Heart Ache

I wish you would come along 
One more time and hold my hand ,
We could smell the flowers 
And the trees of fall .
And we could stand still 
And watch the sunset .
I have a heart ache .
I am so lonely .
The good times seem so far away .
My world is astray 
I wish you would show me
The stair way .
Tomorrow will never be mine .
Oh the things that have changed .
You are the reason at night 
That I can not sleep.
There is a picture of you 
In my mind all  the time .

More

I take more pictures 
And share them .
I tell more people I love them .
When I hug someone 
I hug them even tighter .
Believe it or not 
I talk much longer .
I try to make new memories 
Because life is to short .
                    I Love You All

Now

I do not make hay 
In the meadow no more .
My health is my wealth these days .
I wish it was spring 
So the nights were not so long .
I do not let the sun 
Go down on my anger .
I always soften my heart 
At the end of each day .
I let my soul be my guide 
Before I go to sleep at night .
At my age now I have more resilience .

God Knows

Jesus says that God knows
What I need before I ask .
God not only knows my need 
But fills it before I even
Know to ask .
I try not to be anxious 
About any of my needs 
Because God cares for me .

Amazing

Sometimes at my age I still get up
In the morning 
And do not know where to start 
As to who I should pray for first .
At this time in my life 
I do not want to pray all day .
When I was young , 
I asked my mom about praying 
And her simple answer 
Was just pray 
By saying his name 
Jesus , Jesus , Jesus .
Praying that beautiful name 
Has saved me years ago .
I believe today of all days 
I just better say
Jesus , Jesus , Jesus 
There is an amazing power
In Jesus' name .

A New Life

I Am doing new things .
God is working in places 
That may seem dry and dead .
You may look at me 
And  not immediately see 
Any signs of a new life ,
But when someone takes
A closer look
You might find some surprises.
You know God's creative power 
Will never disappoint .

Never Forget Home

Take the time to softly touch the grass ,
Watch the clouds move fast .
On hot days feel the sun  ,
Feel the wind go through your ears .
Say hi to those who you pass 
On a Saturday on the sidewalk 
As you pass the stores on main street .
When you are home ,
You sleep well 
Because you feel safe at night .
At home everyone is someone .
When we are home ,
We can really talk as one .
At home we all know .
It is hard to hate 
When we stand up close
To one another .
At home we work 
But we talk more 
About friends and family .
We all play and have fun as brothers .
Home is where we care .
Home is comfort and and support 
And appreciate what we truly have 
in our home town and our home 
And all the people 
That makes  our home town .
It is easy to love
When we are home .
It is always good to come back home .

Go To Prayer

At my age these days 
I still face challenges ,
My first step is to go to God 
And pray .
The Father created me 
And knows me better 
Than I know myself .
God will not only provide 
The guidance I need 
But will give me peace .
            I Love You All
            By Brock 

Unfair

I choose to be thankful for God's unfailing 
Love and for people in my life 
Who really truly care about me .
Life can be unfair  ,
But when I recognize
That God's love for me is real 
And never ending ,
My life has changed 
In unimaginable ways .
God is so good .
                  I Love You All

To Complain

As  a child I believed in Jesus .
But as I get older some things
Happened and I complained to God ,
I wished I had been treated differently .
I am getting much older .
I am now living my faith  .
I am now grateful for God .
                                       I Love You All

When I Pray

When I do pray I thank God 
For putting my friend in my life 
At my age .
I feel at peace when we watch TV
And yes my heart is at peace .
God gave me understanding 
And a special acceptance 
When I am with my friend .
I trust God and I know God 
Is always with us .
I pray .
                              I Love You All

Those Days

I have had those days 
When I felt like a circus act 
And I did not smile .
I have had those days 
When I use my voice for kindness ,
My ears for compassion  ,
My hands for charity  ,
My heart for truth 
And my heart for love .
Today is a beautiful day
So I will bask in its glory .
I am fortunate to be here 
So I will smile and make it count  .
I will not alow circumstances
To rob me of this moment .
Today I will live , smile , laugh, love
And just breathe .
