Invictus in memory of William Ernest Henley

pain is so that you remember
every second of your strife
victory is so that you crown
every pain of your strife with
a triumphant smile as you say
witholding tears 'I did it. I did it'.

Early Summer

The year is full of the hot blue sky,
every spring flower has become fruit,
when the maturity of the summer appears
and gone is all the strife and pain.

There are joyful birds wherever I go,
giant oaks are decked in leaves in the lane
while the sun shines bright until the late afternoon
and gone is all the strife and pain.

When summer rain comes down fruitful,
days become illustrious,
while love shines on your face
and gone is all the strife and pain;

when God keeps my country in his palm,
when a time of neighbourly love unfolds,
when every thing that brings discord slowly disappears
and gone is all the strife and pain.

Things To Be Remembered

Remember your hope not your blue
Remember your share not your dues
Remember your laugh not your tears
Remember your courage not your fear

Remember your gain not your vain
Remember your joys not your pain
Remember your smile not your cross
Remember your victory not your loss

And when you'll lerarn to remember all this
Then God's huge bucket of his bliss
Will fall upon you and your fate
To tell how much God is great

And always remember this little thing
That God's gift keeps on moving in a ring
So keep on counting my dear friend
For blessings of God has no bound nor ends.

Eternal Crowns

Christ, King of Kings was born a babe to grow and die in our stead,
He was honored with a scarlet robe a crown of thorns upon his head.

Although Christ was mocked and forced to wear an ugly crown of pain,
The faithful who should have died, they're promised a crown of gain.

Paul says that runners in a race receive a crown that will not last,
But we will receive Eternal Crowns that at Jesus' feet will be cast.

Paul even refers to those he led to Christ as his joy and his crown,
And these are people just like you and me from any city or any town.

But one won't receive a victor's crown unless he obeys all the rules,
This makes some adjust their pace to win, but not the simple fools.

But the man who perseveres under trials by fools who create strife,
And to those who love Him, God above has promised the Crown of life.

Many like Paul, on that day shall receive a Crown of righteousness,
This to all who longed for Jesus' return with a special Seriousness.

And for all the pastors who faithfully pointed all to the coming day,
Friend, they will receive a crown of glory that will never fade away.

And the Tribulation Saints tested with unheard of hate and strife,
Being faithful to the point of death, will receive the crown of life.

Then all will see The Son of Man with a crown of gold upon his head,
With a sickle harvesting souls, leaving behind the spiritually dead.

Take it easy

Sometimes it’s hard to find a simple place of mind
Try and try as hard as you can
You have wonder across this great big land
Still you can’t find so you got to

Take it easy
Don’t bother with the pain and strife
For it will make you lose your life
So don’t bother to get uptight
Take it easy
Remember to take it slow
Plant good seeds and they’ll grow
You’ll be happy before you know

It doesn’t matter who you are
Not everyone can be a star
So be satisfied keep your eyes open wide
Take pride in the things you do
And happiness will find you

Take it easy
Don’t bother with the pain and strife
For it will make you lose your life
So don’t bother to get uptight
Take it easy
Remember to take it slow
Plant good seeds and they’ll grow
You’ll be happy before you know

Sit back my friend and watch worlds collide
Life is a journey so try and enjoy the ride
You are truly blessed so fill your heart with pride
Come what may it’s your choice you decide

Sometimes the road will narrow
Still keep your eyes on the sparrow
Trod lightly in the dark
For every flame starts with a spark

Take it easy
Don’t bother with the pain and strife
For it will make you lose your life
So don’t bother to get uptight
Take it easy
Remember to take it slow
Plant good seeds and they’ll grow
You’ll be happy before you know

Please dont be sad

Please dont be sad.
Yes I took my own life.
Becuase it was to much strife.
My pain I couldnt bare.
At least now you dont have to watch me killing myself.
It's all done and over.
I'm sorry really I am.
But please just remember this.

Please dont cry for me mummy.
I am right here.
Although you cant see me.
I see your tears.
I visit often.

And when its time to close your eyes.
On your pillow is where I lay.
I hold your hand and stroke your hair.
And whisper in your ear.
If you sad today mummy.
Remember I am here.

