Dreaming of the Murray

We loved to have a break
After all our work was done
Swimming in the River Murray
At Moorook we'd have our fun
I recall so many dreams I had
When I was much older too
I dreamt of swimming around
Beside that old concrete slab
Chasing all my childhood friends
Jumping into that cool water
Playing silly games as we did
Throwing a tennis ball around
Making up games as we went along
Our laughter and screams echoing
As we had our wonderful fun!

The television tower

Way back in the 1960's as kids
We lived out the back of Moorook
There were no indoor games worth playing
No computer games like there are now
There was only dirt outside to play in
Grass and weeds to roll in, trees to climb
We had to have a huge TV antenna
To pick up any signal to be found
As we watched those old programs
Those are sadly no longer around!
I loved to climb up anything I found
My favourite was my almond tree but
There was also that huge TV tower
I decided I could do it: I knew I could you know!
So I took up climbing that huge TV tower
Though I never did get right up to the top
I was so totally amazed and thrilled
That I almost got half way up to see
The whole area that was all around!
I felt so tiny: like an ant: as I looked down
To see those tiny little bits of our ground
I could see our neighbour's houses
I could see those beautiful almond trees
As I turned around and spied everything
That I could never see whilst on the ground!

Who cares for the carer?

I found this poem in a local newspaper: Who cares? God does!

Who cares for the carer, who gives these folks a break?

Who realises what goes on in their world – all give and take?

Who tells them “Everything’s okay, I’ll help to sort the muddle”?

Who’s there to start and end their day with a warm and loving cuddle?

Who comforts them with kindness to ease a heart in fear?

Envelopes their grieving body, caresses away the midnight tear?

As they learn to put up daily with repeated recitations and

Cope with switching off the hurt from all the unjust accusations

When partners wander off through an ever-expanding maze

Lost in childish tantrums, dreams or rewrite their glory days

Who gives them the patience to calm a failing mind?

Who can turn the other cheek when words are so unkind?

Who gives them the courage to face each waking day?

To stand and fight their partner’s plight as they slowly drift away?

Who understands for them the normal world they feel excluded

And knows for carers a cruel and worst disaster has intruded

And find when exhausted, vulnerable, burnt out…

“Batteries not included!”

Praying for good weather

I'm praying for good weather
I'm praying for sunshine
We'll be travelling way up there
In a huge great big aeroplane
I'm giving it all over: yes up to Jesus' plans
Knowing that nothing is foolproof
Unless we leave it in dear Jesus' hands!

The last Unicorn

Found a bargain just yesterday
At Cheap as Chips: yes I did!
Found a DVD of The Last Unicorn
My daughters used to love this film
When they were little girls
I loved the soundtrack the most
So many beautiful songs
I bought a CD of America a while ago
That's when I realized why?
They sang all the songs we listened to
And loved so very much!
We are all going to watch it together
We are going to enjoy those memories
Of times past when we were much younger
Before sadness came to stay!
Thinking back to better days!

A Prayer for Carlos

I’ve met you several times around the place

Know you and your kids, know your face

Met your wife and family, you look so self assured

But underneath I feel you must be ill at ease

Though you look okay, I know the truth

You take the drugs, you hit the roof

How do you manage to get through the day?

How are you able to look your friends in the eye?

Are they the same as you?

Can you not see the pain you cause your wife?

What does your son think of your life?

Do you care enough to give the pipe a miss?

Will it always be like this?

What happens when he gets old enough?

To really understand the truth?

Will he be proud then?

As he looks upon your haggard face?

Escape from within

Been digging an escape route
Through my very own skin
Didn't like this human being...
This me that was trapped within
So I'd dug deeper and deeper
Trying to reach into my very soul
Searching for that inner sleeper
That better me that was my goal
Never realised I couldn't do it alone
Needed Jesus to aid me: help me
Surrendered up my burden: atoned
Now I let Him guide me: shield me
Here He lives inside me: He is my all!
Gave His blood to save me: yes me!
No longer is my life under a pall!

