Influenced by Drugs

The pain of seeing
Your own child

Influenced by drugs
Sends a dagger
Through your heart
And rips away at your soul

You think to yourself
Where did I go wrong?
Why would he let himself be this way?

You cry a mountain of tears
And think you're a failure
As mum, a parent
To the one child you love the most

But then you remember
What it was like
To be so young

Experimenting, and finding out
That the sins of life
Are just that way
It's part of everday life

So with determination
And heart full of love
You explain to your child
The mistakes you made

And hope and pray
That he will know

Regardless of all the mistakes
You will always love him anyway

For Every Child

For every child who cries at night
Alone with shame in pain and fright

For every child who wants so much
To only feel a gentle touch

For the beaten child, who cries in pain
Whose tears run silent, like the rain

For the child used to satisfy lust
Who never learns to love or trust

For the child taken from her home
And made to feel so all alone

For the child whose home is just a shell
Where life becomes a living hell

For the child who smiles but cannot feel
Because of scars too deep to heal

For every child who yearns for love
I hope and pray to God above

To hear your cries and heal your pain
And give you back your life again

Child, Child

Child, child, love while you can
The voice and the eyes and the soul of a man;
Never fear though it break your heart --
Out of the wound new joy will start;
Only love proudly and gladly and well,
Though love be heaven or love be hell.

Child, child, love while you may,
For life is short as a happy day;
Never fear the thing you feel --
Only by love is life made real;
Love, for the deadly sins are seven,
Only through love will you enter heaven.

Child Within

She loved the man
Who stayed the night
That made the child
Lord it seemed so right
Her mamma cried
And her daddy swore
It nearly broke her heart
She needed so much more
Life begin oh child within
Life begin a child within
Who can say
Why lovers part
Shell always keep a place for him
Inside her heart
He writes a bit
And people seem sincere
But she wished theyd call it more than
Just a souvenir
Life begin a child within
Life begin a child within
She fell in love
Was that a crime
Shes not a bad girl
But you know it happens all the time
You give yourself
To the one you love
Tomorrow heartbreak
You never dream of
Life begin a child within
Life begin a child within
Life begin a child within

Witch Child

This is a story of anger and pain;
Of inner storms with tears like rain;
Of hunger for love, and thirst for revenge;
Of lost hope, and a life of constant change.

There once was a child who had a great life,
Never knew sadness and never knew strife.
Until one day an old witch came a'knocking,
With dark eyes full of hatred and mocking,
And a mind with the cruellest intentions.
She ruined the child without hesitation:
She took away what the child loved the most.
All that the child had left was a ghost -
A ghost of an old faded memory,
And a heart full of pain and misery.
Innocence turned into monstrosity,
The child's pain turned into atrocity.
Soon the child was no longer a child,
But a vile creature, angry and riled.

Love is a child

Love was a child, so meek and so mild
Love was a child who smiled.
Love was a child who played with a toy train
Love was a child who jumped in puddles in the rain.
Love was a child who laughed and played.
Love was a child God lovingly made.
Love is a child that God now holds
Love is a child who will never grow old.
Love is a child we sorely miss
Love is a child who Angels now kiss.
Love is a child.

Where Is The Child?

love is blind,
life is wild,
death is wide,
where is the child?
hatred everywhere,
badness fills the air,
life is so unfair,
where is the child?
no one is funny,
bees make no honey,
everyone is running after money,
where is the child?
hearing no good voice,
there is much noise,
by a freaky gang of boys,
where is the child?
no one is having a good dream,
everyone wants to scream,
there is no more white cream,
where is the child?
purity is gone,
children have no fun,
badness is now in everyone,
where is the child?
there is no more respectable art,
no real love in any heart,
sadness in every part,
where is the child?
where is the child?
where is the child?

Lifesong

to a child very young
life is
happiness and fun

to a child getting bigger
life and school
seem to be getting bitter

to a child growing up
life and love
seem to be getting mixed up

to a child fully grown
life is about
making choices on your own

to a child with a child
life is about
making sure there life isn't wild

to a child getting old
life is about
keeping your family out of the cold

to a child old and grey
life is about
remembering the past things you used to say

to a child dead and gone
life was about
your one lifesong

Family

She came to me so sweetly,
life bubbling from within her
strong as an angel's beating wings;

more spirit than child
yet emerging as a person
into this life full blown
brimming with that
unconscious happiness
youth brings.

