Bethany
Tiny dancer
Soul sings to You
Twisting, turning
Bursting forth
Unable to contain
Her smile of joy
At your unending
love

On Faith
I don’t understand you, God
It doesn’t make sense
how Jesus is you
I know it’s true
I don’t doubt, really.
I just don’t understand.
The focus is me…
Always me…
When the focus is you
Sometimes its clearer.
Sometimes its not.
You confuse me.
So far outside my finite
human mind
So much bigger and
all consuming
But how do we know you’re even there?
I know the arguments
I can recite the facts
You’re the one I don’t understand
can’t recite
can’t box up
into an easy little package
[Zephaniah 3:17 – “The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty, He will save, He will rejoice over thee with joy, he will rest in his love, He will joy over thee with singing.”]

Beyond You
I cannot love you
Indeed I must not
But somehow that gets rather confused
When I am with you
Or without
I should not be jealous
Indeed I must not
But somehow that gets rather confused
When she is with you
I without
So what is this emotion
This pull far beyond
What is this insanity
That threatens on all sides to consume me
Beyond you.

Brittany
Lavender and lime
Flowers in the sun
Pool parties, make-up
Boys and teddy bears
Girl turning woman
In the blink of an eye
Soft heart seeks You
Crumbles at others’ pain
Wanting to comfort
And take from them
Anything that would hurt.
Bubbling with joy…
No holding back
She lives the fullness
of You.

Confrontation (The Waiting)
Hold your breath
Take your chances
Lay it all on the line.
These words could cost you
Everything
Or they could bring
It back again
There’s no way of knowing
Until it’s gone
And received
What the repercussions are.
Fears race past rational
Thoughts, feeling,
Then anger and
The quest for justice
For right and truth
to prevail
and in the midst of it all
you feel sick.
Because you don’t want
To lose a friend
But if he’s not really there now,
What’s the point?
What’s there to lose?
Hold your breath
Take your chances
Lay it all on the line.
These words could cost you
Everything
Or they could bring
It back again
There’s no way of knowing
Until it’s gone
And received
What the repercussions are.
Fears race past rational
Thoughts, feeling,
Then anger and
The quest for justice
For right and truth
to prevail
and in the midst of it all

Because you don’t want
To lose a friend
But if he’s not really there now,
What’s the point?
What’s there to lose?
