Today

Today

This is the beginning of a new day
God has given me this day to use
as I will.
I can waste it ... or use it
for good.
But what I do today is important
because
I am exchanging a day of my life
for it.
When tomorrow comes,
This day will be gone forever.
Leaving in its place
something that I have traded for it.
I want it to be gain and not loss
Good and not evil
Success and not failure.
In order that I shall not regret,
the price that I have paid for it.
.....

When I live with a purpose, a goal and a direction in life, the way ahead so much brighter while the load seems lighter. When all is quiet and I am all alone, it seems dark and cold.. but some how it all works out for the better, and someone comes along at the right time or something happens at that moment..

running away

I feel as if I am still running;
running away from people,
away from my responsibilities,
away from who I am.
I cant run fast enough, I cant even run far,
and I am already tired.

I need to finish this race,
to search for a new direction,
and set another goal to get me somewhere else .

give me oil

Give me oil in my lamp,
keep me burning.
Keep me burning til the break of day.