Photographs

Found 8 rolls of undeveloped film
Whilst going through all my stuff
Wondering what I will find in there
When I finally get them back
They were all dusty and neglected
How long they've been waiting there?
I really cannot tell but I am unsure
Just what memories they will resurrect

Got that phone call just to let me know
The photographs are all developed now
So I rushed over to collect them
Had to see: curiosity got the better of me!
They were all from many years ago
Over ten long years in actual fact
Some of Shelley and her school friends
Others from the church camp at Macclesfield
Nana Lindy and Aunt Imelda at Lourdes Valley
Simone when she was just a little girl of four
Manuel and Violeta at their home before the fence
And Face painting at the Swan Reach show!
I was dreading that I'd find some of Tim
Wondering if I'd cope if that was the score?
Sedan home surrounded by those flowers
A birthday bouquet that Tim bought for me
Many photographs: full of so much more
I was taken back over ten long tears
Those memories flooded back into my brain
The pain of missing you: flooding back again
Vanessa and I cried a few tears as we talked
About those memories we shared this night
We had to think about your loss my love
We cried again just thinking of you Tim
For though the time is passing slowly on
We still can't believe that you are truly gone!

Blessings of healthy children

I watched a beautiful moving story on Facebook
From a husband to his beautiful wife and tiny son
He'd filmed her caring for their tiny premature son
Right from the very start: from day one!
Her gentle hands as she held their tiny babe
Her kind and caring nature throughout the year
The beautiful loving interactions between the two
The blessed bonding along the way 
Right up to his very first birthday!
It made me cry to see her face
As she lovingly kept her pace: so beautiful!

We are so blessed when we have healthy children
We don't even realise how lucky we are!
I thank God for my healthy children and grandchildren
And pray for all those mum's who suffer so much
As they watch their tiny babies grow day by day
Without being able o even touch them at first!

Ah my heart breaks for all those who have lost
Their little ones; sometimes without any chance
To even say goodbye: years ago it wasn't the "done thing"
Now at least people are more understanding
Allowing that precious time to parents when needed!

Thank you dear lord for giving us our precious little ones to love!

Winning tickets

We won tickets to view the Outlander premiere
All the way in Melbourne town in Victoria
We'll be taking a trip; my girls and I: oh my oh my!
It's just a few more days away: what can I say
We are all getting so excited! Read all the books!
Of that lovely Diana Gabaldon! Thank you Lord!
For bringing some well needed and well deserved cheer
This will keep us happy throughout the year
Thank you Foxtel, Hoyts and Starz: we are coming soon
Stay tuned for more about this joyful situation!

Bedtime bedlam

Bedtime is becoming such a mess
Mummy is getting stressed no less
The boys keep coming back and forth
Trying to escape slumber for all they're worth!
First it's to go to the loo: then some other thing
They just absolutely really need to do: find a string
Read another book: have a look for a toy
Yes it's the same with every girl and boy!
I need a drink: I need a bath: I think i stink!
Mummy I'm scared of the Zombie under my bed
Mummy He hit me on the leg, I bumped my head
Anything to get out of going off to bed!
Dear  Lord this noise is getting to my head!

Dizzy

"I'm so dizzy my head is spinning
Like a whirlpool it never ends"
Remember those lyrics from Tommy Roe
I remember the words right now because
I'm so dizzy my head is spinning!
I slipped and fell yesterday afternoon
Almost dropped the plate and that spoon
Landed awkwardly you know and now
I'm suffering as if from a terrible blow
My head is hurting: my muscles aching
I just don't bounce like I used to
I'm feeling old today: like a snail today
I want to just fall into my soft warm bed
Yes I need to lay my weary head!

Outlander competiton

My girls and I love the Outlander books
By Diana Gabaldon: writer extraordinaire
We just love all of her stories all about 
The adventures of dear Jamie and Claire
We've read all of her books cover to cover
We simply can't wait for the series premiere!
Jamie would make anyone proud: no doubt
As all the fans of these books would declare!

