So Close

So close we are

As we reach for a star

We share all our dreams

As strange as it seems

We share every day

We accept God’s way

We see what’s real

And too difficult to conceal

We know faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

We let go of fear

Cause God almighty is near

We see what’s in stone

God never leaves us alone

We know what fills the soul

What makes life whole

So close we are

Like a rainbow after a storm

We defy every norm

We see what’s pure

We feel safe and secure

We give as good as we get

With very little regret

We lift one voice

As we begin to rejoice

We know where we stand

As we hold God’s hand

We are filled to the core

With love and more

We strike a few poses

As we smell the roses

We rest on solid ground

We share the joy we found

We feel God’s affection

As well as protection

It keeps us strong

We know where we belong

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

Bonding matters most

And we’re so close

Imagine

Imagine feeling a love

Sent from heaven above

Imagine being free

Seeing what’s meant to be

Imagine learning to live

Learning to give

Learning from the past

Making every moment last

Imagine a smile

That last quite awhile

Imagine planting seeds

That lead to good deeds

Imagine sharing dreams

Until you burst at the seams

Imagine traveling far

As you reach for a star

Imagine where you stand

As God holds your hand

Imagine a word

That’s the best you’ve heard

Imagine seeing what you’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

Imagine sitting still

As you accept God’s will

Imagine taking the time

To remember your prime

Imagine finding a treasure

Beyond all measure

Imagine what you can learn

The stripes you can earn

Imagine finding peace

Your heart can’t release

Imagine embracing a journey

Meant for you only

Imagine letting go of fear

Seeing God standing near

Imagine lifting your voice

As you begin to rejoice

Imagine a tender touch

That means so much

Imagine something new

God carrying your through

Imagine getting stronger

As the days get longer

Imagine letting go

Of what you used to know

And following a guide

Who’s always by your side

Imagine

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
