two things (nov 29, 2008)

i'm longing to encourage you
you're so downhearted and distraught.
but with a touch of realism too
i understand the problems -
so a surface smile is problem still unsolved.

and money, i dont have much, but what i can i'll give
even there though, a few thousand may buy a car and compy
but it wont fix the economy and it wont last long

id give you my time - you need more,
but something tells me that the more i give
the less you'll have and, for now, the best way to give you more time
is to keep mine all to myself.
the best thing for you is to keep to myself.
the best way to sustain your grades is to contain myself.

id give you a plan, future plan, youd like it, i'd like it
but if not from Him its vanity - meaningless.
and to plan, and then backtrack is pulling teeth, while waiting is learning

and i want to help you, to lift you above, to hold
but im weak and i have nothing to offer naught but these:

a prayer
and a hope.

both to the LORD.
both for the future
and He knows them, way back when, before i knew you, before i knew HIm, He knew this prayer. and He knows His fulfillment of my hope.
