I do not wonder why our paths have crossed.

"The Gift You've Given Me"


Thank you for reminding me that love exists out there.
Thank you for showing me how very much you care.
Thank you for your friendship, when I felt quite alone.
Thanks for the softness that oozes from your soul.
Just when I felt so beat up for everything I’ve done,
You came along and showed me there’s nothing not to love,
And all my past mistakes and flaws you saw as beautiful.
You reminded me I’m lovable. You see how much I’ve grown.
Your friendship means the whole wide world to me, my ray of light.
You’ve given me the will to believe true love’s worth the fight.
I won’t give in to numbness, nor be a jaded girl.
For there is someone special out there in this lonely world,
Who deserves all my passion. I’m saving it for him.
For now I will keep growing and smiling until then.
It’s all because of you that I see the road ahead.
The haze has been removed. That old girl is now dead.
No need to drown my sorrows. No need to put up walls.
All I need is Jesus. I’ve faith one day I’ll fall
Into the arms of true love, and it will all make sense.
I’m hopeful and determined, because of you, my friend.

"Peace"

04/25/2009


The dark, the stars
This night…
Peace.

My kids, my work
My life…
Peace.

The past, the scars
My plight…
Peace.

And letting go
It holds
Peace!


Sweet is the peace that comes
In knowing I can’t overcome
Without falling into You
You are the only One,
Sweet Peace.


The times I’ve tried
To find
Peace,

I’ve lived, then died
Deprived.
Peace.

It’s time I tried
Not trying.
Peace.

My soul it knows.
It owns
Peace.


Sweet is the peace that comes
In knowing I can’t overcome
Without falling into You
You are the only One,
Sweet Peace.
