GOD IS STRANGE TO ME
God is Strange to Me
I turn my head…..Listen?
I hear him calling me
Do I answer Him?
An example, I will be
Guiding those who need
Sacrificing me
God, what is your plan?
I will be empty
Am I your prophet?
Am I your poet?
Am I your ever-suffering servant?
Filled with unfinished dreams…
MOTHER DEAR
(Oh mother dear, I miss you like never before)
Where are your warm hugs?
Have they cracked and wilted in your empty arms
Where are your sweet smiles?
Have they dried and shriveled on your cold lips
Where are your funny jokes?
Have they turned to dust and lay at your feet
To whom will comfort me?
To whom will dry my tears?
To whom will I lay my head,
When no one else is near?
(Oh mother dear, I need you more than ever)
Where have you been?
Have you finally been laid to rest