Understand:

every parent feels this way
about every child,

no matter what happens
in the in-between;

no matter the heart-ache
the Bond remains;

no matter how battered
the relationship,
trust the love
is there beneath
the frown;

no matter the arguments,
the confusion;
the mayhem;

that love is there for you.
It came with your birth
and never dies.

Even love badly expressed
feint and halting
and not enough-
even never expressed;
it is still love.

Disappointments come
from love not hate
only indifference is fatal;

And, you love them too.
Yes, you do.

They are planted in your soul's soil
forever;
indelibly.

They brought life to you.

Yours is the sacred Bond

Mother and Child
Father and Child
Family
alway present
in mind and heart
never gone.

Our child once grown

What if my wife revealed that she was pregnant by me?
However, what if our child one day chose simply not to believe?
In nine months and eighteen years, I need to answer this question.
Nine months for God and my wife to give birth to the little one.
Eighteen year for us to train them in the way that they should go.
But, it is our child choice in whom to believe once grown and outside our front door.

At home, our child shall be instructed about the consequences of their sin.
Our child will understand the punishment of God for sin in the end.
I will train our child up in the Godly way that they should always go.
I will show them the love of the wonderful God I personally know.
Once grown, by us, our child shall be shown how to live life righteously.
Regardless in whom they believe, they will always be our child to me.

How would I feel if in spite of everything I taught and showed our child?
Our child decided, once grown, to take another way in life for a while.
Although taught while young not to steal; once grown they stole any way.
Although taught while young not to lie; once grown they lied every day.
Would I abandon them as quickly as the rest of the world?
Would they still be the prized apple of your heart and still be daddy’s little boy or girl?

Still, there is always a chance our child might choose in God not to believe.
If our child does, it is not because of the lack of the right instructions from me.
I will love our child even if by their life they chose not to follow God.
Because no matter what our child is an important part of my heart.
In who to continue to believe that major choice of life shall be their own.
But, they are still our child though they choose not to believe or act right once grown.

Fear for Life

A saddened heart and tear filled eyes
A begger for needs and puppy for love
Wisdom of words
Is a seekers thirst
A hurting love for a child's pain
An abandoned heart that used to love
Child's love to child's trust
Painful tears as past reveals
A child's worry of a death may come
Day to day the thoughts the same
WILL I LIVE ANOTHER DAY?

Child

Child,
God knows
how much I love you.

Child,
I may not be
the kind of mother
that you want,
I may not have given you
the kind of life
that you want,
but I'm your mother
and no one can change that.

Child,
you are so dear to me,
and all through my life
I wish nothing
but your happiness.

Child,
forgive this mother
for not having the strength
to protect you from sadness
of being apart
from your loved one.

But child,
I am more sad
when you cry for a man
whom I think
not worthy of you.

So child,
please bear the pain
because I believe
that somewhere
there is someone
worthy of your love.

Child,
trust me
you will find that man,
if you just set yourself free
from your wrong love.

Child,
I'm your mother...
I have raised you,
and I know
what is best for you.

Child Heart

My body is an adult.
But my heart is a child.
I give cause it's loving.
And it makes my heart smile.

Some say I'm too sensitive.
When they make my heart cry.
Their words can be cutting.
Or thoughts they imply.

Young at heart so they say.
Love so tender and pure.
Your unloving intentions.
My child heart insecure.

It took most of my life.
To know what was true.
To pursue what you love,
Love what you pursue.

Lesson from an angel.
It is my belief.
Let me steal back your heart.
But not like a thief.

My time machine heart.
Once hard like a rock,
Now soft like a kitten.
Reversing the clock.

My love it has changed.
Your heart I will cherish.
With it far away.
My child heart will parish.

Love, it is simple.
It's so black and white.
Yet we make it so gray.
Like clouds hide sunlight.

Now I love like a child.
Cause I have a child heart.
Let it bring us together.
Let us have a new start.

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.

The greatest gift a parent can give a child is unconditional love. As a child wanders and strays, finding his bearings, he needs a sense of absolute love from a parent. There's nothing wrong with tough love, as long as the love is unconditional.

Heart Broken

You wish upon a star
Your a child left behind
You fall in love with everyone
you break your heart without a doubt
Crying sorrow and letting fly
Upon a star you leave it all
You wish for better every night
You wish for love to come all night
Were made believe that its all fine
Were made believe about true love
child child hear me out
Your all grown up and stand up right
Child Child listen right
Your lost in mind your never right
Fairy tales and love is wrong
Stars upon the skys are all but tales
Child act your age and learn this right
Love is fake and crazy tales
