Mr. Golden Sun, please shine down on me.

Rain, rain
Go away
At least until I get my rainboots

Rain, rain
Come some other day
Today I'd like to feel the sun

Rain, rain
Find some way
To meet up with a smile

Rain, rain
You remind me of tears
Please, please stop

Rain, rain
You nourish the earth
Why can't you do the same for me?

Rain, rain
I can deal with your mood
Just don't let it get to your head

Rain, rain
You're beautifully made
We're similar in that way

Rain, rain
I guess you can stay
A "thank you" will suffice

My best friend has a different last name

There weren't bells
But oh, joy was complete
There wasn't sun
But oh, they both shone

One of the best days of my life thus far
Has changed it forever in the saddest sense
One of the best days of their lives thus far
Has made them one under God

I can't describe how happy I am
Or how absolutely heartbroken I've become
The smile on my face is deceiving to all
What happens alone is the truth

The same ceremony I pray for myself
Doesn't seem logical, though
I've tried to ignore the absence of love
But now that she's gone... impossible

Jesus knows, and I'm sure He's trying
To bring to me the one who will complete my joy

Accident

Soon I'll be eating some dough
Trapped in a world of hats and happy faces
All for the cause of a fatal truth

My time will be fun, but her's was not
Thank goodness she had hope
The people she lived with had hope

A swerve created a problem
It shouldn't have
But it did and the world is one less

Expectancy is what enraptures them now
One day, up there, we'll eat at the same table
Oh, glory

Till then, we'll eat here for a cause
Maybe spread a little something
And frown with the family tonight

Record-breaking snow fall

It happened first
A chilly source
Of a smile
Yesterday

The thought was
To sit awhile
Reading a book
So I did

I woke up
A chilly nose
The book strewn
Ah, my favorite

Autumn in October


Lifting my face to soak in the sunshine
And breathe the scent
Things around us change so quickly
And so often
Without opposition
And I wonder...
Why is it in our nature to resist change?
Clearly God intended for the things on His earth
To change

I hear the sound of a mighty breeze
It refreshes
Terrifies some
Is what terrifies us perhaps for our benefit?
I think of the cross and all its redemptive power
Question answered

Crowds of those who get to enjoy
The clouds, the rain, the stars, the sea...
I sat for a bit to eat an apple
In the sunny afternoon
There's no sweeter thing
Than falling, crunchy leaves

The sounds
And smells
And warmth
Of life

A life in the hands of jealousy

I heard the injury, but did nothing about it.

I miss, but I don't want at all.
So long, free will, I'll see you in a while.
I'd like to, but should I call?
Let's see if my fingers push the buttons.
There's no reason for the muddling.
Or wishing.
I'm just sick of being out of it.

Now, after a long pause,
I miss the keys on the piano.
I'm ever wishing for the chance
To right it all.

My persistent requests get the button of rejection.
That's expected, though.
Scrounging for excuses,
Just to hear again.
There is no reason for this,
So I think I'd like to stop.

But then I hear and sit and listen,
And I fall all over again.

It happened over the course of time.
