So often I've wondered and often wonder still If there is a dream this heart, within, can follow Without leaving my spirit empty and hollow And a dream, that I really can, indeed, fulfill
So often I ponder where life is leading me Yet, more often than not, I feel my wheels spinning And in life's great race, everyone else is winning While I'm just waiting for someone to set me free
So often I see glimmering glory ahead Spark'ling on the horizon like the morning sun Praying that I reach it before my day is done Hoping I find purpose before they find me dead
Father, guide me to the dreams You would have for me And, please, loving Father, come set this captive free

| by: Danny Speicher November 13th, 2009 Pain pulsing from every inch within me Eyelids closed to shield my eyes from the sun Each strand of my body coming undone Wishing, from agony, to be set free Depression flows in like the rolling sea My emotions rise and fall like the tide Happiness and sadness, closely reside Within the shadows of this soul called "me" Lord, can't you hear me crying for relief? Can you not see me striving to be strong? Yearning to hear a harmonious song I sit, patiently, in silence and grief Oh, Lord, break these chains and set this man free Oh, Lord, won't You, please, have mercy on me? Unseen daggers rip my innards apart An endless resounding gong fills my ears No one can dam the flow of my eyes' tears Too often my days end before they start My dreams are left in the darkness of night Unfulfilled, hopeless and so far away I wish just one could see the light of day But, when morning breaks, they're nowhere in sight Father, I know You draw nigh when I cry Father, I know You have a master plan Holy Ghost, gently guide me by the hand Assure me His will is best, by and by Oh, Lord, I pray, let me abide in Thee Oh, Lord, won't You, please, have mercy on me? | | |

Dreaming a dream as a child would dream Out upon the ocean, out past the stream I, wishing for nothing more than I had I, wondering when tomorrow might come I, pondering just where this dream came from Of me, on the ocean, just a small lad
Alone with the waves I rocked back and forth Somehow questioning my heart's true self-worth An odd question for a child so young An odd feeling of doubt stirring within An odd, oppressive, fear came forth therein A sinister lack of hope filled my lungs
"Alas, it's a dream," I heard myself say Tomorrow will bring a new, brighter day Even still I remained frightened and numb Even still I doubted what I had said Even still I questioned within my head Oh God, what if tomorrow never comes?
What if the fear inside of me remains? What if ghosts of past echo their refrain? Will I descend into madness alone? Will I die a man forgotten by time? Will I lose every friend gained in my prime? How can one conquer fear of the unknown?
Oh, Lord, save me from the fears of my past Lord, comfort me, for memories come fast Raise me from this mistrust within my heart Raise me from the lack of hope I have felt Raise me from the depression I've been dealt Lord, for your purpose, please set me apart

| by: Danny Speicher October 11th, 2009 At times, pain can overcome joy There's really nothing to be done Except to sit through the darkness And to wait for the rising sun Although it may very well seem The horizon might ne'er embrace The bright rays of a brand new day And although hope seems out of place Remember the dawn is coming Remember that glorious sight Look to the stars in the darkness And just picture the morning light As it rises from east to west Illuminating each valley Don't lose hope within the shadows For joy, will soon, again, rally Yes, as it brightens every valley Remember, joy will soon, again, rally | | |
| by: Danny Speicher October 4th, 2009 Somewhere far away from the city streets A meadow of green cotton candy blades Rolls upon a mound of chocolatey dirt And the warm cinnamon winds gently flirt While geysers of cocoa playfully spurt In a place kids all know, simply, as Gumdrop Glades Ask Lil' Lew Lemondrop who knows the way Where the candy's free for the bill's been paid And the children can eat the sweets all day Without their teeth ever showing decay And there are no adults to scowl and say "Don't spoil your appetite down in Gumdrop Glades" Someday you should go adventure to see What lies just past the tall forest blockades Where the brook that babbles past forest trees In the glade, turns into sweetest sweet tea And candy cane bluffs... Quite a sight to see That rise up high on three sides down in Gumdrop Glades I hear when we see it we'll lose control And drink the waterfall of lemonade While small gumdrops drop from trees as they sway We'll wish there would be no end to that day As we play playfully as children play When our hopeful eyes finally spy Gumdrop Glades We'll wish there would be no end to that day As we play playfully as children play And we'll hope that we can, forever, stay Within a gingerbread house, down in Gumdrop Glades | | |
