It was a hard time
It was bittersweet like a lime
The weight of growing a baby
Leaves you feeling all hazy
It is a task that seems crazy
Why hurt your body that much?
There are easier roads to take
Many women like to fake
That they want to get prego
But then they remember
How seriously hard it is to do
It mostly just leaves you blue
Sure it is fun once the new
Baby arrives but it is all so hard
So very, very hard 😣
Less babies do people raise
Since most are turning gay
It means less gov. hand outs
But in the future we may all pout
Who will care for the elderly?
When we all get super old
But babies will still get made
God will make sure of that
Check out my book Planned Parenting by Lisa Bedrick on Amazon 😃
1 kid or many, what is best?
Raise your own, ignore the rest
Of the world, be happy
How many kids until you see
How lovely love is to feel
The more love God causes to spill
Out on you to give to your family
The little ones really can be
The best gift we can give ourselves
Maybe your past was a dud
But someday you could be with a stud
Maybe he will be your best bud
Never give up hope in your dreams
Things are never as bad as they seem
Today there might be a sadness
But tomorrow there may be gladness
Pick yourself up when you fall
Every day on God we must call
If at first you don't succeed
Dust yourself off and try again
Do you have fear or faith?
If God asks you to jump, will you?
Maybe you could fly over rooftops
But your fear paralyzes you
You don't believe in anything anymore
You just hide in your house
Being quiet as a mouse
What is there in my future?
I could teach or make more kids
But both seem too scary
I have become very wary
Of any new adventures
You can be courageous and dumb
Or cautious and smart
It seems best to just stay still
Maybe I need to really get my fill
Of time with God and my son
I have nothing else I want to do
Maybe that makes others blue
But to stay put is better than the new
I am tired of crazy adventures
I want to just relax here forever
You know you have a good man
When he is your biggest fan
He works hard and gets a tan
He cooks great food in a pan
He runs away from sin, it's like a ban
Takes his kids to a beach, plays in the sand
He has dreams to play in a band
He is always sweet and can
Take the clouds away
Always has good words to say
He remember to always pray
That is a good man
If you want to control others a lot
That is like witchcraft to have a bot
A human robot is what you see
But then you take away all their glee
No one likes to not be free
Then we can never truly see
What we can do if allowed to fly
To some people you need to say bye
If they won't ever let you be you
To your inner heart always stay true
What do you really want to do?
Do you want a life that is new?
Don't let others control you a ton
We all know that is no fun
People really need to feel free
So they can do mostly as they please
Why do some rape others?
Maybe it is just a cover
For insecurity they feel
They can't get a mate by wooing
Instead they use force but sueing
Is what some women do
I pray God will make men new
Bring out the goodness inside you
Don't ever rape a lady
It is very crazy
It is ok to say no
Don't be a yes man, you know
If you don't like something
Tell that person to finally bring
Some compassion into their heart
Maybe then they will start
To care about how they hurt you
Tell them it makes you feel blue
Tell them you want a new you
You don't deserve to receive abuse
It can feel like they made a noose
And hung your soul out to dry
A part of you has to say bye
You check out from the world
You wish that you could hurl
Yourself away from that place
But you are trying to save face
"Don't rock the boat"
Maybe you won't float
"Go along to get along"
Just keep being strong
But how strong do you need to be?
Why don't you instead see
It's ok to ask for help at times?
You don't always have to make a dime
You can say it's not ok
What they do is bad, just say it
Save yourself, open up your mouth
Express how you really feel
How long do you want to reel
In distress and pain?
Do you like being in a non stop rain?
Maybe you think you deserve this
But wouldn't you rather have bliss?
Set yourself free
Go climb up a tree
And run away from the hungry bears
It is not a big deal, you swear
But maybe it is, and you can live
Just get to a safe place
Why God let 9/11 and Covid happen:
To humble us.
The Lord disciplines those he loves.
To correct us.
To wake us up.
To remind us to pray.
To show us we were going the wrong way.
