" It's never too late to start. The past has passed. Start where you are, because that is your only option.
Anything is possible (with God)... because 'impossible' is only an opinion - not a fact. "

Lord, be the eyes for me... cause I can't see beyond, Today!

strong · when you think it's too late · staring at the finished page before me · all the damage now so clear and evident · thinking about the dreaded task in store for me · a pit of fear at the thought of my amends · hoping that this step will help restore me · to face my past and ask for forgiveness · cleaning up my dirty side of this unswept street · could this be the beginning of the end

courtesy · for other's flaws · kindness · it's not that hard · self- restraint · of tongue and pen · inventory · my daily friend · analysis · let down your guard · look in the mirror · what do you see · the shattered fortress · that once bound me · fateful ascent · through darkest fires · i've found the path · to take me higher · you're smart enough · for me to trust · go live your life now · just keep these steps · in your life · and you'll know how · if you're not sure · just ask yourself · have i done to them · as i would have them do to me · look in the mirror · what's that you see · the shattered fortress · fly now be free · fateful ascent · through darkest fires · i've found the path · to take me higher · i once thought it better · to be right · but now i have finally · seen the light · sometimes you've got to be wrong · and learn from mistakes · i live with serenity now · not self-righteous hate · "receive" · now that you can see all you have done · it's time to take that step · into the kingdom · all your sins will help to make you strong · and help you break right through the prison wall · keep all of me · the desires · that once burned me deep inside · help me live today · and help to give me grace · to carry out your way · i am ready · help me be all i can be · i am ready · help guide me · and keep me free · "responsible" · i am responsible · when anyone, anywhere · reaches out for help · i want my hand to be there · i am responsible · when anyone, anywhere · reaches out for help · i want my hand to be there · when i fell from grace · i never realized · how deep the flood was around me · a man whose life was toil · was like a kettle left to boil · and the water left these scars on me · i know now who i am · if only for a while · i recognize the changes · i feel like i did · before the magic wore thin · and the "baptism of stains" began · they used to say · i was nowhere, man · heading down was my destiny · but yesterday, i swear · that was someone else, not me · here i stand at the crossroads edge · afraid to reach out for eternity · one step, when i look down · i see someone else, not me · looking back · looking back and i see, someone else · all my life · they said i was going down · but i'm still standing · stronger, proud · and today i know · there's so much more i can be · i think i finally, understand · from where i stand at the crossroads edge · there's a path leading out to sea · and from somewhere deep in my mind · sirens sing out loud · songs of doubt as only they know how · but one glance back reminds, and i see · someone else, not me · i keep looking back · at someone else... me? · "the crimson sunrise ~ innocence" · i remember a time · in my frail, virgin mind · watched the crimson sunrise · imagined what it might find · life was filled with wonder · i felt the warm wind blow · i must explore the boundries · transcend the depth of winter's snow · innocence caressing me · i never felt so young before · there was so much life in me · still i longed to search for more · but those days are gone now · changed like a leaf on a tree · blown away forever · into the cool autumn breeze · the snow has now fallen · and my sun's not so bright · i struggle to hold on · with the last of my might · in my den of inequity · viciousness and subtlety · struggle to ease the pain · struggle to find the sane · ignorance surrounding me · i've never been so filled with fear · all my life's been drained from me · the end is drawing near · "carpe diem ~ seize the day" · i'll always remember · the chill of november · the news of the fall · the sounds in the hall · the clock on the wall · ticking away · seize the day · i heard him say · life will not always be this way · look around · hear the sounds · cherish your life while you're still around · gather ye rosebuds while ye may · while time is still aflying · and this same flower that smiles today · tomorrow will be dying · we can learn from the past · but those days are gone · we can hope for the future · but there might not be one · the words stuck in my mind · alive from what i've learned · i have to seize the day · to home i returned · preparing for her flight · i held with all my might · fear in my deepest fright · she walked into the night · she turned for one last look · she looked me in the eye · i said i love you... goodbye · "the darkest of winters ~ another world" · so far or so it seems · all is lost with nothing fulfilled · off the pages and the t.v. screen · another world · where nothing's true · tripping through the life fantastic · lose a step and never get up · left alone with a cold blank stare · i feel like giving up · i was blinded by a paradise · utopia high in the sky · a dream that only drowned me · deep in sorrow, wondering why · oh come, let us adore him · abuse, and then ignore him · no matter what, don't let him be · let's feed upon his misery · then string up for all the world to see · i'm sick of all you hypocrites · holding me at bay · and i don't need your sympathy · to get me through the day · seasons change, and so can i · hold on boy, no time to cry · untie these strings, i'm climbing down · i won't let them push me away · oh come let us adore him · abuse and then ignore him · no matter what, don't let him be · let's feed upon his misery · now it's time for them · to deal with me · "the inevitable summer ~ the crimson sunset" · i'm much wiser now · a lifetime of memories · run through my head · they taught me how · for better or worse, alive or dead · i realize, there's no turning back · life goes on, the offbeaten track · i sit down with my son · set to see the crimson sunset · gather ye rosebuds while ye may · many years have come and gone · i've lived my life, but now must move on · gather ye rosebuds while ye may · he is my only one · now that my time has come · now that my life is done · we look into the sun · seize the day, and don't you cry · now it's time to say goodbye · even though i'll be gone · i will live on · live on · "the end" · sparkle, my scenery · with turquoise waterfalls · with beauty underneath · the ever free · tuck me in · beneath the blue · beneath the pain · beneath the rain · goodnight kiss · for this child in time · swinging glade, my lullaby · on the shore · we sat and hoped · under the same pale moon · who's guiding light chose you · chose you all · be still my soul · you're home · oh, when did you become so cold? · the glade will keep on ascending · all you need is to feel my love · search