I intended good You saw evil You intended humour I saw hurt I chatter when I’m nervous You call me aggressive I’m hurt by your actions Only joking, you said Where do I stand Up is down and black is white We speak a different language You and I I am tired of…
Hope reborn
In a field ploughed with scars I sowed my hopes and dreams Watered with fear Fed with pain I waited. This field is barren, they said Nothing will grow here Your crop is dust Your dreams are dust Your hope is dead In the waxing of a new spring A single green shoot…
Hero
Living in the darkness Loving behind the walls of your eyes An object of scorn from those who could not see Unable to show how much you care You knew only one way You suffered for them You died for them You killed for them You put yourself last You have accepted their scorn Accepted…
What He does for us
There is so much our father does for us And sometimes the most special Are the little things The things you didn’t expect And barely dared to hope for You didn’t get rained on The bus came on time You got the job, made a living, met the One You were in trouble and He…

Repetitive History
Self-defeating Self-repeating Endless loop of error Pointing, blaming Soul defaming Living life in terror Misconstruing Always doing Everything all wrong Isolating Sneering, hating Why can’t I belong?
