Dad-Face to Face to that Eternal Place
Today is a day that I saw my dad really sick and it made me really scared,
As the time went on and his health never got better, we heard something that we really feared.
This made us feel so upset because there was nothing that we could do.
The sadness starts to hit our family and sets in the tears and especially hard for me too.
It is hard, but there is something that we are going to believe that he can hear us of what is being said.
This is the main reason that we are here next to he never wanting to leave her bed.
My dad raised us up to be strong and never to give up hope,
And no matter what happens, he will always be living in our hearts and helping us learn to cope.
We want to pray and say thank you Lord for guarding him up under your wing,
By providing her life with the shelter to whatever the pain will bring.
Yes, this is saddens us and has caused our hearts to awaken,
But by her believing and trusting in you, we know where se will be taken.
We are here to give our life towards you for knowing that you are taking mom to that Eternal Place.
Missing him here will be sad not being here,
But it makes us happy because he is with you will see him again face to face.

Feeling Abandon and Lost Inside
The first thing that I should do is look in the mirror and say what is my name,
This is one reason why I feel so abandon and lost inside,
There is times that I cannot even remember who's my family or friends,
Yes, if you had this feeling lost inside then you would see what it feels like to be me,
As I think of this tears come rolling down my eyes,
Because I feel like my life is hidden away is a deep dark disguise.
Having these feelings or thoughts give me a roller coaster of emotions,
As it makes feel like a freak or a failure or like a creature feature.
Forgetting the memories of my life is hard, and it hurts,
I hope that if you are someone that reads this that you take in what I am trying to say,
Those memories are the ways in life that we will always remember when it is to laugh, cry or smile.
There probably will be a time in our life when those thoughts will be gone.
So please try to take in any and all the memories of your life,
Because as I said earlier it will hard to remember those precious moments,
It is hard, but for me to remember things I have to write my feelings and memories down into words.
For me to even remember life.
Thank you, Lord for giving me this chance to still live.

To Control and Hold Back the Tears
Not many Americans really know what goes on,
And why when we get home so many of us veterans have in common,
Even though a lot of our memories are not the same,
We still have the same feelings as we lost our buddies and still can remember them name by name.
It all starts as we go out and go on patrol,
We pray to come back in one piece, which is our goal.
And yes, this is something that everyone prays for,
Because we see so much that hurts our hearts more and more.
To see our buddies get thrown and blown around,
Some are hurt and some just wounded, but others are heaven bound.
Coming back home is something that we all have to deal with and it is very hard,
Especially as we see our friends being buried in a National Cemetery grave yard.
To think that we will always remember these things as we get older and go through the years,
It's hard for us not to think about it and hold back the tears.
Some of us come with deep echoes and ringing sounds in our mind,
This causes us to lose control and to keep our way of thinking in a bind.
It is really hard for a lot of people to understand what it feels like to come back,
And to always feel like you are under attack.
Yes, this time of pain and is hard to control.
with help from the Lord and our family, we try to calm our soul.
As the time goes on and more and more of us are coming back and being diagnosed,
It finally helps us come out of our deep and wanting to be alone, and comatose.
Thank you to everyone that wants to try to understand what it feels like for us to go through and see what we see.
Because in our lives, it is finally here to show us that there is someone who cares for them and for me.

Loving Power
Throughout the good times and the bad times that caused smiles or tears.
I need to say thank you because you have helped through
those times a lot over the last few years.
During those times you reminded that I should have hope.
To take those problems and I need to be strong and learn how to cope.
It is hard not to have you here but my memories of happiness
because of everything that it brings.
And I will always have you in my heart and it will remind me of a lot of things.
This is why my thoughts you will never go away no matter what hour
Because of you, I feel your Loving Power.

