She left me

Woke up one morning she left me that cold cruel day 
Said she was going to Nashville to have a Hayday 

My heart ached for months on end
Thinking pieces would never mend

Than a smile came strolling my way
I've never been happier I must say

She was the glue that bonded my heart together
Our hearts intertwined overcoming the stormy weather

Then one day snuggled up on the couch to watch TV 
My eyes teared my old flame was on the Grand Ole Opry

My heart fluttered for one quick second 
Then the thought came to me
I would not be happy today if she hadn't left on that cold cruel day

Prayer and Politics

Prayer, not politics I heard the Speaker of the House say
It’s been too long coming waiting day after day

All the mass confusion and turmoil will this lessen or go away
If we fervently turn toward God and earnestly begin to Pray

There is only one way to discover if it will make our sadness leave
Putting  into practice what we preach and pray we will less grieve

Pray for Godly men and women desiring to serve our country for you and me
Through such Godly men and women, Our Country will surely remain Free

Is this my Hometown

Is this my Hometown
18 Dead 13 injured

Is this my Hometown? Where darkness and evil lurk around

Once a very calm and safe place for you and me
Now, turning into a grief-stricken bloody sea

The devil is on the prowl, knowing time is short
Fighting evil with Good gives much support

The only fear we have to fear is fear itself
Arming myself with Love from the Master Himself

Calmness and peace will protect my divine soul
Where there is the light of Love, evil can not take control

I was put here for a reason

I was put here for a reason 

My life is but a reason only known to God
Reveling more and more every day, I trod

My life is but a mystery for only God, and I to see
Walking with Him makes the answer clearer to me

Thank you, God, for Your Creation and including me
Spreading The Good News of Jesus for others to see

I have found my reason, Thank You for Setting Me Free

Best and Worst

The very best and worst of humankind  
seem to collide at the identical time. 

Where there is a horrible affliction
Good rushes in to bring protection

When grief overtakes us, and we begin to cry
Friends walk with us, wiping tears from our eye 

As we slowly move along the timeline of our life
Looking back, seeing the meaning of our strife

All the threads in God's ultimate plan
Sewn together, completing every man

Ultimately, our very best is stitched by our very worst
Completing our character that our souls may not thirst

The Break Up

Did you ever have a romantic friend where you thought the romance would never end

I think we all can recall such a time and place 
Only getting through the separation by God's Grace

Memories linger from time long ago
Tears and heartache make us grow

Only as the sands of time pass by
Do we see the reasoning behind why

I often look back only the fond memories to recall
This nostalgia brings love and encouragement to us all
