We’re far from heaven,
No one knows,
Burning in the atmosphere,
Yet feeling water close,

Far from heaven,
Way beneath it’s dip,
But then why can we feel,
It on our fingers’ tips?

Far from heaven,
Or really not at all,
The universe is giant,
The galaxy so small,

Far from heaven,
How can we be?
So open eyed
That we’re blind,
And can never see?

We may not reach Heaven,
But if you follow me,
We can be as far as,
We will ever be,

Where does time go? This came from a question like the title and I answered it like this…

They say that…
Time flies when you’re having fun,
But where, you ask, does it go when everything is done?

It slips through the hourglass resting on my table,
We try to stop our aging with everything we’re able,

But where, but where, does it go when it’s speeding fast?
The future becomes the present, the present the past,

I think that we ignore the seconds on the clock,
then we run and scream and hide, when death does knock,

So where does time go when it goes the slowest?
It’s spent all the time planning things before your death,

Procrastinations a killer, and evil one at that,
First it gets you at your school, then it knocks you flat.

You forget all about your plans and your dreams,
I guess time is such a thing, that’s faster than it seems.

That Little Girl-This is a true story of a girl who came to this Missions camp and told us this terribly, sad story but she was so full of hope and laughter and told us he’d come back one day…

How does that little girl have hope?
The voice whispers-Now…

When I have more than she ever had?
The voice whispers-How…

Her brother died last night in a gang fight,
The voice whispers-Here …

She says “He’ll be back tonight,”
The voice whispers-Near…

“But I know he’ll be back,” she cries,
The voice whispers-No…

But she knows they’re just lies,
The voice whispers-Know…

“I love him,” she tries to smile,
The voice whispers-Life…

“Will he be gone for awhile?”
The voice whispers-Strife…

How does she hope?
The voice whispers-See…

She’s bound by love’s rope,
The voice whispers-Be…

She went home that day full of glory,
The voice whispers-Mend

This is her true story,
And the voice whispers…END