Thank You God
Thank you God
For everything you do
You give me hope, faith and strength
When I read the Bible, it helps me learn about God more
I got so many opportunities and surprising moment that makes me happy
I am hard worker and something good happen at end
I know that I believe in God, even if I'm not Christian
I know I can count on Him to be there
I'm never alone
When I pray or tell God what is on my mind,
I know God will help me when God hear me
I'm so bless for people I met, family, and everything in my life
Thank you God
I'm giving Him my problems to take care of it
He is going keep it and I won't take it back
I'm not worry because He is handling it
I had first heard God from a friend
I'm happy to hear about Him and what He does
So don't break down, feel stress, and give up so soon
God is here for us and pray
He is father and we are his children
I go to church and it helps me a lot
Every day I'm bless that I'm still here today
Thank you God

In His Hands
I heard some bad news today, something that made me scared,
Today I found out my dad has cancer; it was something I had always feared.
I knew many people that passed away because of this evil cell,
Yet I know of some that beat it, and of course turned out well.
The fact that my dad is sick, just completely blows my mind,
When this poison is inside of him, and the cure they cannot find.
My mom is really upset, and doesn't know what to do,
My sister cries herself to sleep and sometimes I find myself doing it too.
I know I have to be strong, and my prayers are always said,
But the question is: Does anyone really hear me when I'm lying there in bed?
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger, that's why I always have hope,
But with each passing day that it's on my mind, I find it really hard to cope.
I promised myself that no matter what, I would stay strong for my dad,
His feelings he does not show really well, but I know that he is sad.
I know our fate is in your hands God, but please have mercy on his soul,
Hold his hand and watch over him, as his treatment he will soon undergo.
Help him through this struggle, as he is precious to me like a pearl,
God, please listen for our prayer's……….signed….daddy's little girl!

Hearts Never Lie (feat. Chris Farren)
================
<0.19>
Too good together to be so apart these days
and now more than ever
we need to talk face to face
We stopped moving forward
and now we're some place else
but the more we fool each other
the less we fool ourselves
Cause our hearts never lie
they just feel the love
Try so hard to deny
There's no reason to act like we don't care
when the truth is always there
Oh hearts never lie
Why should we
Why should we
This whole thing is crazy (crazy)
Building walls to keep out the pain
And when there's no changing
mistakes are ready made
So let's start all over
one emotion at a time
Beginning with this feeling
that we've never lost inside
Cause our hearts never lie
they just feel the love
Try so hard to deny
There's no reason to act like we don't care
when the truth is always there
Oh hearts never lie
Why should we
Does the word love scare you away
Does forever seem to long to say
Now it's time we end this nowhere charade
and a real good place to start
is to listen to your heart
<3.07>
Cause our hearts never lie
they just feel the love
Try so hard to deny
There's no reason to act like we don't care
when the truth is always there
Oh hearts never lie
Why should we
Oh why should we
Why should we lie
oh why should we lie
Oh hearts never lie
Something is crazy
Oh hearts never lie
<5.00>

Thanks Given
I give thanks and good tidings to you,
And pray your safety, and health, and finance.
I give thanks to you, mother and father,
For your care, and help, and guidance
in how to conduct myself with those around me.
I give thanks to you, my family,
For your support and happy reunions,
and for your help when times were tough.
I give thanks to you, my friends,
For watching my back in my youthfulness
and listening when I was uncomfortable and frustrated.
I give thanks to you, farmers and architects and engineers,
For providing bountiful harvests, strong shelter,
and new technology through much hard labor
showing what will and hard work can do.
I give thanks to you, cooks and artists and service workers and writers,
For being our smiling face and challenging us
through creativity and bold words
and kindness and good hearts.
I give thanks to you, teachers and business people and government men and women,
For pushing us to be better and showing us how to be more organized.
I give thanks to you, ancestors,
For building our foundations that we may expand upon
and fuse cultures and heritages, and have chance to accept each other equally
regardless of the amount of pigment in our skin.
I give thanks to you, dear soldier,
For standing at the front of the line to protect us, our loved ones
and our freedoms from foes that plan our demise,
your sacrifice is worth more than all the wealth in the world in my eye.
I give thanks to you, my pastors,
For showing me where the light comes from,
and love, mercy, forgiveness, and grace.
I give thanks to you, God and Jesus,
For being my breath of life, my light in darkness,
my hope, my rock, my safe place
And for you who reads this, whether mentioned or not,
I thank you, for being like me,
In which I do not feel alone.
Whether you realize it or not,
I Love You, and God Bless You.

