Here I am again, I know long time but I'm back :) My next value for personal progress is faith, and faith is the reason why good choices in entertainment is so important, so i thought it wouldn't be too irrelevant if I post some faith related poems on this blog for the faith value. (I'll have more book, movie, song reviews/ lyrics next week). Also poems are a great source of entreatment and I know your thinking "Ick poetry, Emily Dickinson back from the grave". But not all poetry is that intense and interestingish, try reading poetry like Shel Silverstein, now that man is a literary genius.
The Conductor
There is the conductor
Blue hat and radiant smile
There is his son
Who means everything to him
He is very young
The conductor brings him along
To work they go at the railroad
Switching train tracks day after day
The little boy loves this
Right and left, left and right they go
But one day was unlike the rest
For the boy decided to go on the tracks
He needed to
He wanted to
There is a train
It is coming so fast
It cannot be stopped
It cannot be stopped
The conductor knows he won’t reach his son in time
To pull him off and save his life
He can change the course of the tracks
So the train would crash but his son would live
But he knows the effect would be crippling
So the train comes
The people on board are saved
There is news special on it
But few watch
Few care to listen
They don’t know
That someone died that they could live
They don’t know that someone sacrificed
So they could live
They don’t know that the train
Was the weight and sins of the world
They don’t know that we were all on it
And that we once knew he who died
They don’t know that he went on the tracks
So that we wouldn’t feel this pain
But I know
I saw the news special
And I cried
I didn’t know such love real
But I saw it
In the boy and the conductor
And it was for me
And you
Always remember that day
When the conductor made a choice
And his son made a choice
To save the train
To save us
And when you pull into the station
Make sure to find the conductor
And tell him Thank you
Because there is the conductor
Blue hat and radiant smile
There is his son
His son and our savior
Sometimes
Sometimes the sky only seems to be made of gray
Sometimes all we do is whish for yesterday
Sometimes it hurts
And seems like no one cares
But don’t give up just yet
Someone is there
I know you’re lost
Trying to find your way home
Don’t be afraid,
You’re not on this path alone
You ask for an angel to help and guide you through
But you don’t see any
But there are everyday angels all around you
I know you think that no one loves you
Wants to take away all the sadness
But if you never knew pain
Then you’d never know happiness
Just look at your life from a different angel
Don’t let other people tell you who you are
Because they’ve lowered your worth
Well, it’s time to raise the bar
So look at your life a different way
And you will see
That things will turn out okay
Just keep moving towards the light
Fall on your knees and pray
Do what you know is true
And I promise
God will not give up on you
Faith
Faith
You can’t see it
You can’t touch it
But you can feel it
Some say it’s carried in the wind
Some say it charges their cell phones
It’s the current they call electricity
I call it believing without seeing
I call it faith
Some people deny it
Some people say it isn’t real
Then they must have seen wind
They must know exactly how cell phones work
How computers work, how space ships work
I just know they work
I don’t see it, but I believe it
Because I feel it
It’s faith
And it’s everywhere
So don’t search the world
Tirelessly searching for hard evidence
It’s much simpler than that
Just stand still
Close your eyes
And feel the wind
And there you go-
Faith