So we've entered the competitions you see
To view this series up there on the big screen
Yes to be some of the first in our fair Australia
To take a trip to Melbourne to catch a piece of history
After five months of sadness: my girls lost their dad
We are all desperate for some gladness to be had!
So after wishing and praying: right here I am saying
Please grant our dearest wish to be there!

Uncle Scrooge

Remember Uncle Scrooge

From those Disney cartoons

Also from “A Christmas Carol”

What a terrible life to lead?

Where everything and everyone

Was treated with disdain

Everything and everyone a pain

“Bah humbug” the usual refrain

What a miserable life to lead

No love for your neighbours

No love for your own family

Counting every single penny

Counting every single deed

Do you know anyone who lives like this?

Everything a problem

Everything to displease

The love of God is missing

The love for your fellow man

Everything is displeasing

Everything to be frowned at

No joy in anything

No pleasure to be had

Something is very wrong

Something very bad

Why do some enjoy another’s sadness?

Why do they like to live in misery?

What simple thing is missing?

From their heart, from their soul?

Is it simply a terrible disease?

God help us to be humble

God help us to believe

That those who help others

That those who love to give

Will be rewarded up in heaven

Will find blessings to their soul

When giving to help another

Is all that matters: is their foremost goal!

Balance

Life is all about balance you know
An even weight upon each shoulder
Equal distribution of all the good and bad
Don't try pushing uphill any boulder
Remember to do your blessed duty
Make the most of your devotion
You cannot serve two masters with impunity
One must suffer or you lose the other
An even balance truly is a must
Or else you'll just go insane: go bust!
To do everything to your best ability
You must follow the dear Lord's lead
Live your life with peace and humility
Let the love of God always win I plead !

The Giving tree by Shel Silverstein

My dear little grandson loves this book
"The Giving tree" by Shel Silverstein
Zac is three years old and already
He knows the words off by heart
When we sit upon his bed at night
He says to me "No Nana, I will read it!"
He looks at all the pictures there
He gets so very excited you see
As he reads those words to me
He reads those wonderful words out loud
He is very, very proud you see
That he can read this book to me
He reads the pictures because he can
Remember all of them one by one
Except for those pages with lots of words
Those he lets me read: too many big words
He once said to me as he tossed a book aside
Too much "Charlie and Lola" I guess
He copied everything he sees
My precious little boy: how I do love you!

A place for everything

A place for everything 
And everything in its place
That's what I would like
By blessed Jesus' grace
A time for giving of our love
God's love from heaven above
A time for healing everyone
Just like Jesus already has
A blessed promise He has given
That where he went we would too
This he promises to me and to you!

Rest in peace Debbie

Yesterday was a year since you left us
It was to be your birthday too!
You'd have been only fifty two!
Though it seems like a dream
More like a nightmare in reality
For you were taken way too young
So rest in peace honey: indeed
We think of you very often love
Remembering your short eventful life
Knowing that We will see you again
When dear Jesus returns!

Open your door to Jesus

Open the door of your heart
Let Jesus in: let Him be a part
Of your every waking moment
Don't care if any do comment
It is my relationship with Him
It is the blessed joy He brings
That's what makes my every day
Full of love, full of  joy in every way!

Zac attack

Oh no! I've had another Zac attack!
He's three I know and I can see
He's cute as a button but much more...
He just makes my heart sing!
I wake up and walk inside
There he is waiting for me
Saying "I love you Nana!" 
He's so full of beans I am amazed
He just keeps on going all day long
Playing his games and singing along
He's a pirate: he's a superhero
Saving the whole wide world
Yes he's my little superman!
He knows his favourite books off by heart
Loves being read to: right from the start
But he just loves to make a mess
I really must admit: I must confess
I just don't know where he gets that pluck
He falls over and then gets right up again
Half the time he's crying: the other half: laughing
Oh Lord this beautiful child is so blooming wild
My precious little boy: how I love you!

