Don’t Be Alarmed
What is the first thing I must do?
How can I help but pray …
To finally get this off my mind
Is it something I can say?
No, it’s not my last resort
To question what this meant,
Knowing I do have struggles,
Just where is all my strength?
I think I saw it coming
It was like an open door,
So I can’t be surprised at all
I’ve seen this once before.
With a constant search for perfect peace
I’m not alarmed to ask
That the all-powerful God I serve
Will help me through this task.

It Really Shouldn’t Matter
If I look into the mirror
And sometimes do not see
That person I want to look like,
Still, it exists inside of me;
Because I’m convinced I’ve blossomed
Through countless travelled miles,
I’ve concluded I have to laugh it up
And force myself to smile.
I am hoping this face inspires
Without decreasing someone else,
Because it really shouldn’t matter
When I laugh at my own self.

As a brand-new day begins for me,
I wonder what choices to make,
For I feel a special calming
As I lay here wide awake;
I have no worries anymore,
I won’t even question why,
I feel this peace has covered me,
I cannot help but cry;
A happy sob when no one else
Could reward me with this thrill –
It’s a gift of true compassion
From whatever my God has willed;
So, once I start to think of things
I pray will turn out right,
For now, at least, I’m pleased
I was kept throughout last night.
