I Remember

I remember the day

Love came my way

I remember every touch

That meant so much

I remember the place

Where I ran my race

I remember planting seeds

That lead to good deeds

I remember the purpose

I saw lying at the surface

I remember every encouraging word

My eager ears heard

I remember filling my soul

With what makes it whole

I remember letting go of dread

While looking straight ahead

I remember God lifting me up

Then filling my cup

I remember what became clear

What I held dear

I remember learning to stand

While holding God’s hand

I remember feeling something real

Too difficult to conceal

I remember being filled to the core

Before God gave me more

I remember having something to hold

My story being told

I remember feeling God’s affection

As well as protection

I remember gaining strength

While talking to God as length

I remember letting go of doubt

As God worked things out

I remember lifting my voice

Then beginning to rejoice

I remember embracing a journey

Meant for me only

I remember learning from the past

While making every moment last

I remember

Rebirth

Changing every day

Trying to find a way

Planting the seeds

That lead to good deeds

Starting a new journey

Meant for the soul only

Wondering what we’ll find

Longing for peace of mind

Knowing God is there

With tender loving care

Learning while on the go

Sharing what we know

Finding a thing called purpose

Lying at the surface

Forging ahead

Without an ounce of dread

Ignoring naysayers

As we say our prayers

Building all our dreams

Until we burst at the seams

Listening to an encouraging word

That’s the best we’ve heard

Feeling a smile on the face

Knowing we’re in a safe place

Our will getting stronger

As our days get longer

Falling and rising again

Knowing we will eventually win

Realizing what we treasure

Beyond all measure

Learning to stand

As we hold God’s hand

Following our guide

Feeling something we can’t hide

Knowing what we can take

Seeing the memories we can make

Feeling a touch

That means so much

Giving as good as we get

With very little regret

Learning new lessons

That become confessions

Knowing what we’re worth

Signals a rebirth

Reflections

Awakening every day

Accepting God’s way

Looking in the mirror

Seeing what God made clearer

Facing every journey

Meant for us only

Learning as we go

Sharing what we know

Finally getting stronger

As our days get longer

Knowing faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

We continue our prayers

As we face our naysayers

We learned from the past

We’ve made every moment last

We’ve finally found a place

To run our race

We’ve found our purpose

Rising to the surface

We feel God’s affection

As well as protection

He fills the soul

With what makes it whole

Sometimes we fall

But God answers every call

We relish our peace of mind

Which is hard to find

We rest on solid ground

We share the joy we found

We reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

We know what we share

It’s called tender loving care

It’s part of a plan

God reveals when He can

Love sets our souls on fire

Fills us with desire

Many lessons we’ve learned

Several stripes we’ve earned

Time makes clear

Almighty God is near

And as we travel

Our hearts won’t unravel

Ode To Love

Looking longingly in the eyes

Finding a wonderful surprise

Holding hands

Right where we stand

Sharing every dream

Strange though it may seem

Holding each other close

Cause bonding matters most

Seeing what we have is real

Too difficult to conceal

Learning from the past

Making every moment last

Knowing every touch

Means so much

Knowing faith is the key

To what’s meant to be

Preserving what we crave

All the things God gave

Following the word

That’s the best we’ve heard

Enjoying special things

All the joy life brings

Feeling something pure

Feeling safe and secure

Our bond rests in a place

Filled with mercy and grace

We fill each other to the core

Before God offers us more

Faith keeps us strong

All day long

We make clear

What we hold dear

We see what’s in stone

God never leaves us alone

We stand tall and proud

We don’t have to talk loud

We reach our peak

Whenever we hear God speak

We’ve found a treasure

Beyond all measure

And we look at heaven above

Then feel nothing but love

Desire

I feel your heartbeat

Whenever we meet

I long to hold you close

Cause you matter most

I long to kiss your lips

Touch your fingertips

The thought of you

Thrills me through and through

What I feel is real

Too hard to conceal

It follows me everywhere

I know you’re always there

The feeling fills every day

In a very special way

It plants seeds

That lead to good deeds

It sets my soul on fire

My desire

I see you and I smile

Even laugh a little while

You fill my soul

You make me whole

You offer something pure

You make me feel secure

You lift me up

You fill my cup

You help me stand

As I hold God’s hand

You show me the way

To live every day

You’ve turned me around

Put me on solid ground

You give me peace

My heart can’t release

You make me proud

Sing out loud

As we share a journey

Meant for us only

It fills my heart

Where everything should start

It sets my soul on fire

My desire
