"How Dim Were My Hopes"
How Dim Were My Hopes As I Wandered Among The Roses!
Among the Blossoms and thorns, How little seemed my Cries for Help.
How Hopeless The Night Will Seem Before the Day Of Doom Arrives
But What is that Doom, But A Great Hope Hidden In Suprise
Show Me Doom, and Darkness, and I'll show you light of hope
How dim were my hopes that I would ever be loved, before i lived my life with thee!
How dim were my hopes that God could ever love me, until I Was Found?
How Dim were my hopes before things got so much better again
How Dim Were My Hopes when everyone was full of despair and wept
How Dim Were My Hopes on a lonely Stretch of Highway
How Dim Were My Hopes on the Third Day of Ressurection
Did anyone have hope, after those hellish days of crucifixion?
How Could we?  How could anyone, having seen the light?
How could anyone have hoped to be comforted, in that hour of despair!
Oh , that God Could have been merciful, when he saw Us All Lying There!
In JEsus' Name,
Amen

"What Was Faith"
What Was Faith To Every Man When We Chose To Believe in Thee?
In Our Faith, Can You See How Afraid We Are, How We Turn Helplessly to God?
There is nothing for anyone to reason, beyond to cast his cares on God Almighty
What Was Faith, But A tiny Mustard seed, in david's heart when he slew Goliath?
What Was Faith but a sparkle in the shadows, When God said, "Let There Be light?"
What Was Faith when Moses overthrew Egyptian slavery?
What was faith when we wandered in the desert four hundred years?
What was faith, when the Devil Tempted Jesus in the Wilderness?
What was faith in these times, but a dim and seemingly hopeless faith?
What was faith, but a light in the night like a dim but persistent star?
What was faith when Death Passed Upon The First Born In Egypt?
What Was Faith When The Walls of Jericho Came Crashing Down?
What Was Faith When Saul Fell Trembling To His Knees?
What Was Faith in all those moments, but a dim light, a hope shining in darkness?
No matter how hopeless and little our Faith may seem, at the time,
Sometimes it is the little awareness of  One's individual faith that protects us all
Sometimes the littlest bits of faith are the most essential
Sometimes the dealbreaker comes down to the One With The Most Faith
Sometimes God answers us in powerful ways we cann't explain
Sometimes God Seems Far Away, But Other Times He seems So Very Near!
Sometimes God seems to wait for us to discover and Find God, in the Ruins of a city
What Was Faith When they said we were too small?  Or too few? Or too weak? Or Unimportant?
God has always admired our strength to  Have Faith in God Throughout even the Hardest of trials!
It is one of God's unique ways of showing us he cares, throughout the bible!
In JEsus' Name,
Amen

"Surely Not"
If One Feels Incredibly lost and Impossible To be Found
If One Doubts that God Could Care Enough to love them at all
When We feel most outcast and Forsaken, like a lamppost alone in the snow
Surely Jesus Must Care Enough To Love Every One Of Us!
Surely there is nothing too dark to be penetrated by the Living God
Although the world around you may seem difficult to stay alive and survive,
No matter how impossible and daunting the odds may be set against oneself
No Matter how great the darkness may threaten the faintest light
No matter how hopeless or useless One May Feel
Abandonment by God, it isn't real.  In Our Darkest moments, I believe
That is God's way of calling us home, of drawing us near to his heart
When Any of us feel most forsaken or hopeless to be saved
These are the times when God is Drawing us tightly around his heart!
God Has A Close Personal relationship with every single living soul on earth
Is there anyone so unloveable that God Could Cast Them Out of Heaven?
Surely not, Oh God Unfathobale!  Surely not!
I believe that, at times when each of us feels the most brokenhearted of all,
Then in those moments, in fact, That God is all the closer to us within our hearts
God is Closer To The Brokenhearted, When You feel Alone he is nearer to You
God Love us Most When Our Faith is Tested Or Tried, He is drawing us near
And It takes my faith unseeing to make this truly clear
If We Walk By Faith and Not By Sight. Then Where is God, but near?
Surely he is nearer to our hearts when we repent, surely God Will not Forsake us!
Surely not, Oh Lord, Surely Not!
In JEsus' Name,
Amen!

