Mixed Up
I am so mixed up, all alone
Work is all I do and I want so much more
You were my life but now are gone.
It's not fair how I want to love
Jesus is my Savior, mine forever
He is worthy, always near and above.
But now as I lay here in my bed
I only know one thing and that is pain
I used to feel sexy, loved and now I dread.
I say to my Lord "why am I here?"
Everyone has left me, I have no hand to hold
I have noone to call me honey, baby or dear.
I need many a prayer
I know Jesus has the wheel...
Work is all I do and I want so much more
You were my life but now are gone.
It's not fair how I want to love

I only know one thing and that is pain
I used to feel sexy, loved and now I dread.
I say to my Lord "why am I here?"

I have noone to call me honey, baby or dear.

Moving on From the Same Man
She wore black as she read his text and
envisioned him in tight blue jeans
They say opposites attract but do they
really?
His goodbye was not making any sense
and her mind was not comprehending
the words or their meanings.
God, her heart was beating fast. His
memory and smell, had been oh so
good.
Months had gone by without a word or
sound of his voice
Now this text saying he had moved on
with another made him less handsome
to her if you would.
He had stood with dominance...

You Were The Last
You were the last man to kiss my mouth
Or touch my face
You cradled my head as I touched you
I lay here remembering how we were
I miss your voice, soft as lace
Your hands were strong as we played
You had arms of steel
Now they will explore another
My heart will have to deal
I will never be second best to anyone
I was made to love and be loved
Your choices haunt me as I go on.
Or touch my face
You cradled my head as I touched you
I lay here remembering how we were
I miss your voice, soft as lace
Your hands were strong as we played

Now they will explore another
My heart will have to deal
I will never be second best to anyone
I was made to love and be loved
Your choices haunt me as I go on.

All the Years and All the Kisses
The tree swayed as the wind blew
Seasons flew by
It was at that tree, they had stood
Where she had said "I love you."
Time had come and gone
So many things done and said
She had never been able to let go
Until today, her heart sang that goodbye
song.
She had held on to each memory
Never wanted to say, see you later or so long
Respect and trust, she held him high
But tonight, he was like a bird set free.
The Lord had shown her that no man
Was higher or better than Him
His kingdom...

Hallelujah to A Brand New Year!
I look out the window and what do I see?
A cold and wetness that falls on the earth
Time has gone by, creating a change in me.
A change that was long ago ordained
For me to seek his face and continue to run
To be steadfast, I have remained.
Sadness and disease, goes on and on
Empathy present in an everyday eye
Still God has changed me day by day, one on one.
Thankful for His mercy and his love
Trying to be kind and not to judge
Still watching the coldness falling from above.

Temptress
As I walked toward the dock
I can see my love resting on the deep, blue waters
Waiting...
Unmoved by any clock.
Beautiful as she lay
I can not imagine her suitors
For her beauty alone are they attracted
But time will tell and the price, they'll pay
She can not help but flaunt
Her lovely motor and gorgeous body
Her adventurous nature and worldly airs
All of these she does haunt.
She whom I have named
Temptress she be called
For in every way she is
A creation of man who is to be blamed.
And as I walk away
I...
I can see my love resting on the deep, blue waters
Waiting...
Unmoved by any clock.
Beautiful as she lay
I can not imagine her suitors
For her beauty alone are they attracted
But time will tell and the price, they'll pay

And as I walk away

When
Mirror, mirror if only it could talk
The long haired woman thought as she sat
One year today he went to be with the Lord
One year today he began his walk.
The woman began to cry as she longed for his voice
She knew he was with Jesus
Each memory of him replayed in her head
Every moment, every choice.
One hour is but a thousand years
The woman reflected as she looked at her watch
Her grey hair needed to be cut as she looked in the mirror
The wrinkles around her eyes and the tears.
Five years had gone so fast ...

Eyes Blind
I have never seen his face
Or heard the sound of his voice
The fantasy of meeting him
Is definitely one I would race.
The urgency to not be alone
To be held, to belong
To whisper to him in the dark
To kiss him, to hear him moan.
This fantasy to get past the grief
To love and to be loved
To fight for a partnership
My heart beats to this belief.
He is so far away but yet so very close
The moments spent waiting for his response
Keep this fantasy from ending
Makes goosebumps with each word, each...

A Road Having No Direction
Where was I when the world began to cry?
The sky turned dark and you were not here
To hunger for a love that is gone
And not know that you were about to die.
It was not my choice for you to go
Everyone must die, but only once
We can't go to Heaven on good works
But just believe in Jesus, repent of our sins, be baptized wouldn't you know?
Eternity is forever
My life without you is like a road having no direction
My only peace comes from knowing that Jesus has you
For your fight was won and now no more...
The sky turned dark and you were not here
To hunger for a love that is gone
And not know that you were about to die.
It was not my choice for you to go
Everyone must die, but only once
We can't go to Heaven on good works
But just believe in Jesus, repent of our sins, be baptized wouldn't you know?
Eternity is forever
My life without you is like a road having no direction
My only peace comes from knowing that Jesus has you
For your fight was won and now no more...

Love Abundantly
He laughs as I cry
His voice taunts me
His actions hurt me and cut me down
Where is my Lord when I am young?
I know He is with me and I do believe
Why is there so much cruelty?
Why do I feel so unloved?
He belittles me, calling me names
I cry because I am stronger and better
He wasn't looking while I laid praying
My Lord saw all that was happening
Now I am old and ran the good race
His taunting can no longer hurt me
God has given me strength; I can laugh in his face
He is no longer laughing or taunting ...
His voice taunts me
His actions hurt me and cut me down
Where is my Lord when I am young?
I know He is with me and I do believe
Why is there so much cruelty?
Why do I feel so unloved?
He belittles me, calling me names
I cry because I am stronger and better
He wasn't looking while I laid praying
My Lord saw all that was happening
Now I am old and ran the good race
His taunting can no longer hurt me
God has given me strength; I can laugh in his face
He is no longer laughing or taunting ...

Cuddle With Me
Cuddle with me please
All night long if you dare
Life is too short not to have
The love between two people
Which was given so long ago
To crave that closeness
Cuddle with me please
I need your warmth
I need to lay close
I want to show you how much I care.
All night long if you dare
Life is too short not to have
The love between two people
Which was given so long ago
To crave that closeness
Cuddle with me please
I need your warmth
I need to lay close
I want to show you how much I care.

His Touch
His touch on my skin
His kiss ladened with his love
Always mine, for me.
His kiss ladened with his love
Always mine, for me.
