The Dream

The dream looms day and night

It works as a guiding light

It fills every day

It shows us the way

It’s part of a plan

God will reveal when He can

It keeps us up

It fills our cup

It fills every space

With mercy and grace

It’s part of the journey

Meant for us only

It gives us strength

When we talk with God at length

It takes us far

As we reach for a star

It is the purpose

We see lying at the surface

And it fills every soul

With what makes it whole

The dream is real

It’s too difficult to conceal

It plants the seeds

To very good deeds

It makes us look ahead

Without an ounce of dread

It keeps us going

All while knowing

God will stay by our side

Our pride we can’t hide

It helps us see

What’s truly meant to be

It sets things in stone

It reminds us we’re not alone

It’s like a prayer

It shows God is there

It keeps us on the right path

Without suffering God’s wrath

It reveals our name

It removes our shame

As strange as it may seem

We call it the dream

Wisdom

Cherishing every day

Knowing God made a way

Embracing the lessons of life

Seeing that prayer removes strife

Embracing the strength from within

Knowing faith will help us win

Listening to God’s word

Acknowledging what we’ve heard

Removing our fear

When we see God standing near

Taking life one moment at a time

Before we reach our prime

Doing a victory dance

When we get a chance

Holding each other close

Cause bonding matters most

Fulfilling our God given purpose

When it rises to the surface

Resting in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Looking at an ordained journey

Meant for us only

Trusting almighty God

With a wink and nod

Learning to smile

Even laugh a little while

Acknowledging God’s love

From heaven above

Having His protection

Heading in the right direction

Letting our light shine

Knowing everything is fine

Stopping to smell the roses

Before striking a few poses

Changing our point of view

Knowing God brought us through

Removing all doubt

That God will work things out

Finally taking a stand

While holding God’s hand

Counting every blessing

Learning to avoid stressing

Opening our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

Never pretending

Cause our journey is never ending

A Thousand Words

Thinking of words to say

Trying to speak the right way

Checking for a tone

Knowing I’m not alone

Going line by line

Hoping everything is fine

Hoping words will set me free

Longing to just be me

Realizing words have power

Speaking them hour after hour

Every word in its place

Words resting in a safe space

Learning what words mean

Seeing things I’ve never seen

Trying to find words that move

Knowing I have nothing to prove

Using words of reference

Using words of my preference

Trying to find words that uplift

Trying to find my gift

Looking for words that are strong

Words that let me know when I’m wrong

Showing that words aren’t a game

Looking for words that don’t shame

Longing for words that fill the soul

With what makes it whole

Looking for words that encourage

Getting words out of storage

Reaching for words of purpose

Hoping to see them surface

Looking for words that heal

Wanting words that reveal

Checking for words that I can use

Words that show I have nothing to lose

Words that I can give

Words that teach me to live

Without a lot of guessing

Or a lot of stressing

A thousand words

Passion

Embracing a brand new day

Accepting God’s way

Reflecting on the lessons

That are now confessions

Wearing a smile

That last quite a while

Lifting one voice

As we begin to rejoice

Holding each other close

Cause our bond matters most

Sharing our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

Hanging on God’s word

Cause it’s all we’ve heard

Doing a victory dance

Whenever we get a chance

Seeing that every step we take

Is a memory we’ll make

Reaching our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

Resting in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

Feeling a touch

That means so much

Seeing that this journey

Is for us only

Holding our heads high

Without asking why

Heading in the right direction

Having God’s protection

Remembering our name

Feeling no shame

Knowing what we have is real

Much too difficult to conceal

Counting every blessing

Without a lot of stressing

Knowing what we share

Knowing God is always there

Taking time to smell the roses

Before striking a few poses

Passing every test

Just like all the rest

Looking in each other’s eyes

Then finding a wonderful surprise

Never pretending

Cause our love is never ending
