Direction

Gone gone gone
Are the days in my past
The good time I had
That never seemed to last

Down down down
Deeper and deeper I go
Not going to fast
And not going too slow

Falling falling falling
There is air all around
Nothing when I look up
And nothing when I look down

Lost lost lost
Are the smiles and cheers
Nothing left but heart ach
Sadness and fears

Searching searching searching
For a light to see
Just so I can see you
Just so you can see me

Up up up
You pulled me higher
You gave me back my will
You light my doused fair

Caught caught caught
You got there in time
You stopped me from hitting
You taught me to clime

Found found found
You never gave up on me
You fought and you fought
And it is now I see

Question and Answer

I am not sure what inspered this one but i kinda like it.
Question

I know I haven’t called you
It has been so very long
And I sorry I didn’t listen
When you tried to tell me I was wrong

I wish I would have taken your advise
And not done all the things I did
Things might not have been so hard
I wouldn’t have lived the life I lived

But that’s not why I’m calling now
I don’t know were else to turn
You said you would always help if we asked
That’s one lesson I’m glad I learned

You see my mother is really sick
The doctors don’t know what else they can do
They say that she is already gone
But I can’t believe that it is true

She has served her family so diligently
Never seeking for praise or gain
She has always worked to make others smile
And now she has felt little else but pain

It is not her time to leave this earth
She’s to precious and way too young
She has so much more of her love to give
So many good works that are not yet done

So father I ask you, while on my knees
To allow me to take her place
Heal her of all her many afflictions
and bring color to the cheek on her face

I am the one who deserves this
I deserve to feel all of her pain
I have done so many terrible things
I now hang my head in shame

So father please tell me your answer
Will you allow me to take her place
To be redeemed of all my sins
And allow color back to my mother’s face



Answer

My dear sweet daughter please hear me
I know that discomfort that is all too real
I know the sadness you are going through
And the pain you wish you could feel

I can not give you what you wish
But I hope you will listen while I explain
You mother is now here by my side
And I promise you, she feels no more pain

Your mother has done all that I asked
And he place in heaven is set in stone
She has been an example to all she knew
And has helped many of my children come home

It is not your mother that causes me to answer
It is the sincerity of your prayer
The love and devotion that you have expresses
In the world you live in, is very rare

You now know, is a small proportion
What it felt for me to watch my son
As he hung on the cross in agony
But still plead for the souls of everyone

I want you to know that because of that
The redemptions you desire is given to you
The pain that you think you need to feel
He felt so you wouldn’t have to

You say you’re not worthy to live on earth
But, my daughter, you don’t understand
You can be happy and feel at peace
You need only reach up and take my hand

I can lead you through your darkest days
If you open your eyes to see the light
I can guide you anywhere you go
If you take head and chose the right

So rise from your knees and hold up your head
You are forgiven by the Father because of the Son
Do as you mother taught you to do
And you will join her when your journey is done
