There have been many times
that I’ve felt cut off
When I’ve believed the world
does merely at me scoff
When I’ve been brushed aside
run over in their haste
Because it seems they think
what I’m doing is a waste
I feel like I’m dangling
high up above the pit
And the demons down below
are yelling, “Go for it!”
As an angel is whispering
“You can’t make it alone!
God has not left you
out here on your own!”
While there on other side
my dreams I can see
Are shining like a beacon
as a temptress luring me
And there lying in between
a chasm, a great divide
While I teeter on the edge
as I’m trying to decide
“Don’t act a foolish imp!”
I hear my angel say
“For you know deep down
the answer and the Way
Don’t listen to any of
those voices down below
To fulfill all your dreams
you know where to go!”

On a night dark and gloomy
wind going right straight through me
Was my house coming up to
when a wariness inside me grew
My doors were standing open wide
what if someone was waiting inside?
I was there and all alone
began searching for my cell phone
With it ready there in hand
was ready to “beat the band”
And with that being all done
once inside I grabbed a gun
Walked around from room to room
then outside I heard a boom
It scared me half to death
I sucked in an extra breath
Then I did come to realize
that lightning had lit the skies
When assured no one was there
I sat down in the chair
Proud that I’d been so strong
and wondered what had gone wrong
My husband’s regular evening call
told the story of it all
He woke up for work late
ran like a horse from the gate
Must have not closed the doors
and my peace that all restores!

Alone in the dark
make your own spark
And faith to ignite
create your own light
In your darkest days
give the Lord praise
When He’s with you
none stand against you
Alone you’ll never be
when you belong to He!

It’s in the silence
your eyes have said
Over a thousand words
from when we wed
No need for talking
when we are alone
Deep love for me
your face has shown
This is true friendship
that’s grounded and sincere
There’s no waiting for
any words to hear
The language of love
is spoken in silence
A friend reads volumes
contained in a glance
And I know Darling
you’re my loving friend
Who’ll be with me
until the very end!
