614. Dawn

When I take my last breath,

All the moments of this life shall seem,

As nothing more then the death,

Of a long, yet fleeting dream.

For dreams, they drift away,

As the mind awakens…fade to dust.

Lost in the eternal fray,

They perish, as all dreams must…

So we can greet the day.

611. Extant

Why are you screaming little one, little one?

Why are you hiding in the dark? Come. Come.

He can not hurt you…not anymore, not anymore.

The world left you for dead,

But God opened a door.

Why are you crying little one, little one?

Why are you huddled in the dark? Come. Come.

Time has passed by and the sun has arose…has arose.

The world left you for dead,

Yet the Light only grows!

Why are you frozen little one, little one?

Why are you standing in the dark? Come. Come.

Close your eyes, take a step, look and then see…look and see,

The world left you for dead,

Though you live eternally!

606. Only God

Nobody can help you.

Not her, not him, not me.

There is no one upon the earth,

Who can be there for you, fully.

Humans are mere mortals,

So don’t expect too much.

This life is simply a pathway,

To the next existence, as such.

No one has the answers,

Or can promise to stay.

For no one is given the choice,

To keep time from running astray.

Only God has answers,

And only He is there,

When everyone else goes away,

Only He will still see you, and care.

So sit with Him awhile,

And talk to Him of doubt.

Come to know that all will be well,

Within your spirit, and without.

Only God can help you.

Not her, not him, not me.

God is there…watching and waiting,

At the door of eternity.
