dandelions

this sone reallys inspired me lately. its by five iron frenzy, old skool i kno. but i love this song so its the insperation and base for this poem today. so heres the lyrics to the original song. then ill write my part

In a field of yellow flowers, Underneath the sun, Bluest eyes that spark with lightning, Boy with shoes undone. He is young, so full of hope, Reveling in tiny dreams, Filling up, his arms with flowers, Right for giving any queen. Running to her beaming bright, While cradling his prize. A flickering of yellow light, Within his mother's eyes. She holds them to her heart, Keeping them where they'll be safe, Clasped within her very marrow, Dandelions in a vase. She sees love, where anyone else would see weeds. All hope is found. Here is everything he needs. Fathomless your endless mercy, Weight I could not lift. Where do I fit in this puzzle, What good are these gifts? Not a martyr, or a saint, Scarcely can I struggle through. All that I have ever wanted, Was to give my best to you. Lord, search my heart, Create in me something clean. Dandelions You see flowers in these weeds. Gently lifting hands to heaven, Softened by the sweetest hush, A Father sings over his children, Loving them so very much. More than words could warrant, Deeper than the darkest blue, More than sacrifice could merit, Lord, I give my heart to you.


as my petals
begin to wilt
i wonder how
i ever dealt
how i could survive
with out your breath
with out you
i have nothing left
my petals fall
and my leaves wither
i need you father
to make me bigger

lord take my life
make me grow up
in your love
show me how god
i need you so much

dear father
youve saved me
your love
recreates me
when i was dying
dried in the sun
you came and took me
made me strong
so now father
as i slowly fade
i need you again
your love and grace

lord search
my heart
create in me
something clean
dandiloins
you see flowers
in these weeds