Don't force God to correct us with another tragedy.
Lesson Learned
God keep us humble we pray
Help us to stop going astray
May we learn more quickly this time
And stop evil acts on a dime
May we never again need a wake up call
May our pride fade before we fall
Thank you for preserving the rest
May we realize we are very blessed
I hope when we remember those days
We fall on our knees and pray
God keep us safe all our days
May we deserve to live on
God keep us super strong
We know before long
You will return to get the saved
For Jesus already has paved
Our stairway to heaven
😇
Your ex is your ex for a reason
It may have just been for a season
Not all people are forever
When stressed you must sever
That bond and try being alone
Then you finally get off your throne
Time outs are good for us all
They remind us we don't stand so tall
Humility is needed for love
If you get a big head, time to shove
Yourself in a corner and count
After some time you can come out
And thank God for a new day
Maybe a second chance you'll get to say
I love you and need you and sorry
You have to believe you deserve what you get
Don't worry so much, give up that fret
If you don't feel worthy of the new you
You cut your own legs out from under you
If you think you are worthless and small
Your life becomes a non stop crazy fall
You give yourself a terrible life
You even try to cause more strife
You think you deserve abuse
So you never agree to a truce
You think you don't deserve love
You think you deserve no grace from above
You feel God hates you
And you always feel blue
You hate yourself and the real you
So you force everyone else to hate you too
You push everyone away
And go hide in your cave
Because maybe you deserve to die
But how about you ask yourself why
Have you done good and not just bad?
Think of all the people you made glad
Your life hasn't been only sad
You deserve more than you realize
Stop cutting yourself down to size
Stand up, see yourself as worthy
But learn to be good and to stay good
Why do you enjoy hurting yourself?
Why put your needs way back on a shelf?
Why do you let others hurt you?
Doesn't that make you very blue?
If you love yourself, others will too
If you respect yourself, others will too
The degree that you value yourself
Others will also, be nice to you
Tell yourself what is true
God loves you, so why don't you?
Sure you made some mistakes
Maybe you aren't super great
Everyone has messed up a lot
Oh well, we can't be a robot
We all slip and fall in many ways
But you know you have more good days
Forgive yourself and let it go
Be nice to yourself and show
Yourself that you love yourself
It's ok to love yourself
I mean take good care of your needs
Water yourself like you would seeds
Then you will grow up strong
And maybe then before long
You will be powerful and able
Your life will become more stable
Learn to stand up for yourself
Don't put yourself way back on the shelf
If you love everyone
You will end up with no one
You have to pick one
Or else you may come undone
When you try to please them all
Pride comes before a fall
You will end up going insane
Many voices in your brain
People want you to do that and this
Or do mainly what you want, bliss
We can't control each other
Overall why do we bother?
Remember to just have one
One main friend under the sun
Others come and go
The true friend will show
If they stick with you till the end
You have found a really, truly good friend
I hope to live 20 more years
God knows I've cried many tears
But I think I can do 20 more
Hope it will be fun and not a chore
I want to raise my boy to be a man
I'll always be his biggest fan
I never knew how special it could be
To create a little preacher, I believe
One day he could really be grand
I hope for God he will always stand
I know he needs me
So I'll keep going
20 more years
May God heal you today
First confess and say
What sins you need to
Only so much God will do
If you insist on sinning
That darkness keeps winning
Learn to just say no
Be strong, you know
Show God you want to get well
Never your soul will you sell
Be good, do good, feel good
I know you might be done with me
Sorry I have so much anger in me
I just need a time out
Maybe so I can just pout
Over us being always poor
It has made me feel sore
The struggle with money was long
It helped if I sang some good songs
But thank you for the electricity
For the food and milk but no money 🤔
Maybe someday we will share more
Perhaps then giving will feel less like a chore
Sorry me and your baby need a lot
Stay clean now and don't smoke pot
Someday we will be together again
I want you again to be my best friend
I know you are scared and mad
But when alone, don't turn bad
Remember the good times we had
Someday you can live here again
And we will again be great friends
In order to gain peace
You must learn to release
Everything and everyone
You can't control all under the sun
To control others is never much fun
Learn to just let it go
And that really will show
How mature you have become
Is getting your way worth the fight?
