"Everything's Alright" by Heather Pent

When agony rips through my chest
An unseen, gaping wound
My mind says, "Just go on, and do your best."
But my heart says, "Help will be there soon."

When I scream and cry and try to fight
The help that comes my way
I feel sins cold grasp cast me back in doubt,
The stone no longer rolled away.

But when I see His loving hands
reaching down to hug me tight,
And I learn to see this loving grasp as Freedom:
My right in Christ!
I put the stubborn me aside,
And reach out for the light.
The only way I can truly say, "Everything's alright!"

"Florida" by Heather Pent

Oh what depth of sorrow
The loss of a child must bring
One so small and helpless
Ripped from Life's grasp by Death's painful sting

A mothers heart so torn apart
By the evil in this world
Her loving arms never more to hold
Her precious baby girl.

Fear often finds my heart week
When I think of my sweet girl
And all the evil that lies in wait to tempt her in this world

My only consolation-
God's loving had to grasp
Until this world is no more
And I am home at last.

"The Beholder" by Heather Pent

I was told that the "beholder" says
what's pretty and what's not.
And not always being the beholder
Can teach you quite a lot.

Like seeing things that are inside
Instead of just seeing what's without,
And looking for good character-
Not just what the world points out.

A woman's charms-
A man's physique,
Will fade with pass of time.
Till naught is left but a heart of gold
Or a mound of rust and grime.

So let this be a lesson
To the ones who are quick to point out flaws
What will be left to show for you?
When the world gives you a pause?

"For Darby" by Heather Pent

Your pain brings tears to my eyes.
Your laughter a smile to my lips.
Your joy a love in my heart-
That nothing else gives.

You are the reason I am who I am.
You are what God gave me to have a second chance.

I know I makes mistakes,
But one thing always holds true-
No matter what happens in this world,
Mommy will always love you!
