Endure, Have Faith, Stay Strong - Nov 2, 2011

Falling forward, looking backward

Butterflies flying within

People I care for, People I’d die for

Struggles increasing within

Take my hand, oh dearest friend

Lean on my back, I’ll carry you

Pray to the Lord, have faith, have trust

He’s there watching over you

Put one foot in front of the other

One day you’ll reach the top of the Mountain

Friends? May 17, 2011

Being a friend, when I need one

Listening to others, when I need to speak

Telling others it’s ok to cry, when I need to

Cheering on couples, when I desire to be one

Doing so many things when I need them

I comfort others when I need to be

OH STOP COMPLAINING!

Given love, given peace I am very grateful

Given a home, given food, I am quite thankful

Stop complaining, it’s all good, all is well

God is with us, peace is with us

My family cares, my family loves, my family tries

I am very grateful for my many blessings!

Ben's Farewell - Feb 15, 2011

Talk to ya later…

Heart aching, throbbing…

Tears start coming…

Words coming out reassuring self it’ll be ok

Looking forward to the future!

Expecting the most!

Understanding little!

Thanking technology given today

I hear his voice in my head

I pray for strength in all that’s said

When all is said and done

Amazement that all fun is gone

Confused what to do now…

I lift my head high, hope the best

Pray for help, and watch for letters

This day is done, a journey begun

                                                                Ben’s adventure has come

Press On? - Jan 9, 2011

With wondering awe

And a heart of a teenager

The opposite sex seems quite beautiful

Knowing age and noticing all

Aching heart and confused thoughts

Understand we must be careful

Hoping for help

And feeling new emotions

Wanting to be cheerful

Taking in responsibility

Understanding your place

Should I be dareful

With a chance of faint

And heart of chance

                                                                 Life has become colorful.

Ben - Dec 2, 2010

With music playing

Snowballs throwing

Fate is soon to come

 

With hi then bye

Eye contact leaves with a sigh

Fate has begun

Later dance becomes closer

Friends that call once a week

Fate gets stronger

Love comes full on strong

He then dedicates a song

Fate is working magic

Silence during school

Boredom and lonliness drool

Fate’s taking a step back

I take a stand, and call

He answered, wonderful in all

Fate is standing back up

Best friends are made

Romantic love has fade

Fate has a new story line

Papers are sent for mission

Joy coming as a commission

Fate leads to God’s Way

A double date is made

Hurray! Lets all have a joy parade

Fate leads to the heart

Scheduling changes with pain

We all go insane!

Fate has a rebel side

With hope and faith

It will be ok he saith

Fate must watch his back

                                                                              For February He leaves for 2 years
