See beyond

See beyond 

Beyond the surface
Beyond the physical

To the heart
The soul

So easy to take people at face value 
But never see the value beyond 

Take the time 
Feel the heart 
See the soul

Time never wasted

If people could see

If people could see the wounds left by their words and actions

If people could see the pieces left behind of a broken heart 

If people could see the tears that have fallen from eyes filled with them

If people could see the soul torn in sorrow 

Maybe they would be more mindful
Maybe they would be more caring
Maybe they would be more loving
Maybe they wouldn't bring the pain

Just be

Just be

Be in the moment
This is the time that matters

Be present
Be loving 
Be aware
Be open

Just be
Don't rush ahead
Time moves fast enough 

Find the joy
Find the beauty
Find the peace
In each moment

Don't miss it
Just be

Heart always searching
Wanting a place to land

Peace
Be still

Covered by Christ's love
Treasured 
Kept safe

Prone to wander
Searching once again

My heart gets weary
Disappointed
And sometimes 
Broken

Back again 
Jesus, keep it

Peace 
Be still

The love I ache for can only come from Him
Empty places filled by His presence 

Soothe my soul
Fill my longings 

I want no one but You

Wavering

I trust 
I don't

I remember 
I forget 

You've walked me through the tough times. 
You were there 

Why is it so easy to forget

Steadfast is Your Love
Your truth

You. 
You are steadfast

I am not

How I want to be

I want to trust
To remember 

You've never failed me
You never will

Wavering

I trust 
I don't

I remember 
I forget 

You've walked me through the tough times. 
You were there 

Why is it so easy to forget

Steadfast is Your Love
Your truth

You. 
You are steadfast

I am not

How I want to be

I want to trust
To remember 

You've never failed me
You never will

Time so cruel
Passing so quickly
Once Hot Wheels and baseballs 
Now moving away in the Fall

Books read
Balls thrown 
Prayers prayed 
I love you's said

Time flies
So bittersweet 
Mom smiles with tears
Memories to keep
