The prayer of a little boy
As I am sitting there in the bleachers, I think to myself about the game. It's like life...we all
get a chance to be up to bat. Sometimes we strike out, sometimes we get hit..and if we are truly blessed we get a home run. When, we go after what we want in life and we achieve it. It's like the home run and it makes us feel wonderful. I am drawn back to the game when I
hear some moans. All the bases are loaded and a little boy is up to bat. This is the last inning of the game . They already have two outs. They are two behind in the score. I over hear some man say , "We might as well give up the game now, he never gets a hit."
I am saddened how people are prejudging this boy. I watch him and the first ball is thrown by pitcher and sure enough it was a strike and he missed it . The crowd groans some more. Again, the boy takes his stance to get ready and looks at the pitcher. The pitcher winds up and releases the ball again, another strike. The next thing that happens surprised us all.
The little boy tells the umpire time out, the umpire calls a time out. The little boy looks around and then drops his bat. He drops to his knees right there at home base. He folds his little fingers and drops his head. He starts praying for him to hit this ball. The crowd that was moaning and groaning and complaining now is hushed. Everyone watching this little boy in amazement. When he is all done , he stands back up and goes over and gets his bat.
He takes his stance again, he tells the umpire all set now. The game is back on, the pitcher
throws the ball and by now everyone is the bleachers on both sides are up on there feet.
The anticipation is so great everyone every one is holding their breath waiting to see if he hits this ball. The next sound you could hear is SMACK, yes the ball hits the bat and sure enough it is flying out to the outfield. He runs to the first base as the others run to their bases. One by one, they go past home base. The boy runs past first on to second, then third and now the third base coach is waving him to go all the way . The crowd is cheering so loud for this little boy. He crosses the plate and every one of his teammates runs to the field. Two of the boys pick him up and place them on each of side of their shoulder and team is cheering for this little boy. I sit there and think to myself again one minute the crowd is moaning and next they are cheering. Why do we always prejudge people ? I was so happy to see that little boy bow his head and pray in front of that crowd. That little boys showed me so much that day. So now when things come up that I think are to huge for me to handle, I give it to God. Sometimes in life, we need a child to lead us to God, to think as a child.

Your Chains
How can something feel so right
But yet,
I see these chains that hold you so tight,
I want to set you free to fly
to me.
There is a place for you in my heart
I don't want us to be apart.
When I shut my eyes
I dream about you
How we could be together forever.
To stand in your presence
To see that grin of yours
Knowing what you are thinking
Before you ever say it.
I want you to run to me
And let me be the one
To set you free
To love you the way
You deserve to be loved.
Let me set you free of those chains.
Wondering If you do too?
Watching the days go by and
Spending my time thinking of you
Wondering if you are thinking of me too.
I am missing you so much
How I am wondering if you are missing me too?
When I do see you it just makes me so happy
You just light up my life
You bring such joy into it,
Wondering if I do in yours too?
Do you feel my heart beating?
Do you dream of me?
Wondering if you realize how much I love you ?
Do you understand what you mean to me ?
Do you know what you do to me when I see that smile?
It must have been love
That is all that can explain these feelings I have for you
You're all I ever wanted,
All I dreamed of,
I wonder could you possibly
love me back?
Could my dreams come true or is this
Just a wild dream of mine?
Who Am I?
Who am I that you should love
Me so deeply
So unconditionally .
Who am I
But a sinner who has been forgiven
By your grace and mercy.
Who am I
that you would send your
Son, your one and only son,
to save me?
Who am I
When all is stripped away
But a child of yours.
Who am I
When I am dealing with trials
Who do I represent?
Who am I
When I am scared and lost,
yours.
Who am I ?
Is a child of God
For you are my true love, my everything.
When the time is right
The moments we share I couldn't lie to you
They are so special, what more can I say
I have fallen for you .
When all else fails I know I can come running to you
I know you will always be there for me
When the time is right I know we will share
This love we have for each other
When I know I will fall, I know you will be there
To pick me up
I know some day I will have your sweet caress
Until then I feel my restlessness and my sadness
I can't go on if I am all by myself I need your love
I get so lost in your eyes I could spend eternity there
Forever being yours lost in those feelings
When I am feeling sad all I have to do
Is to look at you and remember
How much you love me
I know it was destiny that we found each other
You are my world.
With all this time that has gone by I Know
That just had made that love stronger
And some day I will hold you close
Even though you are so far away but I hold on
Until that dream comes true.
