    About this ebook

    People are placed in our lives for a reason and for a season. Pray
    for discernment to know whom God wants you to hold on to, and
    who to let go at their appointed time. For to hold on to them any
    longer than God intened is going against His will!

      In the Still of the Night - Judith A. Carter

      Tonight i longed for you

      Tonight I longed for you

      For the gentleness of your touch

      Whispering tenderly in my ear

      Our affair lasted many years

      Though never becoming one

      Love was made many times

      Hearts combined, we understand

      We have a meshing of the minds

      I longed for you another night

      Caressed with your seducing kisses

      Your eyes tell me what’s been held inside

      Tell me the secrets of your heart

      Share with me your soul

      Imagine us years to come

      Imagine us growing old

      I long to be loved, just by one

      I long for it to be you

      How do I make a journey back

      To a place I’ve never been

      And tell me how to re-unite

      With a lover, with a friend

      Tonight I know I longed for you

      As I shut my eyes to sleep

      What you shared from your heart

      Are treasures I’ll always keep

      I’ll ponder thoughts in my mind

      Wondering what’s next to do

      I’ll ponder these thoughts in my mind

      As I lay and long for you

      The Mercy Seat

      One day I sat and pondered a thought

      Trying not to think more than I ought

      The sky was gray because a storm was at bay

      I was lost in the abyss of my thoughts that day

      I did not understand why I felt so lost

      I was alone, but not alone

      And at what cost?

      I lost myself somewhere along the way

      I’m searching for the right path

      Trying not to stray

      I remembered a prayer

      Serenity it’s called

      I saw it hanging there on the wall

      The prayer said:

      "God grant me the serenity

      To accept the things I cannot change" . . .

      Oh yeah, I remember, my, how strange ~

      Courage to change the things I can . . .

      I wish I had remembered this way back when ~

      And wisdom to know the difference . . .

      Oh, how my life’s changed in an instant.

      God, I said, help me if you will

      This battle of mine seems all uphill

      I’m looking to see where I can go

      I need your help, because I just don’t know

      My child, I believe I heard the Lord say

      The questions you want are on the way

      I know you feel lost, but I assure you you’re
