Mothers Give Up On
Sons Like Us
by G. Bennett
I can't calm my voice
when she tells me to
hush
Mothers give up on sons
like this
I disregard her advice
and put up a fuss
Mothers give up on sons
like this
The tears cried for me
could fill up 2 oceans,
she can't calm herself
to stop this commotion
My maker and drugs
compete for my soul
From the lines on her
face, I see it taking a
toll
No matter her pleas to
me or the prayers that
she makes
It does little to make
my drug-induced foundation
shake
With the passing of time
my priorities change
I justify these childish
antics in any way I can
I blame my own family
instead of being a man
Ask for forgiveness
when you cant help but
cuss
Mothers give up on sons
like us
I've never been right,
I've only been wrong
It's time to transform,
it's gone on too long
I took you for granted
and I know how it's true
Don't give up now
Mom, you know I love
you
Here's to my honorable
student, the son I can
trust
Mothers give up on sons
like us
You can't stay for dinner?,
tell me what is the
rush
Mothers give up on sons
like us
I set forth a fire, thus
the first bridge did burn
Others followed in succession
but yet I still
didn't learn
It took the depths of
despair to put myself
back together
To give up on these demons
no matter what
change on my self
It turns out I never
gave up, I gave up on my
self
You never took that unconditional
Love and put
in on the shelf.
No more fog obscures
the things that I see
I don't know about you
other sons,
but my mother never
gave up on me.

His Princess Warrior by Sheri Rose Shepherd
"Sometime later; God tested Abraham's faith. 'Abraham!' God called. 'Yes,' he re-plied. 'Here I am.' 'Take your son, your only son--yes, Isaac, whom you love so much...and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you." Genesis 22:1-2. "I want to set you free from holding on to any-one but Me. Because I love you, I am asking you today to trust Me with those you love by laying them down at My altar.
If you will obey Me, I will bless you as I blessed Abraham for laying down his much-loved son on the altar. Remember, those I place in your life ultimately belong to Me. I know what is best, because I created you and them; this test of your faith is not for Me, My beloved Warrior....it is for you. I want you to walk the rest of your days in complete freedom---not in fear for those you love!
Love,
Your King who is to be trusted.

"Let not the cares of this world overwhelm you. Lift your thoughts above the things that bear down on you. I have given you the way out of these earthly cares. My Word and My presence are your ways of escape and refuge from them. Why allow these temporal things to weigh you down and crush you? Shake off the burdens that render you ineffective in your life. Give all of them to Me and see how pleasant it will end and how much sooner.
Did I not say that My ways are higher than yours? And My thoughts higher than yours? Think on that and be free to live your life in abundant blessing.
In this world you will and MUST have tribula-tion----but only until you learn to surrender it to Me! I am able to carry all of it. And I have overcome it for your sake. Repent of your stress. Roll it over on Me. I am ready and willing to issue a burden of Light to you. Now sleep again. Rest in Me and live.
Your loving Papa As received by the Father to Mrs. B
