FOREVER AND A DAY
Forever and a day you will be with me
My heart is yours to keep
I love you so much, sometimes I often weep
I see your brown eyes looking at my very soul
Can I hold you and never let you go
Forever and a day, I will feel you
You do not leave my side
A part of me will always be
Shining in your eyes
Your hands are so gentle
Your face is so very dear
Take me in your arms
Let us walk away without fear
Forever and a day
You are in my mind
We will be together
Forever beyond time
You are so beautiful and true
I could only live my life
If I can stay with you
Dance with me in the morning
Dance with me at night
Forever and a day I will hold you
For it is you who makes things right

His Divine Plan
I am part of Jesus' divine plan
Like the creatures who walk and fly
In the ocean so beautiful
Where dolphins and fish go swimming by
And the earth so green with grass to feel
The trees to shade us from the heat
All these things are Jesus' divine plan
For He alone knows
all we need
The glory of a lovely breeze
The mystery of the moon and stars
All the white clouds coming from afar
Jesus put His miracle on each form of life
He smiles when animals run in fields so free
And blesses every baby born
We are all Jesus' masterpiece
He died for you and me
His divine plan is a wonderful part
Of who we are and by His grace
Who we can be
It is up to us to see His light to understand
When He opens wide His arms with love
We can know our souls will live
In eternity and always
We are the divine plan within His hand.

To My Dad
I may not remember you
For I was very small
My adopted mother took me
So you did not see much of me at all
I was your little miracle
You were my very own
Yet you did not see me
Or holded me when I called
Yet I am proud Dad
That I now have my chance
I never got to play with you
For I was far away
In a home I offen puzzles
Why am I just this way
When I finally found you
You were so happy and gay
We talked and talked
Until I had an idea
Of the strenght in me you gave
So I want to thank you Dad
I know God will let us meet
Please stay well
I know you can make it
Life can sure be neat.

Can I
Can I fly into the sky so I do not cry
Can I dance in the meadow so green
Can I touch the stars and make a wish
Will someone want me enough
To give me a good night kiss
Can I go back in time
When I was loved
When I had party's
With friends I once knew
Can I play again
With out a care
Can any of this come true
Can I be happy and not cry bitter tears
When I see the rain on my window pane
Can I look at the beauty God made
Can I really feel I belong in this maze
Can I find my parents and tell them I love them
Can I ever feel save once more
Can I see my birthday cake and blow out the candles
Will God give me the strength to live
Not to give anyone the power to crush my spirit
God created me and I know He is proud
I am God's Masterpiece
Can I help someone who needs my help
Yes, I can, for my name is hope.

Butterflies Are Free
Have you ever seen a butterfly, flying in a tree
Have you seen the beautiful colors,
God designed for these
Have you been in a garden, all lovely and new
Butterflies fly freely
As The Lord always meant them to
I wish I was a butterfly
So I could fly so free
I would love to smell the flowers
The oceans and the trees
When God made the butterfly
In the beauty Jesus paints
He was planning such for us
To fly from place to place
For I too will fly just like the butterfly
Dreaming dreams or two
One day I will soar among the stars
My life will change anew
Just as butterflies are free, dancing in the sky
Like a lovely rainbow, as they pass me by
I will wildy race, through the grass so tall
I will be like a butterfly
Who could ask for more.

REMEMBERING A GREAT MAN
|
When a soul we love goes beyond this life
To
be more than a dove, a butterfly
Or a wave of the ocean deep
God created all to see and if we let
Him in our heart
Above this earth is our paradise to keep
For when the end has ended
We cross over to a
gate which is heaven
Eternity is our everlasting call,
With our minds, bodies, hearts, our very being
We will
again be with our loved one's soul
Death is not the end, it is a beginning
God is waiting on the other
side
To guide our loved ones
Beyond this earth, with Him to abide
Remembering those we love
Is
like walking in the sun
A great man passed away
Yet his love is with me today
I feel a gush of wind
I
look at myself and I know deep inside
I am here for a reason
I was the gift of hope
I was truly loved for a very
long time
God put him here to be my father
And my friend
I give him honor for he was a brave soldier
I will forever love
him
Any tears I cry, will go back into the rain
A life everlasting is waiting
On the other side of the rainbow
Where
we will meet our loved ones again.

