The Wicked Ones

Pay heed to my cry .

Turn your ears to my prayers .

There is no deceit on my lips .

I know you visit me at night .

You test me and you find 

In me no wrong .

Guard me as the apple of your eyes .

Hide me in the shadow of your winds 

From the violent attack of the wicked ones .

My foes encircle me with hurtful feelings .

There hearts are tightly shut .

Their mouths speak proudly .

They advance against me 

And now they surround me .

Lord confront them 

And strike them down .

Rescue me from the wicked ones .

Turn your ears and hear my words now .

                                         I love you all

Angel On High

When we ask our angels

To pray for us ,

We can be sure we have friends

In the highest places .

When you are lonely or hurting ,

Talk to your guardian angel .

You can talk out loud 

Or just inside your head and heart .

They can hear you whenever you speak .

Sometimes just enjoy the company of your angel .

The vision of the angels 

Works softly and peaceably 

And awakens joy in you .

I think angels resort to drama only 

When necessary ,

In order to break through your barriers 

Of consciousness .

Once they have broken through ,

The angels can commune with us 

On  more subtle plans .

Angels are like a bridge between 

Heaven and earth .

We all need a bridge almost every day .

                                   I love You All

I Believe

I believe in the sun

Even if it does not shine .

I believe in love

Even when I am alone .

I believe in God

Even when he is silent .

I know it is good for me 

To be near him always .

He is my protector 

And I will talk about 

His wonderful deeds .

He will stand up for me 

Against all evildoers .

                     I Love You All

Today's Angels

They are the best and most

Beautiful things in the world .

They can not be seen or even touched 

But they can be felt with the heart .

Their miraculous activities 

Can be accomplish 

In a manner so unobtrusive 

And so subtle 

That mortals are ignorant of their presence .

The Angels will always watch us .

They will press near our side 

Into our thoughts , into our prayers 

And will always glide

Over us and gently help 

And protect us always .

                      I love you all

                       By Brock

Each Day

We need to have faith , hope

And love 

Each new day of our lives .

Always plant a seed 

Of faith , hope and love into each 

Person you see and touch each day 

And it will be a better day 

For you and me .

There is faith , hope and love

In every heart .

All you have to do is believe .

                                 I love you all

Silence

The season of silence .

A time of isolation and getting prepared .

Do not complain about silence .

Run your own race .

You will learn things in silence .

In silence you can learn about tomorrow .

You can train for tomorrow .

In silence your not alone .

Do not complain in silence .

In your silence God will do the work 

At the right time .

God does not waste time .

You need to trust God .

In your silence always talk to God .

In your silence your not truly hidden .

You might think you are hidden ,

But at the right time 

People will come your way .

You can just wait and see in silence .

There is no surprises to God 

For God can bless you in the dark

Or in the light .

                                   I love you all

I'm Concerned

My dearest friend has slipped away 

Alcohol has taken over his life .

I think he is in a addiction trap .

Give me the strength to face him any way .

Give me the strength to strengthen 

My resolve to chose not to drink 

And be strong and do all that I can

To help my friend 

For I even take one day at a time 

And God lets me hold his hand 

Sometimes all 24 HRS in a long day 

For I am also concerned about me .

                              I love you all

                              By Brock

Keep On Shining

Each day brings a miracle 

Of a new beginning .

There is a little angel wisdom 

That you will carry with you 

Through each day never a gun .

All you have to do is go to school

And listen and learn and have fun .

Each day is not a ordinary day ,

For each of us has the chance 

To make something extraordinary 

Beautiful out of each new day.

There is an enduring worth to every

positive step you take .

Each good decision you make

Will come back to bless you 

And the angel will make sure

That any cloud that comes your way 

Will have a silver lining 

So rise and shine 

And keep smiling .

                               I love yea all

The Scares

You do not see all the scares .

You can almost hear the bones 

Battle under his cloths when he moves .

He seems tired and lifeless and old .

He is a kid just making time 

Until he turns the page 

On the last chapter of his life .

With all the scares nobody 

Will never see 

It seems like 

He did not have much longer to go .

I told him 

I know things don't seem 

That good right now 

But there is always hope .

With all your scares 

I know you can make it .

All you need is hope in your heart .

When there is darkness in your day

and at night in your life ,

I will help find you light .

I feel God made me to help take care of you .

I hope you and I smile real soon .

                                                By Brock

His Hand

Try to be quiet before God .

Always pray before him always .

It is not easy to be quiet these days .

Our world is so loud 

And the noise seeps into our hearts 

And minds .

We all feel restless and jumpy 

And on edge .

God seems so far away , 

But he is always near at hand ,

No matter how we feel .

When we do quiet down our hearts ,

We will find him there .

He is always patiently waiting 

To show His love .

He quiets me with his nearness

For I know he loves me always .

                                 By Brock 

My Suffering

When my troubles are turned

To Prayers the burdens slip away .

The Lord does not ignore my cry 

With my suffering .

There is no sense in adverting 

My troubles .

There is no market for any of them .

I could retire nicely at my old age ,

If I could dispose of my experiences 

For what it cost me .

I try to use disappointment as material 

For patience !

I know it is not the load that weights

Me down

It is the way I carry it !

I know the world is not interested

In my troubles .

I encounter just so

That I bring in the ship !

The word tact

Is the ability to close my mouth ,

Before someone else wants to .

I learned all this by praying

And by suffering .

                    By Brock

My Savior

His heart was broken on Calvary .

