My Lighthouse



Tall and sturdy he stands

Like a tower visible from afar

A lighthouse when storms strike

He always shines bright

Showing me the way home
His arms are always ready to hold

A skinned knee

A broken heart

Shoulders wet from catching tears

He never turns one away
His heart, two sizes too big

Envelopes me
No matter what I have done

I know I’m safe

Safe in the arms of my Daddy

No matter what I have done

I know I’m safe

Safe in the love of my Daddy

Save Me! Help Me! Pick Me!

I can barely breathe Tears roll down my cheeks Unanswered questions Unmet expectations Dashed hopes All leave me senseless Words you spoke haunt me Save me! The darkness is closing in Save me! The fire is burning Save me! I am drowning Drowning in sorrow My strength is drained My resolve is weak My voice is mute Help me! As I face the giant before me Help me! As I struggle to stand Help me! To know that I am not alone I am not alone I cannot do this on my own A rag doll slumped in the corner Pick me up Hold me tight Protect me in your arms Want me  Fill me with joy Pick me! Out of all the toys in the store Pick me! Breathe life into me! I will dance  I will sing for you Call me by name Make me yours Forever You have bought me with a price I am yours I am yours You have picked me!

I Look to You

When grief is a drowning ocean I look to you When my world is in turmoil I look to you When my shattered heart refuses to beat I look to you When pain is my constant companion I look to you When sorrow is my food I look to you When tears freely fall I look to you When anguish threatens to tear apart I look to you When the future is bleak I look to you When happiness and joy have lost their way I look to you When peace is an elusive memory I look to you When fear and uncertainty whisper I look to you When memories start fading I look to you When the strength to get out of bed has vanished I look to you When regrets torment me  I look to you When the longing swells within I look to you When hopelessness abounds I look to you I look to you My rock and my salvation My fortress and refuge My ever present help in times of trouble The rock I cling to The hope that will not fail I look to you I trust in you
