Traveling the rough trodden dusty road
the dust in my eyes cloud my vision
wish I could board a bus to lighten the load
but I don't regret that making this decision
traveling ahead against the wind
sand in my eyes are getting the best of me
wish I had music to calm my state of mind
But the road i travel makes me free
Traveling forward never looking back
particles in my eyes irritate me so
wish the road was the same on a different track
But He is the way, the truth and the life I know
Traveling towards the end of the race
speck in my eyes make me blind to my fault
wish I had a bike to increase my pace
But slowly Jesus removes the specks and makes me the salt
Traveling leaving my past behind
my eyes are clear and the road clearly defined
I now see, before I was lost, yes I was blind
And apart from Him a greater friend I cannot find.

Greater Love.....
No wound can cut so deep where He cant reach
No heart is so discolored that He cant bleach
For His everlasting Love is able to comfort
His unending tender kindness a sure fort
Who can fathom the depth of his love for us
Who can compare to His care none can pass
Whenever you are sad and have no one to turn to
Remember Jesus has been there and will never leave you
Whenever life brings discourse you cannot bear
Remember Jesus is not far He is ever near
Whenever you hurt so bad your heart is torn
Remember Jesus heals all wounds and comforts your mourn
Whenever you feel lost or unloved
Remember Jesus died for you and you are His beloved
And when you cry those tears of pain
Jesus will wipe them and make you smile again
When you down and your heart is broken
He will pick you up for that His life was taken
Cast all your cares to Him for He cares for you
Live life with no baggage for in Him you are made new
John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends."
No heart is so discolored that He cant bleach

Remember Jesus has been there and will never leave you
Whenever life brings discourse you cannot bear
Remember Jesus is not far He is ever near
Whenever you hurt so bad your heart is torn
Remember Jesus heals all wounds and comforts your mourn
Whenever you feel lost or unloved
Remember Jesus died for you and you are His beloved
And when you cry those tears of pain
Jesus will wipe them and make you smile again
When you down and your heart is broken

Conflicted.....
Decisions decisions,
causing mental divisions
To be or not?
To do or don't?
what is the grand consequence?
Why am I loosing my patience?
It shouldn't be that hard right?
Is it worth all this fight?
Conflicted my heart has become
Is this a result of attachment or am I numb?
What if I close my eyes and just sell it
I don't think I can I must admit
Selling my car is what am talking about here
its not deep poetry but I need to share
A conflicted heart I must cease to be
The decision I make should make me free!

Run the Race......
He called to me and I ran,
I ran to him and not away
to where he was waiting at the bay.
With His arms stretched out wide
With a smile on His face and nothing to hide.
I was besides myself with joy
Pure bliss indeed a day that i would enjoy
I ran as fast as my feeble feet could carry me
My heart beat close to my chest about to be free
I threw my bags down, aside, didn't want the hindrance you see.
He called to me again and I wondered why
I was already running but oh I wasn't drawing nigh
The running must have just been in my mind
I was just standing still like a powerless grind
My heart sunk, my feet gave in, the strength I couldn't find.
I was downcast, perplexed, how come I couldn't run
Tears ran down my rosy cheeks till they burn
I didn't know the reason, or is it that I didn't have the passion
I prayed for answers seeking my own version
So hard I cried I hoped I had His attention.
He called me the third time
Told me not to whine
That I could stand, dust myself and walk again
He ran to me and removed my feet from the miry clay
He held my hand and helped me stand on the Way
His arms covered me and His face shone on me bright as day
I was up and running again
This time I wasn't alone in my own lane
He was there beside me running alongside
My spirit began to get lifted as i saw how far i had drifted
His love was there for me all the time it never shifted.
He called me the last time
We stopped running and it was fine
I knowingly looked into His eyes
As He told me It was time for goodbyes
Bid the world away never to return to lies
To forever live with Him never to roam.
The race was done and we were finally home.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us." Heb 12:1
Look up to Jesus, the author and finisher of my faith!

My daisy
From the moment I picked you outBrought me great joy no doubt
Placed you in my rose garden
There my heart to gladden
Your white petals blooming
Makes for handsome grooming
And your elegant poise
Separates you from all of the boys
Am so glad it was you
The roses are delighted too
Your smile and charm melt my heart
Of it you became a special part
Day after day I thank God you came my way
Your petals I pray stay and not fall away
The white, the yellow, the strong stalk green
you're charming and you're mellow make me feel sixteen

New Dawn....
you are in a dark room high walls no windows
In the corner scared of what might be lurking in the shadows
you cant breathe coz the air around you is getting thicker
sweat dripping from your face your body's getting weaker
you cant see in front of you so you don't make a move
darkness surrounds you theres nothing you'll try to prove
so u slowly hold the wall behind and get a base
to slowly set yourself down in a little space
you get all the way down and stretch your feet
you try to fan yourself a bit coz of all the heat
soon u start to feel it, a breeze u start to hear it
the wind blowing on your face, a window shaped form falls into place
through the wall u see the hole form, clearly u see a new dawn
you are not mistaken its for real,you get up and begin to kneel
you see the hole grow now to form an open door
you get up on your feet you get up from the floor
you begin to pray, thanking God you adore
you got a way out in time you were not done for.

to be free...
Accused:
what's with the delay? what's the verdict?
judge please today am anxious but not a convict
to the prison cells do not send me I will disagree
What crime have I done to dishearten thee
Judge:
Let us first hear what the jury has to say
If u insist on innocence then do not dismay
For just is the system I serve with no corruption
and fair the sentence that is passed to the nation
Jury:
The verdict is here for all who are waiting
Hush now listen keenly to avoid repeating
We as the jury find the accused...innocent
You are free to go without paying a cent
Judge:
The jury has spoken and I must agree
The accused has done nothing to dishearten me
Go on now Sir and continue with your life
Order in my court! No need for strife
Accused- Now Free:
The justice system is indeed fair
For nothing i did deserved my presence here
Home bound I am happy and free
To make a something of myself....to be all I can be.

Something beautiful...
To have all my dreams come true
To have my sentence end with you
To have the sky remain blue
That would be something beautiful
To have my heart race for you
To have me smile through and through
To have joy and peace too
That would be something beautiful
To be the one you want me to be
To be the only one you see
To celebrate the next jubilee
That would be something beautiful
To walk in the dark without fear
To know that you are ever near
To fill my life with good cheer
That would be something beautiful
To have my sentence end with you
To have the sky remain blue
That would be something beautiful
To have my heart race for you
To have me smile through and through
To have joy and peace too
That would be something beautiful
To be the one you want me to be
To be the only one you see
To celebrate the next jubilee
That would be something beautiful
To walk in the dark without fear
To know that you are ever near
To fill my life with good cheer
That would be something beautiful

Like a child
sitting alone with no one around
thoughts consume my head in a trance I am bound
with a heart so broken and a love so wound
Contemplating within myself I seek
to get answers to all the queries I speak
the war inside causes the future to seem bleak
From a distance from a far
it became clearer as I began to decipher
my life as it was became a blur
slowly certainty became a reality
What I was looking for was simplicity
Life without formality or legality
Like a child to be carefree
cast my concerns to the holy deity
to live by the bible and head His decree.....

Like a baby........
I never thought I would be taken aback by such innocence
Such pureness of heart, no false humility, no pretense
Fills my heart with love and joy so immense
May God lead you and help us to give u moral sense