for beauty · find your shore · try to save them all · bleed no more · you have such oceans within · in the end i will always love you · "the beginning" · i close my eyes · the lantern dies · the scent of awakening · wild honey and dew · childhood gaze · woods and lakes · streams of silver · toys of olden days · meadows of heaven, meadows of heaven · the flowers of wonder · and the hidden treasures · in the meadow of life · my acre of heaven · a 5 year old winter heart · in a place called home · sailing the waves of past · meadows of heaven, meadows of heaven · rocking chair without a dreamer · how would innocence without laughter· sandbox without toy soldiers · yuletide without the flight · dream of the kites · flowers withered · treasures stay hidden · until i see · the first star of fall · i fall asleep · and see it all · mother's care · and color of the kites · heaven, oh · meadows of heaven, meadows of heaven, meadows of heaven · edenbeam, my sunflower fields · the gospels · for it is written · man shall not live by bread alone · but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of god · love · jn 3:16-18 / 6:35 / 11:25-26 / 14:6 // mt 5,6,7 · blessed are the poor in spirit · for theirs is the kingdom of heaven · blessed are those who mourn · for they shall be comforted · blessed are the meek · for they shall inherit the earth · blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness · for they shall be filled · blessed are the merciful · for they shall obtain mercy · blessed are the pure in heart · for they shall see god · blessed are the peacemakers · for they shall be called sons of god · blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake · for theirs is the kingdom of heaven · blessed are you when they revile and persecute you · and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for my sake · rejoice and be exceedingly glad · for great is your reward in heaven · for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you · you are the salt of the earth · but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? · it is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men · you are the light of the world · a city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden · nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket · but on a lampstand · and it gives light to all who are in the house · let your light so shine before men · that they may see your good works and glorify your father in heaven · do not think that i came to destroy the law or the prophets · i did not come to destroy but to fulfill · for assuredly i say to you · till heaven and earth pass away · one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled · whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments · and teaches men so · shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven · but whoever does and teaches them · he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven · for i say to you · that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and pharisees · you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven · you have heard that it was said to those of old · you shall not murder · and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment · but i say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause · shall be in danger of the judgment · and whoever says to his brother, 'raca' shall be in danger of the council · but whoever says, 'you fool' shall be in danger of hell fire · therefore if you bring your gift to the altar · and there remember that your brother has something against you · leave your gift there before the altar · and go your way · first be reconciled to your brother · and then come and offer your gift · agree with your adversary quickly · while you are on the way with him · lest your adversary deliver you to the judge · the judge hand you over to the officer · and you be thrown into prison · assuredly, i say to you · you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny · you have heard that it was said to those of old · you shall not commit adultery · but i say to you · that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart · if your right eye causes you to sin · pluck it out and cast it from you · for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish · than for your whole body to be cast into hell · and if your right hand causes you to sin · cut it off and cast it from you · for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish · than for your whole body to be cast into hell · furthermore it has been said · whoever divorces his wife · let him give her a certificate of divorce · but i say to you · that whoever divorces his wife for any reason except sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery · and whoever marries a woman who is divorced commits adultery · again you have heard that it was said to those of old · you shall not swear falsely · but shall perform your oaths to the lord · but i say to you · do not swear at all · neither by heaven · for it is God's throne · nor by the earth · for it is his footstool · nor by jerusalem · for it is the city of the great king · nor shall you swear by your head · because you cannot make one hair white or black · but let your 'yes' be 'yes' · and your 'no', 'no' · for whatever is more than these is from the evil one · you have heard that it was said · an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth · but i tell you not to resist an evil person · but whoever slaps you on your right cheek · turn the other to him also · if anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic · let him have your cloak also · and whoever compels you to go one mile · go with him two · give to him who asks you · and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away · you have heard that it was said · you shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy · but i say to you · love your enemies · bless those who curse you · do good to those who hate you · and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you · that you may be sons of your Father in heaven · for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good · and sends rain on the just and on the unjust · for if you love those who love you · what reward have you? · do not even the tax collectors do the same? · and if you greet your brethern only · what do you do more than others? · do not even the tax collectors do so? · therefore you shall be perfect · just as your father in heaven is perfect · take heed that you do not do your charitable deeds before men · to be seen by them · otherwise you have no reward from your father in heaven · therefore, when you do a charitable deed · do not sound a trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets · that they may have glory from men · assuredly, i say to you · they have their reward · but when you do a charitable deed · do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing · that your charitable deed may be in secret · and your father who sees in secret will himself reward you openly · and when you pray · you shall not be like the hypocrites · for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets · that they may be seen by men · assuredly, i say to you · they have their reward · but you · when you pray · go into your room · and when you have shut your door · pray to your father who is in the secret place · and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly · and when you pray · do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do · for they think that they will be heard for their many words · therefore do not be like them · for your father knows the things you have need of before you ask him · in this manner, therefore, pray · our father in heaven · hallowed be your name · your kingdom come · your will be done · on earth as it is in heaven · give us this day our daily bread · and forgive us our debts · as we forgive our debtors · and do not lead us into temptation · but deliver us from the evil one · for yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever · amen · for if you forgive men their trespasses · your heavenly father will also forgive you · but if you do not forgive men their trespasses · neither will your father forgive your trespasses · moreover, when you fast · do not be like the hypocrites · with a sad countenance · for they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting · assuredly, i say to you · they have their reward · but you, when you fast · anoint your head and wash your face · so that you do not appear to men to be fasting · but to your father who is in the secret place · and your father who sees in secret will reward you openly · do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth · where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal · but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven · where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal · for where your treasure is · there your heart will be also · the lamp of the body is the eye · if therefore your eye is good · your whole body will be full of light · but if your eye is bad · your whole body will be full of darkness · if therefore the light that is in you is darkness · how great is that darkness! · no one can serve two masters · for either he will hate the one and love the other · or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other · you cannot serve god and mammon (money) · therefore i say to you · do not worry about your life · what you will eat or what you will drink · nor about your body · what you will put on · is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? · look at the birds of the air · for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns · yet your heavenly father feeds them · are you not of more value than they? · which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? · so why do you worry about clothing? · consider the lilies of the field · how they grow · they neither toil nor spin · and yet i say to you that even solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these · now if god so clothes the grass of the field · which today is · and tomorrow is thrown into the oven · will he not much more clothe you, o you of little faith? · therefore do not worry, saying · what shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or what shall we wear? · for after all these things the gentiles seek · for your heavenly father knows that you need all these things · but seek first the kingdom of god and his righteousness · and all these things shall be added to you · therefore do not worry about tomorrow · for tomorrow will worry about its own things · sufficient for the day is its own trouble · judge not · that you be not judged · for with what judgment you judge · you will be judged · and with the measure you use · it will be measured back to you · and why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye · but do not consider the plank in your own eye? · or how can you say to your brother · let me remove the speck from your eye · and look, a plank is in your own eye? · hypocrite! · first remove the plank from your own eye · and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye · do not give what is holy to the dogs · nor cast your pearls before swine · lest they trample them under their feet · and turn and tear you in pieces · ask, and it will be given to you · seek, and you will find · knock, and it will be opened to you · for everyone who asks receives · and he who seeks finds · and to him who knocks it will be opened · or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? · or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent? · if you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children · how much more will your father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him! · therefore, whatever you want men to do to you · do also to them · for this is the law and the prophets · enter by the narrow gate · for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction · and there are many who go in by it · because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life · and there are few who find it · beware of false prophets· who come to you in sheep's clothing · but inwardly they are ravenous wolves · you will know them by their fruits · do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? · even so, every good tree bears good fruit · but a bad tree bears bad fruit · a good tree cannot bear bad fruit · nor can a bad tree bear good fruit · every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire · therefore by their fruits you will know them · not everyone who says to me, lord, lord · shall enter the kingdom of heaven · but he who does the will of my father in heaven · many will say to me in that day · lord, lord, have we not prophesied in your name? · cast out demons in your name? · and done many wonders in your name? · and then i will declare to them · i never knew you · depart from me, you who practice lawlessness! · therefore whoever hears these sayings of mine · and does them · i will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock · and the rain descended · the floods came · and the winds blew and beat on that house · and it did not fall · for it was founded on the rock · but everyone who hears these sayings of mine · and does not do them · will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand · and the rain descended · the floods came · and the winds blew and beat on that house · and it fell · and great was its fall · why are you fearful, o you of little faith? · son, be of good cheer · your sins are forgiven you · those who are well have no need of a physician · but those who are sick · but go and learn what this means · i desire mercy and not sacrifice · for i did not come to call the righteous · but sinners, to repentance · according to your faith let it be to you · the harvest truly is plentiful · but the laborers are few · therefore pray the lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest · and as you go · preach, saying · the kingdom of heaven is at hand · freely you have received · freely give · a disciple is not above his teacher · nor a servant above his master · for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed · nor hidden that will not be known ·
