The fight continues

I am tired 

Waning and unsure where to turn,

Perhaps my path is different from the one I suspect 

As I humble my heart, through the challenge that’s worth it.

Time passes by

My eyes filled with uncertainty and a lack of hope,

God is always good, refuse to hang off a rope.

God is awesome 

God is the light, 

God is your source, and one that should excite.

Depleted, but I know I need to thrive

I know through God I have no choice but through him I am alive.

Time cannot be owed 

Pain always exist,

Try to stay focused and avoid to becoming remiss.

Recovery

It’s a road no one can ever anticipate

It starts with a drink and then you are waning and then often inebriated.

 

The journey is long, yet sometimes it can be short

I pray to God everyday, “how did I get to this place” I later retort.

I lost my focus and decided to take a sip

Not knowing this sign of change was more than a blip.

The path is supportive, when around a new family to restore

I looked to the heavens for a magical ingredient, and then some more.

Please don’t feel alone, all it takes is to pick up the phone and confess this is now ‘you’

Recovery in whatever misuse circumstances, you are strong enough to pursue.

We all started somewhere

We all have a beginning 

And that shall also lead to an end,

Don’t worry, what I am about to say for the rest of the words, shall simply transcend.

The changing of our hearts

The trauma some of us may all have to face,

These are often heightened arguments, which take place

Say a prayer before you allow speed to overcome haste.

We are all loved by God

And yes, he faces many questions from ourselves in the end

Looking to ask ‘why this and that happened’

And of moments where our heads have been dampened.

We lose the people we love,

We ‘well wish’, those who don’t understand us,

And yet importantly, yes, most importantly it’s God that we need to trust.

Exercise and Faith

Pray on during an enduring run

It’s uplifting, spiritual and it can be also fun.

The drive brings you light

The path leads to a fight,

There’s no turning back when you train

Looking at it objectively, the spirit needs to continue in order to sustain.

I lift the weights, once accomplished it’s an amazing feat

It’s my belief in God which refuses any form of defeat,

So I breathe in and then I breathe out

Is worth clapping your hands, that’s what it’s all about.

Believe in yourself

And yes there will be times you won’t be sure,

Exercise and faith shall encourage you that little bit more.

Back then

In the past we didn’t have a smart phone

Things were done that little bit slower and a bit more grace

Now we speed up and fall on our face.

Back then we took our time

We spoke that little bit  slower,

You didn’t need to go at speed

Now we rely on our phones… an element of our needs.

People are now far more impatient 

They talk a good talk but don’t follow it through,

That doesn’t apply to every one, just like the methodical ones… which is myself and you.

Today we are too fast

The speed of talking is quite intense,

We are desensitised to surroundings 

Where in the past we stopped, looked and reflected 

A moment to contemplate the next move which will soon be detected.

I will see you again

Believe it or not 

It ends in heaven, where earth is the first stop,

Looking to those you think you have lost

This couldn’t be more far away the truth, there are moments of cost.

Praying to God

And giving your heart,

Living for tomorrow, not knowing where it will take

Acknowledging the Father in heaven, there is an initial moment when you shall break.

The people who you love… are right ‘here’ in your ‘soul’

There is no need to fight, allow the tears to come out as you grow

The people that brought you warmth and a smile to your face

Yes, It is sad they are no longer here, but the cheers are shouted to embrace.

We shall see these people again….God has promised,

The soul is real, the people we can’t see now is only temporary, yet reliant 

Through supplication and prayer you shall become defiant.

Grandad

A new day, my loving Grandson

The time has passed but I am still here,

The world stills continues, and one day we shall see each other for a coffee, rum or beer.

I am proud of you,

I am looking out for you everyday,

God is focusing on you too, my words always remain alive still to this day.

You are my grandchild 

A man who is now walking this path in this life,

A humble man in Jesus, who has partnered through the Father’s divine.

Thank you for being you,

I am always here to say hello,

It’s never a goodbye my friend and my grandchild

The path you walk is towards your new home… heaven… you shall be at peace and never at all riled.
