BORN AGAIN..

A WANDERING MAN WITHOUT A HOME,WINDING ROADS A SAMARITAN ROAMS. A BEATEN PATH A WISEMAN CHOSE,OUT FROM THE DUST THE PHOENIX ROSE.FADED VISIONS THROUGH BLOODSHOT EYES,BROKEN SILENCE FROM THE SOUL THAT CRIES.FEARING RAPTURE FROM THE GOD'S CONFESSING SINS TO LIGHTNING ROD'S.THE STARS WILL FALL TO THE BLACKEST EARTH CASTING ANGELS TO HELLS REBIRTH.A DEADLY PLAGUE IN THE WINDS,FOR EVERYDAY A DEADLY SIN.ATONEMENT COMES FROM THE WRETCHED LUNG,WITNESS GOSPEL FROM THE SERPENTS TONGUE.ARMAGEDDON IN THE WAVES BUT PARADISE FOR THOSE HE SAVES.I HAVE NO FEAR OF THE END,FOR I HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED BORN AGAIN.NEVER ONE OF MY PRAYERS WERE IGNORED,FROM THE MOMENT I WELCOMED MY LORD.I GIVE TESTIMONY OF HIS WRITEN WORD TO THOSE WHOSE VISION IS OBSCURRED.I MADE THE CHOICE TO REJOICE,SPREAD HIS WORD THROUGH MY VOICE.I HAVE ETERNAL LIFE ONLY MY LORD CAN PROVIDE AND SECURED MY PLACE IN PARADISE BY HIS SIDE..

FALLING IN LOVE...

I WAITED MY WHOLE LIFE FOR MY PRINCESS TO ARRIVE AND IN A MOMENT YOU WERE THERE,WITH HONEY BROWN EYE'S AND BEAUTIFUL LONG BROWN HAIR.WHEN OUR EYE'S FIRST MET MY HEART SKIPPED A BEAT AND EVERY SECOND SINCE YOU HAVE KNOCKED ME OFF MY FEET AND BECAME THE MISSING HALF THAT HAS MADE ME FEEL COMPLETE. I SEE MY FUTURE WHEN GAZE INTO YOUR EYE'S, I SEE THE MOTHER OF MY CHILD,THE START OF A BRAND NEW LIFE,MY FUTURE WIFE.HAND IN HAND AND SIDE BY SIDE,I'LL BE YOUR MAN AND PROMISE TO ALWAYS PROVIDE YOU WITH THE LOVE AND HONOR THAT YOU TRULY DESERVE,I'LL BEGIN RIGHT NOW WITH THESE TENDER WORDS.I GET BUTTERFLY'S JUST HEARING YOUR NAME ,MY PASSION ONCE AS A SPARK NOW BURNS AS A FLAME.TWO LIVES THAT WERE SEPERATE NOW INTERTWINED,TWO SPIRIT'S AS ONE THE STARS HAVE ALINED.AN ANGEL SENT TO ME FROM THE HEAVENS ABOVE ,WHO TAUGHT ME TO SMILE AND RENEWED MY FAITH IN TRUE LOVE. YOU HAVE LEAD ME OUT OF DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT, GUIDED ME FROM PAST TO PRESENT WITH A FUTURE SO BRIGHT. TO SOME A TREASURE IS A DIAMOND OR PEARL, I FOUND MY TREASURE WHEN YOU ENTERED MY WORLD.I'LL BE THE WEALTHIEST MAN ALIVE BY EARNING YOUR LOVE AND I'LL STAND BY YOUR SIDE WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE.I'LL WALK WITH YOU HAND IN HAND AS WE BUILD OUR NEW LIFE AND SOMEDAY LIFT UP YOUR VAIL AND KISS MY NEW WIFE.FOR NOW I'LL JUST HOLD MY ANGEL SENT TO ME FROM ABOVE AND THANK HER EVERYDAY FOR HER PRESENCE BECAUSE I'M FALLING IN LOVE..

ANGEL..

