Everyone

My life has seen so many faces
Many I forget; interesting or not
When I think of the people I must've met
I've seen most everyone on earth

But I forget most people every day
Whether face or name or both
But God blows my mind when he says
That he cares for each person most.

Grow

When I was just a baby,
mamma rocked me to and fro.
but now it's the wall ruler
to check me as I grow.

I remember Dad would say
you're growing oh so tall.
I remember Mamas whispers
it won't be long at all.

Now that I'm a big kid
I wish that I was small.
When Mama used to rock me
before I got so tall.

But, I will never forget it
she held me in her hands.
I shall never regret it
for now, I understanz...opps!

Blessed

I am blessed for having believed
Having committed my time to come
For he judges not my past; good or bad
But my life, faith, hope and trust.

Hayden Andrews

Hand in Hand

God can do it, and do it he will
But he seeks for us to try.
Not on our own, but in his strength
Allowing for him to take over.

It doesn't make less of that which I do
As long as his way to me is better
For he finds pleasure in my faith and my hope
As a father is proud of his children.

Wisdom

A wise thought, falling far short
Sadly to be left behind.
But in the right place, one may understand
That same word could answer all.

Hayden Andrews

Take a Moment and Listen

Still. Come find an answer quietly heard
If a breathe, a pause, be sacrificed
Strive and find the key; a good plan
While wisdom's low voice is lost.

The Sand Claims

So many dreams,
Too little time,
Why so inventive my mind?

I may not even do half that I plan,
But without the right resource,
It's all spilt in the sand.

Hayden Andrews

More than you could dream

Expectancy based on what has been
Possibilities from perceived ability
Seemingly open to all that could be
Secretly limited by life's humanity
God is good and he will
Give more that you expect him to..

Hayden Andrews

Aptly Named

Charmed with sweetness
Heaven's gift received
Alive with life
Revitalising spirit flows forth
Intrigued, entranced
Tormented to discover
Your secret of your character.

Hayden Andrews

Stepping Up

I know you wouldn't leave me
I know we would try again,
But something holds and scares me
From stepping out in faith.

Longings of the heart, and longings of the mind
They might not coincide.
So I must choose which to follow,
And which to force to die.

Lord, draw me near to your heart
Share with me your dreams.
That I may grab a sense of that
Which is your dream for me.

Entrust in me; have faith I pray
That you might find in me
The hope you have for my life
Will yet be fulfilled in me.

Alive in death, my soul does cry
As to death my life does put.
For all I have in me is loss
Compared to God found in me.
