"Fairytale"
If you creep up to me quietly
Where I kneel in my beggar's cloak
I would look out at you with bright eyes
And take you to a place
Where trolleys and streetcars wander about
And the lights are strung like Christmas lights
The people march up and down the street singing
Banging on their kettle drums and carrying candles
Stomping out the devil in soft velvet boots
And buying drinks at the corner stand
The streets are lit with warm lights
And the lonely taxis wander the night
Carrying home people who were lost
Carrying them to their homes
The stores are full of origami
 And paper mache lanterns are
The street vendors are selling umbrellas
And it is just starting to rain
I'd watch your mouth round into a little "O"
And I'd smile up at you warmly
And hand you one of your toys
As I tuck you into bed
While street musicians are pounding
 through the night with bright music
But for Ye it is time to sleep
Ye are lucky, oh Ye are blessed
The streets are not as soft as your warm bed
And when you dream the night will be kind to you
And the storm shall be your friend
I knew that you were very special
The moment I met you
I was looking for you then
And I am with you now
The world is too much for me now
And I am just enough for you
I hope your kings and pirates storm the castle
And carry you over the hill
Where you can join them singing in the streets
All singing songs together
Then don't forget to come back home
And quietly close youre eyes
You will always be my child
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

"Love Poem"
Oh My Love, I love you so
When we lay in the open night
All our lives lay before us
And I just wanted to hold you
You've shorn your soft and pretty hair
It's fallen to the floor
All the things we've left behind
May they trouble us never more
If God loves us anymore
I hope he puts a path under our feet
We are walking forward together now
I love you so very much
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

"Love"
I hope you break free and yet keep your home
I hope you have both things
Shoes on your feet and a warm jacket
I hope you have lots of little friends
As for me, I will be your mother
For I will love you unconditionally
I am beginning to be proud of you
My heart fills with joy for your success
May there always be something green growing
Near the chamber where you come to stay
May it grow through dark and light
And through war and through peace
May there always be something warm
To warm yourself against
May there always be someone to hold you
So you never feel alone
And little dolls to smile back at you
So you always feel loved
He Came to teach us love and kindness
To lead us to the truth
The truth is to do good things
Good things in this life
I wish I had all the gifts of heaven
I'd lavish them on you daily
Just a few little gifts will have to do
Just a few gifts to make you happy
I love you with a love that's true
And I am not sorry
Though I beat down the fortress walls
I'll tell you that I love you
Oh just to see you smile my way
That is all that I ask
But I know there are so many other people
Who need help as badly as you
I cannot help them all but pray
That God could hear this prayer
Give little burrows to the poor
Oh Lord find everyone a shelter
Don't cast a cold look on the ones cast out
I wish I had an empty motel
I'd fill it up with hungry people
And there would be music and feasting
I'm glad to be a child in this world
Because this world is too cruel for me
I just don't understand the rules
I'm grateful to be free
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

To save one's own life
Remains the test of time
To keep alive the fire that burns
Come whatever may come
Oh first love, die not
Die not and be proud
Amen

"Blessing"
Some people are heartbreaking
You love them with all you have
They dig deep and nourish themselves
And they become so very beautiful
You see that they need space to grow
And let them take their time
Time may be the most precious thing they need
The thing that they cannot live without
So may you inherit time
May long days stretch before you
With hardly anything in it
And may you find your attempts welcomed in
Because mine never were
I hope you find someone
Who really sets you free
Someone who listens to your heartbeat
And doesn't say anything about it
I hope God blesses you
With things you've never had
I hope he gives you every good thing
And I hope you never break my heart
Though storms crash and the flame flicker
I hope  you never leave me
That you're loyal and faithful always
As you have always been
I hope we're always together
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

I made you a little bed in the corner of a dark room
With the light streaming through the curtains
A place you could curl up in a little ball and cry
A place where you would feel safe and sound
A place where you could be peacefully alone
A place where we could be alone together
I want to cuddle you until my nights are spent through
In Jesus' Name,
Amen

If my love for you was daffodils
I'd throw them in the sky
We'd lay and watch the clouds pass by
Holding hands together

If my love for you was a picture
I'd paint you a little cottage
With roses climbing up the walls
And stones making a path

If my love for you was a symphony
It would be a day in spring
The woodwinds would dance quickly
And the trumpets would call us home

If I could feed you dinner
It would be cream of celery
And cucumber sandwiches
And asparagus tomato quiche

If I could lay with you in eternity
We'd talk about the things we did
The times we thought we'd never get through
Yet we did, somehow

A life is a beautiful thing to have
You enjoy it until it's gone
And when it's over you celebrate
Because yours was a good one
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
