Blind Silence

Blind Silence

by George W. Beasley

Silence is deaf in the mist of great storms

All you can hear is the rumble of thunder

The voices scream death 

Your will to live is disappearing 

Where am I

Who can hear me

It’s dark in the silence

Invisible when so many are looking

All I can see is darkness

They see but they won’t help me

Where am I

Who can see me

It’s dark being unseen

There is one who can hear

There is one who can see

Where is He

He is here

What is His Name

Jesus, The Son of God

Your Redeemer 

Your Savior

He loves you

Can you see

He loves you 

Can you hear

Yes! 

The Shooter by George W. Beasley

Why I’ve always ask

Did he pull that trigger that day

Leaving me this way

I’m still so sad after all these years

So many tears, so many years

I often wonder from the front or side

Which way did he die

The voices were loud I know 

Why I’ve always ask

Was it mother or me

Brothers and sisters have suffered so much

The pain goes deep and the voices are loud

Daddy why did you go

Daddy I didn’t know

Why did you go

The pain before the shot must have been loud

The pain after the shot still rings now

Why, I’ve always ask

Couldn't you see

There was so much to me

I think of you as you stared into my big brown eyes

Gave me a kiss 

And said goodbye

I love you so much, even today

I blamed myself as it helped the pain

But figure out that’s not the way

Daddy, the only thing I can say

You would be so proud of me this way

I love you so much, even today
