I Take Each Day 

                                             by Misty

 

I take each day without knowing what will really come.

I take each day just worrying if I will ever return home.

In the many days in my life the Lord has come to show

That no matter where you are going you will always have a home

You will be taken care of and the only guide is Him.

 

I take each day step by step as he guides me through my life

I take each day just wondering if I will ever lose that sight.

 

In the many days in my life the Lord has come to show

That no matter where you are going you will always have a home

You will be taken care of and the only guide is Him.

 

I take each day just hoping that I will not let Him down.

I take each day and try so hard to never see Him frown.

 

In the many days in my life the Lord has come to show

That no matter where you are going you will always have a home

You will be taken care of and the only guide is Him.

 

A young woman one time told me that she was lonely in the world

She asked me just this question and it caught me by surprise

“When will I have a father and where can I call home?”

I simply told this young woman the only thing she needed to know

 

In the many days in my life the Lord has come to show

That no matter where you are going you will always have a home

You will be taken care of and the only guide is Him.

 

I see this young woman here from time to time

And I always wonder how she is doing and all the things she’s done

She tells me when I see her that the Lord is now

guiding her and everything is fine.

 

In the many days in my life the Lord has come to show

That no matter what you go through you should always know

He will always be your father and you will always have a home.

 

 

 

 

 

  Sometimes

 

 

Sometimes life seems to just go wrong, life

seems to be turn upside down

Sometimes we feel that everyone we see gives

us nothing but a frown.

Sometimes we never really give our best

because we know that no one cares.

Sometimes we feel that no matter what

we do, we’re still climbing endless stairs.

Sometimes life just seems that nothing else

could possibly go wrong

And the next thing you are thinking

is here we go again.

Sometimes life just isn’t easy and I know

no one said it would be

but we don’t like living life like this and

we simply want to be free.

I know that many times in life we say

to ourselves “Why me?”

Sometimes there is no real answer

to why when things go wrong we

feel so much pain,

The only answer or solution is sometimes

we don’t realize all that we can gain.

Not every heartache or misfortune is here

to just cause us all that hurting,

Sometimes we don’t realize that in

fact we are really learning

God has a plan and sometimes it’s not

so clear to see just what he is doing.

God never lets us hurt more than

we can handle he knows what we can take

Sometimes we just have to trust him

and say Lord, I am giving you the

steering wheel and Lord you know

as well as I do that you already know my true fate!

I may make the wrong decisions but

they are already in your plan

And you know where I am headed

so please Lord, just lend a helping hand.

                                     I’m Sorry For My Father

I’m sorry I’m not the perfect child

But I've tried my very best.

I have even tried to change just who I am

Just to finally pass your test.

I know I wasn't wanted you never asked for

Me you said, but reality stays the same

I’m here where I always will be.

I’m sorry that life didn't go your way

But I just want you to know

I love you anyway through all the hard times

You put me through.

For all the painful things deep down inside,

Feelings I always tried to hide.

The things I wish I could forget,

The harsh words that you always said.

From that child that you regret and the path that you chose,

And all your problems what they seem.

From the harsh words from your mouth,

This is life and this is what you get!

Sitting Alone

                                       

I sit alone in my room and wonder

what I have always done.

I have always tried so hard to love you,

But you made it so it wasn’t always fun.

I never did understand why you always

treated me like you did.

I was always treated like

the ugly duckling

The only screwed up kid.

I never understood why you always

 made me feel this way.

 

Why I was always unwanted

each and every day.

I always tried to help you and

do just what I was told.

Nothing I ever did was good enough

and it’s getting really old.

I always thought you hated me

at least that’s how I felt

 

Sometimes I wished that you

would recognize me for me

But all I ever got as a kid was you

screwed up and I’m gonna get the belt.

The only thing I learned from you was

that words could really hurt you.

Sometimes I would sit and say that stupid

nursery rhyme over and over again

“Sticks and stones may break my bones

but words will never hurt me.”

Whoever came up with that nursery rhyme

has certainly never lived with you.

I used to think that it was my fault

the way you made me feel

And then I had to realize that you

were the one with the problem

And somehow I was just gonna

have to learn to deal

I’ve learned that you can really tear someone down,

and hurt them with just the words you say.

 

I talked to an old friend of mine and

she said that life is just too short

She told me that you might

not really like someone

and they may have really made you hurt.

But that you just don’t realize just

whom they really were until they’re totally gone

And then you feel there wasn’t proper

 closure to have never said certain crucial things.

So I’m writing you this poem to

let you know exactly how I feel

If you were to die today I

 would just want you to know

that even through all the things you put

me through I will love you anyways.

My Other Half

                 

 

The only thing in my life that's

ever been the same

is no longer in my life to guide me

through each day.

I seem to always miss her in each

and every way.

Standing close together we

were not afraid.

She was the best friend you

could only imagine

She was always there for me.

Now she is gone and oh so far away.

I wish that I could just see her

and make things go back to the way they were.

Hand in hand heart to heart

The way they were right from the start.

I know she will always be there

She will always be in my heart.

Even though I still love her

Distance has made us grow apart.

I wish that I could hug her

and hold her in my arms.

We could sit and talk for hours

and she could tell me about

her life from a far.

We were never lovers in

a sexual sense

Even though some always

thought we might.

We were always closer mentally

than our other counterparts.

We knew everything that made

the other tick

and what made our insides work.

We knew everything about one another

and no one has ever come that close.

I miss her oh so much today

I can't wait for it to be like that again.

Friends Forever just like we said as little girls

but now we are grown women in

a completely different world!
