Life’s a gift But can I #shift The things that No longer serve my purpose? I want to live A life that’s free I want to live A life of service My habits bring me up And bring me down Help me to find My purpose in the sound Of trumpets playing Broken hearts praying #vss365

I don’t know The #road ahead But I’ve traveled The road behind this far I don’t know What’s in store But I’ve got my eye On the same star That’s shone With love From the night sky That’s given me The hope To try Now that star Is in my chest #vss365

I know the #tailwind’s coming The blessed relief The pay off for all of my work The joy to ease my grief The soft and welcome rose After all these thorns Because you died and rose again The veil has been torn The ocean has its tossing The forest fires burn #vss365

We each get a #turn Our moment in the sun Remembering our glory days And the glory days to come A dream is just a promise And hope will be fulfilled The love we have to offer The important Things we build We live to fight another day We temper grief With celebration #vss365

Like riding a bicycle You’ve got to #balance Get your two wheels turning Find peace in the Oceans of our lives In a world that is burning Destruction and building Both have their place Death and birth both happen Facing the trials of the day But still hoping For a peaceful heaven #vss365

If you’re always Trying to have #momentum How can you ever Be still? If you’re always insistent Upon your own way How can you ever Know God’s will? Thy kingdom come Thy will be done I don’t think it looks Just like we think If you want everything If you want it all… #vss365

The #headwind Strengthens my resolve Gotta be something To help us evolve Everything is hard When you just begin Yes, hope and focus Will help us win Like a baby bird Learning to fly Success is already in Our DNA Just gotta try And get through another Difficult day #vss365

When it comes time For my soul to #depart I hope to leave a legacy Of inspired art My inspirations Have fueled my own quirky fire And helped my poor soul To fly higher and higher Sometimes by going Down in the depths Always because of Their handling Of beauty and truth #vss365

#conquer is such A dirty word A better word Is help A better word We’re always searching To love the other Love the self A better word In the dictionary The dictionary’s full Of words that empower Not subjugate That act as a bower Provide cool and shade #vss365

This crust of bread Gives me #patience If I have just enough I can endure the waiting Give me my daily bread It’s good for the head And really that’s all I need Forgive me my stupidity And give me some lucidity Treat me like a human And I’ll treat you like one too #vss365

Never #unabashed If you start weak and poor You have respect For strength and cash Like muscle and bone That’s broken and healed The body is our guide Or the cat or the deer or the lion Who still know how To run and hide Grace is for the humble Strength is for the weak #vss365

I don’t want you to be Just as I am I’m a sucker for Our differences Like a magnet Opposites attract Two vantage points Were both life’s witnesses Knowing who you are Creates a #magnetism Seeing as you do With your x-ray vision I can’t do this By myself Life’s a joint decision #vss365

You held my arm It wasn’t a full #embrace You held my arm With a smile on your face I felt such love In your fingertips Perhaps I wanted To kiss your lips You held my arm It want a full embrace You held my arm With a smile on your face #vss365

Why don’t they give Guys flowers? I’ve got a nose That enjoys a #rose, too Why is it taboo For grown men to cry? I start to cry Like a bird starts to fly Over you Gentle like starlight Weeping like a willow I lay my curly head Down on the softest pillow #vss365

Take some time To #frolic In the tulips And the daises Even if others Think you’re chaotic Even if others Think you’re crazy Sanity is overrated Anyway Don’t get stuck Inside a box Like a car That travels Miles and miles You’ve got an engine You’ve got oil And you’ve got shocks #vss365

Sometimes there’s a #villain In your story A deranged demon Trying to take you down A bitter baby Trying to steal your crown But when you finally realize That their evil Is no match for your good That history’s a story Of an epic battle Fit for Hollywood #vss365

To grow the #grain You need fun and rain To grow the tomato You need sun and sorrow Tears and smiles Drop on the lillies and the roses It takes the spectrum Of emotions to Move us and grow us The farmer knows What it’s like to wait The gardner knows How to trust to fate #vss365

I take a #pull On my cigarette It helps me to calm down I write another minisong My anxieties to drown I’m building a world With one hand And with the other Tearing it down Oh my vices and my virtues Oh my conflicted soul Between my inner Service dog and werewolf I’m one complicated whole #vss365

In my search I try not to #lurch Try to have peace In my two-hand reach Don’t want More than I need Though I could certainly Do with remembering That I’m freed Freed to seek Freed to love Don’t need to push Don’t need to shove Godliness with contentment Is great gain #vss365

The way has been trod By a rock star or a god The road has been travelled So after you unravel Do you get back on your feet? Or #defenestrate your dreams? You might not feel quite The same great self esteem But follow your heroes Who’ve also had their doubts You have a spark of madness #vss365

We’re all a #batch of cookies Baking in the oven of life Made to be sweet And chewy and tasty Through the temporary Heat of strife I’m thankful for the ways that Things didn’t go as planned I don’t like to be anxious And confused and uneasy But the fire Has made me who I am #mentalhealth #vss365

Don’t use a #putter When you need a driver When you’ve been through something serious It’s hard not just to be a survivor To transition to a thriver First you have to have your needs met To become as good as you can get First you have to do what you can It’s a challenge To become a woman Or a man

Focused on salvation Scared to make Any wrong move My heart always thought about Holiness and righteousness And had something to prove How little Do we #gamble? How stuck are we In our ways? How much do we trust The winding road In these dubious days? #vss365

#Midnight in the middle The devil plays his fiddle The angel plays her harp And everything is dark Gotta have hope Like beams from a star Gotta remember Just who we are Gotta press on So we can go far Gotta have hope Like beams from a star #vss365

My head up in the clouds You bring me down I don’t know why You stick around When I want to smile You make my frown #Gravity I fell for you Then you crushed me Like a bug Gravity Oh it is true I wish I never Knew this love You clip my wings You wanted rings But didn’t want my heart #vss365

Life is filled with Signs, directions There is a helpful pattern And if you follow All the rules Your car won’t End up shattered Yes, a car can be Pretty dangerous Drive with care So you’re not In a pickle And for God’s sake When you’re driving Use your Turn #signal! #vss365

All of the gas That comes out of My #cravasse Maybe that’s why We have global warming It’s really insane How much methane I put into the atmosphere All of my toots Caused by beans Meats and fruits I’ll give you a Necessary warning It’s alienating And really frustrating #vss365

#Judgment When rightly applied Is an opening Of the eyes Judgment When wrongly offered Is like muck and mire In the water It’s what makes life So hard Considering the way That we’re wired It’s what makes life So good When everything Is understood Give me proper discernment… #vss365

Just the tip Of the iceberg Only skindeep A love that’s Not like a laser A hope that’s Barely hope #Immerse yourself! Dive deeper Than the surface Immerse yourself Fill ur world With purpose The ocean Is a metaphor For all there is To see&know The sky Opens our imagination To see how far We can go

My #tether’s Got some reach Lets me play Among the stars My feet were never good Just on the ground The ether Is my teacher Sometimes stay But travel far My ambition is to find A newer sound My feet were never good Just on the ground My ambition is to find A newer sound #vss365 #winsome
