Silent Prayer

I look at the sky

As I wonder why

I sit all alone

In a thought zone

I reflect on day and night

While watching a shining light

I continue a journey

Meant for me only

I learn as I go

I share what I know

I feel unsure

I feel insecure

I wonder what to do

How I’ll make it through

Then I see God standing there

As I say a silent prayer

I confront naysayers galore

They fill me to the core

I look for a safe space

In a very special place

My journey takes me far

As I reach for a star

My soul feels fear

Before I see God standing near

I see the seeds

That lead to good deeds

I search for solid ground

As I turn my life around

I search for a treasure

To carry beyond all measure

I look for a word

That’s the best I’ve heard

I wonder what I’ll gain

Through the heartache and pain

I try to smile

Even laugh a little while

I eventually see

What’s meant to be

And I see God standing there

As I say a silent prayer

Brown Eyes

Brown eyes

Simply looking ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Seeing what’s true

Developing your own view

Looking into your heart

Where your vision should start

Looking at heaven above

While embracing God’s love

Seeing your God given purpose

As it rises to the surface

Seeing what’s in stone

Knowing you’re never alone

Watching the silent prayer

Show God is always there

Seeing solid ground

Sharing the joy you found

Brown eyes

Looking at what you’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Watching God work miracles

While you stand on principles

Seeing all the dreams

That make you burst at the seams

Looking at the day

In your own special way

Seeing a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Watching trouble come and go

As you share what you know

Seeing all the seeds

That lead to good deeds

Reading a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

Looking over the journey

Meant for you only

Taking a glance at the power

You feel hour after hour

Looking at the key

To what’s meant to be

And seeing a surprise

Brown eyes

Happy

Wearing a smile

That last quite awhile

Having a talk with God

Giving Him a wink and nod

Finding a safe space

To run your race

Seeing your purpose

Lying at the surface

Cherishing every day

In your own special way

Taking one step at a time

While still in your prime

Starting a new chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

Rising and falling again

Knowing you will win

Having a hand to hold

As your story is told

Learning from the past

Making every moment last

Faith carrying you through

No matter what you do

Learning to rejoice

Whenever you hear God’s voice

Learning to stand

As God holds your hand

Sharing your dreams

Until you burst at the seams

Hearing a word

That’s the best you’ve heard

Standing on solid ground

As you turn your life around

Learning as you go

Sharing what you know

Seeing what’s real

Knowing what to reveal

Seeing what you’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Feeling tender loving care

Knowing God is there

Learning how to live

Learning how to give

Learning how to love

Just like heaven above

Leads to happy

The Journey

Taking one step at a time

While still in our prime

Learning as we go

Sharing what we know

Embracing who we are

As we reach for a star

Finding a way

To live every day

Getting filled to the core

Before God offers us more

Finding a place

Filled with nothing but grace

Embracing the purpose

We see lying at the surface

Striking a few poses

As we smell the roses

Letting go of fear

Knowing almighty God is near

Getting a second chance

To do a victory dance

Seeing what’s in stone

Feeling we aren’t alone

Giving as good as we get

With very little regret

Standing on principles

As God performs miracles

Feeling love in the air

Thanking God for being there

Seeing that faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

Looking at the heart

To see where to start

Finding solid ground

Sharing the joy you found

Finding something pure

Feeling safe and secure

Hearing a voice

That makes you rejoice

Feeling God’s affection

As well as protection

Him seeing you through

No matter what you do

Is all for you only

It’s called the journey

Perfect Peace

We face every day

We try to find a way

We face our naysayers

As we say our prayers

We stumble here and there

As we look for someone to care

We look for peace of mind

Which is hard to find

We wonder what’s real

What our hearts will reveal

We long to start a chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

We look for solid ground

As we turn our lives around

Before we see a light

That shines day and night

Joy we begin to release

After God gives us perfect peace

We search for a place

To run our race

We look for affection

As well as protection

We travel far

In search of a star

We feel confused

We feel used

We shed a few tears

As we look at our fears

We try to stay strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

We wonder what’s meant for us

And who we can trust

We search for something better

As we live life to the letter

We wonder about purpose

As it rises to the surface

We search the mind

Wondering what we’ll find

Then joy we release

As God gives us perfect peace

One Day

One day we’ll learn to pray

We’ll see a new day

We’ll learn lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

We’ll find a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We’ll gain strength

As we talk with God at length

We’ll see our purpose

Lying at the surface

We’ll learn to let go

Of things we used to know

We’ll learn to see

What’s meant to be

We’ll plant seeds

That lead to good deeds

One day we’ll get stronger

As our days get longer

We’ll strike a few poses

As we stop and smell the roses

We’ll find solid ground

Faith will turn our lives around

We’ll see what’s in stone

God won’t leave us alone

We’ll hold hands

Right where God stands

God’s plan will be clear

As we hold each other near

We’ll take time

To remember our prime

We’ll get a chance

To do a victory dance

One voice we’ll raise

In a song of praise

We’ll feel God’s affection

As well as His protection

We’ll find something pure

We’ll feel safe and secure

We’ll share our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

We’ll follow our guide

Our gratitude we won’t hide

And we’ll find our way

One day
