STARTING OVER

 

I feel the tension mounting,

 every second of every day.

The stress overwhelms me,

and nothing goes my way.

I lost my favorite job,

and my options are very few.

I lost my best friend,

what am I going to do?

Starting over was never easy, 

it never was meant to be.

It's always a time of learning,

and not a time of harmony.

My bills keep piling,

and all my cupboards are bare.

I reached out to others,

but no one really cares.

I lost another car,

and all my possessions too.

Here I am starting over,

at the age of sixty-two

Starting over was never easy,

it never was meant to be.

It's always a time of learning,

and not a time of harmony.

So I fix my eyes on Jesus,

I know he's always near.

He can take away my sorrows,

and cast away my fears.

I place my hope in Jesus,

even when life looks grim.

He promised to help me,

I know I can trust him.

THANKS FOR BEING MY FRIEND.

I WILL REMEMBER YOU

 

So many days have come and gone.

But the memories of you is still strong.

From the first day when we just met.

To the last day I will never forget.

You're the most caring person I ever knew.

I will remember you.

I look through the photographs and see.

How wonderful it use to be.

All the things we use to do.

All the places we went to.

Our love for each other grew.

I will remember you.

Day and night I see your face.

Moments of love you can't erase.

We became best friends.

Our love seem to have no end.

Until God called you home. 

I will remember you.

PLAY IT FOR CJ

 

All the times you helped me.

All the food you shared.

All the things you did for me.

You showed you really cared.

My times with you I treasure,

more precious than real gold.

Those times we prayed together,

those memories I'll always hold.

My times with you were splendid,

I thank God every day.

Those memories keep me going,

they'll never fade away.

My times with you were special,

we were happy as can be.

Those times we ate together,

and also watched TV.

My times with you have ended,

it's so hard to say goodbye.

Till we meet again,

those memories will never die.

CJ

 CJ

My heart aches every time I see.

The empty chair near the TV.

My best friend suddenly passed away.

Part of me died and I'm left astray.

I miss CJ, she was my best friend.

We had great times till the end.

I know God will call me home too.

Till we meet again, CJ, I LOVE YOU!

NEW CHAPTER IN LIFE

 

   There is a book titled, 

"THE BOOK OF LIFE"

Inside this book you'll find,

every word we said.

No matter if the words,

 were good or bad, 

 We cannot change it,

 or even erase it.

As long as we're alive,

the story isn't over.

There's a new chapter titled,

A NEW BEGINNING"

We start on a new page,

that is called today.

The page is empty,

that needs to be filled.

This page is reserved,

 for you and me.

Will you join me,

 in this next chapter?

Let's start with words,

that contain love and forgiveness.

Let our actions show, 

we love God and each other.

 

PLEASE HELP ME

        Sometimes I want to pray,

        not knowing what to say.

        Except the tears I want to cry,

        and for you to be at my side.

        Sometimes I want to pray,

        with the words I want to say.

        The moment I want to see,

        when you are there to hold me.

        Sometimes I want to pray,

        with the words I need to say.

        For you to answer my plea,

        the words of PLEASE HELP ME!

This Is Your Story

 

              This is your story,

 what have you done?

Have you shown kindness,

 do you love everyone?

This is your moment,

 what will you do?

What will you say,

 when someone comes to you?

The people you meet,

 what emotion do you create?

Consider your choices,

 it's love or it's hate,

We must heed God's word,

 because it's all true.

If you love God, 

you'll obey his word too.

This is your story,

 what will you do?

When someone you know,

 is angry at you.

This is your moment,

 the impact you can make.

From your own words, 

and the action you take.

Your emotions buildup,

 what thoughts do you create?

Consider your choices,

 it's love or it's hate.

We must heed God's word,

 because it's all true.

If you love God,

 you'll obey his word too.

This is your story,

 how will it end?

You'll be judged,

 on what you did back then.

  

In Memory of CJ

When God gave us CJ,

for a relative and a friend.

Those ties are never broken,

even when we saw her life end.

We miss her precious smile,

and her love and care.

We never forget those times,

and wish she was still there.

She may have passed,

but the memories we can hold.

For a relative and a friend,

who had a heart of gold.

Our hearts may be grieving,

and the tears we may shed.

But we have this time,

to recall the words she said.

She may have left us,

but her life was not in vain.

We can always honor her,

and carry on in her name.

This is a special tribute,

to a relative and a friend.

We know she's with God,

and we'll see her again.

MY SPECIAL FRIEND CJ

You gave a cheer and a smile,

to one whose heart was sad.

You were kind and generous,

which made me happy and glad.

You showed your friendliness,

in every single way you knew.

You touched my lonely heart,

that even my smile came through.

You greeted me every day,

with your sweet and loving care.

You showed your thoughtfulness,

with food you were willing to share.

You did so many wonderful things,

to brighten my day.

God surely blessed me,

when he sent you my way.

Long Road Ahead

God has chosen this time,
which you patiently waited for so long.
To serve him in a way,
where his name is praised in every song.
Now you look ahead,
to the road that God is leading you.
A road in life,
that is reached by only so few.
So in times of trouble,
remember what God has done for you.
God will always help,
in everything you say and do.
So every burden that comes,
take the time to pray.
God's Holy Spirit will help,
and lead the way.
So when you pray each day,
 these words you should always say.
Dear Lord, I ask you,
to please help me today.

Face The World With The Lord

Face the world with the Lord,

with his love and all his care.

You know that he promised,

he will always be there.

Face the world with the Lord,

with the knowledge he will lead.

You know that he hears your prayers,

and provides what you need.

Face the world with the Lord,

with the life he gave.

You know that he died for you,

so you can be saved.

Face the world with the Lord,

with his word that no one can break.

You can believe in his promise,

that he will never forsake.