A Butterfly's Love
I see a falling star
If I hold my breath and let it out gentle and slow
A butterfly's love is a love I want to know
Can I fly through the sky and Heaven too
Will God grant me my wish
To touch my wings and be with you
A butterfly is waiting for me
I will meet you in the trees
I have spent my life
To spread my wings and fly
To be one with nature
And never die
I live my life with a butterfly's love
The moon and ocean, a drop of wine
It does not matter, with you I stand
Let us touch the earth with our hands
I can fly on my own but you are in my eyes
A butterfly's love, given a heart
Together our wings could never part
Look over the gardens, the apples and pine
We see the world, in a very short time
You are beautiful with your colored wings
I see myself in the lake, what a lovely thing
Remember I love you, so keep close to me
Butterfly love and kisses too
We fly, as God meant us to

The Forgotten Soldier Of Nam
I remember now, when thinking of the past
Of the forgotten soldiers who went to Nam
Who in freedom's name, were sent to war
That many thought would never last
These soldiers embarked on foreign land
In the jungle of Nam I heard their name
I remember how they hurt
I remember their pain
Today I want to shake their hands
For these forgotten soldiers then
Left as boys and came back as men
They stay in my heart
For me at least, they left their mark
When they came home, no one cheered in line
No job could they even find,
They were not loved, though they gave their blood
For many thought what they did was wrong
Yet they did it for country, loud and strong
They could not vote, but were drafted to war
They tried their best to meet the call
Some travelled to different lands
So did not have to fight in freedom's name
But the forgotten soldiers who gave their all
Did not have a friend, who they could call
Now, many years later, let us remember them
Those who fought in Vietnam

MY GOLDEN BUTTERFLY
My golden butterfly touches the sun
She sometimes sings to me when day is done
When she opens up her wings to fly into the world
I wish I could fly with her and smell the breeze
It must be peaceful with everything she sees
My golden butterfly comes to me when it is night
She sleeps in my patio until it is daylight
I see her in my garden, on the flowers and in the trees
She makes me smile, so delicate and free
Like an angel in the sky, I hope she will stay with me
Just her and I
My golden butterfly likes the waterfall
She reminds me of heaven and the beauty of it all
Butterfly, oh butterfly, give me wings to fly with you
You are like a falling star, wonderful and new
Touch the sun every morning, kiss the night goodbye
Please remember me, as in the world you fly.

Written for my angel Babbs
Faith is the assurance of things hoped for
the trust in things
not seen
In The Meadow
In the meadow I can run
Looking at the flowers
I am happy all my hours
For in the distance there's a rainbow
Beautiful and new
God gives me much to treasure
I'm a miracle to Him too
In the meadow I watch the sun shine
A butterfly takes flight
The grass is green between my toes
I follow a brook 'til it is out of site
There is so much loveliness
In the very air I breathe
God's hand shows His love
In all the things I see
In the meadow there are deers
Horses and squirrels
God cares for the animals
As He does for boys and girls
All of life is a miracle
In the meadow of our choice
It is a gift from our Father
To always keep in sight

Every Christmas I Hear Angels Sing
Every Christmas I hear angels sing
I go outside and watch the snow
My family join me, silent as the Holy Night
We see the angels as they float
Inside there are cookies for Christmas
Stockings hung in the fireplace
The tree shines with colored lights
All I see is a beautiful sight
A turkey is cooking, what a lovely smell
Yams, mashed potatoes and cranberries
A feast this Christmas
For The Kings of Kings
I hear the angels sing for the Lord Jesus
We pray as a family and sing in chorus
The trees outside wave in the breeze
Outside it is calm and silent
It fills us with peace
Angels, as on that blessed night
Sing, and if you look closely
You can see them in the mist
On a quiet Christmas Eve
To be a part of the love Jesus gives
Is the breath of you, held safely in His hand
It is everything you are, everything you do
The angels singing, tells you still
You are loved forever
By "The great I Am"

