Victor Hugo

Have courage for the great sorrows in life

And patience for the smalls ones;

And when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task,

Go to sleep in peace. God is awake.

Find Me

'I put you on a pedestal

and held you up high

Dreaming that one day

I would join you in the sky

But now I sit and wonder

why I ever put you there

You're never looking downward

just up and out you stare

So I've carefully set you down

and decided to walk away

Giving you the freedom

to hopefully find me some day'

Thank God I don't have to be skinny

Thank God I don't have to be rich

Thank God I don't have to be married

Thank God I don't have to be right

Instead, I can Thank God for Jesus!

Hope Fades

'Wasn't going to let it happen

Wasn't going to hope

Wasn't going to think it was possible

Telling myself it hurts to want

But then I failed

I started to think

Maybe this is real

Maybe it could happen for me

And now you're gone

And the possibility fades

I'm left in sadness

Not wanting hope to stay'

Still Miss You

It's been 2 years since I said goodbye.

And so much has changed since then.

I still miss you. I always will.

But the memories I hold in my heart,

let me think of you and smile.

And even though you aren't with me,

I feel lucky to have called you mine.