Maybe ask God for a new sight
Get a new perspective on it all
Pride is gotten before a fall
You could be wrong and they're right
Don't let that give you a fright
We all will non-stop disagree
That is part of life you see
Stop thinking only you are right
Other people can also be bright
Listen to what they need to say
Don't let it make your world super gray
Just say ok and do what is best
Then maybe all your life will be blessed
😁
God wants us to forgive
Only when you do, can you live
In harmony with others
Be kind to each other
Let it go
Before you know
You will store too much anger
It could cause great danger
No one is worth so much wrath
Chose a different path
The one who angers you masters you
Let it go and become new
Tell yourself what is true
You deserve to have peace
So give up and release
Let go of all the anger
Before you cause some great danger
3 years I have known you
But you couldn't be true
I worshipped you for no reason
You were like a god to me for a season
I had no idea you were a bad guy
So now finally I had to say bye
But thank you for the food and milk
I hope someday you lay on sheets of silk
I'm sure you will have a lot someday
Maybe I'll share it with you, I pray
That you will change and be good
Our son needs a great dad
That would make me glad
Maybe we will reunite and have joy
Maybe you will buy James tons of toys
Perhaps one day you will care
That I accepted the courageous dare
To give you a child
Even though you are wild
But the wild stallion can be tamed
Just like anyone can
The more people, the more drama
Some say the more the merrier
I say the more the scarier
Anyone is capable of anything
No one can really be trusted to bring
Only good to you and not evil things
You can try to cheer them up and sing
But really there is no cure for the bad
Those who commit evil to feel glad
Their desires makes the rest of us very sad
Entertained by evil and games
They should feel lots of shame
Such people need to be alone
It is time to get off their throne
When rulers turn evil they should go
Send them to live alone and know
That only solitary time can change them
A time out exists for a reason
It is good to isolate for a season
After hibernating they might be kind
After restoring their peace of mind
People can be so mean and cold
Time to banish them and be bold
Every day we mess up
Needing to fill up our love cup
We need and want and sin
Throw our soul in a trash bin
Won't you let God make you new?
To yourself only be true
Aren't you tired of being blue?
God can give you a new birth
Help you realize how much you're worth
Jesus died to set you free
So you can be all you can be
You are priceless, don't you see?
Now live like you know you are
Marriage is a cage
It should pay a wage
You don't want to get stuck in there
But you are in love, you swear
Those inside the cage want to get out
Often times they even pout
"Oh to be free, how I really miss that"
Even though every date was with a rat
But those outside the cage want to get in
They even hook up and very often sin
Until they get back in that cage
But then often they feel that rage
"Why am I stuck in this cage?
I used to be free as a bird
Flying all over, now I smell turds
Where did my freedom go?"
Your angst often shows
That you are not happy in the cage
So get out, or stay in and feel the rage
Or find a new cage
You decide, turn the page
Anger comes from expectations
You may vent in frustration
Why can't they be perfect?
Why can't they give me all I want?
Maybe you even pout and taunt
The more you need
The more you plant seeds
Give and you will receive
Or give up and grieve
No one gets everything they want
No matter how much they flaunt
Give up and let it go
Stop being such a hoe
You don't need to be that spoiled
When you teach they say don't smile
For me it has been awhile
Since I really enjoyed to smile
It makes you look weak
It is better to seriously speak
What you want to say
The more you smile
The more others file
You as insecure or needy
Maybe it is that you are greedy
You manipulate and smile to get
Then if you don't get, you fret
You con and suck up and do things
You hope maybe it all will bring
More money and pleasure and fun
But your life comes undone
You think sucking up will be good
Maybe you will get more food
It only raises hatred and resentment
Because you struggle with contentment
You people please
Until they bend the knee
Did you get what you wanted?
