your voice

A wait that brought me to my knees
So that I was able to shout to him to beg and plead
To hear your voice again will soften the fears that torment me every night
When I do not hear your angelic voice proclaim the sweet love that you feel for me
As I lay my head down to rest and feel your heart beat
Like the waves crashing against my chest
To feel your breath dance across my skin
Once more will be as the rising sun glistening across the sea
Your eyes will watch over me
Our hands will intertwine the moment that voice of yours breaks all sublime
When I hear your voice once more
My lips will tingle with the remembrance of the kiss
That for so long has lingered bringing me softening dreams
Of you in my arms
Your voice calms all
Your voice is what I need
For your voice proclaims
Your everlasting love that you feel for me.

a tale of a rent heart

the soft sound of the rain will remind you of my agonizing pain
you will see the rainbow reflect all the good times but at the end will find my heart rent in twain
the bird will sing a song full of sorrow
and on the morrow it will ring through your mind as the deathly hollows grip our once sacred time
a time that was full of laughter but now stands silent as the hills
no longer boasting joy from the beautiful mountain rills
emotion that only leads to commotion as i lay in front of the train
waiting to be freed from my desecrating pain
you will wait by the phone in vain as you wait for the call to free you from your self proclaimed trial
to step off the path of uncertainty and harbor from the ocean strain
alas i will remain on the buffeting waves of the storm until an angelic host rescues me from my prison of shame
and to tame the tempest that rends my heart in twain

i must have loved you before

maybe we were flowers, soaking up every ray of sun to grow one inch closer to one another
or maybe we were song birds flying high upon the wind and everynight in the trees i would sing you to sleep
whatever the truth is one thing is for sure
i've got this timeless place for you in my heart
how i could love you this much i don't know
but there is this ageless feeling that tells me more and more; i must have loved you before

maybe i was an ocean and you were the sandy beach living in it and i was fallin at your feet
maybe you were the moon and i was the just the dark living in your sweet light thanking god i was where you are
they say love is eternal, well i guess they must be right cause i've got this timeless place for you in my heart
how could i love you this much i don't know
there is this ageless feeling that tells me more and more
i must have loved you before

whenever you kiss me, well it feels like coming home
i've got this timeless place for you in my heart
how could i love you this much, baby i don't know
but there is this ageless feeling that tells me more and more
i must have loved you before

there is this ageless feeling that tells me more and more
i must have loved you before

a dream

i wake up with you by my side
the perfect girl in the perfect time
god must really love me
the love we share would be considered a crime to some
because we know no fear and take pride in that we are not crazy
its in this moment that i see not only god loves me but you love me as well
and now this is when i wake up
and to my dismay you are no where in sight
but god must love me for the reason you still love me
after all this time it has not costed us dime
for love is priceless and cannot be bought
but it will always be sought
every night i go back into that dream as i wake with you by my side
and every morning you are not by my side
but i know that you are watching me today
because there are holes in the floor of heaven
and your love is pouring down touching my lips
time is what seperates us, not distance, and soon enough you will take my name
i pray that we grow old together
no despair for no matter the fate, god must really love me
because there are holes in the floor of heaven
and your eyes watch over me as your love pours down

the bond of true love

is love just a four letter word?
or is it the indescribable feeling that builds between two hearts and souls that bursts at the first impact of a passionate kiss?
is love the war that rages to bring two undeniable beings together in the bonds of matramony?
or is it the double edge sword that fights for but defends ones heart agaisnt the uplifting but at times destructive power of love?
is love the force of good or the force of evil?
is love the long restless nights that the harps of the heart pluck their strings as the violins of the soul glide to teh longing for the embrace of love?
or is love the gunfire that bloodies the sun to imperfection causing it to cast a malicious shadow on that of a mans eyes shrowding out emotion?
is love the superhero in the fight or is love the weeping child alone in the night?
is love that which is tangible or what the heart concieves?
for one cannot control of who they fall in love with
to come love is what destroys a nation
to me love is the rain of beauty of the one meant to be

is true just a four letter word?
what is the meaning of true?
that is a question posed by many and answered by select few
the world wonders if true is a term that has meaning; placed before us doest true have a meaning?
is true the abandoned bell that no longer has a ring?
is true the flower that blooms late but has the most radiant beauty of all because it took a consolidated amount of time?
is true the music the deaf can hear or the wind in the trees that the blind can see?
or is true the bridle placed on emotion? or is true itself the most precious emotion?
is true the warmth that melts the ice around the conquered fear?
is true the battle that is not won?
or is true the quest that a brave knight must take to travel far in order to seek the most precious of victories?