As God leads

Ever wondered why it is?
That when one door closes
Another opens up elsewhere
So it is that we must move
To accommodate God's plans
When some door closes
Another opens up to guide us
I know He lives here; right inside us
The movement we need
Is hidden inside our very hearts
We just need to let Him guide 
He who made us knows us well
Waits to see us blossom
Waits to see His children grow
He knows we need Him so
Without Him we are dull
Without Him we are lost
Remember that He has already
Died for our sins: paid our cost!

The Barossa Valley

I've driven through the Barossa Valley
Many times during my life, enjoyed
Beautiful scenery: stunning views
Hills, trees, all the lush greenery

As a little child my dad would drive us
There was no bypass back then
Just those beautiful winding roads
It was a wonder to behold for me

Looking at everything: taking it all in
My imagination would run wild
So many possibilities back then 
Seeing everything through a child's eyes

I remember Angaston's Moreton Bay fig trees
Tanunda's rock gardens at the Gawler end 
The swimming pool at Nuriootpa
The shopping and amenities

Then as a teenager travelling on the bus
To Adelaide: going to the University
I always wished I could live there one day
Yes: these imaginings appealed to me

My family lived in Sedan for 26 years
My children grew up in the nearby area
Taking the bus up the hill to the high school
Meeting with friends or just hanging out

After so many years of shopping and living there
It now seems so strange to be leaving
I will miss all those friends I've made
I will miss all the back roads and hills

I will miss all the beautiful landscapes 
All those huge Eucalyptus trees full of birds
All the grape vines in between the towns
Those pleasant drives up to the lookout

But the good thing I suppose is that
Adelaide is not so far away from the Valley
I am still able to drive there now and then
To get my fix as it were of all that beautiful greenery

Evaleah is so beautiful

Santiago has made up a song
In honour of his little sister
This is how it goes:
Evaleah is so beautiful
Evaleah is so beautiful
She's so smart and kind
Evaleah is so beautiful
Evaleah is so beautiful
Another girl as pretty
Is so hard to find!

Give me joy

Dear Lord I've been so sad
Dear Lord I've been so down
I need you love more than ever
I need some goodness to contain
I need your many blessings
I need to feel your precious love
For my dearest one I've felt so weak
As I stumbled around: please help me!
Please send your dear angels down
Help put a smile where there was a frown!

Craving sunshine

I'm craving a little sunshine
After all this cold and rain
I want to feel happy: I do
I really need to feel happy again
After so much sadness
After so much stress
I feel the need to relax a bit
I feel the need to let go
To find a little pleasure: yes!
After all this pain!

The Sound of Music

The first time I ever saw "The Sound of music"
Was many years ago after Tim explained how
He had seen it many times as a child
It was a favourite of Nana Lindy's
She loved to sing along to all the songs
She loved her records: the 78's: old classics
Operas and especially Madam Butterfly
We watched it again tonight: with Evaleah
She is only ten months of age but she loved it too!
What a terrible time to be living in
War and destruction: no escape from that
It was such a beautiful film: the scenery
The story of a precious family: brought back
To happiness by love: it was a pleasure to see it
It was a pleasure to share it with my daughter
And with my beautiful grand-daughter!

Feeling helpless

It's such a terrible feeling when
Someone you love is in pain
You feel so helpless and useless
When you can not ease their complaint
Your heart is hurting with them
Your mind is in such turmoil
You cannot but suffer along with them
As you try to find a way to aid them
Simple prayers go a long way but
It is only when they get some relief
That you can finally say: thank God amen!

