Long Road Traveled

Soo, I definitely did not start this blog to post up a stockpile of poems, but to be honest, I don't really know what else to post. I have no idea what it truly means to "blog". For you, that may mean revealing the events of your day, or the deepest darkest, sometimes intimate struggles/secrets of your life. As For me?...well this is how i express my feelings, my thoughts, my desires, and most of the time, my frustrations..This is life for me. So... As you ruffle through the poetic prose, sloppy illustrations and sometimes unclear analogies I post, I hope you walk away Inspired, intrigued, and well.... spurred on to dig deeper in your daily walk.

Where Am I Now?


WHERE AM I NOW, WHERE DO I GO, WHAT DO I DO? I'M DYING TO KNOW,

yOUV'E GIVEN ME HOPE, ABUNDANCE OF GRACE, YET SOMEHOW I'M LOST, NOT KNOWING MY PLACE,


bROKEN AND TORN, NEEDING A WORD, I'M SEEKING YOU DAILY, BUT STILL HAVEN'T HEARD,

sO WHAT DO I DO, WHERE DO I GO, WHERE AM I NOW, IM DYING TO KNOW?


hmmm..that's it

"Pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not quench the Spirit" 1 Thessalonians 5:17-19

My Resignation

I QUIT, I resign! I'm walking away,
I've had enough, you've made things tough and you just get in my way,
When things get rough you get real puffed and then you ruin my day,
I know you thought I'd never leave but watch.. I'm walkin away.

Yeah our history is real and we have had many years,
You've made me feel more like a man but man you've brought me some tears.
And yes its hard to let you go but I've had time to prepare,
So here's goodbye, I quit, I resign, I do not want you here.

My resignation is concrete, though it was hard to decide,
I'm tired of you and what you do, so now with this I'll abide,
Although this may seem really harsh, kinda rude, and real snide,
We've had our time and it was tight, but So Long Selfish Pride!!

You (Me)

For all of you who have once been to this place in your life. Just a little insight i wrote  as i reflected on my life! It's really something i wrote for myself, but i figured others could relate.

Today is a day where my mind wonders and ponders the truth we have left asunder!
As adults we still seem to play the same games we've played since we were younger.
And I know life is short, your strings pull taught, times running out, there's so much to do.
But for once in you life can you walk outside and have a day that’s not about you.

For me!?
Life’s been real hectic and so selfish I've been,
I've been down, been up, been left, been right, and gosh darnit I've been mean,
I've been cocky, stuck up, annoying, self-appeasing, and real blue,
Emotionally unstable and full of myself, I forgot that there existed a "You"

A You who also struggles with life, family, relationships and love,
A You who seeks the same peace, joy, and security from above,
A you who also wants to someday have a career that is tight,
A You who’s tired of the pain, and wants to make their life right.

A you who's lost sense of the truth because religion is blurred,
A you who's tired of the silence and simply wants to be heard,
A you who's caught up in the struggle of what to do, what to say,
A you who's cried and cried and cried, but never took the time to pray.

A you who seeks to feel fulfilled in the good things that you give,
A you who's looking for a friend who will love, trust and forgive,
A you who's tired of the worry, work, the sweat and the tears,
A you who's done with playing games and wants to ride the frontiers.

A you who laughs, smiles, cries, hopes, dreams, and believes,
A you who seeks, finds, loses, helps, gives and receives,
A you who plays, waits, hurts, hates, sings, prays,
A you who's sitting on my blog reading what I wrote today.

For you my friends, enemies, family, strangers, and people I never met,
Sometimes in life we say and do this that we later regret,
And since I know that life is hard and sometimes tempers will fly,
Words will spit, people will kick, and friends will say last goodbyes

I wrote these thoughts that can't be bought but could express what I have felt,
Cause lately I’ve been looking round and people are all bout themselves
And since I care, never fear, but always will state the truth,
I shared my heart, the only part that can share my love with you!

Wake up, make up, take up your cross and today just let go,
Of you agenda and try to remember that God is always in control,
And man don’t worry bout tomorrow cause she worries for herself,
And take some time to share you mind and heart with someone who needs your help.

In love,
Craig.