"In The Darkest Of Night"
In The Darkest Hours of Night, Who is there?
Who Can Comfort our clammy Brows in hours of sorest need?
Who Can Reach into the darkness and unearth the truth beneath?
Who Can Penetrate The Hours Between Midnight and Dawn, But He?
Who But Jesus, Can Break through to that dawn in our hours of need?
Who can see the light everlasting far beyond, who leads us home?
What lonely Watchkeeper will One Find in the Darkest of Night?
Who Will answer that call, But Jesus Christ?  When One is lost and Forsaken,
The Lord Jesus Calms That Sea, He Outstretches his hand and Calms the storm.
When We Feel most Forsaken and lost in our troubles...who can answer us?
Who Will find us in all our squalor and pain?  Relinquishing the light of day who answers us?
To Whom Can I Cry When I feel lost in the blue abyss like i'm drowning?
At my most hopeless, whose face is it that I should pray to comfort me?
Who, in my time of need?  Who is most present by our sides in hours of darkness?
Would he abandon us, oh would he forsake any of us? surely not one of us is forsaken
Surely the devil sets his snares and traps for humanity in Vain.
Surely there is a companion, a keeper, a friend, a protector, to keep vigil when we sleep!
Surely God Must let Our Jesus Comfort Us All In Hours of Need!
Surely, Jesus must never forsake me nor you!  No matter how formidable the weather may be,
Surely JEsus penetrates with loving Peace and Hope, The Darjest moments of our lives!
From the loneliest memories of our lives we are all smothered in turmoil.
In Our Hours of Darkness, when we can't reach for god
When our faith rests in the power of God, When the prayers have been said.
Who lord, Whill answer our calls, But Jesus The Christ, The Lamb of God?
Who, Lord, But The Lord Jesus, To answer our prayers?
In JEsus' Name,
Amen!

"Rockabye Baby"
Rockabye Baby, asleep in the straw
Mother would cry tears of joy if she saw
Morning's softest sunbean all swaddled in hay
Asleep on the lttle room wherein ye lay
No One Dare my sweet baby to annoy
At no price for his slumber to destroy!
Rockabye Baby, asleep in the straw
Mother would cry tears of joy if she saw
her little boy sleeping in safe from the dark
she'd have wept to find you homeless in the park
as i did eight years ago, and how the time has flown
from shy child into eager man you've surely grown!
And what the strength, and o'ver what brow,
But God Did Stoop To Kiss Thee Here, Now!
I'll rock thee to sleep till the time passes hence
till the moon is asleep and the hills become dense!
I'll rock the to sleep till the nights are all over,
In thee is my purpose my sewwtest lover!
In JEsus' name,
Amen!

"MY Little Boy Sleeping"
Among The Most Soothing emotions is that Safety of predawn darkness
in which laying in our little warm bed, is my little Boy Sleeping
His hungry little breathe pants in and out like a seacoast laden with waves
making me feel old.  When a man is homeless- this is the worst nightnare of
a mother!  PErhaps my greatest contribution was ever my kindness...not that
it matters, anymore....yet when see him lying on his back like a heavenly angel,
in his little coccoon all nuzzled warm and dry, safe from the cold of night
aa little sigh of happiness and ectsasy escape s my lips!  A job well done!
Thus is My Little Boy Sleeping.
In jesus' Name,
Amen!

"5Am Cuddle"
5 Am We cuddle with arms around one another,
Warm and softly nuzzled into a carpet of soft blankets
the sun crisply rising in the windowpane, You and I have time
to cuddle within one anothers arms and legs, backs and heartbeats and hair unbound
Whatever the night pursued us into this embrace last night, is evaporated in sunrise light
Whatever evil the days holds out before us to face, is not yet come, and so,
in this loving time, gathering you to me senses and breathing you in!
Your Soft steady warm heartbeat, the rising of your breath, the calm steadiness of it
how safe one feels here in our little home in our little bed together.  it is a reward
from God, this time to love and be loved, here, drifiting into and out of sleeping!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

"Education"
When I Was A Child,
I was becoming Educated,
My Education my teachers
were always urging me to try even harder
(why?)  Because it was vital to...The Greater Good
The Arts and Humanities Benefitted Those Around Me
To Invest In One's Own Home Culture and Give Nourishment
To tHe Little One Praying and seeking to grow in our little community...
No- I don't believe there could be a dream Too silly nor "Too Small"
I Believe in realizing our Dreams and caring for one another Great and Small.
I believe, that there is no life "too small"  ToSave And We
Should Take Advanbtage of the "The Present Moment" The present, to work
every day, like a constanty burning star in the night sky, to continue to grow,
towards that light which was our education as children, that to which
we all sought to seek and grow!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

"Nourish"
In Order to foster Growth and Give Life To The World,
One Must Nurture the precious life structures at the tree's base:
The little fauna and Flora immediately present in the spring rain
"To Nourish" the greater good seems to give one's heart to the pursuance of good things
To grasp the well-understood frameworks,  the little hometown, one's roots, clustered
about healthier trunks and branches growing out of the infrastructure.  A little Culture
Goes A Long Way...Every little bit of nourishment every writer or artist can donate to the world
that we each "Give Something of Ourselves, Whatever We are Able, Like a Church Contributuion"
Every Person has unique gifts and if we are Willing to give of Ourselves, Then that is fertile ground...
Who knows, even children themselves may eventually be created from nothing
and where there was nothing before, The community may nourish itself from the roots
and give to one another, benefitting the greater good!  Where people are willing to help
one another, let us there gather... and go from there!
In JEsus;' Name,
Amen!

