Sad Eyes

Sad eyes

I see the tears you cry

And don’t wonder why

You’ve been left behind

While trying find peace of mind

God is with you

You’re sweeter than morning dew

Faith is the way

To get through the day

Just keep God close

Cause He matters most

He is the very reason

For your season

Sad eyes

It should come as no surprise

That God will give you strength

When you talk with Him at length

His tender loving care

Will always be there

Everything’s set in stone

He won’t leave you alone

Continue your journey

It’s meant for you only

You’ll find a place

Filled with God’s grace

Sad eyes

Memories

I have memories

Memories of you and me

Memories of what used to be

Memories of the past

Memories of the love I made last

I have memories of a time

Of us in our prime

I have memories of better days

Of how we changed our ways

I have memories of the voice

That made me rejoice

I have memories of the journey

Meant for us only

I have memories of moments we shared

Of the dreams we dared

I have memories of a touch

That means so much

I have memories of the heart

That gave us a start

I have memories of a place

Filled with God’s grace

I have memories of blessings granted

Of the seeds we planted

Memories

Strength

Strength is talking to God

Then giving a wink and nod

Getting through each day

By accepting God’s way

Embracing every journey

Meant for you only

Facing naysayers

As you say your prayers

Learning how to live

Learning to give

And learning to rejoice

When you hear God’s voice

Strength is learning to care

Learning to share

Letting go of the gloom

Sitting in your room

Going through the fire

To obtain what you desire

Falling and rising again

Learning to win

Learning to see

What’s meant to be

Learning to reveal

What your heart can’t conceal

Talking to God at length

Takes strength

Rise

We travel every day

Trying to find our way

The road is long

But faith keeps us strong

The lessons we learn

Are worth the scars we earn

Although we stumble

Experience keeps us humble

We continue our fight

Morning, noon and night

We pray for strength

As we talk with God at length

So it comes as no surprise

When we rise

Life puts us to the test

We pass them like all the rest

We take one step at a time

While still in our prime

People count us out

But we have no doubt

We know where we stand

As we hold God’s hand

And it comes as no surprise

When we rise

Fading

My fear is fading

My truth I’m not trading

I’ve embarked on a journey

Meant for me only

It’s something to behold

My story will be told

God has filled me to the core

I couldn’t ask for more

I look forward to every day

My mind no one will sway

The joy in my heart

Gave me a new start

And my feet are planted

Where my blessings are granted

My weakness is fading

I gain strength

By talking to God at length

It offers me something pure

It makes me feel secure

He watches over me

He shows me who I can be

He provides a place

Filled with guidance and grace

The light in my eyes

Should come as no surprise

Cause my weakness is fading
