

We feel a tender touch

That means so much

We hold hands

Right where love stands

We travel everywhere

With tender loving care

We learn to reveal

What our hearts can’t conceal

We see what’s set in stone

God never leaves us alone

We dry our tears

We remove our fears

We embrace every journey

Meant for us only

We learn to stay true

To what got us through

We go through the fire

To obtain what we desire

We plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

And we see things God’s way

Day by day

Summer Breeze

I feel the summer breeze

It puts me at ease

I think of our love

It feels like heaven above

The breeze is a tender touch

That means so much

It’s your reassuring voice

Making me rejoice

It’s the moments we share

Letting me know you care

It’s the days we get through

And the wonderful things you do

It’s your kind ways

And our lovely days

I feel the summer breeze

It last a long time

As I remember my prime

It makes me think of your smile

And makes me laugh awhile

It’s the God given journey

Meant for us only

It’s the blessings granted

It’s the seeds we’ve planted

It’s us at our core

As God offers us more

It’s us sitting still

As we accept God’s will

It’s us holding hands

Right where love stands

It’s our purpose

Rising to the surface

It’s the power we feel

What’s too difficult to conceal

It’s our undying love

As we look at heaven above

It’s what’s in our hearts

It’s how our love starts

It’s the plan

God reveals when He can

And it puts me at ease

The summer breeze

Family

Family

People in a special place

They help us run our race

They share every dream

Strange though it may seem

They fill us to the core

They offer us more

They guide and protect

They never reject

They offer a sound word

That’s the best we’ve heard

They love unconditionally

They support faithfully

They make us see

What’s truly meant to be

They offer solid ground

As we share what we’ve found

They are the voice

That makes us rejoice

They are the peace

We know we won’t release

They hold us close

Cause we matter most

They remove every fear

They dry every tear

They give us strength

When we talk at length

They set things in stone

They never leave us alone

They teach us lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

They fill every day

In a very loving way

They let us know

How we can grow

Even when we fall

They answer every call

They are the light

We follow day and night

They offer something pure

They make us feel secure

It’s plain to see

These people are family
