A Raging Storm

The sky is dark, clouds black as coalShe's done all she can to keep her winds and rains
from destroying everything in their path but,
they won't calm
Just before her rage finds its escape
One last prayer shouted to Him
God, please help me!
Her anger at a boiling point
Even if she tried she couldn't hear
His answer above her screaming winds and pounding rains
A raging storm churning in waters of anger
for the better part of the night

Only Nineteen

She seems to be in a rush The same rush I was in at only nineteen
You know the one the rush to
find independence, love and everything else
that comes with newfound freedom
Please slow down letting things happen in
their own time
I know that's hard to hear at only nineteen 
Girl you've got nothing but time
Don't settle for less than you deserve
I did and I have a broken heart to show for it
My mistakes I share with you here
so you don't cause yourself the same pain I did
when I sat where you now sit
Love will find you when you least expect it
It won't be a boy whose only interest is
in what you can do for him
Instead, it will be a man who wants
nothing more than to treat you like the
treasure you truly are
