Where i would have fallen,
Now I only stumble
To the brother I would have struck
I suffice with an insult
I am yet to turn the other cheek
Or take a brother the extra mile
It may only have been yesterday
When I was...
A funny old bird is a pelican.
His beak can hold more than his belican.
Food for a week
He can hold in his beak,
But I don't know how the helican.
When dark shadows fall around me
When the day turns into night
I am safe within His keeping
For He draws me to His side.
Ever faithful through the fury
Through the fire and through the flood
I am trusting as He guides...
There are too many kids in this tub
There are too many elbows to scrub
I just washed a behind that I'm sure wasn't mine
There are too many kids in this tub.
One ship drives east and another drives west
With the selfsame winds that blow.
'Tis the set of the sails,
And Not the gales,
That tell us the way to go.
Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate;
As we voyage along...
We are not just survivors,
patched up with scars and silent battles.
We are architects,
laying bricks of hope on the ruins of yesterday.
We are not just wanderers,

For the blue petal that’s mine

The winds of time like a housemaid,
Imperfectly gathered every careless word
Stitched them with aching precision
Behold, a coat of shame.

Hearts don’t fix in perfect lines—
they curve, twist, and break again
before the light finally enters.
I walked a crooked path
hoping the pain would forget my name,
but it walked beside me like an old friend.
Yet somewhere...
Come live with me, and be my love;
And we will all the pleasures prove
That hills and valleys, dales and fields,
Woods, or steepy mountain yields.
And we will sit upon the rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks
By...
Sun and wind and beat of sea,
Great lands stretching endlessly…
Where be bonds to bind the free?
All the world was made for me!
"You made me act
that way," he says.
"If you didn't say that,
I wouldn't have done it to you.'
"I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to."
Look—
I hit you,
but you just made
me so...