He made a change yes he made 

A change in me .

I was in darkness

When somebody touched me .

Yes Jesus touched me

And set me free .

What a savior 

His eyes are wide open .

Jesus will never grow old any day .

I love him for he gave me life .

I will pray every day and every night 

To him to help me with all my needs .

                                     By Brock

Why Ask Why

When you ask why ,

You will come up empty 

Every time so don't come up empty .

I am different because you made me different .

God has given me the power

To have an impact on lives through your words .

I do not want to settle for less .

People will throw away broken things 

But God uses them .

I always try to find a lilting 

Bird song , a loved one's smile ,

A golden sun light .

I do not want to be regulated

That I can not hear your voice .

I don't want to ever be pigeon - holed 

Or see one more dirty bird in my face .

I don't want to ever ask why me

Because you will never tell me 

But my stomach will turn

But on my face I will show a smile after all .

He said be not afraid it is I so be of good cheer always .

The Label

People will label you .

They will tell you what you can not do .

They will say you are not able 

To do this or that .

Never let the negative labels

Stay on your back .

Remove the negative labels

From your mind .

Negative labels never tell the truth .

Don't give the negative labels any power .

Put new labels on you 

The ones that say you are special ,

Mighty and blessed .

You are a master peace .

You are one of a kind .

God does not label only people do .

Never believe the negative labels .

Don't let one expert tell you

What will happen to you 

And what you can do .

Let God show you what you truly can do .

Never believe the negative labels .

Let God show you what you truly can do.

Always believe and pray for God's help .

God knows your beginning and your end .

God has given you seeds

Of your greatness and your destiny .

What Can I Say

When pain is over whelming 

What can I say ?

When terrified by treatments 

And therapy 

When worn out and weary

When loneliness adds to anxiety 

When even envy toward those

Who are healthy 

When loved ones are so far away

When it becomes difficult to pray ,

I will pray for her always .

What can I say ,

I loved you the first day I saw you

And I love you more today .

                               By Brock 

Build Myself Up

When I make a commitment I build .

Instead of giving up 

I keep giving out .

I try never to complain and never need to explain .

I am doing fine for the shape I am in .

I always see the person

Not their condition .

When the Lord fights for me ,

All I have to do is pray

And be silent .

I let God's promise shine 

On my problems .

I will be OK

So just keep going on .

In this world of mine 

I can be anything 

But I want to make sure 

I am kind

To everyone and call someone smiley

once a day no matter their age .

When I let the bad things go in my life  

I grow .

I can and I will always build myself up .

                                           By Brock

He Is not Alone

I know a man who surrenders 

To God for his daily direction 

Before he meets another each day .

Some days he is in distress

Where his tears have washed

His eyes , his throat and his heart .

His life sometimes is spent with sorrow ,

But one great comfort in his sorrow 

Is knowing God is with him .

Where affliction has broken down 

His strength 

And his bones seem wasted away .

In the face of all his foes

And being an object of scorn 

By some neighbors 

And of fear of some family members

And some called friends .

Those who see him in the street 

Will run far away from him .

He sometimes feels 

Like a dead man forgotten 

Like something thrown away 

That is why he surrenders to God each day 

For God will show him the right way 

Because yesterday is not today .

                                     By Brock

Tomorrow

When someone treats you wrong ,

You always have tomorrow .

I need you more than I want you tomorrow .

Tomorrow has not come just yet .

There will always be things

I will never know until tomorrow .

I will use the bad moments of the day 

To become stronger tomorrow .

In a way tomorrow is like being awake 

Early in the morning

And you just do not know 

What will happen 

So don't worry about tomorrow

Until it truly comes on its own time .

                                                By Brock

To Be Old

When you're old 

You want to rest 

And not do more

Than what you want 

To do today 

And not to worry 

About anything 

Not even the tomorrow .

You just wait

For your plan to unfold 

Because your not afraid 

Of anything anymore 

Because you believe

In the Lord .

           By Brock

My Heroes

They were my example .

They were remarkable

Thorn survivors .

They lived with fear ,

They knew how to live 

With despair ,

With loneliness ,

And their illness 

And from time to time 

With a broken heart .

When there was no miracle 

They knew how to live 

With permanent loss .

They always said 

They were fine 

For the shape 

They were in 

And they said

God supplies 

All their needs 

One day at a time .

Learn From The Dog

Learn to listen like your dog 

With ears open and its mouth closed tight .

Learn to forgive like your dog

With an open heart .

The dog does not care  who is right

Or wrong .

Learn to love like your dog .

Your dog does not ask for perfection .

I think every dog has wisdom 

Even if he never said thank you 

But just look at him .

                             By Brock

Your Critics

When you try to answer your critics ,

You will go down to their level .

People will talk about you ,

Laugh at you , people will try  

To put you down 

And even hold you down even more .

Put all your troubles and worry 

In  god's hands .

God knows how to protect your reputation .

Don't take the bate .

There will always be people 

Who will never like you .

Ignore the people who hurt you .

Believe and trust in God .

Stay on the high road '

And run your own race .

Never try to vindicate yourself .

Let God be your defender .

Let God turn the table on them 

And good things will come 

And always pray 

For when you do 

You will feel free 

When you put all your troubles

In God's hands .

Tickle Me

Give the world a smile every day .

A gift of laughter and joy .

I have been tickled by a feather ,

A child and a butterfly .

It helps from time to time 

To be a little crazy .

A smile and a tickle can save a day .

Keep smiling and tickling .