I NEED AN ANGEL TO PROTECT ME IN TIME'S OF NEED AND TRAGEDY,I NEED AN ANGEL TO COMFORT ME,TO HOLD MY HAND AND WALK WITH ME,TO EASE MY PAIN AND SET ME FREE.I NEED AN ANGEL TO DRY MY TEARS,I NEED AN ANGEL TO CALM MY FEARS.I NEED AN ANGEL TO MEND THIS BROKEN HEART,TO HEAL MY SOUL THAT'S TORN APART.I NEED AN ANGEL BY MY SIDE,I NEED AN ANGEL TO WALK WITH ME AND BE MY GUIDE,BE MY SHELTER FROM THE STORM AND WITH HIS WINGS KEEP ME SAFE AND WARM.I NEED AN ANGEL IN THE NIGHT TO TURN MY DARKNESS BACK INTO LIGHT,TO HELP ME KEEP MY DREAMS IN SIGHT,TO HOLD ME TIGHT AS HE TAKES FLIGHT AND PROVIDE ME ALL OF HEAVEN'S CARE WHEN LIFE'S PAIN BECOMES TO MUCH TO BARE.I NEED ANGEL WATCHING OVER ME WHEN I'M ON BENDED KNEE IN MY TIME'S OF TRAGEDY,I NEED AN ANGEL TO HELP ME PRAY AND TAKE ALL MY SORROW AWAY.I NEED AN ANGEL TO HELP ME WALK THAT EXTRA MILE,TO REMIND ME OF ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE WORTH WHILE,TAKE MY FROWN AND BRING BACK A SMILE.I NEED TO BE AN ANGEL TODAY TO HELP SOMEONE WHO'S SKY'S ARE GREY,TO BE BY THEIR SIDE AS THEY PRAY THAT THE LORD WILL TAKE ALL THEIR PAIN AWAY..I AM AN ANGEL IF I DO ALL THESE THING'S TO HELP ME EARN MY WING'S AND PROVIDE THE SAME COMFORT HERE ON EARTH THAT HEAVEN BRING'S..

SEASONS CHANGE..

I SUFFERED THROUGH MY SEASONS OF DISCONTENT BUT SEASONS CHANGE AND BRING NEW THINGS,AS AUTUMN WINDS DROP THE LEAVES FROM THE TREE'S IT IS THEN I WITNESS THE WINDS OF CHANGE BRING BRAND NEW THINGS.ALL NEW COLOR'S IN THE FALL ,RED AND PURPLE,ORANGE AND BROWN ON ALL THE LEAVES THAT HIT THE GROUND.SUMMER'S CANVAS WAS PAINTED GREEN AS I LISTENED TO THE SONGBIRD'S SING A TINY LITTLE MELODY,THEN CATCHING AIR BENEATH THEIR WINGS A SYMPHONY OF HARMONY'S ,CREATING MUSIC FOR MY EAR'S EASING ALL MY PAIN AND FEAR'S.IN THE FALL WE LOOSE SOME LIGHT ,I WELCOME DARKNESS AND ALWAYS KEEP MY DREAMS IN SIGHT.WINTER STORMS ALL THE SNOWFLAKES CHANGING FORMS,IN THESE SQUALLS A MILLION DIAMOND'S FALLING FROM THE SKY IN THE MOONLIGHT CATCH MY EYE.WINTER SNOW HAS COVERED THE GROUND,TINY SPARKLES ALL AROUND IT LOOKS LIKE HEAVEN ON THE GROUND,LIKE I'M GAZING INTO A STAR DIMLY LIT BUT NOT TO FAR.IN THE WINTER NO STAR IS OUT OF REACH IF I LEARN THE LESSON SEASONS TEACH. NOW I AM A BRAND NEW MAN AS I HOLD THESE SNOWFLAKES INSIDE MY HAND.IT MAY BE COLD BUT I HAVE THICKER SKIN KEEPING ALL MY WARMTH WITHIN,I THINK I'LL SAVE IT FOR THE SPRING WHEN THOSE BIRD'S BEGIN TO SING,ANOTHER SYMPHONY TO ARRANGE AS I WATCH THE SEASONS CHANGE...

AFRAID..

SHE CLOSES HER EYE'S SHE'S AFRAID OF THE DARK ,AFRAID OF HER SORROW,AS SHE SEARCHES FOR THE HEART THAT WILL DELIVER THAT SPARK. A HEART THAT WILL BRING HER CLOSER TO LIGHT ,FUEL HER DESIRE'S AND MAKE EVERYTHING ALRIGHT.SHE WOULDN'T BE AFRAID IN THE WARMTH OF HIS EMBRACE,HE WOULD LAY HER ON HER A BED OF ROSES AND SHEET'S COVERED IN LACE, ONE TENDER KISS AS HE GENTLY CARESSES HER FACE.SHE'S AFRAID THIS MAN ONLY EXSISIT'S IN HER DREAMS,JUST A CREATION FROM A HEART TORN APART AT THE SEAM'S.SHE'S AFRAID THAT HER FEARS WILL DROWN HER IN TEARS WAITING FOR THIS MAN FOR ALL OF THESE YEARS.SHE'S AFRAID SHE WILL WAIT A WHOLE LIFE TIME FOR HER PRINCE TO ARRIVE,SWEEP HER OFF HER FEET AND MAKE HER FEEL SO ALIVE.SO TONIGHT BEFORE SHE CLOSES HER EYE'S SHE WILL WISH UPON A STAR,THAT THE MAN OF HER DREAMS ISN'T TO FAR AND SHE COULD EXPERIENCE THE LOVE FROM WHICH FAIRYTALES ARE MADE AND LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER...NO LONGER AFRAID..
