I Will Be Praying

I will be praying

I will be saying a little prayer for you tonight
Because life might not go perfect but its going to be alright.
I will be thinking of you day by day
Reminding you that you are going to be ok.
I look at you for a long while.
You are as bright as a star and make me smile.
There are days when life seems like its not on your side and you might ask yourself why.
That’s when you need me the most when it looks like you can’t try.
I’ll be there even on your worst day.
I’ll be there when things might not go your way.
I’ve seen all the places you’ve been
Even on your worst days when you think you just couldn’t win.
There are days when you won’t want to hold anyone’s hand.
That’s when I’ll be there for you because you’ll need someone to help you understand.
There are times when all we can do is pray.
That is when we have to be the strongest when things might not go your way.
I say this from my heart
Life gets a little bumpy sometimes but that may only be a start.
You can do this
I know you can
God is looking down on us and he has a bigger plan
So when life isn’t perfect please look up at the sky.
I’m only there to encourage you even if you start to cry.
It will be the only thing I have from above.
The strength I got from Him is rapped in His love.

Time Will Heal Me

Time Will Heal Me

I need some answers when I begin to ask why
But I don’t want anyone to see me if I begin to cry.
I needed to say something but couldn’t find the right word.
I was trying to understand something that I heard.
I missed my chance and needed to say.
But I could never get the words to come out the right way.
People try to tell me things that I will never quite understand.
But things never seem to go exactly as I planned.
I want to thank them but can’t seem to get there.
And I don’t want people to think that I just don’t care.
I want people to know that I appreciate them and all that they try and do.
I just don’t know how to feel and its all pretty knew.
I just don’t know how anyone that goes through this is supposed to act
And I’m just trying to keep in tact.
I don’t know if I can focus for a long while
And its hard to keep my head up and its even hard to smile.
I loved him with all my heart
And in my mind we will never be apart.

Thanks

Thanks

I wanted to say thanks to all my friends
You were there when I needed you most.
Its nice I can depend on you
Its been hard for me to carry on
I’m trying to deal with things and I pretend to be strong.
Inside I’m hurting
I just want him back.
But God doesn’t make mistakes
He kept him on track.
He made us have tears and I have to weep
It keeps me up at night and sometimes its hard to sleep.
Its hard to keep going and I don’t like to complain
But its hard to keep going I don’t think I’ll ever be the same.
It hurts inside me
Will this pain go away?
It is here in the morning and day after day.
I need to remember.
All I want to do is write my thoughts down.
But the words can’t make you come back.
I just want you to be around.

The Angels Are With You

The Angels Are With You Now

Please help me as I try and understand.
I hear your voice but cannot hold your hand.
You are not here
And I am really sad.
Its hard to keep on going and at times I get really mad.
I want to see you
I want to hug you again
But some things in life aren’t easy for me to understand.
You were the greatest man I could ever know.
And people try to give me comfort as they tell me where you might go.
Its not fair that you had to leave when there was just too much more for me to say.
And it takes a great deal for me to carry on with my day.
I guess they needed an angel in heaven, just one more.
The angels were calling you to join them
And you were ready to knock on their door.
I wanted some answers as I looked toward the sky.
Because its hard to talk to people
I don’t want them to see me cry.
I don’t want to be with anyone
I just want to scream out loud.
I hope I made an impression on you and made you proud.
You were a good man
You have seen where I’ve been
Even on my worst days you were there when I just couldn’t win.
Thanks for being there when I was little and got sick
It was comforting to know you were by my side.
You saw me through my schooling and saw how hard I tried.
Because I wasn’t like every other kid and you didn’t care.
I would always hold your hand because you were always there.
I want you to know that God had a plan for me and you were it.
He saw that I could do anything and taught me never to quit.
You will be in my heart always and forever.
You were there to talk to even on my worst day
You just were there to make everything ok
I wish I knew how to be a little stronger.
All I wanted is to be with him a little longer.
When people see me I try not to fall apart.
But you will always be a person that is close to my heart.
I am proud of you and the life you have lead.
And I would never have wanted any other grandpa instead.

To My Grandpa

You have been through a lot
And seen most of the world.
You were there for me when I needed you the most.
I love you and you have always been close.
I need you everyday of my life.
You are the one who keeps me going.
You have made me strong.
And you always gave me a shoulder to cry on.
It won't be the same without you.
You taught me a great deal in life I look up to you so much.
You never knew that was my heart you touched.
You are in my heart always and forever.
I loved your stories you told.
I never saw that you had gotten old.
Thanks for being there when I was little and got sick.
I loved that you saw me and stuck by my side until I got well.
It was nice to have you by myside.
You saw me through my schooling and saw how hard I tryed.
Because I wasn't like every other kid and you didn't care.
I just loved that you stuck by my side and were always there.
You were there to encourage and talk to, even on my worst day.
You just were there and seemed to make everything ok.
You encouraged me in everything I'd do
I hope you know that I love you.

When I needed somebody

When I needed somebody

You would encourage me and told me I had a plan
You said you are there for me when others might not understand.
I said in life I might not want to be.
You saw me through some hard times
When it was tough to be me.
I know can make it
I just need a little more time.
It might take a little more.
I just need someone to help guide me through the right door.
It is easy to open for others
But I can’t seem to find the right key
I need to step inside
Before the door closes on me.
I might need to find another way.
Please help me along so I can get there someday.
Because some days are harder than others
But I will never quit
I need to find the right piece to my puzzle
One that will actually fit
My life is confusing and it has some twists and it may have a turn
Because some things in life are harder to learn
There are things in life that are hard to take
And some habits of taking my time will be harder to break.
I know I can make it in order to win
Please show me where to start so I can begin.

A Heart of Stone

A Heart Of Stone

Little one you have a heart of stone.
We are all praying for you and reminding you
That you are not doing this alone.
Your strength is getting stronger day by day.
May you let Him guide you
And let nothing stand in your way.
I believe in Him
He has a bigger plan
There are some things in life that we can’t understand.
There are miracles out there and you are one.
You have started on a road that is bumpy and long.
And one day it will be on a road that you will want to be on.
Don’t give up
That’s all you can do
We all are here and praying for you.
You are on a race and I know you can win
Down a road that when you look back you can see where you’ve been
I’ve met you and you are a strong little thing
You don’t know how much happiness you will bring.
Life may always have a twist and a turn
That is how God teaches us and how we learn.
Getting through the hard things is what God has in store.
He wants to show us a little more.
An appreciation for life is for everyone to see.
That is how great God is and all He can be.
I know you will make it.
I have known
You have a solid heart
And its made of stone.
