NIGHT FALLS ON THE CITY

Walking along the road pretty sure
it was light
How quickly the sun set bringing on
the night
I must have been in daydream for
the time to go so fast
Yes, I remember now I was thinking
of the past
Yikes! its quite dark and I'm walking
all alone
I'm a little frightened of the creatures
that at night do roam
I wrap my cloak around me gathering
it ever so tight
Praying for God to keep me safe from
evils plight
Taverns are all open drunken brawls
are heard
I take it all in not uttering a single word
Teenagers are gaining entry into clubs
that seem quite dodgy
Alcohol and drugs are on the increase
passed on by everybody
Parading along the sidewalks are ladies
of the night
Sensual desires on display not hidden
from our sight
The girls are young yet trying hard to
look so old
My heart broke for the homeless seeking
refuge from the cold
Safe beside my bed I pray for all that I
have seen
By my side God walked with me going
where I had been
As the sun sets Night Falls On The City
Birthing life to another world that
questions my reality
Weary of the days gripes I had merely
forgotten
The night comes alive, often hiding all
things vile and rotten...

A LOSS

We have been appointed at the time of birth
To unite with our soul mates here on this earth
To live every waking hour with each other
knowing that we will always be together...

Then suddenly our loved one passes away
Leaving us completely clueless on any given day
We get told that time will heal the pain
Give it time - it get's said again and again...

But its time to pass - we have to wait for
There's no escaping that moment - no magical door
There's no place on this earth we can hide
Just the here and now - and the war raging on the inside...

This is it we feel - what was it all for
Do we have to go on - can we take anymore
So easy for everyone else to say
But it was our loved one that was taken away...

We know in our hearts there will never be regret
Cos the one we hold so dear - we will never forget
Although it feels the pain will never cease
It is only God that can give us - that inner peace...

NEW BEGINNINGS

Why do you question your worth
Is it not God that has placed you on this
earth
You are not a mere victim of circumstance
But designed with the deepest measure of
substance...

Do you not know how unique you are

Your worth is more than the brightest
shining star
Why do you feel as though you are on
your own
Do you forget that you will never be alone...

God has been there through every tribulation
Through every heart wrenching situation
He has collected every fallen tear
He has embraced every worthless fear...

Keep Him close to your heart for you ought
to know
That God our Father has never let you go
Whether you be married or whether you
single
You truly are a unique individual

It is time - time to let go of futile
reasonings
Time to be renewed as God opens
the doors to NEW BEGINNINGS....
