well kinda ironic how i jus told edmund like 5 minutes ago. its not the quantity but the quality of friends that you have. popularity shadows the true meaning of friendship. greed hides the power of love. dishonesty covers the pain of truth. sometimes the pain is something you must bear. take frodo for instance. burden of the ring. why's it ironic? why all the skepticism?
certain things you treasure so dearly. think. is it materialistic? can you help yourself? why are you spending so much time and effort on something you're not sure will work out eventually? there must be a reason. certainty is what we all want. unpredictability presents setbacks and torments us inside and out.
"Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything.
That you could hope to win
And what would you intend to find?
Solitude? Your peace of mind?
Holding out for something less
Than touching the hand of God?"
certain things are so hard to let go. a relationship lost. a person lost. emotional lost. object lost. wad we often don't see is when we cling on so tightly and even desperately to one thing we lose sight and focus on wad means more to us. these are the things we take for granted. family friends comfort love.
think about this for a while.
walking down the lane
you search for your light
hide the pain
keep them all out of sight
remove the mask
uncover the face
complete the task
sheltered by the grace
you search for a path
find a way to deal
consequences the aftermath
imagine how it would feel
swallow the pill
take back your life
give it a new fill
nothing can justify
nothing will comply
the judgement when you die
in thoughts deeds words and action
everything will come to his attention
"everything will be alright"
the skies light up to a bright
you are my child
i love you.
look around you. things you value. people you value. how much you want that. he wants you more. how much close you hold it to yourself. the same way he wants you to follow him. take up the cross. let him cleanse you. feed you. clothe you and mould you to do the good of his will.
love yourself love him
