Our Limit is the Sky

Our Limit is the Sky

Shouts made in anger
Threats creating fear
Made to be so much worse
When said by someone dear

His words tend to cut
Into the very heart of you
Were there good times...yes
But in comparison...very few

He needs to make you feel
Less than the woman that you are
But not what God wanted for you
As he peers down from the stars

You may want to give up
Just throw up your hands
But I’m telling you not to
Find strength...make a stand

His words while hurtful
Are still not true
He has yet to know
The real woman...which is you

The sad people who hurt us
Trying to cause us pain
Only bring out our inner warrior
Where only light remains

We cannot be defeated
By their negative tone
Because one fact remains true
You are not alone

Any effort which he has made
To break your tender heart
Is only made fruitless by
He who created us from the start

No matter what effects man
Chooses to impose
God knows the path which
Turns a seed into a rose

He knows what is best
For His children one and all
He gives us courage to walk
When we think we can only crawl

Stand up my dear sister
Hold your head high
For our Father walks with you
And while its okay to cry

Know that when your tears
Have dried in the light of His love
You will soar like God’s angels
On the wings of a snowy dove

You have strength and power
Not yet even tapped
It matters not where you have been
Only where you are at

And you are at the feet of God
He will help you rise
For when we submit to His will
Our limit is the sky

Just A Letter to Me

A Letter To Me

Just a letter to me
To remind me today
To give thanks for the blessings
God has brought my way

Thank you for the first breath
I took this morn
And have ever been thankful
Since the day I was born

Thank you for the sunrise
Or thanks for the chill
Whatever the weather
I submit to your will

Thank you for the love
You have supplied in my days
I cannot tell you how it’s helped
In so many ways

I may be undeserving
Of all you bestow
But I would be remiss
In not telling you so

Thank you for your forgiveness
And your loving way
This is shown in your beauty
Every single day

In a simple rose
Whose scent is so sweet
In a strangers smile
I met on the street

In the young man
Holding open the door
In the sound of a Lark
And so much more

Thank you for giving me
A new chance everyday
To begin life again
In a unique way

And forgive us Father
If we fall short along the way
I ask this of you
Falling to my knees to pray

Remind me again to smile
And shine your divine light
So I can deliver your love
On lives which seem less bright

Give me the strength to go on
And rise up to your call
And bring peace and joy
To your children one and all

Keep showing us always
The path for our souls
As the treasures of your Kingdom
Begin to unfold

And one day soon it will
Begin to become clear
Of the purpose of life
As you bring us near

Whatever the lesson
Whatever the task
Your guidance and love
Is all I shall ask

From the start of my day
Till the end of the night
I am thankful for the wisdom
And keen insight

In closing my letter to myself
A note I need to heed
Love and forgiveness is yours
We just need to believe
