Just In Case.......in memory of 911

 



Just In Case


Just in case tomorrow never comes
Just in case the sun forgets to shine
Just in case the world is drowned in tears
I'm writing this to say what's on my mind.

I hope you all have love living inside you
I hope you all have peace within your soul
I hope you all come through the fires now burning
Refined and finished, shining like pure gold.

This life is never promised to the careless
And those that think that this is all there'll be
For when this life ends, be it short or lengthy
That's when you'll walk into eternity.

So hug your friends and family 'fore tomorrow
And kneel your knees and pray away your strife
And give your soul to the only One can save it
For holding to this world can't save your life.

Tonight  might be the last night you lay dreaming
Today just may have been your final day
So leave nothing undone that needs the doing
Before the angels carry you away.

The world will never end, the scriptures tell us
But will be formed and shaped and made anew
But just because the earth will live forever
Doesn't mean that it's the same for you.

Over twenty years ago came September the Eleventh
A morning like all others come before
Nobody knew when they awoke that morning
That they would never walk back through their doors.

My heart is full of longing for my Savior
My soul is full of sorrow for mankind
So please tonight, make sure your souls are righteous
And let Love fill your hearts while there's still time.

The Life and Death of the Sun

 







The Life and Death of the Sun



The cold autumn sun
            Is fading so slow,
She's looking for something
            She may never know.

            A room full of darkness
           That she can peek in
That's swept clean of clutter
            By her old friend, the wind.

Blowing steady like memories
           That cannot be seen
           Like the tasting of kisses 
           Like a hot summer's dream.

When the winter creeps in
           And the light crawls away
          Then the owls and the shadows
           To the woods come to play.

          There the sun rests in waiting
           For the night to pass by
          And they hold and caress her
         And she tries not to cry.

        But the sun, like the moon
      Needs to shine to be heard
      Like the growl of the tiger
       And the song of a bird.

     She is lonely in wanting
     And she shivers and sighs
     Watching, yearning for dawning
     With the Earth in her eyes.

     Then, in rushes of morning
     She awakes full of light
     Leaves still falling like teardrops
     From the soft Autumn night.

There ahead lies the Winter
There behind Summer's heat
Spring is only faint memory
And the fall's in retreat.

But the sun seems immortal
Be it cold, hot or rain
And she shines up the darkness
With it's pathos and pain.

Looking for what, she knows not
But she looks evermore
In the morning and noon time
And the dark of the door.

But she's fading in Autumn
Like a leaf in the wind
And the snow, soon will chill her
Till the Spring comes again.

Myths are spun on her shining
Tales are told 'bout her spark
Men believe she's a Ruler
But she follows the dark.

And one day, she will burn out
On that day, no one knows
And the night will reign endless
In the world when she goes.