Laughing and crying

Watched "The Gods must be crazy 2" tonight
Love that film: it is so outa sight!
I love the Honey Badger: what an animal?
It's cute and sort of cuddly in a crazy way
It's antics in that movie really make my day!
Lena Farugia is so gorgeous: such a pretty sight
The comedy and the action: what a delight
Hans Strydom plays the really cool part
But the part that gets me each and every time
Is the way the father cries when at last
He finds his two precious children safe and sound
Those tears of happiness just come pouring out
Making me cry too as I thank God
For my precious children and grandchildren tonight!

Play with me

Play with me the children say
Teach me how to be real good
Show me how to do everything
Yes please let it be understood
Daddy come and laugh with me
Help me learn to be a good boy
Show me how to be strong and proud
Just like any active little boy should
Mummy please tickle me, kiss me too
Love me and play with me: show me
Just how much I mean to you
Please help me understand compassion
Make it grow as part of me here inside
I want to understand how life works
Guide me along this bumpy road
Pick me up when I stumble and fall
Play with me: that's how I learn
Guide my thoughts and feelings now
Help me all of life's ins and outs discern
Play is vital for our precious little ones
It is exactly how they learn
For what is play to all grown ups
Is the school of life from which they learn!

Nature's fury

There's nothing like nature
To put you in your place
The revolving earth spins around
The magnificent sun: blazing flames
Even after a bush fire's destruction
It all regenerates: at amazing rates
Grass regrows to cover the nakedness
Trees recover and shoot anew
Everything comes back in glory
To re-tell the life's amazing story
Waves crashing upon endless beaches
Powerful beyond all of man's reaches
We are so puny, weak and useless
Against nature's unbound potent fury
Tempests blow around this earth
Destroying all before it's rebirth
Ah nature is such a precious wonder
Even more so because of man's blunders

Life is like...

Life is like a drug
Can't seem to get enough
Life is like a dance
Just want to move around
Life is like a rainstorm
It just keeps pouring down
Life is like a fairy tale
Maybe for some one else
Life is like a chocolate biscuit
I'm getting all the crumbs
Life is like a peppermint cream
Tingling upon my tongue
Life is like an open door
Makes you want to come back for more?

Crying these tears for you

I've been crying
I'm not lying
The tears are coming
Quicker than they're drying
They slip down my face
I feel like I'm displaced
But truly I don't care
What you're thinking
It's my life and I'll live it
Just like God gives it
It's nobody's place
To call me a disgrace
I'm in mourning
I'm still grieving
Don't know just how long
It will take me
Never been here in this place
Ever before: don't want it
Don't like it anyhow
But this is where I am now
Just gotta get on I know
Just want to get up I vow
I need a little time
To take my time
To get up and smile
I know that all the while
My heart is healing
Can't fight this feeling
Of sadness some days
I guess I'm only human
Some days I can't even stand
Just want to wallow
In my own self pity
Yeah I know it's silly but
I'll get over it: soon enough
I'm sometimes tough
I'm sometimes weak
As a little kitten
When I've bitten 
Off more than I can chew
But you know me
I'll get up and show ye
I may be down
But I'm not yet out!

I see the light

In all the darkness surrounding me
I see a light as bright as can be
In all the days that I have lived: been
Through the darkness shadowing me
I understand how Jesus died for us all
And through that once shadowy pall
I hear that crystal voice calling unto me
I see and hear like never before did I
The sweetest voice, the purest bell
Sweet Jesus calls to his dear lambs
He offered up his blood for thee
No longer are we be doomed to die
Eternal life, His gift: right before our eyes
Though I slip and stumble as I crawl
He holds out His strong hand to me
Ready to grasp at His loving embrace
I long to find that blessed Holy place
Where even death has conquered been

Some days I wonder

Some days are still so bad
Better than what I had but
Still some days are just sad
Better than I could hope and yet
I am questioning: everything!
Is this all there is? Is this how life goes?
What about his soul: his inner man?
What about God's grand plan?
What about our sorrows?
What about all our tomorrows?
What is next? What of meeting up again?
What about salvation? What about damnation?
Is there really a hell? Even just for a spell?
All these questions abound in my head
All these queries that astound my mind
Am I being unkind? Do we ever find?
The answers to all our thoughts and fears
Are we just a tiny part of God's gears
In the whole world's machinery
What miniscule part do we play?
These are the questions that fly
Around in my poor human mind!