I CAN FIND MY WAY
When the sun is not shining
If all looks dark and gray
I know one thing
I can find my way
As long as there are rainbows
Flowers and birds which sing
I will never give up hope
For I can find my way
If the clouds are gray
And you see the rain
Remember it is only washing the earth
So in the morning, all bright and gay
I can smell the roses and I can find my way
If I feel I have no friend to love me
And I cry all day
What does it matter in the end
I know I can find a new one today
In heaven are angels, for I can hear them sing
The trees, the ocean, the bumble bee
Are all gifts from God, strange to me
When I see little animals and blue skies ahead
I know I can make it
I can find my way
If I can delight in nature and become a butterfly
Then I know I can make it in this world if I try
I do not have to wonder why
God's love is holding me all the way.

IN YOUR EYES
In your eyes I see your love for me
In your eyes I am anything you want me to be
When I feel the sun, I know we are both one
In the parks where we walk
I hear birds sing and listen to angels as they talk
In your heart I will always be
Because you are a part of me
I keep a smile upon my face
I feel beautiful when in your embrace
Keep me in your arms
I know you will always keep me safe from harm
In your eyes I can see the stars
When I look at the moon, I watch it shine
All my life I will feel your strength
Forever is a long long time
In your eyes, give me your heart and soul
I will hold on and never let you go
You love me, I do not have to pretend
You are the one I will stay with until the world ends
In your eyes, I find peace of mind
You kiss me with such tender care
In your eyes I know you want to marry me
Love like ours is so very rare
Take me over the rainbows
Into the clouds, and through the trees
For there is no one else
I could ever need
In your eyes, I stand out in a crowd
We are together, I do love you so much now

I have met Jesus
I have met Jesus, for his eyes are in the stars
I have met Jesus, in the sky so blue
I have seen Him in the clouds, and you can see him too
I have touched Him when I hold a flower
In the grass which is so green
I follow Him around,
He is everywhere, it seems
I have talked to Jesus,
When the birds sing in the trees
I know He is there, when a butterfly I see
He is in the wind that kisses on my cheek
I tell Him how much I love Him
My soul is His to keep
I have walked with Jesus
In a park and through a waterfall
I am never frightened
Because He is with me through it all
When I smell the many gifts He sends
In the air I breathe
I know the miracle called life
Was given unto me.
I have met Jesus,
I want you to meet Him too
He is everything you are
He is everything you do
If you hold out your hand
You will feel a gentle breeze
Then you will meet Jesus
Your whole world will forever change
In love you will fly free

I HAVE BEEN MANY PLACES
I have been many places, sang many a song
I wish I could live my life over, I want to be
reborn
I have been many places, I have cried many a tear
Dear God, may I ask, what brought me to here
I have been many places, many a star I did see
What is in this world so I can become free
Where are my loved ones, does no one want me
What have I done, this is my plea
Does anyone have eyes to see me,
Does anyone have ears to hear
Does anyone have a heart,
They may want to share
Sometime I feel powerless, there is nothing I
can do
So I go in a corner, with no hope to pursue
I have been many places, from home to home
I do not seem to belong anywhere, so that is why I
roam
I found a church to help me learn to pray
I found Jesus love, so here is where I want to stay
The moment Jesus touched me, His goodness I became
I am no longer in the dark and I have come out of the rain
Yes, I have been many places
I am glad I am here, there is so much beauty
And the Savior is near, I feel His loving hand
Which gives me new light
Jesus died on the cross
So all things could be right
I forgive all who could not love me
I forgive all who did not understand
I forgive those who made me cry
And made me feel powerless, as they walked by
I want to be just like Jesus, He is kind and good
He never leaves me, He would not even if He could
Now I go to many places and I help those in need
I show them Jesus love, through me
If I help just one who may feel powerless,
As I once did myself
I will tell them to say "Our Father",
Because He is the only one who can help
Linda Ann Henry © 2005
Do you remember me
The people's poet
There is nothing worse than being powerless.
If you do not have Jesus in your
life it is worse.
Jesus always answer your questions. He never leaves you.
But most important, He loved you so
much He died for you.
Let Me Say A Prayer With You Today
Let me say a prayer with you today
You are in my heart
A friend from times beginning
Let me take your tears away
There is one place I can start
You have helped me in good times and in bad
From you I received strength for my fears
You were there for me when I was sad
Always happy through the years
Let me say a prayer to God above
He will be there now in your need
I know you have hurt this year
It is your time to grieve
Let me say a prayer, my dear friend
I will fly to Heaven
That is where Our Lord Jesus is
The angels are there too
Let me say a prayer
One just for you

