November 22nd, 2009
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

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

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 | | |

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 | | |
