Angels streaming down to intercede
Meeting you to take your needs
The righteous do not have to plead:
“God send me and angel to set me free”
Angels to love me when I’m all alone.
Kiss my forehead and catch the tears I dare to show.
Cover me with encouragement as I face the stress at home.
I’ve been taking notes from you, and grown…
Angelic wings to call my own.

Dead men don’t scar
A scar four inches long, a cut once two inches deep
Premonition of tomorrow’s struggle
Makes it so hard to see…
I call each scar my friend, only an enemy when wounds were raw
Something I’ve overcome and came out alive
Death I never saw.
Welcome each memory as a bittersweet blessing,
Like dew dripping from a poisoned flower; because it’s not the struggle…
But the victory that’s impressing.
One becomes a warrior for the people,
When death mopes away with only a taste of blood
Just examine every scar under this steeple
Because last time I looked around life’s battlefield, I realized
The most damaged saints led millions by a testimony…
And obtained their victory after many tries
Do not cry, I beg. But wear your scars like pearls of blood
Scars are trophies of the things that failed to kill you,
Show the world what you overcome with love.
The darkness slashed your heart, your wrist and face.
How willing are you to wipe the blood
And thank God for another day?
I promise you – what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger inside
The weak are the ones who’ve avoided life’s lessons
And came away with nothing but a paper cut of lies
Think twice when wishing upon a star
Thank God for the trials of life – because:
Dead men don’t scar.

Dream like tomorrow is forever.
Dream like today is your last.
Dream like yesterdays failure never happened. Â
 Dream like change is inches away.
Dream like hate is miles from home.
Dream like rejection is never the issue of where you go.
Dream like your imagination ran wild.
Dream like mockery is locked in its cage.
Dream like evil is all but extinct.
Dream like encouragement is alive and singing Â
Dream like your last breathe is now at this moment.
Dream like the critics have lost their voice. Â
