This is us being us
So much passion
Very little restraint
Counting every second
Of each moment we have
Clinging to slivers
Of scarce opportunities
Enjoying every rendezvous
As if it could be our last

I get lost in your eyes
A sea of swirling mystery
Deeply embedded in my mind
You’re the anchor of my soul
I get lost in your words
Always a varied array of desire
Infinite wants and needs expressed
You’re the ink that colors my heart

Plainly put
She needs more
Not the pot of gold
At the end of the rainbow
But instead, that bit of light
The one beckoning her
From the end of the tunnel
She walks cautiously
Uncertain of where to step
For the ground is uneven
And the rocks are jagged
Does she dare continue?
That tiny bit of light
Seems awfully far away
She sighs…
It’s likely just a mirage

When I think about my life
And don’t focus on mankind
I feel such a positive feeling
As I leave the world behind
And I think about the beauty
The things that God has made
And when I give my worries to him
I’m left feeling unafraid
I wish my mind would dwell more
In the places where he resides
For I know I feel most comforted
When he’s standing by my side
But I get lost to a world
Full of rejection and despair
And so I try to fit in
Which doesn’t get me anywhere
But today is a new day
A chance to try again
And maybe this time
I’ll just give everything to him

For the one who’s imprisoned in so much darkness that they can’t see through
For the one who’s lost in a sea of emptiness trying their very best to make do
For the one who is laughed at and ridiculed daily, and long ago withdrew
For the one who feels alone because heartfelt loving words are long overdue
For the one who feels worthless and ashamed because of a life of blame, it’s untrue
For the one who feels unloved and unaccepted and just wants someone to run to
For the one who’s dying inside and desperately hoping that God is really true
For the one who has hopes and dreams and is just waiting for a chance to breakthrough
This one’s for you…
Never give up and never forget that you are worth so much more than you could ever imagine.
God loves you more in a single moment, than anyone else could love you in a lifetime.
