"Walk With Me"

My life at times is trying.
I so often get confused.
I can feel my will power dying.
And I'm not sure just what to do.
When it seems I've reached my lowest point.
Please let me turn to you.
Give me strength make me strong.
And help me see things through.
I need your love to guide me.
Through all life has to deal.
As long as your beside me.
My prayers can be fulfilled.
I'm asking you to help me.
To always be my best.
To help me stand back up again.
When I fall, Lord, I request.
Give me more self confidence.
To help me see things through.
And always keep reminding me.
We can make it, Me and You....~Dan Greene~

"I Look To You"

I look to you for wishes sweet.And everything so nice and neat.
I look to you for sunny days. Bright blue skies and summer haze.
I look to you in times of trouble. To find my soul in life's rubble.
I look to you to stay strong. To right my every sinful wrong.
I look to you when I feel alone. And feel uncertain of things unknown.
I look to you as I grow old. When I'm seeking shelter from the cold.
I look to you when darkness falls. When I feel my back is against the wall.
I look to you to walk with me. Through the rain and stormy seas.
I  look up to you as you hang there. In all your suffering and despite.
I look up to you in heaven above. As you gave to me your undying love.
I look up to you to help me see. You hung there on that cross for me.
I look up to you to help me through. Because I'm nothing without you.
I look up to you as I fall to my kness. Praying for eternity.....~Dan Greene~

"A Midnight Dream"

Hopelessness and despair is the world in which I dwell.
A weakened heart crying out to be rescued from this hell.
As in darkness it came once again calling out my name.
Whispering its promise and leaving its ugly stain.
Empty seem the days that come.
Empty seem the days that go.
Bound am I in grips of this lifeless soul.
With burning tears and endless fears.
And crying in the night.
Just then a star fell from heaven and I seen its brilliant light.
As if wings of an angel in my heart he took flight.
My soul awakened and I heard his tender voice say.
"I died for you. "
"And all my promises are forever true"
To the floor my knees went.
My soul all at once filled with his spirit.
He said... "Look at me can you see?"
"I was once bound now I'm free"
Praise God......I am free.......~Dan Greene~

"The breath of life"

Cut away what you must.
But leave my soul behind.
Leave just enough for me to live.
And ease my troubled mind.
I take deep breaths and hope and pray.
That you won't take my breath away.
As thoughts come back of yesterday's.
When life was so unsure.
Is this another chance for me?
More borrowed time for me to see.
One more chance to break free.
From demons that keep haunting me.
A cruel and harsh reality.
Of things that are to come.
There's one thing that I know is true.
I will walk this path with you.
And you will turn my gray skies blue.
And help me find my way.
So thank you Lord for words that rhyme.
And these mountains that I must climb.
And this gift of precious time.
That you have given me. ~Dan Greene~

"Silence"

In the quiet of the evening. When the thoughts of mind are nil.
You can hear the sound of silence. That's so tranquil and so still.
If you listen more intently. In awhile you'll come to know.

That it speaks a different language. Like the sound of falling snow.
Though we find we cannot touch it. There's a depth you can't deny.
It tends to captivate the listener. Like a touching last goodbye.

We are beckoned, like Ulysses to that peaceful inner space.
Where all burdens pains and sorrows. Disappear without a trace.

We know not what beholds us. But we feel that we have heard.
The infinity of life itself. And it spoke without a word.

"Expressions"

Will you read these words I write?
When my days have turned to night.
Will my expressions be loud and clear?
Will they be words you want to hear?
When my hour glass runs out of time.
When I have nothing left to rhyme.
Will someone yell out and call my name?
Will things be different or stay the same?
Will you believe my words are true?
When those words say I love you?
Please don't think that for one minute.
My life was nothing without you in it.
Wishes dreams and shooting stars.
Images and reflections of who you are.
Every single breath you take.
Perfect memories and bad mistakes.
Every single word you say.
And every wish for one more day.
Every time you felt alone.
Thinking about the great unknown.
Smile and laugh and keep on giving.
And live the life that you are living.
And when your time has come to go.
Make peace with God. And then you'll know.
Everything happens for a reason.
And when your in life's final season.
Every moment you had in time.
And every word you tried to rhyme.
Your life will not have been lived in vain.
If someone,somewhere remembers your name.
Never be afraid of what's to come.
Because its stupid and it's crazy and rather dumb.
Just live each moment and live each day.
And get down on your Knees and pray.
And just thank God for who you are.
And rainbows, sunsets, and shooting stars.
Because Heavens just around the bend.
Be happy for today and don't fear the end. ~Dan Greene~
