His Answer...

The answers are unclear, 
the path is broken 
into directions, I am unsure which 
to take. 
I pray for guidance 
and answers, 
to know that one day 
I will have 
the answer that I seek. 
His will shall 
be done, 
but in His time alone. 
There is no 
rushing the answer, 
not hurrying the outcome. 
Will it be what I 
am expecting? Or am I 
hoping for the wrong 
thing? 
God only knows, 
at this moment in time and 
when the time comes, 
I will know
too. 
There is no tweet, or 
post. No text or email that 
will come telling me 
what I shall do.
No, He, in all 
his glory and love, 
will guide 
my path and 
in the end
it will be worth the wait. 
It will be 
more than I would have 
hoped and 
prayed. 
The answer to my prayers is 
you, but 
God may have 
another answer in mind. 
Either way I know, 
that His answer 
will be the best answer for 
me.

Without You

Without you, 
there is still a me. 
I am still here, 
without you by my side 
Without you, 
life still has meaning 
and the sun still 
shines. 
There is no end 
even though you 
are no 
longer standing 
beside me. 
Without you, 
I still laugh and I still
smile. My world
has not stopped and 
I still have hope. 
Without you
I still don't have 
all the answers, 
and while I hurt knowing 
you are not here, 
I am not 
dying. 
Without you life will go 
on and continue 
to go on. 
I may miss you, 
now that you are 
gone, 
but I don't 
spend my days 
thinking about you. 
Though I do think about you
from time to time. 
I don't need you in my life
to be happy, 
but the fact remains
that I want you 
in my life and 
I miss talking to you 
and being with you. 
I pray for you, 
I pray for me, 
I pray for understanding and patience. 
Without you, 
I pray. 
With you I would 
pray still, but 
without you, 
I pray alone. 
The days seem long 
and the nights 
seem even longer, 
though I still 
make it through, 
Without you 
my life is missing 
that simple 
touch only you can 
bring. 
Without you all is not lost, 
but it feels 
like it is.

As I kneel...

I kneel here tonight 
with unspoken words and 
unshed tears. 
I kneel here tonight 
with a heavy heart and a 
mind that I can't 
seem to quiet. 
The love you seek 
is not so very far from 
your grasp. 
Why is it, 
that we seek love 
from those who will only 
cause us pain? 
Why do we hold on to that 
which we should let go?
Here I kneel, 
a silent prayer 
sent to heaven in the hopes
that it will be heard. 
I wonder, 
as I kneel here tonight, 
why this journey
can't be 
easy for us. 
Why is it that we 
have to take all these wrong
turns to find 
what each of us seeks. 
When all along 
it is right there,
if only we should look. 
If only we should 
be brave enough to peek. 
One day 
it may be too late. 
The one you want 
is not the one you seek, 
but as I kneel here 
tonight, 
wondering what 
to pray, 
I know that God is sitting 
in heaven, 
already knowing 
what is being 
asked. 
Words that my heart 
is to afraid
to let my mouth 
speak into words.
He knows the desires of 
my heart and if they are
aligned with His will,
with faith
and
trust, that one 
desire will be mine. 

Amen.

I Believe...

I believe in the joy 
and hope that are in the world.
Though there is darkness, 
I believe there is 
hope. 
Faith, hope and love, 
foundations for 
all this life 
can be. 
Faith in the belief that
we can accomplish anything.
Faith others have in us
to give us the strength 
and the courage to 
love. 
Hope is the belief
that things can be better,
that live is worth more 
than what we see. 
Love is knowing that 
there is someone 
you can 
turn to when the world is 
upside down. 
Though I can't be that person, 
there is not a day that 
will go by, 
that your mark on my 
world will not be seen. 
Through you, 
my views have changed, 
my focus faces a different 
turn. 
I believe in faith and hope, 
but most of all
I believe in 
love.

Unwritten

He sits at their favorite spot, 
remember her. 
The pain today as fresh
as it was the day 
she left. 
A goodbye, 
no one can take back. 
He remembers her 
face and the first day 
they met. 
The beauty in her eyes
and the soft touch 
of her hand. 
She fills his thoughts, 
and his heart 
just can't 
let go, 
of what could have been. 
The love
left unfinished, 
the story 
unable to be written. 
Their story, 
ended way too soon. 
He knows 
she watches him 
from above, 
but for him that is just 
not quite enough. 
To hold her 
one more day, 
he would give anything. 
To kiss her nose and 
hold her hand, 
he would give the world. 
As he sits in 
the place that reminds
him of her, 
a tear falls from his eyes
and for a moment, 
as he closes his eyes, 
he can feel her
and he knows that she is there. 
One day, 
they will meet again. 
One day, 
he will see her sweet
face and hold her hand. 
Until then...
the story is 
left unwritten.
