Feelings

We all have feelings some good some bad
today I find myself sitting in the cold rain
waiting for you
Yesterday I felt all the pain you have sent my way
Yes I did fell sad knowing tomorrow would bring
only sorrow without you
The fear of you being near and yet so far away is unbearable
I have no time  to borrow no time  for sorrow
There is only a empty space were my heart and soul used to be
For now there is no one to grow old with and
at night the darkness seems so long over coming
the daylight with its impending doom.
You have  gave me a fight for a better life with no one in control
but me, myself and I.
Feelings of what should have been or could have been are gone
All I have  is a feeling of being all alone and no one to call my own.
Feelings change as we grow older what was important takes on a  new
meaning it seems at times we still find ourselves stumbling around for
the answers to life and wondering why?
I seem to find my answers when I humble myself and quit carrying
the load and let others help especially the Good Lord Above!

It's True

The Dogwood Tree

I wonder have  you ever notice how small the dogwood tree grows?

I wonder do you ever think this was the tree that Jesus die on?

They are so beautiful with their white blooms.

They grow in rows and rows through out our mountains.

The story behind them is the most important

it should always loom in the back of our minds

on this tree our Lord was crucified and after three days

rose again to free us from sin.

They should never be destroyed for this reason

He is the true reason for this Easter season

Someday he will come back

and you will see

This is the reason the dogwood grows so small

and never will ever grow tall and strong again.
He made them this way so no other man

should die on this precious dogwood tree.
