<div>
and that brighter day</div>
<div>
is going change</div>
<div>
the mindset of a lazy society</div>
<div>
He already forgave</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
oh a brighter day</div>
<div>
is coming again</div>
<div>
what a joyful day when we meet</div>
<div>
in his Kingdom.</div>

<div>
i played as happily as a child</div>
<div>
i laughed hysterically at jokes i didn't understand.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
when i was a child</div>
<div>
i asked countless questions</div>
<div>
i was more trusting of people and i believed their words.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
when i was a child</div>
<div>
i loved big airplanes, barbies and horse racing</div>
<div>
i loved visits to my father on week-ends. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
when i was a child</div>
<div>
i believed in the tooth fairy and monsters under the bed</div>
<div>
i wanted so badly to go to wonderland with alice.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i was more playful</div>
<div>
i took more risks as a child</div>
<div>
i never broke any promises.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
when i was a child</div>
<div>
i cherished bedtime stories</div>
<div>
i always went to sleep with a night lamp.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
when i was a child</div>
<div>
i spoke as children do</div>
<div>
and i knew my place.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
when i was a child</div>
<div>
i got punished when i should</div>
<div>
but i was never beaten.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i was never tied to a chair and forgotten</div>
<div>
i was never put in a microwave or an oven</div>
<div>
i was never found in a trash can.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i was never starved or neglected</div>
<div>
i was never abused or misused or stomped on</div>
<div>
i was never alone.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
oh children of today</div>
<div>
who are robbed of a wonderful childhood</div>
<div>
who are forced to grow up too fast.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
who never laugh and know no joy</div>
<div>
i love you because i don't know</div>
<div>
if i could make it today the way you do. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
and all i have are tales </div>
<div>
of a woman who was once a child </div>
<div>
but has since put away those things.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
God, bless the children</div>
<div>
please, bless the children.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
thank you.</div>
<div>

tock1 am in the morning, and i just can't sleep...i'm in New York.<div><br /></div><div>i'm in NY cause i lost my job, i'm in NY cause my grandfather is worsening, i'm in NY cause somehow i feel this is where God wants me to be right now so i'm not afraid.</div><div><br /></div><div>my second home. being here reminds me of all the reasons why i love this city. why i appreciate the seasons of change.</div><div><br /></div><div>1:03 and i can't sleep because there is something nagging at me about the way i was "let go" though i know i should let go and Let God. </div><div><br /></div><div>see, if it weren't for me losing my job i would not be in the position i am right now. i would not be in the position to lend support to my grandmother who really needs it the most right now. as we prepare for the transition into the "home".</div><div><br /></div><div>i was blaming 'this body' and 'that body' for me being unemployed. thinking 'they'd won'. but right now i don't see any winners. and if it was in God's hands from the beginning i really don't have a need to be worried or fearful.</div><div><br /></div><div>i'm awake at 1:06 am because i know it takes my grand dad a few tossings and turnings to fall soundly to sleep. i'm awake because i need to be. i'm awake so i could be there in case he needs me. either way, i don't mind.<br /><div><br

it tried to talk.<br /><br />kept all of it's secrets<br />laughed at every joke<br />forever fascinated<br />by every word it spoke.<br /><br />he said "this poem's a lyric song"<br />so i desperately tried<br />to sing along.<br /><br />and script the notes<br />for the music<br />compose the score<br />for others to play it.<br /><br />they began to sway<br />to my tune so loud<br />from two to three<br />became a crowd.<br /><br />he said "this is, to me, a blessing"<br />and i decided to<br />spread the lesson.<br /><br />so the world could know<br />of God's grace<br />to remind them to believe<br />even if we don't know his face.<br /><br />find some quiet time<br />so your heart could listen<br />to those sweet psalms<br />he's always whispering.<br /><br />he always says to "snatch joy"<br />so i'm snatching vibes from<br />the girls and boys<br /><br />the beautiful people<br />created by God<br />i write what i write<br />just because.<br /><br />i'm blessed
