The Child Dances

Bump Bump Bump Bump

Skies are hazy trees are stumps dog’s are lazy watch for skunks.

Bump Bump Bump Bump

Stars are shining in your eyes and since I found them they ‘re in mine now.

Bump Bump Bump Bump

Lightning crashes to the ground thunder scares more with its sound.

Bump Bump Bump Bump

Sea is riddled with the sharks, but fish still take up most of most parts.

Bump Bump Bump Bump

Fading jacket – tearing sleeves – a whooping cough signals disease.

Bump Bump Bump Bump

Laughing child looking kind can you withstand the test of time? Keep your smile from frown’s fade, learn the times to misbehave?

Bump Bump Bump Bump

Hear the music sing it loud, watch the sun then jump around. Don’t lose hope just from your pain, don’t be sad when glory fades. Don’t rank yourself with other heads, don’t rest assured that you’re the best. Keep that chin up, child do, keep on walking when they judge you. Keep it going sole to pavement, keep that strut like you’re elated. Don’t get lost or tired or sick, don’t get down or up and quit. Keep on going, child do, keep on dancing this song’s for you.

Bump Bump Bump Bump.

Tragic Heart of the True Believer

True believer how I fear,

The current trend of worldly tears.

True believer know I know,

The pain of heart few others know.

True believer know I see too,

The sights you see and things you do.

True believer be not afraid, the God of yours is not decayed.

He is there, speaking with you, He is the one whom I know too.

He is the one who answers prayers, fixes problems and always cares.

Don’t be saddened by worldly loss, the pain that comes with natural thoughts.

When your eyes open they might state, this path of yours is too much too take.

I know it’s hard and it’s not fair, when no one sees the cross you bear.

Other laugh and feel joy too, and yet you hurt to do God’s will.

Am I an idiot, is God true, am I simply out of tune?

Am I crazy, am I misled, is faith the way of just pretend?

Do not worry, do not cry. Trust the Lord, He will provide.

Struggling Child – Struggle On

Worried child,

Problems tell,

Stories go with them as well.

I see your struggle, all your fears,

I see you’re worried, but comfort’s here.

Look around you to those who grow,

See how struggle’s one all know.

And those who don’t, will someday,

For sometimes struggle is delayed.

In that moment, when you are down,

do observe the sights and sounds.

See the athletes, those who win,

are those who persevere within.

What is this mind’s fear of faith,

What fall hurts too much to face?

Rise above, live with God, go on to fight with good sights sought.

I tell you this, about your push –

Lack of faith won’t make life cush.
