Tongue ties, nerves as big as boulders

Why Mom, I thought I was

your soldier?

My brother sits by me

Buckled into the carseat

Feel the thirst, it's time for

pulling over

Into the truckstop on my daddy's

shoulder

Out back where they plant all

the trees

Ten feet away my daddy buries me

God's Presents

If my path be smooth or rugged

If with thorns or roses strewn

Where I go the Father seeith

And He will leave me not alone

If I take the wings of morning

Far within the silent sea

Even there His hand will lead me

Even there my God will be

Though the gloom of night be around me

Though I cannot see my way

Yet the Lord will see and guide me

Because unto Him the night is day.

If my thoughts are good or evil

Set me think to hide them not

There is one above all seeing

And He beholdth every thought.

And ever more my eyes beholds me

And all my ways to Him are known

And His loving arms enfolds me

He will leave me not alone
