Andromache

"When was my lord so much ungently temper'd,
To stop his ears against admonishment?
Unarm, unarm, and do not fight to-day."
(V, 3, 3276)


"My dreams will,
sure, prove ominous
to the day."
(V, 3, 3281)

We’re all saying don’t settle in relationships, but I’m going to take it further and say: be greedy. Go to God and say, “I want someone who is on fire for you and I want a vision for a whole big beautiful thing, and I want you to start preparing me for that.” If you look at it from God’s perspective, that must be a fantastic thing to hear, and how would He say no to that?

Will I ever stay in your heart
Even when the day would come
that I must leave you
because the heavens said so?

Will I ever be one of those best things
that happened to your life
despite of my lifetime bitterness
and die-hard happiness?

Will I ever hear my wedding bells
with your ring on my finger
with love and togetherness
with everlasting happiness? 

Will I ever see your beautiful face
snuggling my neck in the morning
or cuddling with lovely children
I dream to have with you?

Will I ever catch a glimpse 
of your gray hairs in fine twilight
exchanging memorial treasures from the
“yesteryears” I constantly pray to share with you?

What if life had to take its toll on me
and close my story book this early?
What if I had to say goodbye,
Will you take special care of our memories?

I want to go to heavenSomeday, somehow, somewayI’ve got to be in His arms. But fallen angels are nearHere on earth, probing, luringInviting my soul to sin. And there are temptationsWhich irresistibly dance aroundSwaying my thoughts to give in. Oh how many times Have I soaked deep in regretsAnd still fall for the same mistakes! Lord, I am weary, I am tornI know I’m abusing my bodyAnd eventually sin would kill me. I keep praying to break freeFrom all this vivid damnationAnd just be perfect in Your eyes. It was never meant to be easyTo fight demons in my headAnd going to such war alone. I have been asking for Your helpAnd You never failed meBut my flesh did way too early. And then I’m bound to rise upagain and again becauseIt’s still not too late. I’m standing up for YouThough I could stumble and fallAlong the way, I’m standing up for You. I may not ever deserve You,but, Lord, I love YouSo here I am, do as You will. -j

I want to go to heaven
Someday, somehow, someway
I’ve got to be in His arms.

But fallen angels are near
Here on earth, probing, luring
Inviting my soul to sin.

And there are temptations
Which irresistibly dance around
Swaying my thoughts to give in.

Oh how many times
Have I soaked deep in regrets
And still fall for the same mistakes!

Lord, I am weary, I am torn
I know I’m abusing my body
And eventually sin would kill me.

I keep praying to break free
From all this vivid damnation
And just be perfect in Your eyes.

It was never meant to be easy
To fight demons in my head
And going to such war alone.

I have been asking for Your help
And You never failed me
But my flesh did way too early.

And then I’m bound to rise up
again and again because
It’s still not too late.

I’m standing up for You
Though I could stumble and fall
Along the way, I’m standing up for You.

I may not ever deserve You,
but, Lord, I love You
So here I am, do as You will.
