Untwisted

Sometimes the memories won’t fade All the places we have seen All the prices we have paid The memories of the happy as well as the sad The people we’ve lost The friends that we had Some memories just seem like a ghost I always lost everyone that I loved the most The wind would just carry them away Along with my tears And my ability to pray I wonder how far is heaven from here? How many more heartaches How many more tears I wonder how far it is away Because I have so many things that I wish to say To all the people that I loved and I lost I’m not even tripping My heart paid the cost The reaper rode the river in a bikers disguise I’ll never forget the fear in my mother’s eyes As he drug her under and then let her go Through my four year old veins hate started to grow My eyes were blind my ears were deaf After that I forgot There was anything left Karma is like poker for it is bound to luck When I was just a boy God through me under the truck Of all the things in life we feel We are all bound to God’s will Passion is a doorway between love and hate God is the dealer in the game of fate Our place is not to question why For if we do our faith will die The deeper we hate the deeper we love I was gifted wisdom by the Lord above Every gift comes at a price A world of experience behind my advice Every smile holds a lifetime of pain Nothing that happens should happen in vein It is our choice that which we do Know in your heart these words are true The harder we fall the further we climb No ones life is totally sublime Illusion after illusion will be offered to you But only the living word is true The living word that beats in your heart Will keep you safe as the world falls apart Through the pain of a boy watching his mother die It’s never to late to kiss the sky A man of faith who could never give up Please come break my bread and share in my cup By the time our journey is through I’ll share all I am with you Hopefully somewhere in my words you’ll see ---Untwisted is truly the way to be---

I too, lost my mother when she was much too young, Michael, and throughout the years, the sorrow does tend to still grab hold.....however, most days the warmth of the love and memory in my heart keeps her close to me. I hope you will cling to the good part of Mother's time that she had with you. God Bless. Love, Carrie