And now more than ever
We need to talk face to face
We stopped moving forward
And now were some place else
But the more we fool each other
The less we fool ourselves
Cause our hearts never lie

Try so hard to deny
Theres no reason to act like we dont care
When the truth is always there
Oh hearts never lie

This whole thing is crazy
Building walls to keep out the pain
When theres no changing
Mistakes already made
So lets start all over
One emotion at a time
Beginning with this feeling
That weve never lost inside
Cause our hearts never lie
They just feel the love
Try so hard to deny
Theres no reason to act like we dont care
When the truth is always there
Oh hearts never lie
Why should we
Does the word love scare you away
Does forever seem too long to stay
Now its time we end this nowhere charade
And a real good place to start
Is to listen to your heart
Cause our hearts never lie
They just feel the love
Try so hard to deny
Theres no reason to act like we dont care
When the truth is always there

Perishing But Renewed
Though by illness my life is rent, I am mindful it's only a tent,
I speak of this body of mine, my temporal body for this time,
Though my outward body perish, my life in God I can cherish,
As inward I'm renewed by God, for life above this earthly sod.
My body may fail on the earth, but, my life is in my New Birth,
Now a member of God's Family, I received promises eternally,
Knowing on earth we all may die, real life starts above the sky,
In a place, prepared by Christ, where we begin our Eternal Life.
Our bodies are temporal friend, for this earthly life has its end,
An end indeed we all will see, and then there will be an eternity,
The end won't be the same for all, as we are under Adam's fall,
And some at their last breath, will see not eternal life but death.
However, in Christ I have hope, when in times it's hard to cope,
As this present cancer impedes, my present life with its needs,
My Lord God is always there, helping with each need and care,
Helping me trust in Him not me, as He prepares me for eternity.
For me there's only eternal gain, but my life He too can sustain,
Extending my life, as a mortal man, if that is within God's Plan,
So He would allow my present life, to continue on with my wife,
That we may both depart together, to live with our Lord forever.

As They Lay Me In The Ground
Every day brings me more pain,
I just pray there's no tomorrow,
My life is truly inhumane,
It's filled with grief and sorrow.
I used to be a normal guy,
Quite happy with my lot,
Family, friends no need to lie,
My life just couldn't be bought.
Then I thought, this can't be right,
There's more to life than this,
What I was missing was out of sight,
So I tried some cannabis.
It made me feel relaxed and cool,
Then I mixed it with some drink,
I never knew I could be so cruel,
But I refused to see the link.
I progressed on to stronger drugs,
They made me feel immune,
The warning signs are just for mugs,
I won't stop anytime soon.
I then lost my family and my friends,
How dare they interfere?
As into farce my life descends,
To me it's still unclear.
My legs are full of holes and sore,
I've no veins left to inject,
My body's rotten to the core,
Yet my fix I must collect.
I have no money to buy my kit,
No family from which I can steal,
I'd give my life for another hit,
I need cash for one more deal.
Addiction is an abject curse,
You imagine it gives you joy.
When you think things can't get worse,
Your spirit it will then destroy.
Your mind and body then give in,
You can no longer cope,
You're in a battle you can never win,
It's then you give up hope.
I've caused those close to me untold grief,
A fact I refused to see,
My leaving will bring them scant relief,
But I need to set myself free.
My will to live has disappeared,
At last my peace I've found,
The chaos in my life has cleared,
‘' As They Lay Me In The Ground ‘'
Do Not Care to Understand What We Go Through
I come here to tell about how I got sent over foreign lands to live
And how I had to give up everything I had to give
As you young people have the chance to go out and some have beers
And I am left here with my heart missing my family and filled with tears
It is really dumb
That many of you young people do not care to understand what we do for your freedom
I wish you could take the time to see everything that we go through
And that is the willingness to give up our life for you
Well many of you do not care and will not read this
But there one this thing that I want to wish
And many of you really and surely know
Exactly where that is and where you can go
So many of you would say that is to go to hell
But only God really can tell

