You made your choice
I had no voice
You were in control
Of my very soul
The decision was on you

Never given a chance to birth
Never knowing what life was worth
You took it away
Never a look never a glance
You took that chance
And walked away

Tell me about my childhood:
Did I ride a bike?
Did I watch cartoons?
Did I go to school?
Did I like baseball?
Did you attend to my care
when I would fall?

Tell me about my teens:
Did I have a girlfriend?
Did I do well in school?
Did I have plans for the future?
Did I have many friends?
Did I have a car?

Tell me about my adulthood:
Did I graduate college?
Did I have a successful job?
Did I meet the girl of my dreams
And get married?
Did you have any grandchildren
Of mine?

It’s ok mommy
You did what you thought
Was right at the time
I forgive you
May be again it may be
That you will hug me
And you will set yourself free

Forget to call
I can’t stay awake
Till the morning break
I’m not to blame
If I forget your name
I stop and stare
Going no where
I forget to trump
I cry for no reason
Any time in season
It’s not my creation
If I exhibit frustration
Walk very slow
With nowhere to go
Excuse my anger
I can’t control
No longer active
Always distracted
I have no more trials or temptations
The din of the world has lifted
No need for memories
Locked deep in my soul
Born to die
Born to rise
To meet my salvation in the sky

But He is the strength of my heart and
My portion forever” PS 73-26

Travel the road
To the sign that says STOP
Consider your life
And all of the strife

Travel the road
To the sign that says U Turn
Make your choice
Listen to your inner voice

Travel the road
Follow the ONE-WAY sign
Continue on your way
Do not delay

Travel the road
To the sign that says YIELD
Your heart will mend
Your journey will end

Do not yield to temptation
No bend in the road
Follow his promises
Or you’ll reach a DEAD END

Let your mind unwind
Let it spin
Awaken does dark emotions
That lie within
Those that never come to light
The ones you cannot explain
A deep sense of allusion
Creeping into your dreams
There is no conclusion
Just confusion
Dreams that turn into nightmares
Those demons inside
Dare to come to light
In the darkness of the night
Never aware when they appear
Shaking the night
Deep thoughts
Deep fears
Deep visions
Disguise themselves as nightmares
You find yourself locked in
Paralyzed
Falling
A fearful journey
As it unfolds
Suspended
Who is goin’ end it?
At last
A knock on the door
A smudge on the forehead
The resurrection of the dead
The reawakening of the saints
Arouses reality
What does it mean anyhow
If nightmares come true?
What does it mean for me and you?

Where there is a danger of the them coming true”

“I saw a dream that made me afraid
As I lie in bed the fantasies and the visions
Alarmed me. Daniel 4:5
“You scare me with your dreams
And terrify me with your visions” Job 7:14

When I pick up my pen’
It’s yesterday again
It’s yesterday for sure
The days that are no more

Though they never returned
There’s one thing I’ve learned
They never depart
When locked in the heart

The days of youth
And foolish things
The days cut short
What age brings

Age follows youth
Sage follows age
A bitter-sweet life
Every time you turn a page

Who knows when or where
Bitter meets sweet?
What causes them to meet?
Why has one forsaken one
And not the other?
Yet
Is not life a dash(-)
Between the day you’re born (-)
And the day you die?
You cannot extend your life
No matter how hard you try

I care to keep
The unhappy days
I choose to sleep.”
