CJ's NEW HOME

 


She's no longer lives with us,

she's with God in heaven.

She's no longer excluded, 

but welcomed in God's family.

She's no longer in agony, 

but enjoys the peace for eternity.

She's no longer in torment, 

but is happy in God's dwelling place.

She's no longer disabled, 

but healed from head to toe.

She's no longer stressed, 

she lives in perfect harmony.

She's no longer lonely, 

but in the presence of God.

She's no longer in pain,

since God called her home.

EVERYBODY

 


I am nobody who wants to be somebody

to help anybody so everybody will join

to help the next nobody.

Then nobody joins somebody who invites

anybody and they all become everybody

to work together and help nobody.

In the end there is always somebody

who is friends with anybody and they

belong to a group called everybody.

And nobody is never excluded.

Journey to Remember

 


We started on a journey, directed by God himself.

Who took us on a path, we couldn't do ourselves.

It brought us joy and abundance of love.

Together with lots of care, thanks to God above.

We continued our journey with some bumpy roads.

Still guided by God that led us to a crossroad.

Unfortunately pain and agony came along our ride.

God was not a spectator, he still did provide.

Our journey continued with moments hard to explain.

With more afflictions, but God's presence still remain.

He never left us, though sometimes we felt alone.

He was still present, we were not on our own.

Our journey was not forever, it had an end.

But thanks to God, we were best friends.

I still think of her, she's etched in my heart.

Those memories I hold, it will never part.

DEAR CJ

 


We had something special, 

that even the angels knew.

They always looked down, 

and saw me with you.

Praying together was great, 

and give thanks to God too.

Every time I came home, 

I couldn't wait to see you.

You set up my own bed, 

and made me feel at home.

You always welcomed me, 

when I saw you in your room.

Six years doesn't seem long, 

but the memories sure do.

All the laughter's and the chats, 

and cooking we did too.

Bless your heart you said, 

and even I love you dear.

Those words are special, 

they're music to my ears.

Despite all the pain, 

you had to go through.

You found a way, 

to always help me too.

With God as my witness, 

I promise to do.

I will help someone else, 

in honor of you.

And someday soon, 

I will see you again.

When heaven gates open, 

and God invites me in.

IT'S ABOUT TIME

 


I rounded them up, hatred, greedy,

jealously, revenge and fear.

Bring also prejudice, resentment,

selfish, malice and bitterness here.

SHOW THEM ALL THE DOOR!

I don't need them anymore.


              CHOOSE ONLY ONE!
              DISCARD THE REST.


I CLEANED OUT MY HEAD.
SO MUCH GARBAGE I HAD.
THAT WAS A LOAD I GOT RID OF.
I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER!
IT'S EASY TO SMILE.

DOWN MEMORY LANE

 


I call out her name, 

when I walk inside the door.

I never hear her voice, 

she's not there it anymore.

I take another walk, 

down memory lane.

She may be gone, 

but those times remain.

All the joys and laughter 

and sometimes tears.

We had the best times, 

for all those years.

Every moment we shared, 

it's memories we made.

I still recall those times, 

they will never fade.

I have all the photos, 

it's still in a frame.

I look at each one, 

but it's not the same.

They are my keepsake, 

I think about her every day.

It's hard to move on, 

when I still miss her today.

MY DEAR FRIEND

 


I heard her voice yesterday on a recording again.

The sweet voice that came from my dear friend.

I stare at her photo and wonder why did it end?

I could only imagine what might have been.

My tears are words my heart can't express.

She was tormented and suffered in duress.

A sweet caring person with a big heart.

She had a pain that tore her apart.

I'm filled with anguish that I can't rid of.

My life is shattered I lost the one I loved.

My dear friend is gone after all those years.

I'm left with a photo and a pool of tears.

SERVE THE LORD

 


What am I going to do, 
where do I go?
When will you answer me,
 I want to know.
I want to do your will,
 and do it your way.
I'm waiting patiently,
 and hope it's today.
I don't want to be a spectator,
 not even a doormat.
I'm looking for a purpose,
 and not only that.
I want to serve you,
 and help others too.
Obey your commands,
 and live my life for you.
I deny myself,
 and take up the cross.
Whatever I gained,
I now consider loss.
I'll give you my best, 
in everything I do.
I promise to be faithful,
 and always honor you.

BALLAD OF CJ JOYNER

 


She's a sweet, charming lady,

with a big heart inside.

She's always looking pretty,

and she's a friend of mine.

You can see it in her smile,

and the words she would say.

You will know it by her kindness,

that she shows every day.

You can feel it in your heart,

in the joy she would bring.

She welcomes me in her home,

my heart wants to sing.

You can see she really cares,

in everything she would do.

She always took the time,

to help me get through.

You can see she is friendly,

ready to help me again.

The message is quite clear,

that she is my friend.

WOULD YOU CALL

 


If I promised you, I wouldn't scare you

with my looks, would you call?

If I said, I was bald and skinny

and not really tall.

If I told you, I was poor but

was friendly and kind, would you call?

If I promised you I will help you

anytime at all.

If I said, I was shy and didn't

drink or smoke, would you call?

If I told you I would take you

to a shopping mall.

If I said I was a Christian and I wouldn't

go to a bar, would you call?

If I promised you, I would treat you nice

and not swear at all.

If you said yes to any of the above,

all you have to do is call.

BROKEN DREAMS

I've reached rock bottom and not only that.
I have no friends, I'm just a doormat.
I see the evil get the upper hand.
I saw the suffering, I didn't understand.
I dream we help out and love everyone.
My dream is shattered, what can be done?
I reach out to seek another friend.
When no one comes, life seems to end.
I'm hanging on to the end of my rope.
I cry out to Jesus who is my hope.
I call out to my savior in this plea.
I need you, Jesus. Please help me.

Ode To CJ

 


There was a single knock,

 on my door.

It was a sweet lady, 

I've been praying for.

We both needed someone, 

only God can do.

God answered our prayers, 

he blessed us too.

You seldom find, 

a friend like mine.

She was always helpful, 

friendly and kind.

A warm embrace 

and food she shared.

It's moments like this, 

she showed she cared.

A forgiving heart, 

a thoughtful deed.

It truly describes, 

my friend indeed.

The words we said, 

we meant it too.

Like bless your heart,

 and I love you.

Great memories were made.

Even when we prayed.

In a moment like this.

I surely do miss.

My dear best friend.

I'll see her again.

NOW AND THEN

 


We take the time, 

to reflect on the past.

We cherish the moments,

 and wish it would last.

Those times we shared, 

in our work and play.

The memories we have, 

throughout each day.

From dawn to sunset, 

it was so much fun.

The joy of success, 

in the work we've done.

We look forward, 

to the new challenges we take.

And all the big plans, 

we want to make.

We reach for our dreams,

 and seek a new friend.

And take on obstacles, 

whatever life may send.

With a new set of goals, 

it's time to proceed.

We give our best,

 and know we'll succeed.