The Pain I Can Control

The pain I can control
The pain that makes me whole
The pain that stops and brings some tears
The pain that erases all my fears
The pain that I inflict with this knife
The pain that might be last in my life
The pain that brought me to my knees
The pain that woahed me full of pleas
The pain that made me see the light
The pain that is bringing me home tonight
The pain that is wrong and bitter
The pain that makes me feel fitter
The pain that my friends say is wrong
The pain that makes me feel so strong
The pain that makes my friend sad, and cry
The pain that makes her want to die
The pain thats not just pain to me
The pain that makes everyone see
The pain that thats tearing me apart
The pain thats ripping apart my heart
The pain that I'm addicted to
The pain I can't give up. Not even for you..

A Sweet Song Of Love

Listen to this sweet song of love,
a different love song of our strife.
The victory of truth in life,
listen to this sweet song of love....

Walking together in our dreams where have we reached,
just look how blue is the sky here.
Our song is even sung by the birds here,
where ever our eyes can see is pure light spread.

Listen to this sweet song of love,
a different love song of our strife.
The victory of truth in life,
listen to this sweet song of love....

Cool cool breezes blow here always,
beyond the stars is our little cottage.
The rainbow colours are here to manage,
they where they commence their journeyof joys.

Listen to this sweet song of love,
a different love song of our strife.
The victory of truth in life,
listen to this sweet song of love....

Forbidden to meet each other in this world,
encircled within our customs were we both.
imprisoned and guarded were we both,
we died in breaking away from the customs of this world.

Listen to this sweet song of love,
a different love song of our strife.
The victory of truth in life,
listen to this sweet song of love....

Words Of Tears..: '(

tears speak
what words can't speak
tears tell
what words can't tell
tears express
what words can't express
tears create the magic
what words can't create
pain tears heart
pain tears the life
pain has teared my heart
pain has teared my life
the pain he gave me
i can't forget
i still remember
his breath
his voice still rings in my ear
his presence is still felt
i seem to see his face in the crowd
why? why?
his soul lives on in me
yet it is the physical frame
why can i feel his pain
is it that thread of love
that binds us till restrain..

Tears Of Pain

Tears of pain stream down my although I know you're in a better place
Wishing I could see your face..,
Tears of pain stream down my face, I know you won the race.
All your pain finally ends, you and I were close friends,
Tears of pain stream down my face, I'll still be here in the end,
Tears of pain stream down my face this is something I can't take.
It wasn't fare for you to go; I have never felt a deeper hole.
Tears of pain stream down my face I feel
Your presence, in my place
I sure do miss that smiling face,
Tears of pain stream down my face,
You were the brightness to fill my greys,
Tears of pain stream down my face
I miss the feeling of embrace,
When looking at your wonderful face
Tears of pain stream down my face.
It came to soon, but your alright I try to talk to you every night.
now I know you're in a better place, The tears of pain have withered away.

Pain of Tears

I lie my head down and cry
Pain of tears come running down my face
They wonder what the pain of tears are for
They try to calm me down
But with this pain no one can
I wonder myself why
And will these tears come everyday
That I will never know
That I will have to figure out
This pain is so sharp
I don't believe I can live with it
Till the day I die
This pain will stay with me

Pain...What is it?

Pain...What is pain?
Pain...get wrapped in the head with a baseball bat,
That could be called pain.
Pain...get kicked in the gut by a cowboy boot,
That might cause a little pain.
Pain...poke a needle in your eye,
That might cause a little pain.
Pain...get your fingers caught in a motorcycle chain,
That might cause a little pain.
Pain...jump in front of a train,
That might cause a little pain.
Pain...lose control while flyin' a plane,
That might cause a little pain.
Pain...There ain't ever no gain in pain.

Tears, Blood, & Smiles

My tears are for you, yes for you.
For you because, you hurt inside.
For you because, you seldom smile.

My blood is for you, yes for you.
For you because, your pain cut me.
Your pain impacts me.

This smile is for you, yes for you.
For you because, I need to bleed no more.
For you because, I need to bleed no more.

I need you to smile for me, yes for me.
For me because, I cried for you.
For me because, I bled for you.

