Love is only a race…

Love is only a race…

I’ve walked a few miles gave my all

I ran the best race I could

There where hours when I wanted to stop

I promised myself not to give up

Promised myself to give it my all

Like every race there will always be someone to compete with

Always got to prove you might be better

I never wanted to compete to win a place in your heart

I was supposed to have been there right from the start

But in the end I think I understand

This was not a race that was planned

But we both had a stand

This is the hardest part to say goodbye

Now I have to turn a blind eye

And watch you walk away

I’m spreading my wings

It’s time for me to fly

Over the ocean

Away from it all that keeps on leaving scars

Love is only a race

Always compete to win first price

A Window to my soul...*

A Window to my soul…*

I wish I could have lay my heart down on a drawing table for you
I would have used needles and pins to hold it down,
Just this once ...
  I will not let it fold back and close up
With pictures and lines I would explain how big your part in my life is
Every day I pray and ask
Lord, save the love we share
When I pray, I believe, God will hear my prayers
In my heart I compose a love song

The most beautiful melody that I know
I have a heart over flowing with love
Will it be enough for you my love ...
It may have a few cracks, bumps and bruises
I even once tried to lock my heart away,
I vowed, never again will my treasures be revealed,
Every time It was crushed and thrown away
There was no success to the act, my heart refused that I made a murder pit of its power

I know now every heart has its grief
Forgive me for not being flawless

However I promise to love you every day with all I am
I may not always pass every test
I am only human ...
However Patience, I have plenty 
Promise not to turn my back and walk away, unless you open the door and request

If you want to know what is in my heart

 Look through the windows of my soul

There you will find who is in control

Two season's one page...*

What do you do when you get thrown to the wolves?

What do you do when your world turns blue?

When love gets the best of you

How do you do?

Like seasons of the year it all changed every three months

For some people it was sooner and other much later

You count every season and pray for summer to come

So that this winter can end

So go ahead and pretend

The summer is here when all you really feel is the cold

Your heart starts to feel like a fake piece of gold

You start to build your walls prepare yourself for the war

You know it is soon to come

Praying for a little sun

Just for a little hope at the end

Praying, Talking, asking, begging please stop!

Still it’s raining in paradise

It’s time to throw the dice

And so it ends with a fight

Call up all friends we are going out tonight

It was fun while it lasted

However at the end both walked away with scars

Scars that makes one stronger…

Few years later two seasons one page

All it took was a little bit of faith…*

Letter from my King…*

I have created you for my glory

Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by name; you are mine!

You were made in my image.

I chose you when I planned creation.

You were not a mistake, 
for all your days are written in my book.

Simply because you are my child 
and I am your Father.

I offer you more than your earthly father ever could.

I love you with an everlasting love.

I am also the Father who comforts you 
in all your troubles.

When you are broken-hearted, 
I am close to you.

One day I will wipe away 
every tear from your eyes

And I'll take away all the pain 
you have suffered on this earth.

And nothing will ever separate you 
from my love.

I am able to do more for you 
than you could possibly imagine.

I Love you my child

With all my Love your

                        DAD

Journey of Life...*

Journey of life

You don’t get to choose your path

It has already been laid out for you

You see a road and you know it is the one to follow

Along your path, you get obstacles

Witch you must over come first before you can carry on

Some get stuck, and can’t move forward

Some are afraid of taking the risk to head forward

It can make you or break you

However, the choice is up to you…

What shall it be?

Which turn will you take when your road comes to a split?

Do you flip a coin and hope it’s the right way

Or do you know the next turn you’re taking a sharp left?

Life’s a journey…

Life is like a rollercoaster

Just enjoy the ride

You make your goals…achieve them

You create your own dreams… Follow them 

Your life is a beautiful journey…

Are you ready for the ride of your life?

Teardrops of an Angel…*

Teardrops of an Angel…*

I catch a teardrop in my hand

I look up at the sky

Heaven is crying tonight

Do you remember what you write?

In that letter that night

It was about a year ago

You explained the way you look at the stars

You said it made you forget about your scars

You told me the story of the Angel,

Who made a promise to always protect,

And watch over the one she loves

And when the Angel cried

Heaven opens up the sky

And make us hear her tears fall to the ground

How she longs to be with him

However, both of them are living in different life’s of time

The one she loves must be crying too

To know she is up there

Watching over him just like she has promised

And he can’t even stop her tears

That keeps on falling to the ground

I catch a teardrop in my hand

It is only in the time of sand

Lullaby...*

Lullaby

Hush baby

Don’t you cry

Soon the pain will stop

And your tears will dry

The heaven is soaking up the tears

And heard you cry

Now its time to say good-bye

Let it pour down

And wash it all away

Like the wings of a bird

Chase it and watch it fly away

Therefore, this is for you my Lullaby

Hush baby

Don’t you cry soon

All your tears will dry

All you have to do is try

Give your heart at least one least one more try

And watch the clouds clear up the sky

You’re no longer the bad guy

Therefore, this is to you my Lullaby

Hush baby

Don’t you cry

Spread your wings and fly

Up into the blue sky

You changed into a beautiful Dragonfly

For you a Lullaby

When a Stranger Smiles...*

You woke up this morning

Put on your face

Do you know the place?

Or do you need some space?

Look in the mirror

What do you see?

The four walls closing in, nothing there for me

You keep asking yourself who am I

Time to say good-bye,

 Take out the perfect smile

Keep reminding yourself it is only for a while

You got lost…

Guess what you have to wear it for another mile

You heard the voice whisper inside your mind

Across the road, you see a stranger

With a smile that can light up the whole town

As you walking closer

Holding out his hand

He is blind

However the smile on his face

Bright up the whole place

You feel suffocated in your own space

Wondering how it would feel to stand in his place

And still have a smile on your face…*

A Kiss from an Angel...*

I have searched high and low

Every where I go

I just couldn’t find that one perfect kiss to sent to you

Across the mountains high and low

Near the sea

Nothing there for me

Just before I felt like there are no such thing as a perfect kiss

An Angel voice

Whisper to me…

Through the air

Gave me a challenge if I dare

Take a hand full of sand and blow it in the wind

In the sand that remains in your hand an answer, you will find…

…… A kiss that is sent from heaven, A kiss from up above

A kiss that is very special… from someone that you Love

A Kiss from an Angel

A kiss from your heart

A kiss that can be felt even when you are miles apart…*
