Thankfulness

flowers-2583663_960_720

I am thankful for the life I have
For I’ve been blessed beyond reason
My creator has been with me
Through every tumultuous season
And that’s the only explanation
For why I’m still here today
Because without god in my life
I know I never would have found my way

How I feel sometimes…

people-2565369_960_720

Early morning
Darkest night
No one here
To hold me tight
Always lonely
Nobody near
Forever alone
Is what I fear
And even god
Seems distant now
Even he
Has vanished somehow
And reality hits me
That this is it
I’m never getting out
Of this solitary pit

Sour drop dreams

candy-1961536_960_720

Mmmm… scrumptious and smooth
Rolling around on your tongue
Your sour drop dreams
Have only just begun

Juicy goodness
Mouth-watering tang
Sure to cure
Your sugar craving pang

Can you taste it?
So sumptuously sweet and sour
It’s tempting to bite it
And completely devour

It doesn’t get much more
Splendiferous than this
I implore you to share it
With a warm luscious kiss

If someone really loves you
It’s foolish to wish them away
Best to hug them with all your might
And tell them you want them to stay

And if eventually they have to leave
It’s important to make sure they know
Just how much they mean to you
And how much you love them so

Just let them go…

If someone refuses to love you
It’s pointless to wish it so
Best to shrug your shoulders
And finally let them go

And if they come back to you
It’s best to set them free
For a heart that refuses to love you
Can never really be
