Birdhouses

As sleepy heads wake in the morning
As darkness turns back into light
Sunshine brings another beautiful day
Thats when birds take to their flight

As I walk outside to greet the morn
I hear the chirping sounds they make
The tunes are absolutely beautiful
As they begin to sing down by the lake
ms
It's great to know that God
Gave them the opportunity to whistle
Even through the rain that falls
Even when the sun must sizzle

The melody seems to make life so refreshing
It makes for such a joyful afternoon
Sitting watching the birds make their way
From birdhouses to the bloom

Rejection isn't pretty
It hurts you through, and through.
It breaks your heart and twists your soul,
It alters everything you do!

And then you have to wonder,
Was friendship really there?
Because the way you're being treated,
Isn't very fair!

How can someone who claimed to love you
Just turn and walk away?
They break your heart and you withdraw,
Your love they tossed away.

So brick by brick you build your wall
To keep you safe and sound.
And when it's finished you stay behind it,
In the safty you have found.

Now Jesus is the only one you trust,
But now, He doesn't want me for a sunbeam.
You know His words are true.
But still you wonder why they left,
And what they meant to you.

...Babies Cry More

"How's it going Mom?"

"It's a dog eat dog world, dear",
and I'm wearing Milk Bone underwear."

That's a greeting from Norm on the TV show Cheers.

All of us have one of those days.
Some of us have one of those seasons.
Some even have one of those lives.

It feels like the world is chewing on us.

It isn't, it just feels that way.

I have long realized that life isn't really what it is,
it's what we think it is based on relative things and our
knowledge level.

If you have traveled extensively, you know that in many parts of
the world just clean drinking water is a rarity.

We flush with clean drinking water.

So many of us have so much when you compare it. Those of you
that are reading this have access to the net, email, and a computer.
You can see and you are not reading this from a hospital.

We have so much yet there is an innate tendency to complain.
I tried to think of the easiest point in our lives to see if we
complained then.

Babies have perhaps the easiest life around.
Babies don't have to go to the toilet because mama changes their
diapers. Mama breast feeds them, or gives them a bottle, rocks
them to sleep, and lets them sleep as much as they want.

Babies go the bed when they want.
Babies wake up when they want.

Babies don't have to work.
Babies don't have to deal with bills or bosses.
Babies don't worry if their thighs have gotten too fat or if
their hair is receding.

It's as easy as it gets.

With all of that,
babies cry more.

Babies cry more, with all of that.

Maybe it's not circumstances, but the closer we are to babies
(regardless of circumstances) the more we cry and complain.
I shall leave you with that thought.

Babies cry more.

Kali ini...

(maaf aku lupa menuliskan ini untuk kita)

Takkan aku lupa,..
sebentuk sms
yang menyatukan aku dan kamu
di 9 July tahun ini

adalah awal dari cerita yang akan kita bangun kelak
entah sebentuk waktu yang memang tertakdir
seperti dalang yang memainkan wayang-wayangnya...

setelah lelah dengan cerita-cerita yang lalu..
yang telah mampu membuatku untuk undur dari setiap perasaan
yang selalu bermain-main dengan hati...

hanya kamu sayang,
yang mampu membuat hatiku yang keras membatu dan beku
mencair, dan mengalirkan setiap kegelisahan-kegelisahan

masa-masa yang mungkin aku nanti-nanti
waktu yang mungkin selalu aku tunggu...
walau,.. jujur, sempat terbersit juga ketakutan akan kehilangan
bahwa, ini hanyalah sebuah mimpi yang hanya akan membuatku kecewa lagi

namun kamu tetap disini
walau kekecewaan demi kekecewaanmu sempat terasa olehku
yang aku anggap,..
itu adalah pengorbanan kamu..
kamu tahu sayang, aku sangat menghormatinya,..
setiap kekecewaan yang kamu rasakan

dan aku akan selalu mencoba
untuk tak menyisakan kekecewaan buatmu lagi,..
walau kamu tahu,..
aku melakukannya sendiri, tanpa siapapun dibelakangku
dan aku berharap, bahwa kamulah kelak yang dibelakangku

bersama kita lalui,
sampai maut yang pisahkan
