If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were.

You Have Arrived

You boldly faced your darkest night
going the distance against your fear

Refusing to quit until you had found
an understanding of why we’re here

You have arrived, you’re free at last
all that you faced was all worthwhile

In finding yourself, you found it all
those old bitter tears are now a smile

No more questions awaiting answers
God has already met your every need

Be ready to stand up and be counted
you know the way, it’s time to lead

So many souls still lost and lonely
they’ll follow the light they see in you

When much is given, much is expected
will you help God to see them through

Wish Gifts

At this most special time of year
I’ve made a list of wish gifts for you

First of all, I wish gift you Faith
to know that GOD will see you through

My second wish gift for you is Love
every day right from the start

Freely given for you to share
person to person and heart to heart

Next I wish gift you Good Health
may you be well; mind, body, and soul

I pray that you will awaken to this truth
GOD has made you perfect and whole

And now I wish gift you an Abundant Life
GOD won’t let you down, he hasn’t yet

There’s more than enough, please be giving
your every need has already been met

My final wish gift is for World Peace
that all GOD’S Children may live without fear

I can think of nothing more perfect to pray
than for Peace On Earth all through the year

Our Day

This day is going to be my day
why not make it your day too

I am willing and I have faith
today my dreams will come true

I’ll accept life as it comes my way
not the way I wish it would be

I will ask God to meet my needs
I know He wants the best for me

There is a reason for all there is
and there is much I’ll never know

I no longer need to know everything
today I’m willing to love and grow

God speaks when we are silent
He listens to every word we pray

With God and you and me together
this is truly going to be our day

Teardrops are aspirins for the soul
anonymous

I Am Good Enough

I am loving

I am worthy of love

I am deserving of love

I am kind

I am attractive

I am willing to change

I am willing to grow

I am willing to do my best


I am ready to let go of all fears and excuses that have held me back

I am ready to accept myself as I truly am, and be the person God made me to be

And most important of all, I am ready to enjoy this beautiful gift called life


I Am Good Enough

Will You

So many souls only take
will you be the one to give

Fearfully hiding in the shadows
will you show them how to live

Faceless millions weep for love
will you love them with your smile

While many faint at the starting gate
will you go that extra mile

They never will, they’re too afraid
will you be the one to dare

Darkness has led them far from love
will you teach them how to care

The masses stumble blindly about
will you be their guiding light

Fear and hatred are assaulting peace
will you be the one to make it right


Will You?

I have faith in you my friend, and more importantly so does God!

I asked God

I asked God for someone to love
he gave me an entire planet instead

I asked him for a life of luxury
he gave me spiritual shelter and bread

I asked God to give me happiness
he sent twin sisters, joy and sorrow

I asked for a future guaranteed
he taught me not to fear tomorrow

I asked God for a successful career
he gave me the satisfaction of writing

I asked to be strong and aggressive
he asked why, will you be fighting

I asked God to keep me healthy
weak and ill, he taught me to care

I asked him to grant me security
through loss and gain, I learned to share

The Spiritual Life

The spiritual life is a solitary journey
an unmarked path from here to here

Seemingly strange to our intellect
in the heart a message crystal clear

Speaking of a return to wholeness
of ears that hear and eyes that see

The chains we forged for ourselves
all lie broken, wake up and be free

This truth lies just beyond thinking
the wise call it freedom from thought

In silence alone the gift is received
this pearl of great value never bought

Life is a journey from here to here,
and when we return we will know that place for the first time.
Indian Proverb
You don’t have to fight the darkness, you just have to turn on the light
Jewel

Looking For Someone

Yes my friend, I’ve been there too
on so many roads high and low

The desert journey dry and dusty
seeking what I’ll never know

A new friend or a former lover
should I make it happen or let it be

A quest for meaning or is it only
looking for someone looking for me

Role players in some grand ballet
marionettes posing as dancers

The offspring of something more
loving a world bereft of answers

Could it be hiding in front of us
our weary eyes too jaded to see

Or something as simple as love
looking for someone looking for me

(Source: mikefrawley)

Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
Joseph Campbell

Remember To Love

Mountains stand against the seasons
rivers wind their way to the sea

Each souls seeks to find a balance
a sense of peaceful equanimity

Eagles soar high above the heavens
their angelic shadows fill the sky

Our weary bodies ache and yearn
yet each has been given a spirit to fly

Our world impermanent and fleeting
it’s not how much or who you knew

Love is the only thing that matters
so I pray for and send my love to you

Though life can seem to be a tragedy
our hearts were born to rise above

You can find peace come what may
you only need to remember to love
