I Choose

Sometimes just letting someone know how you feel isn't good enough. Some days you may just have to provide them with examples to let them know how much you truly care for them. It's always good to know what someone is willing to compromise to keep you in their life. 

I Choose

 

I choose short nights and long days

I choose tornadoes and hurricanes

I choose headaches and back pain

I choose dysfunctional and just strange

I choose no drinks and no food

I choose hand me downs and no shoes

I choose no wins and all lose

I choose whatever it takes to keep you

I choose to walk the extra mile, and swim the extra lap

I choose to take the extra time, and wear the extra hat

I choose to make the sacrifice and make the compromise

I choose to take the extra hurt and hear the extra lies

I choose cloudy mornings and misty nights

I choose no running water and no bright lights

I choose lack of sleep and blurry sight

I choose whatever I have to, just to keep you in my life

I choose the red if you hate the blue

I choose the shade if you hate the hue

I choose the dark if you hate the view

What I really mean to say is

I choose you

I Am Sorry

It seems that every day we can ask God to do something in our lives, yet we are not doing the things that he wants us to do. I just want to apologize to God for not being consistent, and pray that I can improve in my walk with him.

I’m Sorry

 

God

I am so sorry

I’m not the person you want me to be

My heart has been covered with cement

And every time I try to chip away at what used to be so innocent

The rocks impede my path

I am barefoot

I have not soaked my feet in your word

I take every step without your armor

And expect to advance unprotected

Living by chance

When I should be living for you
