Lydia J. McFarland

Outside of me, I look different,
yet in a sense I am the same.
Inside me I am confused,
and full of shame.
...

I'm sorry for letting you down,
I have been nowhere to be found.
Making promises I know I can't keep
worrying you sick, making it difficult for you to sleep
...

I gave the world my son,
and he laid down his life for it.

Even so it goes on turning unaware,
...

Baby girl... Why do you desire all these earthly things?
when I can give you the wisdom, wealth and security
of more than one thousand kings.
I am your God, your soul survivor
...

Birds can sing
Birds can fly
Birds can see across the sky.
...

Yeh' I know that it's sunday and all,
but I ain't to ole tuu come ou'side an' see
who try'n to steal'n my chick'ns
You ain't supposed tuu wear black,
...

I hear the soft sweet wind,
as it carries whispering voices away,
as the cool morning breeze passes me by,
I feel the warm sun comfort my cold soul,
...

A lovely place, is a place of security,
it is full of peace, honor and well-being.
A place everyone wants to go,
but won't take head to any direction.
...

Wow! you've still got that spark,
my heart still skips a beat when you are near
it's been years I know,
but I still remember,
...

In the morning if I arise...
I will turn against those,
who are not wise
you will see
...

When I smile, there's a sparkle in my eyes...
it's you... it's you, Lord... it's you.
When I laugh, there is happiness in my heart,
it's you, it's you, it's you.
...

your words and inspiration
for they are like tender caresses,
on my brown skin,
your wisdom captivates my mind,
...

I shouldn't have ever opened the door
and invited you in,

we are so alike it's like we are some kin
...

How many secrets untold,
does one treasure chest hold
in the possession of Pandora's Box?
...

I am not perfect, nor have I acquired all
of the skills required in order to enter
The Almighty's Kingdom.
I do not forget my past, nor do I dwell on it,
...

Regardless of what you've done,
think of the battle you've won...

Overcoming guilt and distress,
...

Lost in thought my dreams corrupted,
My heart is crumpled deep down inside.

I'm quite lonely, yet a cold heart
...

Deeper than the deepest ocean
Is my love for you.

It is wider than the Grand Canyon,
...

Living Life
Young
Devouring Death
In
...

Strange as it may seem,
I do have these feelings.

I care for you so much,
...
