Lord I was just sitting here,
its not easy to talk to anyone anymore
So I thought I'd just sit and
talk to you.
Lord this country's being torn apart,
no one prays anymore,
kids are killing kids,
drugs are running rampant and its not even safe
to go out alone anymore.
No one smiles or says hello anymore,
why
you even have to be careful what you say cause some
one may get offended in this day.
Lord they even burn the flag, ripping threads
from the stars.
The working man is overtaxed and underpaid,
why
Lord he can't even make a decent living for his kids
or buy a home today.
Lord I can't tell anymore if the good guys are
after the bad guys or the bad guys are after the good.
Yea, things sure have changed in this world today,
But Lord
I still believe in you and if no one else does
I will still pray
One Nation Under God
Isn't that what you said?
So Lord if no one else has time to
say thank you for this independence day, I will.
Thank You Lord for our
Independence Day.

Tired Of Trying
When I'm tired of trying and wanting to give up
You were there to give me hope.
When the tears and pain seem to be constant
You were there to to comfort
and hold me.
When I sold my soul
You were there to buy it back for me.
When I'm convinced there's nothing good left
in the world
You were there to give me a gentleness
I've never known.
When I built a shell around myself
You were there to penetrate that shell.
When there was no where to turn and hide
You were there to protect me.
Where ever I go Lord it seems you are there.
As long as I know in my heart that you will
always be there,
Life won't be so bad.

What is where when up is down
And life is death without a sound
The earth stands still and the stars go dark
All except for the meadowlark
But she is blind and cannot sing
And knows no joy in anything
So the stars come back and the earth to spin
And the meadowlark looks deep within
But no one knows what she will find
When sight is deaf and hearing blind
So she will leave her leafy perch
To fall still and lifeless upon the earth

The Flower's Season
The flower blooms what a pretty sight
Though it is really the plant's twilight
For the flower fades the fruit is formed
The seeds drop off and a new plant is born
It's purpose done the old plant dies
To make room for the seeds of the new plant to fly
The process repeats it goes on and on
Time after time dawn after dawn
It could be the same plant everytime that grows
So what is the point nobody knows
For the species to continue that must be the reason
So the exact same plant can grow next season

By My Side
Seems like an eternity since this morning came.
Now the days almost over and I've only myself to blame.
Those piddly little annoyances I let get to me so bad,
I could of let
God handle, and this really makes me sad.
Somehow I keep forgetting that he's right here by my side-
then he gently taps my shoulder and reminds me he's never lied.
He's always my protector and I feel sorrow
in my heart for trying to do
his work for him.
When he died so I might start .

My Lord
My Lord is in heaven - but he's right beside me too.
He gives me strength and comfort just like he said he would do.
My Lord will never fail me, I know this in my heart.
He's been with me always - right from the start.
Yes, sometimes I let him down, how bitter this is to him.
But I know if I ask forgiveness, he's within my heart again.

My Friend
My friend has suffered deep down inside,
with a pain that
many could not hide.
She's up - She's down
She's built a wall all around,
to keep anyone from getting near.
Guilt and fear are no strangers to her,
they plaque her and have
kept her for many years.
She longs deep within to be free of the pain and fear.
But cannot see that through her tears,
God above has sent her an angel
of love.
So listen close my friend for when the wind blows your
Angel is right there.

In To My Life
He came into my life when I was 17.
His hair was slightly salt and pepper.
He spoke what he thought - he never held anything back.
He helped anyone who needed help.
He loved life and lived it to the fullest.
He had a heart of gold.
He saw something in me that no one else ever did.
He saw the pain in my eyes.
He worked with me out of love.
He called me on the phone - he kept talking to me.
He never gave up on me.
He was strong but humble.
He became what I never really had, a father - a mentor.
He had 2 beautiful children, a son and a daughter.
He never treated me anything less than a daughter.
Then one day in April 1991 GOD called him home.
I was there when he took his last breathe of life.
Oh how I wish I could of seen
the Angels faces as they heard
his sweet voice singing.
He was then and is now the greatest man that I ever knew.
He was my Father-in-Law.
By: Rose(1-92)
My Dream
He came to me in a dream.
A dream so strange, but yet sweet.
I did not know who he was.
The voice familiar, but yet unknown to me.
The more I tried to reconize who he was,
the more
distant he became.
Then in an instant I knew who the stranger in my dream was.
That dream so strange - but sweet
was none other than
my sweet Jesus weeping at my feet.
I knelt beside him and said "Lord why are you crying at my
Feet."
He said "My child your pain is deep,
but yet you won't
let me set you free."
I cried "Oh Lord - no thats not true - I believe in you."
He lifted his head and said, "Do You?"
I replied "you know I do."
Then with out a word he took his hand and layed it upon
my heart and said,
"This I do for you."
He took his hand away from my heart
and I saw the Nails that
had been driven there close to my heart.
"Oh Lord, I cried, Why must you die?"
He touched my cheeks with his blood stain hands and said
"To set you free."
I awoke with a start, and at that moment,
I asked Jesus into my heart.

HEAVEN'S VERY SPECIAL CHILD
A meeting was held quite far from earth.
"It's time again for another birth",
Said the angels to the Lord above.
"This special child will need much love".
His progress may seem very slow,
Accomplishments he may not show
And he'll require extra care
From the folks he meets way down there.
He may not run or laugh or play;
His thoughts may seem quite far away.
In many ways he won't adapt,
And he'll be known a handicapped.
So lets be careful where he's sent,
We want his life to be content.
Please, Lord, find parents who
Will do a special job for you.
They will not realize right away
The leading role they're asked to play
But with this child sent from above
Comes stronger Faith and richer love
And soon they'll know the privilege given
In caring for this gift from Heaven.
Their precious charge, so meek and mild
Is Heaven's very special child.

ANGELS SENT FROM ABOVE
Angels come in all shapes,
they come
to us in all forms.
Some are sent to help.
Some are sent to teach.
Some are sent to minister.
Some are sent to protect.
You may not know you have an Angel
sent to you from above, until
God taps you on your heart and says
This is your angel I sent you
from up above and my angels name is
AngelHeart.

BELIEVING
There is a way I feel.
My belief, My faith is real.
Though bad may come my way,
there will be a better day.
Someday the sun will shine, and
Peace and Joy will be mine.
Tomorrow will be bright, and
everything will be all right.
In the midst of all I keep on
believing still.
Despair I cast from me, and look
for Victory.

For Rose My Sister My Heart
Sis there is a place I go when I feel blue.
It is in my heart,thats where I find you.
You always bring smiles to my face,
cause your special light shines all over the place.
We are given gifts one and all.
And in my heart you are 7 ft. tall.
I wasn't given any sisters by birth.
But God gave me one right here on earth.
Though we are not connected by blood.
We are surely bonded by our love.
So many times I tried to put into words how I feel
about you in my heart.
But where do I begin? How do I start?
How do you describe the wind on your face?
Or God's gentle grace?
I just know your with me night and day.
For in my heart you will stay.........
By: Debbie Pryor
SISTERS
Sister's are friends.
Sister's are love.
Sister's share in the laughter
Tears and Hugs.
Sister's gripe and Sister's fight,
BUT
Whether sister's are near or far.
Sister's never grow apart, they just
grow closer in heart.
Dedicated to my two loving daughters
Angela and Jenny.
I love you both - MOM (1999)
