Talking to the moon

I’m talking to the moon hoping that you can hear ,
The thoughts running through my mind, hopes and fear,
Praying for your guidance and love ,
That only you can give me from up above ,
To ease the pain I’ve been feeling in my heart and mind ,
To ebb the stress that’s creeping behind ,
Of daily living and bills stacking up ,
Please help me empty this overflowing cup ,

Searching through the Heavens,
I know that God can hear.
Everything I want,
will come near.
Whether it be money,
or anything else,
or anything stealth,
for that is yourself.
So that is,
how it is

Always doubted though said I believed
Seen too many false preachers their flock deceived
Money they said could buy your way to heaven
Said that those that hold back have no leaven
Always respected the beliefs of others
That of my father, mother and brothers
In this world so many religions and sects
Each all of other's beliefs rejects
Came to believe in a greater power
The same that created everything from the sun to a flower
Believe in love, peace, being good to one another
Being honest, to not judge, to treat all as if they were your brother

God don’t ask for money or any physical thing ,
Only faith and trust in Him - oh the peace that He can bring ,
People ask me how I know that He’s real and such,
My answer is that I’ve just seen to much ,
I’ve experienced things that would make a grown man cry ,
But my faith grew strong instead of asking questions why ,
I wholeheartedly believe that certain things happen to teach us something we needed to learn ,
They teach us to be strong in our faith , and to wait our turn ,
Our lessons teach us to love unconditionally ,
Or how to stay when we are frightened and not to flee,
I’ve learned things the hard way but always get brought back,
I’ve learned the error of humanly ways and complete faith is what I’ve lacked ,
But now that I’ve found it - I pray to God above ,
That His will be done- knowing the outcome will always be love

Always a symbol of mystery
Of hope, of guidance,
Searching for an elusive path,
The moon has always fascinat’d us.
Since times immemorial,
The attraction of the moon
Ne’er hath ceas’d.
Playing out its ballet
Always on time,
Always appearing at the appointment,
The celestial appointment,
The moon gives succour,
Hope, comfort.
A symbol to which lovers turn,
To whisper their pleadings,
Their confidences…
No one but the moon knows.
‘Tis on a moonless night
That we find the value of that light…
Man may have walk’d on the moon,
But the moon always captures our hearts…

Beware of the leaven, when you look up, see the sun, the moon, the stars, all the host of heaven.
Worship them not, ask them, for no favour.
It's very easy to be a slave, but to be a child, you must be brave.
Our Father in heaven tunes all the strings,and when the time comes, all creation will sing...

This I will tell you truly, it is hard to find your place, when you are empty inside.

Lord, I'm praying for your guidance,
But all I hear is silence,
It's you I want to follow,
So I'll look to you tomorrow,
But first, Lord, I need your voice,
I need to hear from you to make my choice,
I need your help to send these demons out of my mind,
Cuz I know they are more deceiving than mankind.