Gentle, Soft May Spring Rain Falls Upon THe Green Earth
Nourishing the fragile life forces at its surface
The dusty libraries wirh weary writers frowning in hard work
Gather a little bit of moisture in the freshness of spring rain and sunshine
Although Weary, these writers recognize the beauty of a summer rainstorm
Gratitude for the gentleness of  God's Grace, the weather reminds us how blessed we all are
The little surface of the earth lifts for the light like a flower straightenening up to bloom
If we can foster ideas and hopes among ourselves, and nurture dreamers and our dreams...
A Little encouragement is all that the most beautiful ideas need in order to grow that thrive
"What Might Have Been" starts to look like a promise of "All that we could Create By Tomorrow"
In My Little Town, I am proud of every person coming and going in this soft spring rain!
I believe if we have faith and encouarage one another, then each of us can nurture and foster the life within the heart, that which seeks to grow up through the sidewalk cracks ever pressing to the light
"that which might have Been" is now a thing we can change.  If we can make a Difference in our World,
Well don't you think that would be a much better world?  A dedication to the greater good
/In Jesus' Name,
Amen

...When One is Proud of One's Home one;s country, one's govertnment.
You can hold Your Head Up High In A Good Country Without Shame or Guilt.
It is a beautiful feeling!

TO Theodore--That, I Love You Madly-- that is, lacking in sanity.  Without health, I love thee madly.  I love thee to a madness, without reason,,, I love you, madly--!

Everywhere I imagined literature, all around every ounce of literature was a lot of boundaries and rules...i thought to myself, what are boundaries and rules if they are not meant to be broken by myself?  And all these boundaries and rules would require a strict enforcement of literary law... and What Is the definition of "ridiculous?"
So I plan to outdo every convievable law of writing,  That I might create some new forms I could adapt my work around.  To Trounce in moats of Rules that were hitherto nonconceived, and to topple them,

"The Very Idea of an Insane Asylum alloat in an uncivilised world...
like a paragon of virtue... albsulotely reccommend to one's tastes, aestheticallly, that one must inevitably attempt to "Escape" From the Asylum. In the first place!  If it werent laced with intrisically powerful notion of "Freedom" and "Escape"... wel then how tasteless that stay in an asylum would be downright boring, without the hope of an escape!!

What are we, after all, if We are not Essentially "Wild " from deep within ourselves?  Like the wild indian?..And what Does it Mean, To Be "Wild"?  Does anyone have the freedom of being "A Wilderness...Within Oneself."  Outside, Exposed, yet within, perfectly untameable, perfectly, ludicrously Free!  A Freedom to Defy and horrify, the basic ideas of education!
How outrageous- to considet one's own sanity optional or given, that is, not having any idea What It Meanse To "Be Sane"!

In The Darkness of Night, when the barbarity settles on the screechy panes like branches in a gust of wind...Do You Feel Alone...Or Do You Feel At Home?"  To feel alone is typical of adolescents and the coming-of-age.  To Feel "At Home" is to be more of a parent, a mother or parent -figure, or at least more mature than a decade before.
But I Think it's an inalienable human right to discover this curiosity within our owns souls, wherever we may be at any given time."

"If Once can own One's Own PResence in a Room To fully "Occupy the space we are taking up." then one can Hope To Realize the Value in the concept of Sanity"."Be Present; Be Steady; Be Calm." is surely to "Be Sane!"

To Aspire towards Sanity is a noble dream...
But yet a formidable one, indeed... How does one define "Sanity?"
Who, but a Doctor, could define such a concept?  And. can we not be civiised; yet not sane?
It is altogether one thing to Be Sane and Another To Nobly Attempt Sanity in an insane State!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen!