Alone again

The other night I slept alone
So very far away from home
No longer is that place
My home away from home
It has become just a space
A chore to keep up to scratch
A mess to struggle with: it is!
A tiresome hurdle I must jump
Something that needs such input
Too much for me to handle 
Too hard for me to cope
Yes it is now just a burden
A waste of my time and space

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde

It's like I was married to both
Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
Two minds living at war within
That same man: cannot be denied!
One day he was so loving
The next he was making me cry
Couldn't seem to find a way
To save the one: let the other die!
What happened to that man I married?
What happened to that kind, loving guy?
I'm left here alone to ponder: yes to ask: why?
Why Lord did he change from day to day?
Was there in truth: no other way?
It is so sad how life's hurts can change us
It is so unfortunate that some just cannot cope
With those pains that shape us for ever
When we are just a helpless little child

Can of worms

Please don't open up
That awful can of worms
Too many bad memories
Too many things with which
I just don't want to come to terms
Too many sad times
Too many days to make me cry
That's why I say: let sleeping dogs lie!
Leave it all well enough alone
He's gone now and I am feeling shy
Don't want to think of all that pain
Can't bear to think upon those
Horrid days when hatred won the day
Don't want to remember the violence
Don't want to even think on it!
So leave that can unopened
Leave that washing out to air
Praying that wholesome sunshine
Will bleach those memories dry

Hearth fire

I camped out last night
It was so freezing cold
I lit the fire and sat tight
Waiting for flames to glow
It took a while for warmth to come
Into my chilled body: my bones
We're frozen: or so it seemed
But finally something melted
Yes finally it happened to me
As I sat there waiting for the thaw
I felt the pain within my heart
Yes I felt so lost and alone
The same questions repeated once again
"Why did you have to go?"
"Why did you leave us here: alone?"
Many thoughts and feeling flowed
Through my cold and sorry heart
Until at last I shed a tear: lost a part
Of the memories that flickered there!
I was inside our old home: not outside
But still it hurt me to think of you
Of all the times we loved and laughed
Of all the times we cried
Yes these thoughts were jumbled
All around inside my mind
As I thought of all the years we spent
Right here in front of this fire
Cold winter nights we sat
In this family kitchen: gathered round
This place of warmth and love
Around this hearth we shared our love
Those memories will ever live within me!

Toddler in training

What a blessing it truly is
To watch a toddler in training
My dear little grand-daughter
Is ten months old: a toddler
She loves to get around the house
She loves exploring: everything!
She stands up all by herself
The joy upon her face is amazing
As she stands for several seconds
All by herself: balancing on those
Gorgeous little legs of hers
The pleasure on her face when
Woody spoke to her: she was amazed
To hear those sounds he uttered
She doesn't want to have her nap
She doesn't want to miss a thing
Everything is just so exciting!
Oh to go back in time to long ago
When everything was exciting to me too
Oh to see through a tiny child's eyes
To find wonder in every simple little thing
Such a blessed thing it is to be
A little child excited by the slightest thing!

Tonight I cried

Tonight I cried a tear for you
Tonight I felt so lost
What will I do without you dear?
How will I go on living?
So many things I'd like to know
So many thoughts come unbidden
So many questions come to mind
When I think of all that's hidden
God only knows how it will go
He it is who rules this world
To Him belong all riddles
Why do our loved ones have to die?
Why do we feel so lost and alone?
What happens when we die?
Do we go straight to heaven?
Do we fall asleep and know nothing else?
What happens to our soul at death?
Does it just go on and on?
Ah so many questions burn inside
If only I had the answers: too bad
I guess I'll just have to go on asking!

