THE END OF ADDICTION
Reaching out to catch you and save you from the fall
so many times I caught you and warned you of that wall.
I’m holding onto you in every possible way
Overpowered by your strength I’m begging you to stay
My eyes are pouring tears as I watch you try to cross a weak and broken bridge
Where I’ve seen too many fall from the never returning edge
As the waters run rapid like a raging beast below your feet
Waters so powerful even you cannot defeat
This is the place I’ve warned you of so many times before
The place where I can’t save you anymore
Your ears have grown deaf to me as your eyes have turned from blue to black
The devil of addiction has taken you as I fight to get you back
LIFE
Looking back trying to rekindle my childhood, my memories seem to be scattered, Maybe God has erased most of them and left only the ones that mattered.
Trying to sort through the ones that still remain
finding myself saddened and my heart filled with so much pain.
As a little girl growing up I felt so alone
The lifestyle that surrounded me, I wish I would have never known
i longed for the one thing that every child needs and should never have to go without,
The love and nurturing from a mother I knew nothing about
The absence of her emotions haunt me every day
Although I'm grown now with children of my own I still long to feel her acceptance , love and for The Lord to touch her every time I Pray
She will never know or even care how much she has hurt me deep inside
She will never feel the e...
Majestic Ocean
Listen closely to the sound , this seashell that has floated upon the shore of white sand, as you place it's magic upon your ear, the rippling sound of the crashing waves is what you hear.
Oh how I wish I could fit inside, for the tide descending back into these Waters of blue, carrying me into the majestic ocean floor beyond the sands never touched by man, the beauty these Waters allow us to see, I am imagining how mysterious the rest could be, for we haven't a clue. Laying beneath the so much unseen , lost city's, sunken vessels, treasures of a time long ago , the story of another time all buried beneath a place we dare not go. Laying beneath the grounds of our feet another world left undiscovered , only to imagine, the the secrets it keeps , the magestic land that remains unseen.
In The End
One of these days , you will see my worth and know my loyalty, you will understand what I gave and realize I gave it all. You will look back on the dreams we had and the memories we made, when we could have made so many more. You will realize and acknowledge all of the things taken for granted , you will then understand all of the insults and harsh words weren't necessary. Although you may have hurt my heart and scarred my soul, you have only discouraged me for the moment, and I may never forget the things you said but I always forgave you. I never claimed perfection and stand in my own wrongs. The only difference is, I can own my faults and admit them to you , will it all be worth it in the end, when your faults can only touch one soul, and that one soul will be only you.?

Hero
Look onward out towards the crashing waves of the sea.
It's there I dare to compare the rock holding form upon the crystal reef.
Compare to whom for there is no capable being upon this Earth holds claim to equal such
I know only one strong enough to withstand those violently crashing waves , my hero , my daddy, his back totes the weight of the world every day , this rock standing firm in the heart of the crystal reef, holds little force to compare
Journey with me for your eyes won't believe
Young but recalling the blizzard one winter my hero, my daddy that returned from the mountain
Eyes of sky blue shining through crystals of icicle hanging from his lashes, his face purple from the wicked freeze of sleet.
I peered with pain while my mother laid warmth over my hero's frozen face, it was the rock in the reef that cold winter's day far across the fierce mountain snow he...
