About Today

Today,
you were far away...
and I,
didn't ask you why
What could I say?
I was far away,
You just walked away,
And I just watched you...
What could I say?
How close am I to losing you?

Tonight,
You just close your eyes,
and I just watch you
slip away...
How close am I to losing you?

Hey,
are you awake ?
Yeah, I am right here
Well, can I ask you
About today?
How close am I to losing you?
How close am I to losing ...

Blind Babies

Dear Christ,

Did you know that some of our babies are born blind?
They are autistic, they can't hold a thing together, they have broken minds.
If that is not enough, the breasts that nurse them have cancer inside!
And men are called to bear this and plod through life...
Its not like life comes with a soundtrack - theres no pianist playing some slow soothing tune on the side,
Neither are we on camera, for the world to sympathize.
Just sayin... you know, it feels like something is not right.


Dear Gagan,

You write bad rhymes.
I agree, something's not quite right,
And I think it's because you turned your back; cuz decided to draw your own lines.
Don't forget, I chose to be like you, forever, so that I could empathyze
I went through hell, to open gates of paradise.
And those babies you think you care about, they are mine.
Take my advice - trust my word and give it the fullness of time
I promise, no pain, no tears and no missing eyes
allright?
sleep well. yours truly, Jesus Christ.

Glory

you know what would be glory? 

if god were holy, holy, holy

and say he was also big, powerful, righteous and all-knowing

if he were to look me in the eyeball, 

and say that he knew every sin I had committed, 

and he bled for it, and I was for now and forever forgiven 

that would be glory … and for it, I would give my all

Someday

may be, some day, 

when the sun shines bright,
when music from a distance floats over the air, mild, 

when there are blessings divine and no cares on my mind

when callings for the day are well satisfied

oh and when, for once, the time is right

may be, some day, 

when friends approve with a wink and smile

i will look into those eyes

and sit beside the girl
who is mine

If - Rudyard Kipling

Dear Piper

Dear Piper, 


God has been gracious to you
He has shown you wonderful things
The awesome power that he is a source of. 
Please don't forget, as much as I do, 
That you are who you are because He is who He is. 


May you find more riches in our Lord, 
May you find all your healing, 
May your family find its healing, 
May you decrease as He increases, 
May you have eyes to see through the deception of this world, 
To see through the deception of fame, 
May you be blessed with health, wealth and the prosperity that is our God. 


So that you can come bless us in return. 


On my knees for you. 

Slow Dance

I am probably for the slow movement




Have you ever watched kids
On a merry-go-round?
Or listened to the rain
Slapping on the ground?
Ever followed a butterfly’s erratic flight?
Or gazed at the sun into the fading night?

You better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.

Do you run through each day
On the fly?
When you ask How are you?
Do you hear the reply?
When the day is done!
Do you lie in your bed
With the next hundred chores
Running through your head?

You’d better slow down
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.

Ever told your child,
We’ll do it tomorrow?
And in your haste,
Not see his sorrow?
Ever lost touch,
Let a good friendship die
Cause you never had time
To call and say,’Hi’
You’d better slow down.
Don’t dance so fast.
Time is short.
The music won’t last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere
You miss half the fun of getting there.
When you worry and hurry through your day,
It is like an unopened gift..
Thrown away.
Life is not a race.
Do take it slower
Hear the music
Before the song is over.

So much to Accomplish!

I got up early one morning,
And rushed right into the day;
I had so much to accomplish,
I didn’t have time to pray.

Troubles just tumbled about me,
And heavier came each task.
"Why doesn’t God help me?" I wondered.

He answered, "You didn’t ask."

I tried to come into God’s presence;
I used all my keys at the lock.
God gently and lovingly chided,
"Why, child, you didn’t knock."

I wanted to see joy and beauty,
But the day toiled on gray and bleak.
I wondered why God didn’t show me.
He said, "You didn’t seek."

I woke up early this morning,
And paused before entering the day.
I had so much to accomplish
That I had to take time to pray.
