I got troubles that you never heard of
You got troubles that I only dream.
You got words that offer compassion
I got words that just make you scream.
I know
I know
I know
You don’t know
I tried
I tried
I tried
Time knows
Time knows
Time don’t know
Time tries
Time tries
I know time
I know time
Time knows
You know how
to sound like
you know how
to expound on
my lows and
the ground that
I hit once the same
…
The clouds can hold rain, but they can’t hold me.
My hands can hold water but they can’t hold the sea.
What do I know? All I see is what you show.
Over the bridge
Across the tracks
Whatever you call it
I’m not going backAfter all that’s been said
There’s just one pillow left on the bed.She’s a head turner but I’m on the back burner.
When a touch is just a fix
Then the trigger only clicks.
She had danced long enough, it was time to meet the band
she had sailed through the rough, gonna take the Captain’s hand.
she had strolled through the garden, now she sees the Botanist
she was lonely here without him, now she’s with the one she missed.
We count our days in years
What we reap we give
When our time on earth is o’er
We’ve eternity left to live.
An elderly lady I knew from church passed away this morning, and I was thinking about her a lot today. She was a widow for quite a while and living on her own. She had just got a room at an old age home, and was excited to move there, so it seemed. She was staying at her brother’s home for a few nights and sleeping in the same room with her sister-in-law.
Her SIL woke up in the morning and noticed she had passed away during the night. I thought she might have been thinking something like “I think I’d like to go now…” and off she went. Peaceful.
