Anger
As I sit here and think about all that is going on, I can't help but feel the anger boil up inside, Why do we have to do this now, Why do we have to be the "good" guy all the time?
"Just call on us," we seem to say, "Call big brother we will save the day," I don't want you to call on us, Big brother will not save you every time.
I hate it that our men have to die, It kills me to think that people have to wait, I have to wait, Can't we find peace?
Peace, what a deceiving word, We use it in so many ways, We say "Peace to you," when we leave church, But then go home and battle this plaugue.
Hate causes war, causes anger, Why do we have to do this now, I can't seem to understand, All I held dear is stripped away to make room for anger and fear.

The fear in me subsides
I walk around and see, that many here Love me. I cannot help but see, That all they want for me is the best, "Hey there, chin up, it is going to be ok," They say to me, "We love you, and we hate that you are sad."
I embrace these words, they are like A balm for my wounded soul I don't care now that we do not have peace, For I have found it here. There are so many out there that do not have the support I do.
I go from here feeling refreshed and renewed, Alive when I feel at the end, Because you are here telling me, "Move on my friend, move on!" You are my strength when I cannot do it alone.
I thank you friends for helping me see, There is more in me then hate and anger, Sorrow and defeat. I am a mighty warrior, Here to serve a mighty king, I lift my chin up high.
I say "Thank you all, you are my friends." I lift my chin up high so that I can go on, Fighting another day, for another friend, If you are hurt or angry, Call on me as I have called on you.

Hope
"Do not be discouraged," He says to me, "Find peace in me." These are words spoken to my heart, By the one person that can bring me hope.
I often wonder why He would choose me, I am but a young girl who doesn't ever say much, But He did, He choose me for a purpose, Maybe it was by chance that He lifted me up.
I don't think that it was, I needed a hope, a savior, He needed a friend, a lover. He is the lover of my soul, my one delight.
I am His bride and He, my groom, We are both nervous, but I do not fear Him, I gladly take his hand and walk by his side, As He leads me to His home, our home.
I have found hope with Him, My savior and friend, Lover and provider, Thank you Jesus for coming after me.

"This sky is so... AWESOME! It is so huge with so many stars each competing for a spot to shine. Every once in a while, as I scan this vast array of the stars I can see small distant clusters of them, it is so amazing to see." Taken from a journal entry dated July 29, 2002.
AWE
As I sit here tonight I am in awe of your majesty, You are the awesome creator of the vastness I see, You gave us these stars to that we can truly know that you love us, I thank you Lord for giving me the eyes to see.
In awe I sit and look up, You painted a tapestry up in the sky for me, The canvas that you used is a black as ebony and as wonderful as you, The stars are wonderful tonight.
I sit here in awe that you gave me this night, Though I am tired and worn, Smelly and gross, you gave me the eyes to see, This beauty you call the night sky.

Free
I am free now free from hate free from pain free from anger
I am free now because you loved me because you cared for me because you are there for me
I am free now you have called me home you have dressed me in white you have laid down your life
I am free now free to help free to give free to love
I am free now because you died for me because you are God's Son because you set me free.

I am just a vessel (turned into a song)
I am free now Free from pain Free from sickness Free from sin.
I am free now Don't worry I am here no more I am free now.
I am free now Christ has called me home I am free now Christ has called me home.

This poem:

In awe I sit and look up, You painted a tapestry up in the sky for me, The canvas that you used is a black as ebony and as wonderful as you, The stars are wonderful tonight. I sit here in awe that you gave me this night, Though I am tired and worn, Smelly and gross, you gave me the eyes to see, This beauty you call the night sky.