Sheer madness

Just got a FB message from someone
Asking for all my personal banking details
Saying he'll get some money through
My account then I'm supposed to send it to him
What sort of idiot do you think I am?
Why would I want to give you all my details?
Stop scamming people and get off your bum
Go and get your self a real job chum!

Face value

How can you tell about someone?
How can you see past their disguise?
What signs do you look for?
When you want to understand their sighs?
What is it that shines through those layers?
What magic is available to discern?
The truth of their situation?
The depth of their desires?
Is it possible to see inside their heart?
Is it possible to know someone from the start?

I only know that God is all-seeing!
I only recognise His designs!
I only want to be filled with His love!
I only want to be one of the few
Who care not what this world thinks!
It is what my Lord sees inside of me that matters
That is what I care about: not those humans
Who look down upon this visage?

In my heart I understand those longings
I know how I feel in this petty world
So: it is with a heart full of love
That I try to see inside another's soul
I am what you see here before you
There is nothing I care to hide
What you see is what you get
I have no need to go about in disguise
I am open to all who wish to know me
My heart is an open book
My soul I release with these words
If you want to question my reasoning?
It is right here: no hiding my purpose
I only want to share this joy bubbling inside
The joy of my loving Heavenly Father!
The joy of His love that escapes from inside
What a wonderful blessing to be able
To capture another's heart with His words
As they erupt in bountiful measure
As they reach out to touch another's soul
This my Lord is my pleasure: your words
I dutifully inscribe: guiding those
Who seek your blessed treasure
The better this life to love and understand!

What if?

Too any "what ifs"
Too many questions
Too much sadness
Too much emptiness

What if the house is flooded?
What if I cannot cope?
What if I lose it all?
What if I don't succeed?

Too many people lost
Too many people hurt
Too many people full of greed
Too many misunderstandings

What if the world will end?
What if a loved one dies?
What if the car breaks down?
Want if I'm stranded in the street?

It is so easy to become
Overwhelmed in this busy life
Too many lost in limbo
Too many people suffering so much strife

Please turn to God in Heaven
Please trust him and let him guide
Please remember to thank him
For you precious life: he is love

He is our father: he wants to take us home
He it is who paid our precious price
So next time you get the "what ifs"
Next time you suffer doubt

Remember to say a prayer to him
Remember to thank The Lord
Trust that all will be okay
For he has control of this world!

Night out

Ever had a good night out
That you didn't want to end?
Felt like you were so lonely
Without any real friends?
You catch up and chat a lot
Have a really good time
Then don't want to go back
To that depressing empty home?
I guess I must admit I am
Feeling just a little bit low!
No loving husband to return to
Just an empty house there: waiting
It's become an empty shell
No love there: no welcome hug
Just a cold dark heap of rooms
Where our family used to dwell
The silly thoughts that cross my mind
Where do they come from: I surely cannot tell?
It must be some negativity from hell!
What if it has been flooded once again?
What if I get there and don't want to stay?
What if I get too sad: who to tell?
Dear Lord please give me strength
For I have none of my own
I only ask for your help because I am alone
So send your dearest angels please
To help me make it through
I just cannot it Lord: without you!

Evidence

What is evidence?
What is fact? What is there to ask?
How do we really tell?
What are lies and what is truth?
You can see with your own eyes
You can add two and two
But what about those things
That no-one can undo?
How about later on?
When trying to unravel
Facts that lie upon the ground
Yes, right there in the gravel!
I saw the damage to the ceiling
Put two and two together
Worked it out and added it up
There is no other way to it
Had a look inside the roof
Saw that bucket lying there
How come it moved away
From where it was before
The man hole was opened up
The stick was outside on the ground
Surely some-one must have been
There to change the scene
Some-one must have thought
Nobody is around so I'll get in
Without a bloody key
Just to have a look around
Just to have a look-see!
The proof is in evidence 
No other way to see it
Some-one must have been there
Some-one must know the truth
But until I see that one myself
Only God knows who did it!
