Will We Ever Agree
Rebel against you, the child in me
All grown up, why can't you see
Tired of your tests, just let me be
Father, Father, will we ever agree
=========================
Strength instilled in the likes of she
Cast the bait and thrown to sea
Destinies plan is far from free
Father, Father, will we ever agree
==========================
Designated player to your emcee
Price too high with a crushing fee
Losing it all by your holy decree
Father, Father, will we ever agree
==========================
On guard, unsure, runaway, I flee
Benevolent ruler holds the master key
Predestined for what I can't foresee
Father, Father, will we ever agree
==========================
No bargaining the rent for the lessee
No reprieve for the weary beneath a tree
Got to be pure love without any debris
Father, Father, will we ever agree
==========================
Hierarchy that holds me an abductee
Ball's in your court, you are the marquis
Demands nothing less than abject we
Father, Father, will we ever agree
==========================
Have mercy your subjects cop a plea
Didn't ask for life with no guarantee
The thief of hearts remains trustee
Father, Father, will we ever agree
==========================
Actually, You did do the Same
I Do Believe
I'm human. Even the strongest among us doubt, when we are put to the tests of unrelenting loss. Just like the adolescent who rails against what their parents believe is best, we learn through trials that hold our feet to the fire. We come to our own conclusions in our own way in our own time.
Choosing the video to illustrate the point of my piece provided a powerful, personal revelation. I hadn't heard this song in a long time, yet randomly chose it, while perusing my memory bank. Bruno Mars message sings what he would do for his loved one, which I chose to convey what I would do for mine. When I got to the words that make up the refrain, it made me cry. I was struck by the words "You won't do the same". It was a profound message to me that, as the faithful believe, our creator gave his life for everyone of us. My intent is not to preach, but relay what feels like a miracle to me....a personal reminder that I am not forgotten. I am valued enough to receive a personal message from a higher power.
Sometimes it's easy to be overwhelmed by life, to lose sight of all the good, when bad things happen. God knows, I will keep trying to focus on the good and do what I can to make the bad better.
