The Thorn

Image hosted by Photobucket.com
The thorn is deep.
Out of the wound, it seeps.
My blood, flowing freely.
His blood, He shed for me.

The thorn causes pain.
Will He die in vain?
I must take a stand,
While I hold His hand.

The thorn is inside.
Consumes all my pride.
Reveals what I hide.
The life two people know,
Something I do not show.

The thorn seeks to destroy.
To take all my joy,
Causing pain and sorrow.
Just God, me and shadow.

The thorn is always there,
Piercing my skin bare.
My soul, naked and raw.
My heart is in awe.

The thorn I will embrace,
Even to my disgrace.
See through heaven's eyes,
Destroying all my lies.

The thorn is my cross.
Daily I must bear it.
All my life, it will cost,
For this love, to share it.

The thorn is a blessing.
My life is never the same,
Constant pain, scorn and shame.
God likes to keep us guessing...

Wide Open Road

My heart is crying out Can you hear it shout, What it is longing for? It just wants to soar. To go up and over Like a Range Rover, On the highest mountain. To dive into the depths Of the largest fountain. To scale tall buildings, And fly among the birds. Haven't you ever heard? My heart is crazy and wild Just like a little child, Who wants to explore All of creation for The best kind of fun. In the morning sun My heart will run, After what it desires. It never tires Of going for gold. Or of being sold Out for Christ. Deny Him thrice? You got to be tripping. I'll be whipping The Devil back From his attack. I am a warrior, a soldier. Getting stronger, as I'm older. My heart is crying out To jump all around And for beauty to be found. So that it may be rescued. My thoughts aren't skewed! What you talking about fool? You need to go back to school. I want to fight the fight, Of darkness and light...

September 11, 2001

Just a few days ago It was September 11, A day, that in 2001, Some people went to heaven. They left our lives And some of them, their wives, On that day they died. Because of two planes And people who were insane. That day is a day That will live forever, And for some people It will never get better. We mourn those who Gave their all While on call. To save one or two People crying out Can you hear them shout? "Save me, help me, I don't want to die!" And so many of us can only ask, "Why?" Why did this happen to us? Who should we trust? How can we live on? What is the reason? I tell you today That I cannot say, That I know how they feel Or how they will deal, With this kind of loss That makes them feel gross. I wish I could make Their pain fade away. But I cannot take Back what will not stay, Because of the fact that God let it go that way. He controls whether we live or die, And knows every moment we cry. He wants to giv...

Too Many Emotions

Right at this moment My head is in a whirl I have many comments On life in this world But I do not know Where to go Or what to feel. What's the deal? I miss my friends. I want to spend Time with them all, Hear them say, "Y'all!" But they are gone What seems like forever! Will a day actually come Will I ever, See them again Before the end? I want them back So much I do But is that Really accurate? I feel sad for my loss (I'm even losing my boss) But I am also glad For the days ahead You hear what I said? I am looking forward To the new and awkward, Times with new friends Who are coming soon. What will they be like? Will we grow as much As I did before? Who will I know And where will we go, When we want to have fun Or to just tan in the sun? I really do not know What it is that will go On in the next few months. But I do know this I will trust in God, You know who He is? He...