I see you in my sleep
I see you in my sleep
I try so hard not to weep
I hold you once more in my arms
You kiss me and I feel your love
I see angels from above
I whisper your name in my sleep
My heart and soul is yours to keep
Every breath is like a sigh
I wonder if you will stay
Will it always feel this way
I see you in my dreams
I cannot seem to wake
I would do anything for your sake
I am your's until the night ends
You are sweet and kind
Will you forever be mine
I give you my very soul
If only you promise not to go

FAR FROM HEAVEN
When you lose someone you love
Heaven seem so far
If I see a star falling, will it be a meaning for me
Can my love one sleep in peace
Will they ask God to take care of what is to be
Far from heaven, is my loved one's soul
Please Dear Jesus, into your heart, they will go
If I cry or weep, I much let my dieing one keep
I must believe I will be strong, I will make it through
I promise, I will be all right, in death I will always be with you
I will not run, though I may cry alone
I want you to remember me
I am big and strong
Far from heaven, the good Lord lives
I will meet you there, I will give all I can
In heaven with Jesus, we will live
A brand knew start is what we will give

DO I
HAVE THE TIME
Do I have the time to see the sunshine
In between the rain
Do I have the time to listen to a bird sing
If I feel in myself the pain
Do I have the time to watch a butterfly
As I walk down a path, just the same
Do I have the time to wash your tears away
Forget the me I am, and with you I will stay
Do I have the time to see my dreams come true
I may not have made it, if it was not for you
Put me in a boat, send me out to see
I will feel the wind, touching me
If I look over a rainbow, wonders before my eyes
I can see a castle, rising in the sky
Do I have the time for moonbeans
Stars dancing just for me
Can I share it with someone
Who has need, that will be
Yes I have the time to help everyone I know
Those I have not met, I will not let go
I have a gift, The Lord God gave to me
I will never forget where I came from
I promise to have the time for those who are in need

How Do I See
How do I see the future
when I cannot find my past,
How do I build foundations
That I know are going to last.
With bits and pieces missing
and secrets kept from me,
How do I stop the questions
and find serenity.
My mind is always traveling
down roads that I create,
Where quests are finally finished
and much sought answers wait.
Scenario's repeat themselves
With solutions changed each time,
I roll the imaginary film
and ending I could not find.
My head is always in the clouds
my feet not near the ground,
can you hear my constant secret prayer,
the song that has no sound.
My heart will always be tied
to another time and place,
Until I find the passage
to that secluded hidden place.
Where it all started long ago
or once upon a time,
Each day until I find the path
I'm searching for those hidden signs.
The one's that will point out the way
the direction I should go,
To stop this life long puzzle
and the past I want to know.

I SEE THE MOON
At dusk I walk in my garden
I see the moon
The Heaven's appear to be dancing
The air is so very clear.
I sing a song to the beauty of the night
If only I could hold someone tight
The moon looks pink and the stars are as white as snow
I hope this somebody I am holding does not let me go
I hear an orcestra playing somewhere in the night
They seem so close
I start to dance to the music
I see a man in the light of the candles
I close my eyes, and when they open
He is holding me close, in a dance for two.
I see the moon smiling and the world is new
It was meant to happen in a garden for me and you.
