Painted Picture

As I look at the painted picture

I think of a new venture

I saw your face

In the perfect place

And I knew then

That we’d find a way to win

The vision of our love

Appeared like heaven above

We created a bond

Of which we’re very fond

And life offered a surprise

When I opened my eyes

I saw the journey

Meant for us only

It didn’t take long

To see where we belong

Our love grew

Above what we knew

I saw the past

And tender moments that last

I could clearly see

What’s meant to be

Life gave us more

We counted blessings galore

And we continued our venture

As I looked at the painted picture

Lines On My Face

Look at the lines on my face

They follow me from place to place

They show what I hold dear

Almighty God standing near

The dreams I hold close

What I love the most

The journey I see in my eyes

What may come as a surprise

All the love I feel

What my heart can’t conceal

What I know for sure

What makes me feel secure

What fills me to the core

How God gives me more

The pleasure of every day

How God leads the way

The very special place

Filled with God’s grace

My incredible story

Basking in God’s glory

How I reached for a star

How God healed every scar

The ground beneath my feet

Where God and I meet

And how I travel from place to place

With lines on my face

Motivation

Saying a silent prayer

Knowing God is there

Cherishing every day

Accepting God’s way

Seeing what’s true

Seeing what God brought you through

Embarking on a journey

Meant for you only

Letting go of fear

Holding God near

Finding a place

Filled with God’s grace

Fulfilling the purpose

You see at the surface

Continuing to grow

As you share what you know

Following your heart

From the very start

Chasing your dreams

Until you burst at the seams

Keeping your faith alive

Learning how to thrive

Counting every blessing

Without a lot stressing

Finding solid ground

Sharing the joy you found

Provides gradification

And plenty of motivation

Loving Arms

I’m comforted day after day

As true love comes my way

The feeling soothes my soul

As it makes me whole

I strike a few poses

As I stop to smell the roses

There’s nothing to fear

Cause God’s always near

I feel a loving touch

That means so much

It causes me to smile

Which last awhile

When I feel weak

I listen to God speak

He lifts me up

He fills my cup

I can think of nothing better

As I embrace life to the letter

I bask in God’s grace

While moving from place to place

It’s plain to see

He brings out the best in me

He’s all I know

He helps me grow

As I rest in His loving arms

Set In Stone

We’ve traveled far

To reach for a star

We knew what to do

The journey was like morning dew

God paved the way

To a brighter day

The feeling is real

Something we can’t conceal

We knew we’d last

Despite a difficult past

We’re not alone

Our love’s set in stone

We held hands

Right where God stands

We’re finally free

To be who we’re meant to be

We’ve found a place

Filled with God’s grace

Our God given journey

Was meant for us only

Our guiding light

Appears day and night

We continue to grow

As we share what we know

We’ve gotten stronger

As our days have gotten longer

We’re not alone

Our love’s set in stone
