Roses

We stop to smell the roses

Then strike a few poses

We reflect on every day

How God made a way

We reflect on the journey

Meant just for us only

We build new dreams

Until we burst at the seams

We gain strength

As we talk at length

Faith fills every soul

It makes life whole

We see what’s by design

Why everything will be fine

We stand face to face

While running our race

Knowing God set our path

Without unleashing His wrath

We learn as we go

We share what we know

We cherish what we hold

As our story is told

And life gets better

As we embrace it to the letter

We stop to smell the roses

Then strike a few poses

An answered prayer

Shows God is there

We fall then rise again

Cause faith helps us win

We right another chapter

Filled with joy and laughter

We hold each other close

Cause bonding matters most

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

We share a smile

That travels about a mile

We build out of pleasure

Beyond all measure

We stay close to God

With a wink and nod

God gives us more

Than we could ask for

When we stop to smell the roses

The Race

We get through every day

As God leads the way

We fall then rise again

Knowing with faith we’ll win

We gain strength

As we talk with God at length

We see what’s in stone

Why God won’t leave us alone

God fights every enemy

As He reveals what’s meant to be

God builds us up

He fills every cup

We build our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

We enjoy moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

We hold our faith close

Cause faith matters most

We rest at home

Where our souls can roam

We learn to let go

Of what we used to know

Cause every single chapter

Is filled with joy and laughter

We remember who we are

As we reach for a star

We see the lessons learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

We feel brand new

Cause we know what God can do

His word is in us

In Him we trust

We move without fear

Cause God almighty is near

We learn to stand

As we take God’s hand

We reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

We have much more

Than we could ask for

God shares every journey

Meant for us only

We look at each other and smile

We laugh a little while

As we continue to grow

More than anyone would know

Two Beating Hearts

Two beating hearts

Show where love starts

They share every day

While accepting God’s way

They hold each other close

Cause their bond matters most

They build their dreams

Until they burst at the seams

They get filled to the core

As God offers them more

They enjoy moments of pleasure

Beyond all measure

They fill every chapter

With joy and laughter

They see what’s in stone

God never leaves them alone

They treasure what they hold

As their story is told

They plant the seeds

That lead to good deeds

They gain strength

By talking with God at length

They clearly see

To what’s meant to be

Two beating hearts

Acknowledge God

With a wink and nod

They see what He’s done

As they move as one

They rest at home

Where their souls can roam

They learn to stand

As they hold God’s hand

They share a smile

That travels about a mile

They remember who they are

As they reach for a star

They hang on God’s word

Cause that’s all they’ve heard

They share something real

Too difficult to conceal

They face their naysayers

As they say their prayers

Cause God set their path

Without unleashing His wrath

They see where love starts

Two beating hearts
