De Engel

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

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…

Ξ May 4th, 2007 | → 0 Comments | ∇ encouragement |

Dream like tomorrow is forever.

Dream like today is your last.

Dream like yesterdays failure never happened.  

 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  

Dream like your last breathe is now at this moment.

Dream like the critics have lost their voice.
