It's OK to Not Be OK!

At some point in life, we all hit that wall,
That wall that is too wide to walk around,
It cannot be scaled because it's too tall,
The only way to get through is with sound.

At that moment when we hit that blockade,
Sometimes it is a weight we cannot bear,
If you need to reach out, don’t be afraid,
You simply need to trust someone and share.

At some point we all need some help, we search,
One choice of people is your own small group,
Another is a friend from school or church,
They will serve as your own personal troop.

That wall’s like Jericho when it’s all out,
It will all fall down at that final shout.

Money

I check my bank account, nothing is there, 
People ask me what I'll do for a job,
But in response I say, "I do not care," 
Early that morn' I had begun to sob.  

The city's homeless live without clean clothes, 
Walking with bloody feet, they have no shoes, 
Their lives have gone downhill, they all have woes, 
They tell me they have nothing more to lose.  

When I see this I start to die inside, 
I must do something for these families, 
When I see this I lay my life aside, 
So many come up to me, say, "Oh please!"

All these people, they are so very weak, 
I only wish to give them strength to speak.
