Missing the Music in my Life

Your love brings music to my soul
The harmony fills me and makes me whole
Our chord so in tune
The tides and the moon
Oh how I pray to see you soon

A hole in my life where you should be
A grand piano with a missing key
Songs play without it
The sound doesn't quit
But there is an ache every time that it's hit

A hollow feeling of the missing chime
A reminder of a melody faded with time
A yearning to hear
The applause and the cheer
As my heart starts singing because you are near

The Same Moon

The moon out my window
Shines bright like the sun
A reminder each night
That the whole world is one

No matter the barriers
Or the hatred we croon
When we lay our heads down
We all see the same moon

The Waves of Life

She felt the waves roll through her
As they poured into the shore
Their elegance and beauty
Soared across her core
Deep inside her mind and heart
Were solemnly at war
But this time she was determined
Not to fear them as before

Standing up, she took a step
To face her fear and pain
As she walked in, the waves were harsh
No chance to breathe, no tread to gain
No matter how she struggled forward
She always fought in vain
For when the waves came strong and cruel
They took back what she obtained

Just as she was giving up
When she’d lost all will to try
A hand was stretched out to her
Someone had heard her cry
He held her firmly in His grip
And with Him by her side
No matter how they growled and roared
The waves flowed simply by

The Stamp

His seal, His stamp
Hath reached every land
And in turn

Every nation, every country
Has touched this stamp
And been touched by it.

The joy, the intoxication
Of visiting this blessed location
Will forever be

Stamped in our prayers, in our lives
The essence will always remain
Sealed in red.
