Through December 7, 2007

This last semester in a nut-shell…
Through confession I found freedom,
Through humility I found grace,
Through condemnation I found strength,
Through You I found my identity.
Through tears I found joy,
Through time I found the truth,
Through censure I found patience,
Through You I found peace.
Through correction I found integrity,
Through blunder I found wisdom,
Through perseverance I found vision,
Through it all, I’m closer to You…

It’s not that I didn’t love you; it’s not that I didn’t care
If you want to blame anything, blame the pride that consumed the deepest part of my soul
My father used to say to me; “Son, time will tell”
Well time has passed, and our destines are becoming oh so clear
I’m going one way; you’re going another
My destiny is still being unfold; yours is very clear
Time has told…

I wish I knew how you’re doing; I’d like to know if you’re okay. With every sunrise, with every sunset, it seems our relationship is fading away, leaving me with nothing but the bittersweet memories. Oh how I wish it would all change…
I recently drove by your house, though the memories of my childhood stood at the door, it wasn’t enough, I wanted your smile, I wanted your presence, I wanted your love…
They say a boy needs the love of his Mother, though my heart has always longed for it, I’ve never got it. Though my heart longs to hear your voice, it’s been twelve months since I heard it…why?
Altough it may never be answered, I can’t hold this against you. I’ve learned how to forgive; I’m learning how to love…
Mom, please stop running from me…

I look into your church, and
it’s not the same.
Where have they gone?
I see the empty seats, (more…)