No Way Out
I once had a life,
A life full of dreams,
That one tragic day destroy me,
Made the person I am today,
I tried to run,
I tried to hide,
But there is no way out of the mess I have caused,
This pain,
This misery I caused won’t fade away,
I tried to wipe away my tears,
Show my dignity,
Show that there is no reason to be afraid,
Yet I run,
Run to the highest mountain top,
I try so hard not to show my sadness,
This sadness won’t go away,
There is no way, no how, no reason for me to run.

Where Would I Be Without You?
I told you everything,
Only because I felt alone,
Thought nobody would actually care,
I was shocked you did,
Everything i been through,
Have been hard.
I know I put you through alot,
But only because I didn't know where to start,
Losing somebody I loved,
Made everything a bit rough,
Not knowing if my life would be the same,
Made me scared when ever I had to face reality,
Everything I been through,
I've taking the easy way out,
Afraid to face the truth,
Was impossible to face,
But, once I know I have the strengths to make it through,
Makes me wonder where I'll be without you.

Thank you as you let him/her Hold Me Tight
As I lay here and here the rain as it is falling
It makes me feel sad cause I know the Lord hears me calling
And I know that He feels my sad and lonesome pain
Sometimes it causing me to want to doubt Him but it not a gain
Even though I sit lonely at night
I wish there was someone here hold me tight
This why I still take my time and write down my journal posts
Because I know that the Lord love so much more than most
He knows that I keep my heart harden and guarded in so many ways
And I also thankful for Him and my friend for bring someone new in my life in the past few days
That wants to listen about my past and how I went through so much pain and agony
It makes me feel so happy and free
That there is finally someone that wants to see
The guarded love trapped inside of me
I can never stop say thanks to the both of you
Because you both have seen everything I went through
It makes me now feel so happy
That I have blessed with special someone that wants to show me honor and dignity
By there to make me feel strong and wanted as He/She Holds Me Tight
This is one reason that I am so happy that I feel that I have my journal with the Lord every night

Words can't say enough….(Thank you)
Thank you….
I now feel strong because I had someone to pick me up when I was down
Thank you….
For being there when others looked down on me
Thanks you….
Because you never gave up on me
Thank you....
For showing that there is a difference between right and wrong
Thank you….
For helping me, put my shattered heart back to together
Thank you….
For giving me a second chance in life
Thank you….
For showing that things happen for a reason
Thank you….
For helping me fix a broken life
Thank you….
I can see now these things called happiness and love
Thank you
Words can't say enough of how I feel about you

The Critic
So what if what I say
so what if what I do
isn't what you wanted too
that doesn't justify you
tearing me down
with all that you say
it seems you only live
to doubt my every move
pretending like you always knew
but I don't care if you don't
like what you see
cause I'll do as I please
So leave me alone
I'm sick of your games
when will you learn
we're not the same
leave me alone
get out of my face
when will you learn
we're not the same
No matter where I am
no matter where I go
you never can leave me alone
you might as well just tell me
you're wasting your time
cause you're going to fail
and now I finally know
and now I finally see
the reason why you couldn't be
the person that you dreamed of
you gave it all up
well I won't do the same
So leave me alone
I'm sick of your games
when will you learn
we're not the same
leave me alone
get out of my face
when will you learn
we're not the same
we're not the same, no
Leave me alone
I need more than room to grow
cause we're not the same
you treat my life like it's a game
So leave me alone
I'm sick of your games
when will you learn
we're not the same
leave me alone
get out of my face
when will you learn
we're not the same
we're not the same
we're not the same

