Close To You

I think of you every day

Cause I see no other way

You fill my dreams

Strange as it seems

Every moment fills me to the core

They leave me begging for more

I long to hold you close

Cause you matter most

What I feel is real

Too difficult to conceal

God planted the seed

To a blessing indeed

I long to feel your heartbeat

Where my faith and God meet

My thoughts are pure

They make me feel secure

Thoughts of you make me smile

Even laugh a little while

I feel your power

Hour after hour

You are everything

I love the joy you bring

I feel like morning dew

I long to be close to you

I long to hear your voice

Cause it makes me rejoice

I see our purpose

Lying at the surface

I know your name

I feel no shame

I long to feel your kiss

One I can’t resist

I long to feel your touch

Cause it means so much

My thoughts appear morning, noon and night

They are my guiding light

I long to hold your hand

Right where you stand

Cause God made clear

There’s nothing to fear

I feel like morning dew

I long to be close to you

Silence

Sitting perfectly still

As I accept God’s will

Hearing nothing but the word

That deserves to be heard

Reflecting on the journey

Meant just for me only

Thinking of blessings granted

And all the seeds I planted

Hearing no sound

Relishing the joy I found

No words to say

Knowing God made a way

Looking around the room

Knowing I’m in full bloom

Breaking into a smile

Praying a little while

Seeing what’s in stone

Relishing a moment alone

Thinking about the past

Making the moment last

Still not speaking

While my heart is peaking

Gathering thoughts galore

As God fills me to the core

Relishing perfect peace

My heart will never release

Resting in a quiet place

Filled with mercy and grace

Hearing only the voice of God

Then offering a wink and nod

Complete solitude for sure

I feel safe and secure

Perspective I gain

Through heartache and pain

Staying quiet just for reality

The moment is meant to be

Thinking of God’s power

Hour after hour

Learning how to live

Learning how to give

Learning how to love

Just like heaven above

Finally finding my voice

As I rejoice

Starting all over again

Knowing with faith I’ll win

As I sit in silence

Lovely Day

I rise with the sun on my face

I smile cause I’m in a good place

I say a silent prayer

Thanking God for being there

I prepare for the journey

Meant for me only

I build new dreams

Until I burst at the seams

God gives me strength

As we talk at length

I learn what to ignore

As God fills me to the core

The moment is pure

It makes me feel secure

I stand on solid ground

I share the joy I found

I hang on God’s word

Cause it’s all I’ve heard

My soul runs free

I see what’s meant to be

I start my mission

With crystal clear vision

I look straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread

I accept God’s way

Cause it’s a lovely day

I look at what I find

As I relish peace of mind

I see new life lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

I continue to grow

More than anyone would know

I strike a few poses

As I stop to smell the roses

I plant the seeds

That lead to good deeds

I continue life anew

I see what God can do

I fulfill the purpose

Lying at the surface

I reach my peak

As I listen to God speak

I accept God’s way

Cause it’s a lovely day
