Time

Father Time regulates our clock, counting down all that is left

Tick tock tick tock and gone, this is the sound of his timepiece

How many moments we still have, none on earth can tell

Mystery and escapade, anoint you head

Boredom and stagnancy, snip at your heals

When death's grip calls you, may others miss times gone by

May your clock be full, never may it stall on a rough patch

Find faith in friends and family, live lively your life

When it seems like none may care, find hope in your heavenly father

We only have one clock, keeping our time in this world

So live it well, never compromise yourself

VOICE

It's not that I want to become famous, it's not that I want every one to notice me. I think every one would agree that we all want to be heard. Weather our audience hears a small whisper or a scream. We all have a voice and we all want it heard. So why is it that so may people are over looked. It's because it is so easy to get stuck in an everyday motion, and to follow the crowd. Many, however, will not admit this. Many will say that is not them. I know that I am that way, I know that I have found my self getting cought up in the motions and not listening for others. I can't go back and change what I've done, but now I can look forword and change what I will become. I know now that parents do know what they are talking about. That one of the best things you could ever do to help your self is to listen for advice. So let your voice be heard, but don't forget about other's while doing so. Listen.

Things that amaze me...

How impersonal FB can be. How when people who I haven't talked to in a long time want to meet up with me. How truly small the world is. How people who you thought you knew can suddenly change so fast. How its so easy to lose touch with people when you have email, a phone, and FB. How even after 18 years of life I'm still finding out things about my self. How easy it is to stumble in life. How flowers open up. How love works. How life can be so simple yet so difficult at the same time. How I still don't know how to work my phone. How the heart heals after it brakes. How babies take their first breaths. How God came down and died for me. How I find happiness in such small things yet can still feel depressed. How even in death life still carries on. How so may people want to change themselves. How people can cover up lies. How depression can creep up. How people loose faith in life so easily. How suicide is so popular. How I haven't loved tell it hurts. How I have not suffered for my faith to the point of shedding blood. How I live in such a sheltered place. How I am so deeply loved. So much in this world amazes me...

LOVE

God I know you have many things prepared for my life and I know that somewhere out there you are preparing the man for me to marry. I pray I may meet him soon but before that I pray you will teach me how to love him. I could pray that he be tall. I could pray that he be handsome. But above all I pray that he would seek your heart just like King David. I pray that even if he may stumble along the way that you will show him the path back to me. Help me to learn to be accepting of whatever swaying he may have done for I myself have moved off the path to him. I pray that before I meet him that I will have found myself with you but even if I haven't may he help me find who I am meant to be. May we give each other confidence in everything we do and most of all may we find eachothers' faults absolutely wonderful. God help me to wait for his embrace, and help me not to settle tell we find each other with you.

DEATH

It can creep up so fast. A shiver in the night, then gone. A pain in the chest, wheezing, choking, then no more breath. A five letter word that implies so much. It is close friends with Emptiness, Hurt, and Vast Voids. Its favorite time to show up is when things seem to be going so well. But, by its presence, things go spiraling down. There is no way to stop or beat it, it just comes when it feels. A train in full throttle with no engineer. The most unnatural thing one may ever face. What comes after, not many know. For when they know they no longer can tell. One five letter word that affects so many. One five letter word that sends men crazy, women to fear, and children to weep. One five letter word, DEATH.

CHANGE

I've heard it said that change often comes swift, hard, and pain usually follows. Well right now I'm at a point in my life where suddenly everything is about to change and I don't know what to do about it. In the next year I will have moved out of my Grandparents house, into a dorm, and will be on my way to a Collage life. I'M SCARED!!! It's not that I don't like the idea of change, it's just that all of a sudden I am realizing it's time for me to grow up. No more putting things off because I figure someone else will get to it. Nope, it's now my time to face reality. When you're a kid it seems like life can't touch you, like you can do anything in the world. Come on who hasn't ever dreamed of flying a plane? It's when you realize that your almost to the end of the runway and you don't have enough momentum to take off that's when you run into problems.That's when we come to a screeching halt. Right now I would say I've reached the end of my runway, without taking off. However this plane can be turned around, and perhaps then it will have the power. And maybe, just maybe, change is the way to turn around the plane for take off. We will have to see.
