Somebody To Lean On - Oct. 29, 2009

I see the pain upon your face
You've lost all of your joy and grace
You feel it's an unsolvable case
That noone has been in this place

But I know many types of pain
I'll help you if you will explain
Just let it flow out like the rain
If not, you might just go insane

I want to ease your trouble and stress
And take away your worriness
To help you make it through this test
And come back out of it your best

Just talk to me, a listening ear
You know I will always be here
To lend a word of grace and cheer
Or just to wipe away a tear

I never want you to be sad
I'll do what i can to make you glad
I'll be a best friend, not a dad
Just let me know what is so bad

Scenes In The Sky - Oct. 16, 2009

   I look strait up and what do I see? A little boy looking back at me. A fire truck, a limousine. A tall tree, I imagine green.

   Look slightly left and what is there? A rabbit, a turtle, a baby bear. A woman stands with braided hair. But to this spot I mustn’t stare.

   Back to the right I see a man with son and daughter hand in hand. They’re smiling as big as they can while like a stone they ever stand.

   But now I cannot find the tree. The little boy I do not see. The fire truck and limousine have somehow vanished from the scene.

   Where is the woman with braided hair? The rabbit? The turtle? Baby bear? I do not see them anywhere. I am so sad, do they not care?

   Now I have even lost the man. I faintly see his daughter’s hand. The clouds have moved and cleared that land, but maybe a new one will span.

   So now I look so hopingly at where the young boy used to be. To my surprise, what do I see? A new man looking down at me.

Falling... - Oct. 12, 2009

   I watch her stumble everyday, and fall time after time. I help her up, but for my efforts, she won’t give a dime. For now she never looks my way, as once she did before. Now I am just another face, but her I still adore.

   I feel so lonely in this world without her by my side. I need her now, for in her love is where I did abide. Without her here I am so weak, I don’t know what to do. My baby left and took my heart, now I am left so blue.

   I pray she has the best of life, for she deserves it all. But I will be here waiting in case one day she does fall. I’ll catch her once again and help her up if she desires. But maybe one day she will not want to go any higher.

   Maybe she will see the rest for what they truly were. She’ll see that through it all I was the one right there for her. Until that day, though, I will wait and play my mournful song. I pray she finds one decent guy that doesn’t do her wrong.

   As long as she is happy I will limp my way through life. For her, I will endure all of the suffering and strife. I’d take hers too if I so could, I’d gladly take her pain. Even if she left me standing outside in the rain.

   I want her to be happy, no matter what it cost. I will protect her until my entire life is lost. Just maybe one day she will notice it was always me. Maybe she’ll open her eyes, and true love she will see.

   For me it was love at first sight, I’ve loved her all along. I’ll wait for her to fall for me, I hope it’s not too long…

I Come To You Again - Sept. 08, 2009

By: Heath Lafferty & Grace Lafferty

Lord I come to You again
Back down upon my knees
Yes I come to You again
Forgive me please
Oh I come to You again
I know that I have sinned
But I come to You again
You forgave me in the past
All I had to do was ask
So I come to You again

Lord I come to You again
You are the one I need
Yes i come to You again
You are my king
Oh I come to You again
I need Your mighty love
So I come to You again
You're the rock on which I stand
So I ask Lord hold my hand
As I come to You again

Lord I come to You again
To thank You for Your grace
Yes I come to You again
To bring You praise
Oh I come to You again
To exalt Your holy name
Yes I come to You again
You're the cornerstone of all
You make all the others strong
So I come to You again

So That We Could Be Saved - May 04, 2009

Verse 1) He worked hard to give us everything we have.

Our clothes and shoes, a good ole mom and dad.

And He gave us His love. It came down from above

Just for you and me.

But then with time we soon had turned away. (So He)


Chorus) Gave us His son just to die on that tree

Thus bringing salvation to you and to me.

And I can’t imagine the pain that He faced.

God gave His only son so that we could be saved.


Verse 2) Now we forget to pray, and we never get down on our knees.

Even though we know that everything we do, He sees.

If we would just return to stand by His side

He would take us in.

And He would forgive us of our sin. (Because He)


(To Chorus)


Bridge) He has arms open wide and a pierce in His side

To show you the way to the bright, shining day.

And He’ll help you along when you’re not feeling strong

If you will only just praise His name. (God)


End Chorus) Gave you His son just to die on that tree

Thus bringing salvation to you and to me

Can you imagine the pain that He faced

God gave His only son so that you could be saved.


Tag) Think of the sacrifice made.

Won’t you just talk to God so that you can be saved?

Feelings - July 26, 2008

   Many times we hide our feelings
All the things we cannot show.
But when we try to hide our feelings
It will one day all explode.

   When we hide away our feelings
We hide away part of ourself.
We are not whole without our feelings.
We need them to hold up life's shelf.

   Feelings are a tricky thing.
They will confuse us at some time.
But if we listen to our feelings
Our life will flow like a rhyme.

   Feelings control the whole world.
They are a role in everything.
We always fight with our feelings.
We want some comfort that they bring.

   But feelings dont play by our rules.
They make them as they go.
They make life hard for you and me
But there is a reason so.

   Feelings are there to help us all
Through good times and through bad.
They help us when we're happy
And they help us when we're sad.

   They put us through all of these things
So next time we will know.
We learn to fight for whatever it is.
We learn to get up and go.

   Feelings are a tricky thing.
They will confuse us at some time
But if we listen to our feelings
Our life will flow like a rhyme.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR FEELINGS?

Why? - June 28, 2008

WHY

   why cant we make out feelings clear?
why cant we tell the truth?
why cant we just let it all out?
we are wasting our youth.

   why cant we say just how we feel,
without the nervousness?
why cant we open ourselves up?
besides, its just between us.

   why cant we say things face to face,
yet we scream it behind there back?
why cant we admit things when they ask,
abiding our lifetime pact?

   why CAN we admit to everyone else
the things we cant tell the one?
why CAN we beat around the bush
instead of just getting things done?

   why cant we answer one single question
that is written in this blog?
why cant we bring our minds back in
and clear away the fog?

WHY

Freaks - Jan. 13, 2008

   They call us freaks in a world of norm.
We make our own way through.
We are not freaks, just have different tweaks.
They are the freaks, not me and you.

   We dress in different outfits.
We talk a different way.
They call us freaks, rednecks, or goths.
But, who cares what they say.

   As long as we know who we are,
There words are small as fleas.
When they bump in and knock us down,
Just say, "Excuse me, please."

   If we ignore all there insults,
eventually, they'll quit.
They'll fall down to where they belong.
In power you will sit.

Christmas Poem - Nov. 10, 2007

   As days go by and we all grow old
One story will always be told
Of a baby born on Christmas Day
In a manger that was filled with hay.

   He was wrapped in blankets by His mom and dad
and by singing, the angels showed they were glad.
He worked with His dad making things with wood
But only He and God knew that he would.

   Grow up and Die to forgive all our sin
then defeat the devil and come back again.
He would then return to his father above
And leave the desciples to tell of his love.

   As days go by and we all grow old
The story of Christ will always be told.
