Baptism Day
 
  Once upon a time
I was a broken fool
I made mistakes
I felt a trembling guilt
My heart broken
Lovers decieved me
Playing lieing charms
Promises of love died
Draining and breaking
My delicate heat my fragile soul
Longed I for love again
Tired of broken love
Tired of chasing the tide
Tired of waiting to be fullfilled
Weary of undernourishing love
Love is a game
That I wish not to play
I've had enough
No more taking the gamble
Love isn't worth all the hype
I'm barking up the wrong tree
Today it shall be gone
Just a forgotten painful scar
Clothed in white
Ready I await
Shattered hopes
Broken dreams
BE GONE!

It's time...
Slowly I descended into the warm waters
My father too in white
He gold me sternly but tenderly
Proclaiming the prayer
Solemnly, and lovingly
It came to my view
The covanent pending
With a grand 'amen'
A sudden dunk with care
In the water I felt...
A healing of the aches
Burdens lighter
Warmth, soothe to my soul
Balm, calm for the mind
Worries fled, woes bewent
With a silent prayer of thanks I bore
Dead of old, Birth, renew
Healing waters
Light was found
Dark gone yonder
Arose did I
My father embraced me
I gave my heart
To the one who loves me most
More than any mortal
My heart in gentle care
The love I craved found
Abundant joy
Love beyond mortality
The fire burned
My soul was fed
My sorrow fled
My heart mended
Sins forgiven
Who needs a lover?
When you have a loving Father and Brother?
I no longer weep
They are always near
Drying every tear
Never I to befall love again
Except the love from above....
