I asked God to take away my pride, and
God said "NO"
He said it was not for him to take away, but
for me to give up.
I asked God to make my handicapped child whole
and God said "NO".
He said her spirit is whole , and her body
is only temporary.
I askesd God to grant me patience, and
God said "NO"
He said that patience is a by-product of
tribulation, it isn't granted, it's earned.
I asked God to give me happiness and,
God said "NO"
He said he gives blessings, happiness
is up to me.
I asked God to spare me pain, and
God said "NO"
He said suffering draws you apart from worldly
cares and brings you closer to me.
I asked God to make my spirit grow, and
God said "NO"
He said I must grow on my own , but he will
prune me to make me more fruitful.
I asked God if He loved me , and
God said yes!!!
He gave his only son who died for me , and I will be in heaven someday because I believe.
I asked God to help me love others as much
as He loves me, and God said,
"Ah, finally, you have the idea."
They say you can't go home again and I
guess "they" should know,
But, oh, my heart is weary and I want
to go there so.
To sit on Daddy's lap again and feel his love for me,and to hear trot a little horsey as I
sit upon his knee.
To see Mama in the kitchen, doing what she loves to do, to help her if she'd let me, but
she didn't want me to.
I guess it's not the home I miss, but the
feeling that I had,
That everything would be alright, when I saw Mom and Dad.
They say I can't go home again, but maybe
"they" don't know.
I think I'll close my eyes and drift, and
just see where I go.
I'll taste the fresh milk again, still warm
from the cow, and feel the earth between my toes
soft and loose from Daddy's plow.
Maybe I'll hear Mama call again "Kids, supper's ready." and we all go rushing in ,She'll
say "Wait for Daddy."
Maybe me , Sis, and Brother will go to the
creek and spend a day chasing after crawdads,
or on the pond bank's slippery clay.
They say I can't go home again, but maybe
"They" don't know,
If I close my eyes and drift,
Just where my memories will let me go. Words by: Fleta Aday When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw you
hang my first painting on the refrigerator, and
I wanted to paint another one.
When you thought I wasn't looking I saw
you feed a stray cat, and I thought it was good
to be kind to animals.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw
you make my favorite cake for me and I knew
that little things are special things.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I heard
you say a prayer,and I believed there is a
God I could always talk to.
When you thought I wasn't looking , I felt
you kiss me goodnight,and I felt loved.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw
tears in your eyes, and I learned that sometimes
things hurt, but it's all right to cry
When you thought I wasn't looking, I saw
that you cared and I wanted to be everything
that I could be.
When you thought I wasn't looking, I looked...
and wanted to say thanks for all the things I saw when you thought I wasn't looking. I am only me, that is all that I can be
No more, no less, don't second guess
I love, I laugh, I live and cry,
I've wished at times, that I could die
Some days I'm funny, others I'm not,
sometimes I'm in overdrive and cant stop I am a loyal and honest friend, You know that I'll be there until the end I am a father/mother, my children my greatest gift, The smiles on their faces always give me a lift I am a romantic, sensual, sexual, and passionate too, to the love of my life, I'll share this with you I can be sweet and shy or sassy and bold, I'm quite a handful, or so I've been told I am not perfect, I do have my faults, ,p.
Like when I get scared I put up high walls Or I'm not as forgiving, as I'd sometimes like to be, because when I hurt, I hurt deeply My logic is all my own, at times misunderstood, because I don't always do things for my own good I have many facets, like a diamond you see. I'm only 98% perfect,
I'm only Me.
I have been acuainted with the night.
I have walked out in the rain.
I have out walked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet, when far away an interrupted cry
came over houses from another street
But not to call me back or to say good-by,
And further still at an unearthly height
One luminary clock against the sky
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right
I have been acquainted with the night. Words by: Robert Frost Every sunrise is a present, a gift from God above,Gift-wrapped with scarlet ribbons and tied with bows of love.
Each day's a new beginning, a time to start anew,while all the stars are sleeping, and the rose is fresh with dew,
Every day's a creation,too lovely to ignore
and we may find a blessing, just waiting outside our door.
We can not keep the past, like fireflies in
a jar,Nor journey to the future by wishing
on a star.
Every sunrise is a blessing, a gift for just today. Rejoyce, my friend, embrace it before it fades away ! The Lord has stepped in and resolved everyone,
While things of towmorrow are so far away,He
doesn't expect us to face them today.
So we only have one day for all life brings
from challenging problems,to happier things,
Through His strength, and His love, and His
infinite grace,
Each day is the one day God asks us to face. This was given to me by my friend: Sandi
Mistakes made to often, so high the cost
Paths disappear, and again I am lost.
Memories and melodies through a cloud of smoke
Tease me and taunt me...their realities evoke
Life-patterns I've woven on gossamer wings
Dissipate, as the dawn's morning-bird sings.
Troubles and turmoil--confusion surrounds,
my existence too often,changes abound
Fleeing my future by gripping my past--
Creating a nil for eternity's last.
Mirrors flash images of yesterday's smiles
Dead on the roads of infinity's miles.
Whispered secerets of courage are my reward,
for unlocking the mystery that I travel toward...
I"m Only Me
Yesterday's problem's are over and done,
