Be Kind Please Rewind

I’ve been praying for a rewind
My hearts been begging for a pause
The buttons won’t let me press repeat
I think it’s my favorite song

The melody had me spinning
Lost in the meaning of the lyrics
I tried to move on – fast forward
But other songs just can’t beat it

I’ve been praying for a rewind
Another chance to hear that song
The one that made my heart smile
The one I’ve wanted all along

It’s not a one hit wonder
It hasn’t made the iTunes chart
The song is rare and beautiful
Striking every chord inside my heart

I tried to press fast forward
Skip over another track or two
But the lyrics don’t sound the same
The other songs just won’t do

I’ve been praying for a rewind
Another chance to play it back
The song is you – the song was us
I want a rewind, but you’ve hit eject.

Trust The Journey

She knows amazing will be there soon
As she takes a moment to gaze at the moon
The flickering stars, miracles in the dark
Just like the hope sparkling in her heart

Watching the wind sway through the trees
Courage ignited by the touch of the breeze
Although it’s so cold she can see her breath
She knows the best hasn’t arrived just yet

She reminds herself how far she’s come
Having travelled so far, alone so long
Roads filled with dips, potholes and bends
Long roads of heartache, pain and dead ends

But there’s something in the air tonight
Maybe it’s the stars, breeze or moonlight
A realization takes over, serene and calming
Transfixed admiration in her surroundings

Something about the night restores her faith
Faith in herself and trust in her strength
A belief in her journey and in God’s plan
When amazing arrives, she’ll understand.

In Between Chapters

I’ve written about insecurities
Lost loves and broken hearts
I wrote about empty moments
Of laying alone in the dark

I wrote down some of my dreams
As if it would make them real
I’ve written him hopeful letters
To try and change the way he feels

I wrote so much, so often
I wrote all my feelings away
I wrote him out of my life
And now there’s nothing left to say

I wrote down everything I deserve
Future hopes and new desires
But I’m finding myself out of words –
I need to be inspired.

Exit 59

I saw you today,
You were going the other way
The truth is
We’ve always been on different roads
In different directions.

You were driving towards her
I was driving towards hope
I wanted to turn around
So we could take the same road.

We were both driving through the tolls
You had an ez pass, I paid $1.80
I couldn’t help but think,
if you’d have looked up
Then maybe, just maybe
you would’ve seen me

But you didn’t.
And I guess you never did
You were always looking
for something better.
Something more.
You loved the attention.

But I just wanted yours.
Just a glance in my direction.
But the moment passed,
and you passed through easily.
But I paid. And I always will.

I was left hoping maybe, just maybe
Someday we will be headed in the same direction –
on the same road.

Nothing Is Ever As It Seems

Sometimes she is lost
Other times she is found
Either way, no matter what
The world keeps spinning ’round

Sometimes she is weak
Other times she is strong
Either way, regardless
It doesn’t feel right or wrong

Sometimes she feels complete
Other times, just empty
Either way, she’s insecure
Happiness is tempting

Sometimes she’s independent
Other times, sick with need
Either way, no matter how long
She hasn’t found who she’s meant to be.
