I'm Down on my Knees

Still standing tall
About to fall
A gentle breeze
Now I’m down on my knees
Maybe I’m just where I need to be

Father in Heaven I hope you can hear me
As I try and hide my falling tears
Trying to face so many fears
I’m drowning in this sorrow
I can’t even see tomorrow

I’m trying to hold on just waiting for an answer
For I am so confused
Everyday just brings more and more bad news
And it is hard to go on anymore

I’m down on my knees
I’m begging you please
Take this heartache and pain away from me
I just want to be free

I’m shaking deep down inside
I’ve lost myself; I’ve lost the person I used to be
I’m hurting, I’ve lost my pride
It’s cold and dark I want to hide
I just can’t do this anymore

I’m beaten down
I’m on the ground
I can’t get back up and be tall again
Where do I even begin
Father in Heaven I hope you can hear me

I’ve never felt like this before I was always in control
But now things are getting hard and I am getting old
Can’t stop no turning back but what more can I do
I’m down on my knees
Father in Heaven I hope you can hear me.

The Season of Fall

Could it be that the season called fall
Could this season be the best of all
Leaves changing colors red, yellow, and brown, from green
No prettier sight can be seen

A brisk fresh cold breeze is in the air
School has started there are children everywhere
Football games, warm coats, jeans, and boots
Halloween owls that give a hoot

Warm fires on cold nights
Scarecrows and bats what a fright
Then along comes Thanksgiving there is a bounty a plenty
Harvest blessings shared, friends and family there are many

Now you tell me about this most colorful season called fall
Could this season be the best season of all

When I Die

Just take my ashes and throw them away because when I’m dead I’m gone.
I won’t be coming back this way anymore.
Throw them in an empty field and maybe some beautiful wildflowers will grow,
And if you do not see any pretty flowers we all need a few weeds or so.

You can appreciate the beauty someday when you see a field full of color.
Then you can remember how we used to love one another.

You may want to cry after I’m gone, but do not, for I have already cried buckets and buckets for you already.

I have felt your disappointments, your failures, your sadness, your lost loves, your resentment, your fears, your loss, and all of your trials and errors.

I have kissed your hurt, tasted the salt of your tears already when I held you in my arms trying to make things better, even when there were times when I could not.

Just like now, I can’t make this better, for if I could I would.

I only know how to write words, and at times I think maybe I’m not so great at doing that either. I try, for however good or bad that they may be, I continue to put them down on paper whether someone will read them or not.

I have a feeling that I’m not going to be around much longer. I want you to know that life goes on and nothing will ever be the way that it was before because everything changes and nothing stays the same.

We can’t live forever. We all will die someday. This is just a fact of life. No matter how we might like to change it, we can’t. What has to be will surely be.

I don’t want you to remember anything not pleasant or bad, but just remember all the good things even if you can only think of a few.

I don’t really know what to say except I’m sorry for everything I didn’t do right and I’m sure there are too many to write down, but you know what they are.

No matter how much I disappointed you, I can say I always loved you. I know there are times you didn‘t understand that, but it is the truth.

Whatever words came out of my mouth are things I can’t take back. How I wish I could. The only ones I wouldn’t take back are the words, I love you, you are important to me, and you are the best.

I wish I could always be here with you, but no matter what, you will get through this.

I know this will be easier for some, but for you I don’t know. I just know that somehow you will get through this difficult time.

So no guilt, no tears, and don’t be sad forever. There are more important things in life than to spend it grieving.

Be happy, love a lot, be a good person, and when all else fails, keep your faith because sometimes that is all that is left.

If you have to remember something, then remember this, I love you, for now, for always, and forever. This is something that will never change.

Love is the greatest gift of all.

I may not have had a lot of things in my life like others have, but that doesn’t matter. I am far richer than many because I had you in my life.

You were my greatest gift of all.

Thank you for your love.