are love and true both just four letter words?
or when melted together to form a bond nigh unbreakable do they become one?

true love is what beats in the veins
true love is not just a statement, it is a power from on high
that springs forth when called upon
true love is the two letter phrase that completes the symphony of the heart and the percussion of the soul; for it takes the instrument of the heart and the passion of the soul to create a blissful tone that grows stronger every time true love is found
true love is the knight that weilds the double edge sword
for a sword without a knight is but love alone and cannot defend his true love which he found in the most precious victory

true love is the most inspirational gift a man can have
for without a true woman, true love would sieze to exist

true love cannot be broken, true love uplifts the hopes of the knight and his princess
the symphony of the heart and soul play across any weeping distance;
keeping true love looking at the same moon every night until true love reunites

night sky

a pristine image is what makes the perfect night sky
it is a gateway of our love that cannot dim
time nor distance will never manage a worthy resistance
true loves kiss is the most powerful force of all
the night sky acts as romeo's crystal ball to gaze on his precious juliet in the confinement of his mind as the sun sets with a lofty glow juliet's heart begins to slow longing for the touch of her distant romeo
two places at once as two hearts combine to create a love blanketed underneath the artwork of the majestic night sky
every night of everyday the night sky makes an appearance only to be swept away into a new day that brings one closer to the everlasting treasure which brings both of us an eterinty of pleasure holding the one they love under the new artwork of each night sky knowing that for everyday to come each will be the others for every night sky to come

who we are

as sons of man we walk
as sons of god we talk
behold a royal army stands
to preach his word to every land
a black name tag we bear
with courage and honor and faith from above
small it may be but loud it shows forth
it is the battle cry of our royal army
letting the world know that we are missionaries

missionary shoes

your companions for the next two years

they become a part of you as you go everywhere

protection they provide, comfort they support

they willingly give that you may work

and wear them out as missionary shoes

memories they show, work they come to know

the gift is priceless but is evidence of the work

holes you wear in them, puddles they tramp through

never leaving your side, never complaining

you wake up and put on your shoes

not ordinary shoes but those of a missionary

those that have seen the plains of kansas

hiked the rocky mountains, and walked sea to sea

shoes that guide, direct, protect and serve a missionary of the lord

they suffer as christ, that we may not have to

and bring a missionary to those seeking truth

shoes they are, but everlasting, uncomplaining, hole bearing,
proud, honorable companions they become
that is a pair of missionary shoes

two years

two years is the time it takes to get lost in the work
two years it takes to find what you are searching for
two years brings hope into the eyes of many
two years and things change
people learn, people mature, people leave
two years some complain is forever
how can it be forever when it is not eternity?
two years i remember what i was doing
two years i will look back and say "no regrets"
two years is an eye blink
but also the amount of time in a breath
two years age will not matter
for two years i will grow in wisdom and maturity
two years is a learning stage
two years is a vision of what one seeks
two years and i may find it
for two years i will be two years older
two years is what it takes to become a thousand years wiser
two years you leave familiar for familiar
two years you leave home for home and then return home
two years is a blessing
two years and i will find myself at home
saying goodbye to my first hello but hello to my first goodbye
that is the time of two years

true action

Actions can be heard over that of the harshest word
One may speak but few will hear because of the ringing in their ear
That came from the one man band action marathon
To put on a suit and walk people will not hear
For the world will turn when they hear the sound of the black name tag echoes abroad
Jesus the Christ it states, I am a disciple it sings
No fool or coward can wear such a gift
A man, humility and charity is what it takes to be bestowed with the honor
To shout the action of wearing the black name tag

jesus the christ

Jesus the Christ understands all we may have loss
Which is why he hung on that cross
Not out of malice or guilt
But devotion to the Father and to show the world their loss
To return again he came
Once again he helped build from our loss
The Atonement is what it is called
Jesus the Christ just saved us all
