Prayer found in Chester Cathedral

Prayer found in Chester Cathedral

Give me a good digestion Lord
And also something to digest.
Give me a healthy body Lord
With sense to keep it at its best.
Give me a healthy mind Good Lord;
To keep the good and pure in sight.
Which seeing sin is not appalled;
But finds a way to set it right.
Give me a mind that is not bored,
That does not whimper whine or sigh.
Don’t let me worry overmuch
About the fussy thing called I.
Give me a sense of humour Lord,
Give me the grace to see a joke;
To get some happiness from life,
And pass it on to other folk.

Poem for Haiti

tdomf_67f5c — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 05:13:47 +0000

Did u hear the earth shake?
Haiti just had an earthquake
look around and its so depressing
but behind every tragedy is a lesson
people please come together during this bad weather
lend a hand to one who cannot stand
people strand beneath rubble and sand
looks like something the devil planned
land torn and shifted,
buildings lifted off the ground
so profound,
just look around
not a sound to be heard
looks like the apocalypse has occurred
so much devastation
millions in desperation
for food and medication
there cant be an explanation
they need inspiration
please make a donation
go to Haiti to see hell on vacation
no dramatization
we cannot act with any procrastination
without our help it will be the end of their civilizatio

You Wish

tdomf_67f5c — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 17:01:23 +0000

Share with me a piece of you, and i will share it back.
Show me the color of your heart, the white and dirty black.
Just give me a reason, a reason not to stay.
But all you do is blink your eyes, turn and walk away.
You can’t just leave me wishing but it’s all that you can do,
well my friend, so long, now the jokes on you.

More Than You Will Ever Know It

tdomf_67f5c — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 07:02:12 +0000

She is just a girl with a lot of feeling,
A lot of passion, a lot of pain.
It may not always come out the best,
And it may not come out at all,
But she cares.
So don’t lose hope,
Even when she’s lost it in herself.
Because she needs you,
More than you will ever know it.

So Much Wrong

tdomf_67f5c — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 05:31:48 +0000

So much wrong goes on in this world but still we drop bombs.
All my heroes are already dead so there’s no reason to be calm.
People obssess themselves with murder but forget about the truth on the way.
It’s like we’re all the sheep being fed lies through the hay.
Every body got two eyes open but their third eyes blind.
It’s time to free yourself soul, body and mind.

A Lad

tdomf_67f5c — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 16:58:07 +0000

Once a time; there lived a lad,
From his mime; he was so sad,
Yummy meals he never had,
But one good day; he was so glad,
For with his pay; he ate salad.

I Never Believed You

He said “baby I’m sorry
I swear I never knew
about the pain
the sorrow
the ache
the things I put u through”

He said “babe can I ask you
Is there a chance you still believe
in us
in this
in life
with only you and me”

He said “Hun I ain’t mean to
burn your heart this way
I’ll write
I’ll cry
I’ll do
anything to make you stay”

He said “love please dont leave me
because my heart will break”
but I
just walked
and walked
Far from this world of ache

And I left him a written letter
see this is what I wrote
never
did I
believe
a word that you have quote

Here, But Not Really

tdomf_67f5c — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:14:22 +0000

To swim and not to reach
The contours of your shore
An eye in the coldness of the dark
It sees but not really.
To know and not to feel
The fullness of your soul
Just a droplet in a vast desert
It is there but not really.
To wait and not to see
The outcome of your years
Speck of dust in the wind
It was there but not really.
To die and not to love
The life that was given
Would be an empty ball pen writing
You were ther

A Little Swan

tdomf_67f5c — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 16:15:02 +0000

A little swan from the town’s lake,
With a beetle; swam here for clown’s sake,
It swung around for joy of horning cake,
But hung on a mound till morning wake.

Thank you Lord for being who you are,
your heavens shine brighter than a star
the love that you have given us
was paid, by your son on the cross.

when we are sad, you are there
there is no other who can care,
like you dear lord, we want to live
to love, to care and to forgive.

you brought us through that trying hour
you kept us safe, with your love and power
you kept us calm when we were scared,
it is through your mercy, that we’re not dead.

we prayed so hard, that horrible night
that you would keep us all alright.
your love has never felt so strong
dear lord you kept us from all harm.

we praise you Lord for the gift of life
we praise you for keeping us alive,
we praise you that we have faith in you,
to know our troubles, are handed over to you

Lord help us to forgive them,
to pray for them too
as their next victim might not be so blessed
and wont get a chance to say thank you too.
