My Fight, My Race.

"Fight until its done"
How long must I fight?
How long shall I race?
"Race until the race is run"

Sweat drips, my lungs feel like fire,
And yet I see no end.
"No!" I look around
And realize I am in the mire

Sinking, stinking.
Not where I use to be,
Far from where I want to see.
Then I start thinking

Thinking of the years gone by.
Thinking of my hopes.
Thinking of my dreams.
Thinking of how I long to fly.

To fly away,
To soar above.
Far from the mud,
To fly out of the clay.

The clay there is the key.
For God formed the clay.
The base of the earth,
He used it to make me.

"I have a plan
I made you
I love you
And I hold you in My hand"

Me- I'm not trash.
He made me
I have hope
Slowly, I try to make a dash.

Sluggishly, one food is freed.
I won't stop fighting!
I won't stop racing!
I want to follow where He leads.

I fight.
I struggle.
I cry.
Yet I try with all my might.

He helps me out.
He never leaves me,
He heard my cries and,
He set my feet on  solid mount.

Now I'm on my way
Sometimes its cloudy,
But I know He is there,
No matter the weather, or the day.

Missing you

 Do you think of me?
I find myself thinking of you
They say forgiveness is the key,

And that love is the theme
Yet I wonder
Is life just a dream?

Love, a façade, a fake?
Is love real?
Is life just a drop in a lake?

Did you ever care?
Or was I always "friend"
I guess it would be fair

Fair for you to be
Fair for you to leave
If you never thought much of me

Something changed
The song so familiar to us
Was suddenly exchanged

Exchanged for a song
Of doubt and uncertainty
One that seemed to run too long

Slowly the dream began to fade
I tried to recall and correct
Gave the best effort ever made

But in the end
There was too many shattered pieces
And the road came to a bend

We parted our separate ways
I hope you find what your looking for
And that you treasure all of your days

I look back and I smile
I sigh
In the end I'm happy for these last few miles

So farewell my friend
God be with you
Till we meet again
