A Fairy Tale Life

A fairy tale life with love that has no end

Two little children and a house built with a fence

Princess or a Prince is what you dream of

A wedding in a church with unconditional love

Then one day you awake before your eyes you find

Your life is not that way and dreams are left behind

Your life is full of chaos the walls are coming down

The earth your feet are one is now a shaking ground

A lie is being whispered through your open ear

Your life is not over neither is the end near

In God your life remains and Christ is the start

Quit listening with your mind and listen with your heart

What’s broken God will fix He will make it whole

He knows what’s in your heart and carry in your soul

Don’t question what he’s done it is not a mistake

Your partner in this life a bond that He did make

Do not live your life according to all man

Turn your eyes to the king and with you He will stand

Come weather or the winds that want to just destroy

Standing in the Lord you’ll live in lasting joy

So dream of what is best and what he wants for you

And pray for one another as they pray for you too

Keep your hope in Christ and build up all the faith

Trusting that His plan will guide you everyday

A Humble Life

Some people want the largest of homes

To spend the most money on sushi and scones

Several cars in the drive a motorcycle too

They will never been happy with less than a few

With clothes all the many and shoes a galore

They keep spending money to get so much more

They try to buy love and pay for some peace

They spoil their children nephew and niece

God spoke of these people who lose track of life

They’ve lost out on family their job and their wife

The days that fly by with very little joy

No time to throw a ball to that once little boy

There is still some time for them to have hope

Just change of your ways before
