Pieces of a wall, brok'n, lie around
Built just to protect a heart, full of pain and fear
Afraid of being known - and keep none from drawing near.
Beneath the rubble, the answer is found
Waiting patiently like a gem of great worth
Whose discovery turns sorrow, brings rejoicing and mirth.
Walls - not meant to be eroded by trust
of one gentle - not threatening boundaries
And waiting while the wall crumbles with tears
From finding someone different, not chasing in lust
Learning to love - through denial of self and shame
Only faith believed would cause a shrew to be tame.
Chosen, yet not seeing or believing
The one hoped for had come all the while to redeem
and show the alls were not as pleasant as they seem
Unworthy and unable to earn, receiving
leading from a father who knew the weakness hid
And the love of a son who could see past the pride.
Such love would break even a heat of stone
Stopping not a moment to think
Before leaving the ship which would sink
Making haste to leave the life behind
not sure what in the new would find
Knowing the old will bring only death and despair
In brokenness, the only escape given there
To reach out and be called, by name, his own.

Everlasting love
Quick my boss
Find it
Give it to
Me free
Hey!
No such thing
As free lunch
In my business
Work for it
Even with overtime
OUR KIND OF LOVE
We met one evening quite by chance
You smiled and asked me for a dance
You whirled me around the floor
