Loss

Losing someone you love is hard enough
losing them to death is worse than that.
But sometimes we stop
sometimes we realise
they aren't dead
they are more alive than we are.
and as hard as it may be to accept
sometimes we need to see that
it's not over,
it's just beginning for them.
one day we to will get that chance
a second start
a new life.
it hurts to lose someone close to you
but always remember
that they aren't dead
they just at the start of eternity
where one day we will join
a happy group of people raised to life,
we will be able to be amongst one another again.

Another life taken
another one gone
taken young
taken fast.
so hear my call
and listen close
dont neglect those alive
those around you
those who touch your life.
Don't choose to have to live with regret of something left unsaid.
Now is the time and now is the place.
Let those around you
know what they mean
know what they are to you.
Day by day teenagers, adults, elders,
they lose their friends,
their family,
those they love.
Don't pretend you don't care,
don't break hearts and leave emotions in shreds.
Tell them how much they mean,
how they touched your life
because you might not see it happening
or want to believe it could
but you never know who is next....
so please please don't leave things unsaid.

The World Needs a Wakeup

Dear World

Here's a few lines i think you should consider:

• -When did the words "i love you" start meaning nothing
• -When did 13 year olds dressing and acting like 20 year olds become acceptable
• -When did we leave behind morals and values
• -When did money surpass loyalty
• -When did trust become over rated
• -When did we start teaching children that its ok to lash out cause you hurt
• -When did we start telling children crying is for babies
• -When did we learn to break down others self worth
• -When did we throw out our beliefs for what our friends think
• -When did we stop caring about each other
• -When did we stop thinking of the person next to us as human
• -When did we shut our emotions down just in case we get hurt
• -When did we decide that its not ok to hurt
• -When did we stop loving ourselves
• -When did we start caring more about others opinions of us than the truth
• -When did learn that revenge is right
• -When did we start these silly games with people's hearts
• -When did we decide a life partner is like a handbag easily changable

and mostly

• -When did we start assuming God is wrong

And Now...

Who would've thought it would hurt like this
hurt less than expected
who could've imagined that right now i wouldn't care
that my heart could know
you lost me
i didn't lose you.
I'll love again
and one day
one day you might regret your choice
we'll always be friends
even after this.
You'll always have a special place in my heart
but that place isn't my whole heart.
i love you like i love all my friends.
You're no different to them now.
You're just like the rest
a good friend.

Hello this is your heart speaking

Will you please listen
im breaking in two
im hating him
but im loving him to.
im begging you to stop
to give up the joy and with it the pain.
im begging you not to do this to me again,
Im begging you to leave him behind,
to live on hope
and trust that you'll find one who'll make it right,
who'll be sincere in all he says and does in relation to you
and who i can be given over to
knowing i won't come back
shattered and torn
but that i'll be sheltered and valued,
so will you please listen
this is your heart saying
i love him more than i can possibly say,
but sometimes a thousand pieces can't keep hope alive
and a million pieces struggle to love anyway.

Our Debt

So here i am once again Father
and i call on Your name.
Father i stand here known as one of Your own.
i stand here a christian by name
by Your Son
and by faith.
i stand here and i look to You
for only You can rescue me.
By my own actions i deserve a firey pit
by Your grace i am given Heaven.
By my own sin i deserve hell, an everlasting death
by Your grace i am given paradise.
By my thoughts, my unclean heart, my very flesh
i deserve nothing You give so freely
but by Your innocent Son's blood
You give it anyway.
and perhaps this makes no sense to our mere human minds
but somewhere in the midst of the choas of trying to figure it out
we find hope and faith
but mostly we find Your love and grace.
So maybe its time we stopped trying to figure this out
acknowledged our inequities
repented of our sins, the bad we've done and the good we left undone,
and maybe its time we just accepted Your Son
without trying to figure out how we can free ourselves of that debt
cause maybe in this life
there is only one debt we could never repay
