Optimisme

De tranen die nu vloeien
waar komen ze vandaan?
Van verdriet of vreugde
of door droefheid in het bestaan?

De wereld draait steeds sneller
je houdt het haast niet bij
het is net een mallemolen
je voelt je niet meer vrij.

De haast waarmee je doorleert
geen tijd en ook misschien
wil je geen tijd meer voor die ander
zijn pijn en zorg niet zien.

Je hebt je eigen leven
je snelt er vlug doorheen
geen rustpunt kun je vinden
mijn god,waar gaat dat heen?

Want kom je eens tot rust
dan gaan de tranen vloeien
bedenk dan heel bewust
aan waarden die nog boeien.

No Life Aint
Always what I wish
But in this big ocean
I am but one tiny fish

Some days are hard
other days are even harder
but the path upon which I walk
I pray can only get better

In You I have to trust
But some days I do question
But it is to You I look
as my only guiding beacon

There are days
full of confusion
as I try to sort
thru each illusion

Days when my heart is heavy
Yet my faith is steadfast
I drink Your word
as my only breakfast

Yet here I sit
with worry and confusion
And wrongly question
what You place on my children

In my desperation
when my fist at you I shake
I pray it is my heart you see
and know how bad it aches

But I know in my heart's depths
that as I walked life's road
When reflecting back
It is You that has carried my load.

To borrow a lyric from the song
'No Life Aint Always Beautiful
but I know I'll be fine
Hey Life Aint Always Beautiful
But Its a Beautiful Ride'

The you my heart came to know
I refuse to lose sight
The joy you gave
took the dark into light

The lonely times filled
The laughter and your dream we shared
Your soul to me
that was so openly bared

The reflection I gaze upon
does not reveal the flaw
I search and search
and yet can not see what you saw

Is what I give
too much
or is it I am not
of the right stuff

To change who I am
that path I can not trod
I am who I am
a creation of God

So I walk my path
as always before
for who knows for me
what God has in store

With head held high
this road of life I climb
With God as my guide
I search for my Place In Time

Many times I have been asked
what I need of love
You mean the kind that is Angel blessed
and sent from above?

Well this is not one
I need to ponder
for deep in my heart
there is no wonder

To be met at the door
with a tender sweet kiss
You know the kind
that brings heavenly bliss

That warm loving arm
in the cold of nite
that draws me close
and holds me tight

That strong shoulder
for me to lean upon
but wise enough to know
when I need to be alone

That joyful laughter
in my memory to burn
the one that sees me thru
when life's ocean begins to churn

The tender loving eyes
that will hold me in trance
well into the years
when it becomes difficult to dance

I want a love
to have and to hold
I want a love
that has yet to be told

Oh just love me
like nobody's loved me ....
