I was Born
I was born\
I started to grow
you yelled
you hit
you did scary things
I grew up
thought it would end
it continued
not so bad
but still there
when will it stop?
when will it end?
I found God
He didn't take away the things you did
I wanted Him to
He made me strong
He made me pure
He loved me when I was alone
In Him I am holy
In Him I am pure
In Him I am still an innocent little girl

Rainy Night
Sometimes it comes down heavy
and sometimes not.
It seems to come from all angles at times
and sometimes from the ground.
It comes down long and hard
almost acting as a punishment.
And other times it just falls freely,
often resembling applause
Sometimes it hurts
and sometimes it tickles
No matter what the case though,
it always brings with it life
By Georgia
It covers like a blanket
It's blinding, yet dark
It can hide your worse fears, and expose your utmost desires
It's colored by the lamp on the street, then fades itself into darkness
It can comfort you on days of sorrow, and calm you during the storm

What Do You Say?
Some say silence is golden,
I say it's overwhelming.
Some say the night is scary,
I say it's revealing.
Some say you should worship me,
I say I will never bow.
Some say please love me,
I say you must before I can.

Is This Love?
Is it leaving a light on for me?
Is it not getting upset if I need to call at 3 am?
Is it calling me because you haven't heard from me in a few days?
Is it praying for me, though you've never met me?
Is it letting me cry on your shoulder when I don't quite know why?
Is it letting me babble about all the things in my life, the good and the bad?
What exactly is love?
Is it all these things, or is it none of them?

What do you see ?
What do you see when you look at me?
Do you see a confident young woman, or a scared little girl?
Do you see someone with a good head on her shoulders, or do you see
inexperience reign?
Do you see clear eyes and a heart of gold, or do you see the shame deep
inside?
Why do you see what you see in me?
Is it because you have to, want to, or is it out of pity?
Do you want to know what I see in me?
I see in me things you may never see.
I see someone who is brave as the lion on a hunt, and who is scared as the
deer upon which it preys.
I see someone who has gone through a lot, but still has more to come.
I see someone who never really felt loved, but somehow found it in herself to
love others.

Yet, We're the Same
Your views are different than mine
yet, we're the same
You're older than I
yet, we're the same
We come from different backgrounds and families
yet, we're the same
We have totally different lives
yet, we're the same
We live in different places
yet, we're the same
Our maturity levels are different
yet, we're the same
We have different capacities for love
yet, we're the same
You may have more patience
yet, we're the same
The differences between us are many
yet, we're the same

The Perfect Lover
I know the perfect lover
He will never leave you for another woman, or another man for that matter
He won't prefer smut sites or porn videos over you
He will give you His undivided attention ANYTIME you need to talk
He will always understand your feelings
He will always know what you want
He will never hurt you physically or emotionally
He will always be there for you no matter what
He will wait for you
He is the perfect lover
Not a one nite stand, because that's not what a lover is
A lover is one who will be there thru the good times and the bad
A lover will be there when you're 80 and can no longer walk
Being a lover is a lifetime commitment
And that is why Jesus is the perfect lover

Save me, oh Lord, from myself
I hear you knocking, but do I dare let you in?
I'm so scared, Lord
Scared to let You in
and scared to keep You out
How will my life change?
Will I be alone for Your sake?
Is it a dream, or can You
really save and forgive?
Can I trust You?
Should I trust You?
Will I trust You?
Save me from myself, oh Lord
Save me

I see your struggle and I feel your pain
I don't know who you are, or where you're from
but as I look around and my eyes meet yours
I see the pain
I see the anguish
and I see the fear
The insecurities you hide
are clear as day to me
I will pray for you
I know God will see you through
through your struggles
and through your pain
He'll be there to bring sun to your rain
He loves you so much
I wish you could see
He loves you so much
He died on a tree...
He loves you
I see what you're going thru
I know you struggle
why won't you let me in?
I know I can help
I can listen
I can pray
I can love.
But still you shut me out
is it because of my age?
I may never understand
and you may never tell me
but know this
I will continue to listen
I will continue to pray
and I will continue to love

I'm Sorry
I am so sorry
You love me so much
You gave me everything
and continue to do so
but I, in my selfishness
don't always see that
So I turn my back
and I get mad
then I pout
trying to do things on my own
because I think I can do it better than You
What a fool I've been!
To think I could do something
better than the God who created my being
created my life
a Soverign Lord
who is the author of life
I am so sorry Lord
Please, forgive me

Pearls
I remember one time when I was a little girl
I had a beautiful strand of pearls
They were shiny and white
And looked irrodescent if they caught the light just right
I held those pearls near and dear to me
I cherished every one
I held them and protected them from the outside world
In my safe place they were kept
All nice and neat, orderly and swept
One day, I wanted to admire my pearls
I went to the place they were hidden so well
But when I got there, they were gone
I was filled with horror and disbelief, that I could lose
something so close to me
Then I thought this can't be right
Someone must have stolen them
Who would do such a thing?
Why would they take something so valuable to me?
My young eyes didn't see
and my little mind couldn't comprehend
Why this had to happen to me
To this day I still don't see
and my not so little mind still can't comprehend
Why that special piece of treasure was taken away from me