Maybe it is time to give up
Have you noticed fun is never safe?
If something is safe, it is not fun
At least your mind is not undone
You get to keep your peace
Fun is when you break a lease
And move in with a new friend
On whom you think you can depend
It is a thrill to take that risk you see
It fills your heart with a silly glee
But then one day you regret it all
When you break up and cry and ball
The risk and fun was a bad thing to do
You made a dumb move and now you are blue
Do you want fun or what is safe?
You never can have both of those things
Much heart ache risk taking will bring
Stay safe, at peace and sane
It is much better for your brain
Forget about fun for awhile
Peace can also make you smile
Just rest and be
Forget about feeling glee
Peaceful is the best way to be
We all often want to die
But then maybe we wonder why
Is my life really that bad?
There are things I wish I had
I can fixate on what is not
But then never see what I got
I want and wish and never get
So then I have a non stop fret
Over how terrible things are
But complaining only gets you so far
Be grateful for what you have
Don't wish that you were dead
You have more than what most have
So cheer up and be glad, not sad
Being alive is better than money
"Surely goodness will follow me"
How good can you be?
Do good, say good, be good today
Watch the words that you say
Remember to always pray
"You have not because you ask not"
Are you bad because you lack?
Maybe get busy, pick up the slack
What good can you do today?
What good compliments can you say?
Forget what all the bad people say
"Bad company corrupts good morals"
One bad apple spoils the bunch
You know good things like a hunch
Maybe God needs to give you a punch
To cause you to be good
"God disciplines the child he loves"
What stops you from being good?
Don't let it stop you ever again
When you only live for yourself
You aren't really very much help
You just want to be lazy
Your life flies by all hazy
All your days are swallowed up in sleep
Not many friends can you keep
"When is my next nap?" You may say
"Nothing else to do today
Just sleep this life away"
But why not be less selfish?
Others need your time too
Why lay down and look so blue?
Your life could benefit someone
Or do you feel like you are done?
"I am old already" you say
But maybe if you would just pray
Your zest for life will return
You will no longer feel that burn
Of guilt from sleeping your life away
Get up and do a great thing today
Most say if they were baptized
They are always saved, but realize
It takes so much more
They drop out and say God is a bore
There is more Jesus has in store
Why quit the race halfway?
"I am too tired" you might say
The Christian life became too gray
But then are you truly saved? I say
Make sure you run until the end
God is the main one on which to depend
Maybe you have tons of friends
But they can pull you to hell
Many stories I could tell
Of people who did not finish well
"A man of many friends comes to ruin"
Who can take your hand today
And guide you to God to say
"I'm sorry for going it alone
Please let me sit at your throne
I have much I need to confess
I hope maybe you still can bless
My life and all my friends"
Maybe then God will say
"Well done, I heard you pray
You always had much to say
I know you want to be up here
Give up all of that fear
Trust in me and pray
You have little to fear today
Welcome home"
When you're an abuse victim
It takes away your voice
Because you had no choice
Things were done to you
That made you totally new
No one cared if you said no
All they wanted was to blow
Their sexual passion on you
To yourself be true
Tell others it's not okay
To not care what you want or say
No means no
Tell them to stop
Or else your eternal soul may rot
Your soul is hurt every time
You would give every dime
Just to make them go away
Maybe all you need to do
Is tell them to go somewhere else today
We treat others how to treat us
Be a person people can trust
If you respect others
They will respect you
Respect is not given but earned
Your heart will really need a turn
Don't let that make you blue
Believe in God and become brand new
With the same measure you use
It will be measured back to you
If you give you will be given to
It is more blessed to give than to receive
Remember the Holy Spirit to never grieve
Always try to sow more good seeds
What you sow, you will reap
Pray that your life God will keep
In the palm of his hands
Follow his perfect plans
Remember to never give up the stand
For Jesus and the Bible
Or your salvation is liable
To not stay firm to the end
The one who endures to the end
Will be saved, you can depend
What will you do with the rest of your time
Don't just try to make a dime
Honor God and earn respect every day
Life giving words you should say
And remember to always pray
😁
I have a wonderful dream today
That all the kids will stay safe I pray
That no one will be gay at all
We have heard pride goes before a fall
On God we all need to call
And fall on our faces in repentance
Before the eternal final sentence
Make amends with all your friends
But mainly on God you can depend
I pray babies will never die again
That we all see they could be great friends
May the world be less hateful and evil
May we get on our knees under church steeples
"If my people will humble themselves
Turn from their evil ways and seek my face
Then will I heal their great land."
