O Gracious Father

It hurt so bad lord please help me.
I can't fight this alone.
I want be negative anymore.
You get me through the day,
And you give me hope.
You're my strength you are my rock.
You're the leg I stand on the shoulder I lean on.
Embrace me with your comfort.
O gracious lord thank you for your mercy.
You have been so good to me.
I thank you lord.

Struggle

losing that ine is like losing yourself.
but your hiding your emotions on that shelf.
pretending its ok but yet u struggle everyday.
no day is ever gay in this bed i sit and lay.
i cant keep fighting without my loss.
in my bed i turn and toss.
lifes so hard withour my boss.
leading me where i should go.
showing me the smooth road.
y do i still fight every single night.
but its ok im alright.
i just need my loss to make it bright.

Until I Met You

Before I met you, I thought I was happy,
and I was, but I had never known the rich contentment,
deep satisfaction, and total fulfillment
you brought to me when you came into my life.

Before I met you, I felt a lot of things,
good things, but I had never experienced
the indescribably intense feelings I have for you.

Before I met you, I thought I knew myself,
and I did, but you looked deep inside me
and found fresh new things for us to share.

Before I met you, I thought I knew about love,
but I didn't, until I met you.

My Prayer Of Psalms

Dear lord I come to you asking for strength.
As we've fought this in strides and gone a great length.

And I fall so short of your grace so I repent.
Thank you lord for the son that you sent.

As I fight off the devil testing my faith.
And help me not to look back at my life in its wraith.

I beg you Lord just please heal me in whole.
you can do anything you've already saved my soul.

Thanks for the joy you sent when times have been rough.
You are my backbone you hold my head up when it tough.

All mighty God I can never thank you enough.
This is a humble poem no need to call a bluff.

Without You

If not for you, every day would be dreary.
If not for you, I'd feel so weary.
You're here for me when I'm happy or teary.
You're my glasses and now I see clearly.

If not for you, the sun would never shine.
If not for you, every day I'd whine.
You're what I need it's our love that's divine.
You're my light in the dark and I'm so glad you are mine.

If not for you, I wouldn't be who I am.
If not for you, my world would be in a jam.
I'd join the army if you was Uncle Sam.
Say I want you and I'll just say yes ma'am.

If not for you, every day would be blue.
If not for you, my dreams would never come true.
You are my back bone through n through.
So I wanna say thank you an I love you.

When You're Sick

When your sick I swear you still look amazing.
When your sick I know that noodles you r craving.
Ur still happy when your sick and never degrading.
So im gonna doctor you up and work on my painting.

I'll start with your toes, you have the cutest little toes.
Then I'll paint your finger nails. And get some on your nose.
You'll tell me they're good and I'll turn the color of a rose.
And anything you ask of me I'll say "I suppose".

I'll hold you and kiss you who cares if I get sick.
Making you feel better is all that matters and I can do it so quick.
If it would make you feel better I'd let you hit me with a stick.
But only for a bit. Because you hit hard an it'll hurt like sh**

Eyes Of A Godess

The first time our eyes met I knew you were the one.
Hot like a fire and shining like the sun.
Soft like a pillow and pretty like a flower.
Looking in your eyes I have butterflies for hours.
Hazel shine pierces my heart always clear as water.
Running like a stream hopefully the eyes of my daughter.
Bloom in my heart like spring yet as pretty as the fall.

You aren't God but your my all in all.
Seeing tears in your eyes brings pain to my heart.
I Will forever make u smile or my heart will fall apart.
We are all his art you're more or less God's gift.
I'm gonna definitely put u on my Christmas list.
I never miss 1111 but I'm missing your kiss.
Staring in your eyes b4 we kiss that's what I miss.

The Cycle

April showers bring May flowers, Mayflowers bring foreign pilgrims.
Being with you brings smiles for hours, happiness comes out from within you can see my symptoms.

Rain makes corn, and corn makes ethanol.
Ethanol ran my dreams since I was born, life was bread from love we didn't walk before the crawl.

Crawling leads to walking, and walking leads to running.
You run through my heart and mind all day don't pretend that is stunning.

Being stunned causes myself to gasp, which leads back to you.
When I hold you I don't wanna lose my grasp, but I lost my grasp and now im blue.

Even though im blue you make me laugh, laughing makes my world go round and so do you.

Speaking of you, you made us, and us makes me smile.
You're the one who makes me blush, I'd crawl to keep you love with me forever past a mile.

Those Old Shoes

from the first step i took in you,
first day of elementary school i stepped in that gum.
i still wore you as i grew,
and i still charish you like you are new.
id still wear them if they'd fit and look like a bum.
and wouldn't even care if they say i look dumb

soles have fallin out yet your precious to my eye.
Stains all on you my toe playin peek a boo
if i ever lost you shoe i think that i would cry.
better yet i know i would i actually might die.
so for all of you please get a clue.
its not how you do its what you do.

you cant be where you are without knowing where you've been.
i didnt really know how to remember my past then at last.
i grabbed up my shoe n ran an got a pen.
took a deep breathe an counted to ten. and then.
i close my eyes and im back in the past.
not a worry in the world im free at last.

Forever

Your smile glows like the beautiful night sky.
I'm thirsty for your love my hearts starting to run dry.
Your eyes shine like the brightest star.
Money couldn't buy everything that you are.
You're the light in the day you're the moon in the night.
You're in my future that's why it's looking so bright.
I love laying beside you and saying goodnight.
But nothing feels better the starting your day off right.
Saying goodmorning and kissing you on the cheek.
You run thru my mind every second of every week.
You aren't just beautiful you're smart and sweet as could be.
Yet you're the closest thing to perfect and you still love me.
I don't care about the past I'm living for the future.
I'm trying to mend our relationship we need a doctor and a suture.
Once the wound heals we will grow forever more.
And this bond that we have will never be torn.
The love slowly died but now is reborn.
