I stand in the shower and sigh,
These dropslets rolling down my face,
Are all the tears I can't cry.
I've been crying for way too long,
And my eyes have finally rebelled.
But don't tell me that grieving is wrong.
I know otherwise and won't listen.

Fragility
.
mistakes are easy to make
sometimes it's a life you change
sometimes it's just a vase you break
but don't dwell on them too long
because after not much time
your borrowed life will be gone

Living With Pain
Written for Caroline Schmitt in the memory of her husband Phil the pill.
`Till death do you part,
Was what you said from the start.
Then not fully understanding ,
That at death it had to end.
As the years went by,
The time did much faster fly,
Because you grew together,
As a friend of Christ.
Thank you for sharing him.
He made our nights much less dim.
As we saw him tease you,
And make you smile all night long.
Now those nights are gone.
All we have are memories fond,
And the lessons you both taught us,
Along the way.
The first lesson was of love,
Taught to you by God above,
Shown to every stranger,
And silly, crazy teenager.
The second was of friendship.
It's like being joined at the hip,
To have a friend whose common goal,
Is to live his life for Christ.
And last but not least,
Was the lesson of peace.
Which is only accomplished,
Through the gift of grace.
Just as the Bible truely claims,
Love is one thing that remains.
And eventhough he's gone,
We still have that abounding love.
And with that remaining trait,
We have the laughter that it gave.
That along with love,
We have the faith and hope,
That we will dance with him someday.

Upside-Down Tornadeo again
My life is a tornado,
Gone upside-down.
I can hardly see the world,
All spinning around,
I can't see what's right and,
I can't see what's wrong.
I can't really cry,
So I sing a little song.
I feel all alone,
But I know it's my fault.
I've trapped myself in grief.
And now I'm really lost.
I've made a big mistake,
I don't know what to do.
How could I have done
What I can't seem to undo?
Gone upside-down.
I can hardly see the world,
All spinning around,
I can't see what's right and,
I can't see what's wrong.
I can't really cry,
So I sing a little song.
I feel all alone,
But I know it's my fault.
I've trapped myself in grief.
And now I'm really lost.
I've made a big mistake,
I don't know what to do.
How could I have done
What I can't seem to undo?
