There are 2 me's,
The one I want to be.
And the one I am,
I want to be free.
From sin from pain,
This body is falling apart.
Thankful to Jesus,
He's got my heart.
Still daily I'm torn,
Flesh let me go.
I want to live for God,
It doesn't want it so.
The me of the future,
Glory body work complete.
Keeps me running my race,
God will not let me taste defeat.
Hold my head up,
Me I am.
I will be what I ant,
Yes I will even if again.
I sin I fall,
Pride takes its place.
Grateful for Jesus,
Gods good grace.
Things I don't deserve,
Gift so free.
That is why,
I will someday be me.
Cause Jesus won't give up,
Even if sometimes I do.
He will pull me from,
The troubles I've been through.
He loves me knows me,
My shepherd Savior friend.
With Him I have heaven,
And that will never end.
Finally with Him,
That will be ME.
The one I want,
Will finally be free.

Remembering 9/10 Before 9/11
13 years ago,
This very night.
We as a nation,
Thought the world was right.
We went to work,
Came home and went to bed.
Kissed our kids,
Thoughts in our head.
Not knowing the terror,
That would come from the next day.
When 9/11 happened,
And our peace of mind was taken away.
Death on our soil,
Thousands now gone.
13 years later,
We have tried to carry on.
But we remember every year,
That fateful day.
When 4 airplane crashes,
Took thousands away.
A nation was crying,
And praying instead.
Worried about the future,
Hard to go to bed.
Watching the tv,
Not knowing what would come.
This horrible day,
Made us come undone.
Now we rememeber again,
What came to be.
The last day of normal,
When we were last free.

12 Years 9/11
It seemed like yesterday, When the news spread. So many people lost, The news said.
Even if I had never been, To the places they fell. I was there in spirit, On this day from hell.
Tears were shed, People came together to pray. I will never forget 9/11, That sad sad day.
7 months later after, I went to NYC to see. The hole in the ground, And people who talked to me.
Firemen who lost friends, Hearts still breaking inside. Pictures of the missing, Tears I couldnt hide.
9/11 on our hearts, Never ever the same. When so many died, From 3 airplane.
One day they thought, We will all fall. The nation will not be great, When they see this all.
But what the enemy didnt know, Not to this day. That it made us stronger, When we came together to pray.
9/11 on my mind, 12 years later gone by. I will never forget, When thousands did die.

Like Grains of Sand 12/11/2011
Missing the past things,
Like holding sand.
It slips away,
Before we understand.
I miss so much,
All I had.
My life,
It made me glad.
so I reach to touch it,
Memories so true.
Holding the sand,
Is what i do.
Maybe its natural,
To weep for the gone.
Or is it not,
The past too long.
Hold it graps it,
Is it true.
I cant let go,
In all I do.
Things to remind me,
Yes it was real.
Saddness shows it,
And I can feel.
I'm alive yes I am,
When I miss it all ways.
Will miss it,
All of my days.
But like grains,
Of the sand.
I can not keep it,
In my hand.

Lesson of Letting Go 12/11/2011
A lesson new,
Just let go.
Things in my life,
It is so.
To God to will,
We cant hold on.
Let go now,
Till it is gone.
Disappointments come,
Friends drop me.
It has taken this long,
To finally see.
Thats life it happens,
Crumbling all around my sight.
It might not be natural,
Doesn't feel right.
But to have the peace,
I wish I had.
I must let go,
Even when I'm sad.
Times of trouble,
While I weep.
For things I,
Can no longer keep.
I keep going,
Sailing along.
Letting go,
Till its gone.
I can fight it,
Keep it a while.
Till the next,
Painful mile.
Or as bad comes,
Shrug and say.
It wasnt actually,
Mine anyway.

Take Your Hand
You have asked me again,
To take Your hand.
But I tremble too much,
Don't know if I can.
You say trust Me,
With all your heart.
But I'm so afraid,
Falling apart.
You say all things,
Will pass away.
I know it's not forever,
It won't stay.
You ask me to believe,
It will all work out.
But all I can do,
Is cry and doubt.
You say I'm Your child,
And You love me.
But these tear filled eyes,
Can not see.
You ask me to just,
Reach up my hand.
Finally trembling,
I understand.

5 Years Grandma :(
05/10/11
5 years ago,
You left us here.
I cant stop mourning,
And shedding a tear.
I know we'll see you,
One day soon again.
But in 5 years gone,
As if time will end.
The pain I feel,
No joy there.
My sadness broken heart,
It's not fair.
I want to be happy,
You're pain free.
But grandma please,
You was taken from me.
I never imagined,
How the world would change.
I'm so different,
Almost strange.
Yet this feeling remains,
I don't care.
Life is truly,
Just not fair.
God will hold you,
Till we reunite.
Even if its not too soon,
Its alright.
I've reached to,
The one I miss so much.
But as always,
You're too far away to touch.
