“I just want to be loved”

“I just want to be loved”

In this world we live in there’s a lonely face out there

Just looking for someone to love them to show them that we care

There was a time when I was a child born just like all of you

I had a brother and sister a mum and dad they helped me as I grew

One day my mum and dad were involved in an accident in which they died

My brother and sister looked at me and we all sat and cried

We were ever so young and split apart to different families we did go

Not knowing if we would see each other again we were scattered to and fro’

When I grew up I didn’t like the foster home where I had grown

I decided one day that I should leave and go out on my own

As I left home I used to think of my mum and dad that I miss

The way they would cuddle and tuck me into bed and give me a goodnight kiss

Loneliness can get you down and fill your heart with fear

Never ever knowing which way to turn it makes you shed a tear

As things got worse finances were low different friends did I meet

Not the kind that I had before but the ones down on the street

As I would talk to them alone I found out that they had

A similar break up with their families which I found very sad

My friends are gone I’m left alone what now shall I do

I feel that I have been abandoned with no one to talk to

I’ve tried so hard to make this life the best that I know how

But every time I turn a corner I feel so much let down

I’m a wanderer a transient wearing out my feet

Walking the streets nowhere to stay struggling to make ends meet

I wonder if there’s someone when they’ve never ever seen

Maybe it’s hard for them to understand to know how my life has been

I really want to be like you I don’t always want to roam

 I would like to have a wife and family and have a nice warm home

You may not think that’s possible when you look at me this way

But I can be educated and taught and be like you some day 

Please don’t look down when you walk by I won’t do you any harm

Try and see me like you if my family were here and love me for who I am

I may not be smart or as clever as you I may not be very wise

But when you see me on the street don’t turn away I could be an angel in disguise

I don’t have much but I’ve got Jesus in my heart so I just keep looking above

Hoping and praying that maybe someday I’ll have somebody to love

So please when you pass just say hello and I’ll say hello too

I just want to be loved in this lonely world I just want to be like you

“Lonely In Church”

“Lonely In Church”

(A true story)

There is a prayer meeting tonight and I’m going to church, I have to try and end my search

To find you Lord my heart is broke, I need to meet some other folk

My heart is so broken not sure if I should, I don’t want to sit around and brood

I’m reaching for you I need you so, please Lord Help me if I should go

I will walk in the room as quiet as can be, don’t want to draw attention you see

I will sit at the end no-one will know, the pain that I feel and don’t want to show

They all have a prayer I look around; I’m feeling quite nervous I hear no sound

People are mumbling not sure what’s going on, I’m really wishing now that I was gone

The meeting is over I’m sitting alone, feeling lonely all forlorn

They’re chatting and talking amongst themselves, feeling like I fell off a shelf

No-one said hi or even goodbye, I feel like I just want to cry

They sound so spiritual with each other, but looking at me they didn’t even bother

I’m feeling worse than when I came in, I didn’t even get a grin

Heading out the door I’m feeling down they didn’t know I was around

Walking up the aisle of the church, this is the end of my search

The tears come rolling down my face; I leave the church in disgrace

I cannot see my eyes are blurred now I’m feeling just like a nerd

Why God why oh can’t you see, the hurt that’s churning inside of me

With all that mumbling and all that prayer why does no-one really care?

On the outside they look so right but on the inside they’ve lost their sight

They didn’t know that you were there, did they really look to care

Of a sinner coming in that door spiritual clothes is all they wore

I’m glad you care Lord more than the others

They only love each other those sisters and brothers

I’m heading home now to take my life I’ve had enough of all this strife

Can’t take no-more my heart is broke I’ve had enough it’s just a joke

Does anyone care just tell me Lord show me somewhere in your word

I’ve stretched myself to it’s length I’m feeling tired I have no strength

Give me an answer and if you do, I will promise to always follow you

Please mend my heart it’s broken in two I honestly don’t know what to do

"Happy Valentine's"

"Happy Valentine's"

During the year, I work hard to make money for my family. I then take my wife and kids to various places.

I take the kids to youth group. Pick them up late in the evening so that they don't have to walk home in the cold late at night.

I make them banana bread, make them buns (rolls), and make them regular bread.

I make hummus and various other meals as well as the favourite dumplings.

During the year I make my family pizza, homemade soup on cold winter days.

In the summer I take them for a pop or a slurpee (slush). Play tennis with kids and other games.

On their birthdays I make a special dinner or order a special dinner from a restaurant.

I take my wife to work and pick her up again. Whenever she phones I go pick her up.

Give them free advice when needed. At Christmas I buy them all gifts and try to make it special.

On Christmas day I get up and make them a cooked breakfast, bacon, eggs, hash browns.

I also get up and make a cooked breakfast on New Year's morning and Easter Sunday morning.

Not forgetting, that I go out just about every day and buy groceries of some sort, spending hundreds of dollars.

I put gas in my car so that I can take the family to different places. Pay for the cell phone and home phone.

I pay to have a house that they can live in, I pay for heating, electric, gas and water.

When they had birthday parties, I used to take them somewhere special with their friends to celebrate.

Occasionally, I buy them ice cream, potato chips, candy and also, whatever I have, I share with them.

During the summer I would take them to camp for a week and pay for everything.

Whenever they need something for their instruments I try and buy it for them.

Clothes, shoes, tennis rackets, paying for the tennis club that they were in.

Not forgetting, the purchase of laptops, tablets etc. Buying logs for fireplace in winter to keep them warm.

So why would I want to do something special on Valentine's Day to prove that I love my family.

I love my family 365 days each year. Why would I have to buy a heart on February 14th to confirm that I love them?

February 14th doesn't prove that you love someone; it's what you do all year that counts.
