I’ll wait
for you
no matter how long
it may take.
I will always be by your side
when you need me and want me around.
For you are my heart
the only person I’ve ever loved so unconditionally.
You are the first one I want to see in the morning and the only
one I want to take my walks in the wood with.
So as I wait for you to catch up to me on this nice fall day
I can’t help but, wait and enjoy this quiet moment as I hear you approach me from the path we always take together.

So cold

outside yet I don’t let that coldness get to the warmth of who I am.
All around me people try to tear each other down just to feel like they are stronger or wiser than each other.
Some want to put on an act and be someone they are not just to fit in.
But, I feel like if you don’t like me for me than you are missing out, and this time of year just really builds my warmth up.
So in the cold you see my beauty and the stare of I’m not the one to mess with, but don’t let my armor fool you.
For I am someone you want to know and see just like the white snow that falls around me this time of year.

Quote of the day
I know
I shouldn’t say anything because it’s just not right to be mean.
So I stand here quiet as a mouse as you go on and on about whatever it is you so want to talk about.
I know that I’m focus on what needs to be down and that you won’t notice if I’m not reacting or paying attention to the things you think is important right now.
I want to be apart but, at the same time I just want to keep my distance and keep my life under wrap well you are so close to me.
I don’t want anyone knowing as much as I know about my life especially someone who tries to care but is so selfish the minute you need something done your tossing it all on someone else.
You say you are tired and overworked but it is the team around you working their butts off to get what needs to get done well you sit there smiling with the knowledge that you did something great.

Quote of the day
Oh
How I’ve overcome so much because of you that’s why I don’t want to give up even when it becomes too much.
I know this battle has been a rough one but, I’m willing to fight some more if it means getting to the place I know where I belong.
Oh how cold it can get when you choose to go down the path alone and the warmth is not in sight.

Quote of the day
Words
come and go from my brain and each day I wonder will I ever run out of things to say.
Some days it’s nice to just not say any words at all.
Just listening and watching others sing or talk gives me some peace of mind .
It’s like talking all the time just feels up the space where silence is but, sometimes it just nice to be in the silence.
To not feel pressured to say something more just to make sure the other person doesn’t feel ignored.
Yet, It’s nice to hear what others have to say and just sit back and not have to join in the conversion for you have things to do and talking sometimes takes your focus off the task ahead.
So words please come and go for I know when you come it will be good and when you go that gives me time to work things out so when you come back what I say will be so much more intense and interesting to hear and read.

Quote of the day
Slow
down they said for life wasn’t going anywhere faster than it had been in the last week or so.
I knew that there was so much I had to do in this lifetime and I knew that my time was limited.
But, still they wanted me to slow down and work to hard.
For at the end of the day it’s you that suffers not those that overwork you and cares about nothing but the end game that only makes them look good.
I want to slow down and do right but I feel like if I do than I am letting someone down and well lately it’s getting harder to care about what others want when no one is looking out for me but me.

Only

You can fill this empty space I’ve had since I could remember
at first I thought it could be filled by worldly things but nothing kept that space filled.
Until one day I knew not what to do next with the life I had made for myself from the choices I had made on my own.
So I gave my life to the lord and I was saved and everything I did or listened to felt heighten and the empty space inside of me that only he could fill was filled and overflowing.

Quote of the day
Am I
to know how things will become when I make the right steps that need to be taken at this point in my life.
I know there is something more for me to do but, I am stuck at a crossroad with no idea which way to go.
Mornings come and go and afternoons seem like they pass too slowly.
evenings and nights seem too long and tiring and yet I’m not doing anything that could help me spend my time doing something meaningful.
To see the problem so clearly but not have a solution to solve it makes things so frustrating.
Yet I have hope that it will work out in the end because I will find the strength to get out before this bridge crumbles on its own.