Miracle
I wake up,
and start my everyday routine
of working hard at feeling sorry for myself.
and after lunch i close my eyes,
and wish to god that i could change
but when i wake up im still very much myself
and im a long way from believing
that im gonna be ok
such a long way from believing
that ill escape
this feeling that i hate
and its miracle that we are here today
with all the pain we put ourselves through over nothing
cuz if you think hard
youll know soon it will be ok
and youll be holding on to someone
holding on to someone
i wake up
and start my everyday routine
of wondering what in the world im gonna do
cuz things are falling into place
but i can't appreciate them
'cuz if last time fell apart then this might too
and im a long way from believing
that im gonna be ok
such a long way from believing
that ill escape
this feeling that i hate
and its miracle that we are here today
with all the pain we put ourselves through over nothing
cuz if you think hard
youll know soon it will be ok
and youll be holding on to someone
holding on to someone
Dimly lit my porch lights
I can see your eyes
and they are staring into my face
staring into my face
i should trust what i see in them
and know the time is right
but still ill take the easy road and wait
ive got to stop being scared
and using time that isn't there
'cause i could die tomorrow or today
control is resting on my side
but knowing just would not be right
and thats not how i wanna live my life
and its miracle that we are here today
with all the pain we put ourselves through over nothing
cuz if you think hard
youll know soon it will be ok
and youll be holding on to someone
holding on to someone
and its miracle that we are here today
with all the pain we put ourselves through over nothing
cuz if you think hard
youll know soon it will be ok
and youll be holding on to someone
holding on

My gift of wedding anniversary..........
Since we married, our journey of life was
pleasant and sailed without any trouble
We know the day when we started our life
We were close to each other's hearts as a good life partners
But there were days we had gone through pain in our life
because no child had born to us for a long time.
You were very upset about me and tried to keep me away
You thought that I am incapable to give you a child
You treated me with unpleasant words and miserable life
Those roads were very hard for me to travel but I did it
Because my faith and love made me to over come all those obstacles
And today we are blessed with a baby boy and he is a God's child
When I see my child’s face then I forget all those mistakes
and pains that's you have given to me.
And still I treat you as my wonderful and loving husband
Since, eighteen years have been passed and our wedding
anniversary is due to fall shortly and let us pray God to give us long life
And let us forget all our past life of bitterness and look for a life
that will take us a joinery of LOVE with our ever loving baby.

All You Need
oh lord it's another day; nothing seemed to go my way
and i know that i can't complain
cause you've been so good to me
but here i am burdened again,
and i can't seem to find my friend
whose name is hope and i can't pretend that i'm not weary so
(why does it always seem that i) keep losin,
no matter what i'm doin
(all i want to do is live this life)
so i'm prayin then i hear you sayin
don't look no further cause i'm all you need
no matter the problem the answer's in me
i'll give you courage and i'll give you peace
when you get tired you can lean on me
oh it's hard to understand, that there is a master plan
that he's got our life in his hands and there is reason
and a time and season, to everything that comes along
though it seems all faith is gone, just keep on believing
and you'll hear him say to you
don't look no further cause i'm all you need
no matter the problem the answer's in me
i'll give you courage and i'll give you peace
when you get tired you can lean on me
while you're hesitating, know that the lord is waiting
instead of all this worrying and wondering
here's what you should do
know he'll see you through,
he cares for you and you should know
he'll never let you go
don't look no further cause i'm all you need
no matter the problem the answer's in me
i'll give you courage and i'll give you peace
when you get tired you can lean on me
don't look no further cause i'm all you need
no matter the problem the answer's in me
i'll give you courage and i'll give you peace
when you get tired you can lean on me
