Life use to be simple. Emotions clear. Friends were friends, nothing to fear. The kiss of a friend, the shake of a hand. They were all signs of a friend, an honest man. But now I look in your face and wonder what you hide. Wonder what you really think, when you confide. Now I no longer trust...

There once was a battlefield where all was silent. From foxholes and ditches rose the heads of men defiant. The weathered general looked around, looked hard, looked long. Said to his men, There’s nothing wrong except there’s nothing wrong. Not long after, they found themselves pinned down...

There once was a question: a question which was to us posed: Who shall separate us from the love of God? Whom do you suppose? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are...

Before the storms hit, before the doubts assail; A tiny boy in the world who on his own will fail. Unaware of what will come and has been, Reaching up to hold on Daddy’s big hand. Childhood trust, before one becomes a man, And finds things aren’t always what they seem. All alone, a frightened...

“You remember this girl, don’t you? Cause she remembers you, and she’s pregnant too.” The words split through my ears, Giving way to plunging fears. “They know who the father is, A boy named you is who it is.” I felt my head start to whirl, How could it be? Couldn’t remember anything, ‘tween her...

The last competitor had been called up. The people in the stadium were silent as the eight athletes got into their lanes, waiting for the race to begin. In lane three, a fifteen-year-old boy, Jim Lewis, was crouching. He could feel the blood thudding through his veins, his heart hammering away...

Come on a journey with me Travel life’s weary road will we From eagle heights to the earth below Where man doth sorrowfully go We find ourselves staring up mountains Some scared, some meek, some defiant We feel a shrinking inside As we face this mountain that doth arise Tis’ three things we can...

Twas 12 am, in the soft of the night, 12 am in the glow of a lamplight, When you whispered, “I love you more. You love me, but i love you more.” I still remember feeling my heart melt. Still remember the warmth i felt. That someone loved me despite my mistakes. That someone was messaging me, to...

There’s a pretty girl Somewhere in this world Whose smile shines bright Even when all’s night Even when I’m feeling down Hers is a smile that turns me round Shiny blue eyes drag you in But her smile is what really wins Her loose blonde hair looks fine But her smile wins every time If there ever...

All encompasses around All is nothing left to be found All is everything All defines a real king All is every little bit All is top of the summit All requires body and mind All leaves nothing behind All circles entirely about All's meaning has no doubt All will bring you pain All will make you...

A dark brooding shadow Soldier standing alone His head bowed in agony Soldier standing forlorn His creaking ship landed Only one month ago Now all his mates dead Are buried on the knoll His khaki clothes flutter Flutter in a sea breeze By day they bake By night they freeze His slouched...

Parched and barren, A dry and thirsty land Filled with the haze of death The forgotten bones of man The tongue swells in the mouth The sweat pours out his brow Weary traveller falling down Weary traveller dying now The white bleached bones The bones of those before Lie about him spinning...

Damned if i do damned if i dont Damned if i will Damned if i wont One thinks im a genius And should start a study Another that i run Dont settle down in a hurry One reckons i'm a debater Another thinks a preacher Some say a scientist Yet others a lecturer They pull me this way And they pull me...

Lord jesus, today is a busy day Please have your hand direct my way Cause so many things can go wrong And i am definitely not strong For today a car might pull out Send me and my bike on flyabout Or the sadie's hose at work slip And give me a 180° degree dip Or maybe i'll suddenly fall down And...

Today's my birthday Thought you'd be here to stay Thought i'd see your eyes gleam As we run through meadows green Feel the warmth of your hand As we walk over the sand Thought i'd have you next to me Wild and free, a sight to see. Share our dreams and our life The happiness and the strife But...

They all be below None that be above He's the father of eternity the champion of love None will ever compare To his glory and majesty None can ever match All the glory he swept aside To die for the best Right down to the lowest Almighty god in the flesh Searching for those lost That one like...

“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but word may never hurt me.” Said a wise man in a faraway land so many years ago. So tell me why my heart feels so torn apart if all she did was speak, I think we should see someone new; the problems are with you (I forget about mine) Shoot some flags...

To the wild sky Lift thy tortured hands Oh thou puny insignificant man Let thy voice ring, in triumph defy The scorching sun of the wild sky The raging wind cant hold u down The warrior spark in thee is found Rain, sleet and snow may fall But thou wilt fight on through all Though thy muscles...
