| SUCCESS OR NOT We have too many homeless kids Living like vagabonds on our streets Penniless and hungry, with very little to eat Most of them survive, by immoral means Many of them are in their lower teens They get into all sorts of trouble Life for them is a constant struggle Prostitution, stealing and dealing They become hardened criminals Without any feelings This has gone on, for far too long And is way out of control Really and truly, they have become lost souls Most have come from abusive situations Many of these kids have serious complications Government departments do very little I believe they’ve become very fickle They really don’t want to know Its doesn’t go away, all it does is grow Abuse of this kind, breeds bad seed We need to move fast For these kids to succeed © Natalie Price April 2009 |
LOVE AND HUGS Find the time To say I love you It makes us feel like new Give plenty of big hugs It’s a good feeling Being snug as a bug Smiling is like Warm sunshine A healing power To our mind God is letting us know That in time All will be fine Dwelling on the past Stops us moving forward We don’t go backwards Only onwards Go for dreams That will surpass Be positive And they’ll last Showing kindness It’s like having a plus Instead of a minus God gives us assurance It’s better than Any other insurance © Natalie Price April 2009 |
| THINKING SMART Never give up hope When you think You’re at the end of your rope Your circumstances will change As you loosen the chains You may feel like you’re Being squeezed through a funnel There is a light At the end of the tunnel If you want to build Healthier relationships Get yourself into a good fellowship You will be amazed At your positive outlook Buy some good books The word of God Is a great place to start You’ll never look back Just think smart Your life does have meaning Just do some spring cleaning Clear the dark old webs And listen to what Jesus said Follow him, and turn from sin A new heart you’ll have within You do have a chance For a new beginning A great new life Without the sinning Evil has destroyed So much in your life Go on and be strong You’re not under the knife Immoral acts And a life of confusion All you need is God With no disillusions One thing about the Lord He always loves you And cares very deeply About what you do You will triumph in victory As you turn away From your sinful history © Natalie Price April 2009 |

UNSUPPORTIVE HUSBANDS A young mother concerned For her young daughter Worried and not knowing Where to turn Struggling on her own At the hospital Hearing her daughter groan Waiting patiently in the waiting room Hoping to get in soon No husband there to comfort her Her tears in her eyes were a blur The mother started to chat to us She needed a friend she could trust And spoke about her unbelieving spouse He sounded like an abusive louse And didn’t seem to care You could see this mother Was in deep despair Apparently he thought the child Was putting it on And believed it one big con I thank God we were there To comfort her And showed her that we cared Listening to her it was very sad She was so unhappy For her, I felt really bad Unsupportive husbands Lack so much emotion So unfeeling Without any devotion © Natalie Price May 2009 |
| STAY IN CONTROL The best way to solve any crisis Go somewhere alone and pray Otherwise you Will go around the twist And ruin your day I’ve found that arguments Only make things worse You become wild Until you burst Communication is good Because you get your point across And you’re understood But raising voices Only brings on anger This puts you in danger Of being physically abused Especially when they blow a fuse Avoid all conflicts You never can predict When they’re in a mood And they want a feud A smile and hug Can change their disposition It calms them down And puts you in a better position Even if you know they’re wrong It’s not worth an argument As it only prolongs Wait till they’re calm You will less likely be harmed Prayers get answered Stay in one accord It’s best to talk to the Lord Let go and let God Less lightly to get flogged Being in control You’re better off on the whole © Natalie Price May 2009 |
DARK GLOOM OF DEPRESSION The room feels cold and very dark No laughter in the air His world sees no light And all that you do is not right Nothing pleases him How he speaks is very negative He becomes very defensive I have tried so hard To brighten up his day No matter what I say He lives within his miserable mind With nothing nice to say Accept being unkind Being with a depressive person Can drive you insane All he does is find fault and complain Encouragement only made him worse He often wished he was dead So he could end up in a hearse Buried and gone and so is his curse Bitterness sets in And everyone should pay The dark gloom deepens With you wishing it would go away Refusing all help or any advice You pray that God Will at least make him nice Children should not see This kind of behaviour You’re not doing them any favours They need a happy atmosphere And plenty of cheer With laughter in the air and singing A joyful home without fearing A contented and healthier lifestyle Positive vibes that help make Their lives worthwhile We have a duty of care To do our very best And to get them prepared Don’t fill their lives with dread They need our love and support And should never be mislead © Natalie Price May 2009 |
| GET RID OF EVIL AND CALL ON JESUS No one wants to live in a world Where evil gets met with approval Sin runs rampart if we continually Harden our hearts by our refusal Jesus is our Saviour he is the answer To all this foul behaviour We expect evil to be punished Especially if we see children Suffering or undernourished We have laws in place Hopefully to protect our families From being harmed from serious fatalities God’s laws have been put in place By his wonderful caring grace The cross is a place where God punishes sin Giving us hope and a new life within It is on the cross that God punishes evil Where he takes care of that satanic weevil Jesus was slaughtered for us to have hope A wonderful offer so that we could cope Believe for your eternal Salvation For brand new beginning, a new creation I would not have come through without Jesus Surrendering all my sins at the foot of cross Was the best decision I’ve ever made I know now my debt has been paid It’s a great feeling in knowing you’re saved © Natalie Price May 2009 |

HELL HOLE In the middle of the heat of the day The sweat on my brow Will not wipe away My body aching from limb to limb This is a hell home I’m within Under the heavy arm of a guard A loathsome beast, with no regard Trying to take a break from His watchful eyes He turns on me full of despise His whip cuts deeply into my skin Wreaking with pain, I am so thin The food I eat is off the ground Only scraps that can be found The putrid water I drink Comes from the drains From the sink and it stinks At night I am so cold My clothes are in rags Dirty and smelly My health is really bad I want to die in my distress It’s the only way I will get my rest It’s hard to imagine This sort of thing goes on But it’s been going on For so long When we go through all Our fiery trials Please sit down And think for awhile We have so many blessings Sometimes we fail to see I thank the Lord My life is not depressing And for watching over me © Natalie Price May 2009 |
