the Soul of Life
In my heart the pain hurts
In my soul the agony is still there
In my eyes you can see the hurt
In reality the star still shines high and bright
The life we want to keep going on
The soul searching for what we believe in
The greatness to have by showing what we
want out of life
The reality of life is that the star still shines
high and bright.
the Light
The light of the sunshine so bright into
the sky
The light we see from God shines so bright
around him.
The light we face from ourselves shines so
bright that we must follow the path of God.
The light of the stars and the moon shine so
bright that light up the sky for the people.
The light we face each and every day cause
of how bright the light is for us that God
holds on to for us.
Faith
Let your hatred be gone
Let your happiness be here
Let there be light in your life
Let there be hope and faith in you always
Just stay away from the poison in your life
Stay close to those that will keep you happy
and worth living life.
Sadness will just tear you down
And joyfulness will brighten your day
Having angels by you will keep you safe and
keep you protective from all evil doers.
Poems from the Heart, continued mARiA SAndERSn o t F o R S A L E
c o n t i n u E d F R o m p R E v i o u S pA g E
Why answer all my prayers when all I need is
one really answer?
Why be with me and love me when all I did
was put you through agony?
Why need me so much when you do fine
without me?
Cause you love me so much that you don’t
want to be anywhere else but here with me.
Why change me when I do fine the way I am?
Why hold on to me tight if we are barely
learning to get along with one another?
Why keep me in your grasp if all you want to
do is never letting me go?
Cause you love me so much that you want
me in your arms tightly holding onto me
and never letting go.
We are meant for each other and our hearts
will never let go of each others souls.
We will never turn one another down for any
cause we will hold on forever.
We will tell each other the truth no matter the
cause and how it will turn out to be.
We will learn to be more open to the heart so
our souls will heal in time from all the pain
it has from the past.
Cause you love me so much that you try to
open up with your feelings towards me.
I know you love me by how you treat me, how
you protect me, and how you show me.
I know you love me by how you tell me all
the time.
I know you love me by the passion in your
eyes when you hold me and you say, “I
love you” to me.
All these things fall in place when love is
involved and it is meant in a passionable
way to have intimacy with each other.
I love to have true intimacy with you again
with all the passion behind it to fall in
place.
True love will never go away from the heart
and soul of a person it stays there forever.
Now that I have you I don’t want to let you go
ever, I just want to
Keep you forever and hold on to you tight
and never let you go.
I see in my eyes that my heart and soul
needs and wants you so much in my life.
And I’ve miss you so much that I want you
back in my life again now.
Please God answer my prayers tonight to let
me love again
for my true and only love in my life.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