"Confess your sins to one another
And pray for each other
That you may be healed."
Don't let Satan anymore steal
The souls of those you love
Ask for wisdom from above
To figure out how to shove
Their hearts to heaven and pray
That they will all get saved
All things are possible today
Change will happen when you pray
Does God take away all fun
Do you really want a risk out in the sun
You have to redefine what is fun
It is fun to never be a bum
It is fun to not play with guns
Why take the risk for the rush
Is it really worth it
I say no drama is more fun
But others say no drama is no fun
Is life with God boring or not
Do you really need money a lot
You gain and amass but still are sad
You think you enjoy getting mad
But afterwards you always feel bad
Keep the peace and stay calm
If you can't, maybe call your mom
God save me from the pain in my head
It makes me just want to lay in bed
I don't want to eat any bread
I just think of what was said
The memories run in my mind
The past I want to leave behind
But I miss him and hope he is ok
I wish he could come home today
All I can do is hope and pray
That I'll get a second chance with him
And we can be a family again
Maybe some discipline I need
Because many days I did not heed
God telling me to just be quiet
😣
The ones who criticize the most
Are the ones who are doing nothing
We all have to do something
We all need a purpose, a calling
If not we are non stop falling
Into sin and depravity
Evil is like gravity
The more you do it
The more it pulls you down
If you are not constructive
You will become destructive
If you are not building something
You will destroy others down to nothing
Instead of being jealous of what others have
Build your own life and be glad
If you just look at others you get sad
If you never build, you get mad
And wreck anything others build
Why not create instead of destroy?
Why not give instead of expect?
Why not be good instead of bad?
God will bless you as you bless others
We all mess up every day
No one is perfect, I say
What else can you do
But let it go and see through
Your faults to the good underneath
Maybe then God will breach
Your heart of stone
And his light will be shone
In the dark soil of your soul
Give God full control
Who knows what he will grow
In the potting soil of your soul
Let God water you with his word
Maybe then you'll be free like a bird
And become all he meant you to be
Maybe then you'll finally see
The purpose God made you for
We don't know what we got
Until one day it is not
Here with us anymore
Our life becomes a bore
We complain and pout that we lost it
They made us feel more legit
But time outs can be beneficial
They make you less artificial
We go through the motions of love
Maybe time apart will help to shove
Our mind in a more grateful direction
Love what you have now
Before you scare it away
And you regret what you did say
And remember to pray
That you will work things out
Before your anger makes you shout
And you break up for a long time
No one can be perfect you know
People try to put on a perfect show
But it all is a game people play
An almost perfect act I would say
You think they are a good man
But you do not know the span
Of evil they have done to others and you
They could become new
Just believe in them to be reborn
Don't stay hopeless and forlorn
Say a prayer that Jesus will forgive
Then they can really live
"No one is perfect, no not one
All have sinned and fall short."
We compete and fight and need
Instead we should plant seeds
Save the lost
There is little cost
You have to give of yourself
Die to self, put your needs on the shelf
Forget about yourself and give
Then you really will live
Live for others, not just you
You know it only makes you blue
To redeem yourself you must give
Give up selfish ways and live
Choose life, not death today
Learn what is good to say
And remember to always pray
Why does God give us pain
Is there something to gain?
We hurt and suffer a lot
Maybe more humility we caught
