A Get Together Kind of Day
Well did you know that Sarah was pregnant?
Did you know your mom was talking about moving south?
Can't believe it's been another year since your dad passed
Can't believe Little Missy didn't smack Jr in the mouth
Well did you know that Mary's moving on?
And grandma has that weird surgery planned?
John has bought that money pit we all warned him 'bout
Jamie better get a-hold on the wild spending man
It's going to be a large get together
It's going to happen no matter the weather
A gathering of all those we need to catch up with
After such a long time, it's been too long and too far away
It's a great big get together kind of day
Did you know Luke is headed to basic?
This year they're talking the season may not even start
It's good to see your dad is doin’ so good without your mom
But can't believe Jen's still not coming, bless her broken heart
It's going to be a large get together
It's going to happen no matter the weather
A gathering of all those we need to catch up with
After such a long time, too long and too far away
It's a great big get together kind of day
I just wanna sit with you and break the old routine
And catch up on news and plans about any and everything
I just wanna sit back, relax, stay in your presence just a lil while
Try the cake and some watermelon and just let my soul smile
Watch the kids run 'round and take the moments shared to reminesce
Catch a break with those we always forget just how much that we all miss
It's going to be a large get together
It's going to happen no matter the weather
A gathering of all those we need to catch up with
After such a long time, too long and too far away
It's a great big get together kind of day
The Better Me
Can you hear the roar of the coming rush of praise?
Can you feel the rush of the coming roar of praise?
Do you know the endless seasons, the countless reasons, the purpose of my limited days?
To say to those who need encouragement that they have a purpose to be
To show those in need the compassion that led my Lord to bleed
To be the only light that someone, somewhere, may every see
To be the best that I alone could never be, just to be the better me
Can you tell the story you don't know how the middle goes?
Can you share the love that lets hearts like flowers grow?
Can you be vulnerable to the pain of loneliness, to the death of self, that seems only Jesus knows?
To say to those who need encouragement that they have a purpose to be
To show those in need the compassion that led my Lord to bleed
To be the only light that someone, somewhere, may every see
To be the best that I alone could never be, just to be the better me
Hold fast to hope, hold fast to faith
Hold fast to love, hold fast to the Fathers perfect grace
Hold fast to hope, hold fast to faith
Hold fast to love, hold fast to the Fathers perfect grace
Unswerving, though undeserving, until we see His shining face!
Hold fast to hope, hold fast to faith
Hold fast to love, hold fast to the Fathers perfect grace
To say to those who need encouragement that they have a purpose to be
To show those in need the compassion that led my Lord to bleed
To be the only light that someone, somewhere, may every see
To be the best that I alone could never be, just to be the better me
The feel of your hips in my hands still holds my thoughts imagination
​
The feel of your lips still demands my thoughts hold you in infatuation
​
The feel of your thoughts bringing light and love to every situation...
​
...feels perfect, like the thought of you, of which I know no better dedication.

- The Feel
Just Be With Me Again
We never seem to have the time
Can't come up with the romantic movies lines
It seems life seems to give us all the signs
I've finally given up asking life why
Still every night it seems i have to tell you goodbye
Just be with me again
Rewrite the epics new begin
We can both forgive and be the best of friends
Just be with me again
No more shame for others sins
We can't let this great love story end
Just be with me again
If we take away the pain
And everything else stays the same
The life we had to live would be so plain
And all I want desperately is us to be free
From suffering the loss of love between you and me
Just be with me again
Rewrite the epics new begin
We can both forgive and be the best of friends
Just be with me again
No more shame for others sins
We can't let this great love story end
Just be with me again
All I ever really wanted is you right here with me
All I really knew is all of you is all i really need
All I have to offer you is just all of me as an offering
All of me wants all of you and so i sing
Just be with me again
Rewrite the epics new begin
We can both forgive and be the best of friends
Just be with me again
No more shame for others sins
We can't let this great love story end
Just be with me again
That Hug
The last person I remember hugging was you.
The last I felt that bond of a need to feel totally accepted as you are, wholely true.
Longing and perfect with perfection and flaws.
Both playing within the rules and breaking the laws.
Neediness and loneliness wrapped in arms so strong.
Strength and independence willfully letting a guard down, but not for long.
Why did it last for only a moment and not more?
Yet what more in this world could I ever ask for?!
Let it carry my heart and soul for a few more days, passing this way and that, with the world in a craze.
I'll hug you again, this I vow, this I swear, some day.
When we all catch our next breath
and I'll stop
and I'll stay.
As I Travel
As I travel along by the bright night light of the winter’s full moon
I think of you since only a few moments before, knowing it again too soon
I wonder if you sleep soundly, restfully, at peace with all surroundings
or lay with love, in fear, in pain, in wonder, insecure yet with no groundings
I question whether I did right or wrong or rightful wrong or woefully right
even as I say “what if?” once more aloud, knowing no reply comes from the night
As I travel along by the road made weary by passersby working or playing
I notice the cold, the scenery, the drab browns and greys of asleep trees swaying
I doubt my resolve to continue to move away from that which has my heart still
more so, for sure, I will to continue to will to move on, if only reason being is I will
I wish, I long, I want, I need, I yearn, I beg, I feel deeply, and I bleed
doing everything I must, doing everything else I do, doing everything else indeed
yet, as I travel along this broken path, this road that’s never clear to see
I think of you since only a few moments before, knowing you think also of me

Stop Short in the Hall
Shhhh...stop short in the hall
Lean gently on the pictured wall
Just listen to the clock metronome on and on
As it keeps count of the silent time spent
Hear the rain fall from the race it ran to the edge
And hear her breathe from our bed
I hesitate in the moment of slumbers calm
Before the brush of my old bones make sound unspeakable
Peacefulness only broken with the strain of wanting
The longing of another wave of loneliness come
And staleness of air, in and out, as I await your return to restfulness
Or a pause in my fortitude to let sleep have you til done
