Piano

What I cannot, the piano says
Stories told through only song
From his soul the artist plays
What with words would take too long

Instruments of many face
Whose notes can bend and swell
Cannot surpass piano's grace
Though cut and fashioned well

Merry Easter

This holiday encompasses all of time. I love God, but He loved me way before. I can't wait to love Him forever. :-) Don't ever forget what He did for you. In John 15, Jesus says to his disciples, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends..."

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Physical will

My brain and brawn work hand in hand
I move quick; head quicker still.
Lives are saved most every day
When physical submits to will.

A Friend Requested

I once knew a man who never would stop;
Till he knew your name he never rested.
Now the face of a book lets him sleep at night,
For a friend not gained is a friend requested.

Along the lines of Friend...

Oh, where did I go wrong?
How on earth did you ever find me?
I’m alive to sing this song,
And you are still right here beside me.

You hold me in your arms
The pains of life just fade away
And I love you all the more because
Your love for me is here to stay

What, I ask, did I ever do
To deserve a friend like you?

lose somebody

When you lose somebody you love
You can take advice from me.
Just dance the whole night away
And your troubles will go free.

I lost somebody I loved;
I danced until three.
Then I danced the whole night away
And my troubles, they went free.

So if you lose somebody you love
You might try dancin' with me
We'll dance the whole night away
And our troubles will go free.

Friend

The Lord who made the heav'ns above
Wants to be my friend.
He promises his faithful love
That truly ne'er will end.

Will you say to him today,
"Please come and be my friend?
And lead me in unerring ways
That do resist to bend."

Nothing to say

Have you ever had nothing to say? It's amazing just how much nothing a person is capable of saying in one conversation. Don't believe me? Just ask someone how they're doing. "Fine" "Pretty good" 98.37% of the time that means nothing. Wait a minute, is nothing nothing, or something? "Well nothing, of course!", but so often it seems like something that we respond that we're "doing nothing" or "thinking nothing." How in the world can you think nothing and respond, "nothing"? Something is always on your mind, even when it's nothing. And when you're fine, you're not. And I've just said a whole lot of nothing. Isn't that quite something?
I am done with Finals. Now I wait in anticipation as my grades trickle in... bites nails

God has blessed me this school year, and it looks like I have all A's except one, but I could be wrong. Depends on these finals. Either way, I am truly blessed. :-D
