With The Morning Sun
With the morning sun …
With the morning sun http://youtu.be/Bj1AesMfIf8
Brings with it
A new eye
New hope
Renewed faith
I can smile once again
Put yesterday’s
Fears aside
Reach out
To someone
Say hello
To the ones I see
With the morning sun
I can say
Thank-you
For one more chance.

Whispers in the morning
Dew upon the ground
Leaves standing still
No one around
Hush little baby
Don’t say a word
Sister’s walking softly
Not even a tweet from a bird
As long as you are sleeping
Your pain is resting too
These are the moments I treasure
When you are back to you
And when you wake up brother
I’ll try to do my best
To make your day go quickly
Hush little baby
Don’t say a word
Sister’s got it covered
Only silence will be heard.

What we think we know
We may not
What we plan for tomorrow
May not come true
We may breathe this moment
And be gone in a blink’s eye
What we may put off today
May not come tomorrow
Live life to the fullest
Do it today
Smile and breathe deeply
Notice the tiny things
Be thankful and give thanks
Live like
This is your last moment.

The Secret’s Out
I brought in
Your favorite meal
In hopes that it would
Make telling you easier
For me. I smiled
Whe…
I brought in
Your favorite meal
In hopes that it would
Make telling you easier
For me. I smiled
When I saw you
But you never
Smiled back
As the pain was
Overpowering your
Will to live
I choked and
I swallowed hard
And after we ate
I told you the
News that it was
Going to be yet
Another month.
Your shoulders dropped
And your tears did fall
My own heart
Fell and shattered
On the floor
I held your hand
And professed
That I care
That the day
The second that
I could take your arms
And help you into
The car I would do
It. We both shed tears
Although I promised
I would not but when
Yours fell so did mine
Baby brother I promise
You it hurt me more
To tell you of this delay
You wanted me to stay
But your spirits had dropped
I sat you in your chair
And watched you drift
Off to sleep then
I tiptoed out
Whispering
I love you Bud
I truly do.

A misty fog hovers
Inside my head
Squeezing out
All the feelings
That I have the
Ability to feel
Some say I
Am so strong
But there are times
When I doubt this
Sometimes what we
Know is good for us
Hurts worse than
When we can hide
Between the fog
And dismiss it
For only one more day
The heart feels
The eyes can see
That life moves
Forward when our
Hands reach out
To stop it
Laughter hidden
Tears can be seen
As the mind soaks
In new words
Taking too long
To digest it seems
It is one stage
At a time that
I must enter
Until it becomes
Perfectly clear
That life must
Not remain the same
That new doors
Will be opened
And others shut
Softly behind
Leaving all pain
To whither a way
Into dust being
Swept up in the
Midst of the fog
Until I can have
Time to understand………

Does the mind have a way of protecting itself
Can we place our hurt on hold
Can we freeze words we have heard
So our hearts don’t feel so cold?
Can we close our ears to the world
Can we shut our eyes from the pain
Can we pretend we feel nothing
Can we say we want nothing to gain?
Can I ask for no news for one day
Can blinders be placed around the heart
Can I pretend that it is yesterday
When nothing tore us apart?
I want to live this one day
Back when we were innocent and young
When playing with a doll or a truck
And Jesus Loves Me Was Sung.