WE need to smile.
Smile because, we've cried enough.
Smile because, we've bled enough.
Smile because, our pain is gone.

Change

simple people just stand and stare
but you know what burden i bear
you smile at others pain
but tell me, what do you gain?

you took my life
and cut it with your knife
it hurts to much to show
just how low will you go?

I held out my hand
but you think your so grand
well why dont you try to live your life
when all you know is how to cause strife

the world gives you chances
but all you give are your evil glances
everybody's screaming at you to change
but you think your not to blame

well let me tell you
once you find someone to look to
that is when you will feel pain
as you stand alone in the rain

Pain in my mind

Pain in my mind
Pain is what I go through,
Everyday
This pain fills me
Pain stuffed inside of me
Pain of stress on my life

You can feel the pain in my heart
I hide the pain behind the smile
I see myself in the past and I,
Dont want to return
I never knew how much pain,
cant hurt.

The memories of pain live,
on and on,
So much sadness in me
Years have passed,
Life begins again.

My Kidney, Stoned

Oh the pain, the pain
nearly drove me insane
never felt pain as this

I was stoned literally, stoned
from the bladder up to the kidney
Oh woe! was me

twenty four hours
I lay there in a bed
lovely nurses galore

though their luscious, insidious beauty
did me no good
blinking my eyes to wish the pain away
if I only could

plenty of morphine to ease this drought
' till the next morn
I did roam
to the O.R

the op was a success
although quite the mess
urinating blood for a day or two
I'd never wish this pain
on your worst enemy

so as far as I can see
things will be fine
as long as I keep my diet in line

must sacrifice some foods I love
spinach, shell fish
even some meats

just another pain in life
putting up with
a momentary strife
getting blessed from a doctor
under his knife

Brand-new-life

So bad when you went away
Nothing I could do or say
And now we are a lonely two
Sit at home and watch the tube
Ive been hurt before,
Sorrow knocking on my door
Pain
And so I make a brand-new-life
Fashioned out of brand-new strife
And when I hear the doorbell ring
I can never let them in to me
Pain is in me every day
When you went it came to stay
Come and be a cure for me
Make the tears come out of me
So bad when you went away
Nothing I could do or say
And when I hear the doorbell ring
I can never let them in to me

Pain in the Rain

Decipher these rhymes
Walk slowly
Recycle the good memories
Now I’m lonely

Refrain:
Wet is my temples
Water drops in vain
The lightning chuckles
I’m sick of the rain

Chorus:

Can somebody explain
Why life is so simple, so plain
Cuz I can’t see through this fog of rain
This flood of tears
This constant pain
Of forgetting our dreams
Self-pity remains
Pain, let it shine
Pain, let it slide
Pain, at our side
Pain, let it shine

Remember these crimes
Tap me in my fantasy
Remember me this time
Try to feel me

Bridge:
Remove the curtains aside
Let it fall down on you
The sunshine
(2x)

Let it shrink inside,
The sunshine
LEAVE THE STORMY DAYS BEHIND!
SHINE!

(Repeat Chorus)

Pain, let it shine
Pain, let it slide,
Pain, at our side
Pain, make me shine
Shine…

My Kind of Pain

I heard that pain has 3 categories
1st is insignificant and mild
2nd is managable and bearable
3rd is decapitating and wild 

I don't think my pain exists
Alas I do not feel either three
My pain is different from them
Something only felt by me

My pain is harsh and numbing
It's cold as ice and hot as fire
It's pericing as a dagger and knife
It diminishes all you may desire

My pain doesn't originate from my body
My pain doesn't originate from my brain
My pain is deep within my soul
And my soul's essence it will drain

My pain will perice ur shield
My pain will claim ur short life
My pain will cause you great agony
My pain will involve immeasurable strife

It is strong in its consumption
It pulls u away from light & hope
It seeks to destroy what u hold dear
And drags u in an downward slope

Its intensity is so tangible
You can see it take a form
Of ur dark & deepest fears
It will be able to transform

It haunts ur days & nights
It spreads terror down ur spine
It hurts & taunts in evey way
Its anything but benigin

I heard there were 3 categories
But now im adding 4
My kind of pain exists
It's something u can't ignore