"Civization in Spring time "Are We  To Be "Civilized,?"
And What is at the root of humanity, that divides the sane from
madness and all folley transforms into steadfast "Workiing"
what is it that makes humanity humane?  What is it, jsut to sit alone in a room and be "Civil"
And what a healthy concept that would be for everyone to understand for themselves!  I we each
saw ourselves as egocentric epicenters of society,"
From which would ripple out all results of cause and effect.like seismic waves" and ,
"What worth is the Engligh-american Ideal of "Being a Decent, Civilised Individual,"
As it were, In "A Room Of One's Own?"  What is the significance of ocvcupation, to occupy, a room
completely without madness...in a sane way?    Is South Carolina Truly Civilised at this point?  Or are we truly Still Barbarians scraping out livings from clay and rock and driftwood?"  Of what usefullness is a "Persons with a grasp of I.e., "To Be Civilised>..even, sane?"
We may be a civilised little community...But are we all sane... too difficult to determine."

Oh, would for a little wooden sailboat, to glide across the surface of the pond!
With Rubber-bellied boat and cotton sails and rigging and all, to sail the pond!
Children's dreams are delicate and fragile, as everybody's dreams are.  And Would that
We Had A HEarty Sampler of these Dreameries, we might finds suitable rigging fo our ships!
Grownups must communicate such fancy dreams with children and bequeath unto them such good toys, as to skillfully endeavor a joint sailing expedition "across the pond!"
In JEsus' NAme,
Amen

"Visions of Insanity and Hospitalization"

The Concept of Freedom Temporarily Suspended

That Anyone Should Discover, here in this quiet little brick structure,

a desire for "Freedom", and how as to attain it...In getting well,. every single patient,

one at a time, and meanwhile, together,,, as a whole...

I remember around 5am, awaiting my first day at the hospital, looking out across

dewy Cream White Dogwood Blossoms spattering against a woodscape of pines and mimosasas

All pretty in the twilight...In The distance seemed the suggestion of flowing water, as of a river,,,

although closer inspection would reveal this muddy "river" to be a wooded avenue, along which was gathered , A pleasing assortiment of various wildlife.  I remember the streetlamps lighting up the night in milky lamplight,:Arcs of white light cascading from poles forming dim pathways in darkness across which one might envdeavor to tread, to travel, as appaling as the concept may be of "Escaping"...To "Escape" The Sanitarium seemed incredibly good deal more daunting than to just "Get Well and be released"...In the shady area, darkness and gloom fed the imagination with fleeting glimpses of " escape to the Other Side" about as wild as the fondest imagination could dare attempt..

What "Is' Freedom, in its most essential?  And does the concept of freedom not become crystal clear in the shades of light and darkness on the muddy flowing avanue?  When frredom is so blind that one fantasizes about running away from white-clad youths with injection shots to tranquilize overexcited patienets

"Integrity"
To Believe in The Human Race
Is To Put One Foot In Front Of Another
With a Confident Faith that each of us is not Alone in doing so;
that we're actually coming together as a whole...
In Individual Integretiy, in moving something from one place to another,
In meeting Goals day by day, we can come together as individuals woking alone
and yet seeking to benefit the greater good as a whole.
In JEsus' Name,
Amen!

If we Each Care, about the little things we each do,
And how they add onto the burdens of the future generations
If every person cared, took reslponsibility for themselves, their loved ones,
Their work, how they hope to contribute to society as a whole, even on poem at a time.,..
One must have faith in the integrity of "Moving Forward" of "Putting One foot in front of another"
These Small Earnest Acts of Industriousness Do Add Up, And There is a menaning in these things,
a moral, a message, to believe in, with a moral:  "If every one does find it inside us to each care,
If each person takes the greater good upon themselves, for goodness' sake,,,
I think, "Sharing a Vision" is iessential, and any form of encouragemtnent from others, is a blessing!
Things don't Organize themselves... It takes compassion, from everyone, in general, towards everyone... We cancome together to Benefit the Human Race and Build Things, Together, That We otherwise couldn't have seen!"
Her's to Americans, and America, and the Whole Human Race, moving forward, in every one of us,
all the time!  To humanity!  God Bless Us All, Every One!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen!

"I Went Looking for You"
I Went looking for You, Theodore
I was afraid you might have bumped your head
Wandering alone among dark and light, you stumble home
All frustrated your clammy little fists protruding from snot-coated jacket sleeves
thee art at once a child and yet a grownup somehow, profound in your responsibility!
If there is hope for everyday citizens, it lies in the us government helping everyday people....
If the government has faith in the people, and gives them wings to fly on, then--
then there isn't any thing we can not accomplish, together!  A little hope, a little incentive--
sometimes the most small gestures are the most reaffirming and uplifting!
I agree, that it is crucial that Each person, as A People. would Word Towards A Common Goal...
I really do... Believe, in these cheesy truths i keep repeating.  To know there are people who support me in the government, is more uplifting than i could ever explain!  Thank you!  God Bless!
In Jesus' Name,
Amen!
