Through My Eyes

In the name of The One, The True, The Sincere
With all the lessons I’ve learned, always with me, always here
With all the memories, running through my mind
I write my message to thee, like I do every year

A year of growth with more challenges to overcome
Illusions to dismantle, more work to be done
The wonders of the game, the marvels of the heart
Startling all alike: lost souls, or empires so dumb

I yearn for you every time I hear your voice
It’s always with me, a beautiful excuse to rejoice
Renewing my conviction and dispersing my clouds
Guiding me gently, when making every choice

Back to basics, back to the core
Dispersing the fog like I did before
Understanding the meaning of searching for a meaning
Retreating less and gaining more

Do I need to repeat and renew vow?
Or focus on what matters, right here and now?
Does the sun need a reminder? Does the moon ever forget?
The everlasting symphony reminds them, when, where and how

Today I am grateful for what you’ve built in me
How to see the world so boundless and free
A true connection to the source of it all
To be as sincere as I can ever be

Today I am thankful for the blessings God has bestowed
On me and you, and all who see beauty, and behold
The soldier remains steadfast, guided by with what’s True
With your endless wisdom, and the best stories ever told

Another Piece … Through My Eyes

It’s the same theme, from a long time ago
It still rings strong, furious… and true
It’s a theme never meant to be forgotten
Till its grand finale we witness, hear, and do

Today I sit to write my message to thee
Reflecting on my memories, and what you mean to me
An anchor to help me, support me and guide…
My flow of recklessness, wisdom, or glee

I pray for guidance, motivation and strength
I pray for perseverance and wisdom so intense
I still believe in the fight you put in me
I still believe in salvation for past, future, and every tense

Today I write you, to renew my everlasting vow
With a promise to bring out what’s needed, for then and now
With faith and reliance, on the exalted one
God be my guide, and may He victory allow

I still miss you, and remember every day
Still uncovering your unmatched beauty in every new way
An example so gentle, wise and pure
An example to give guidance, then, tomorrow, and today

I take my learnings, and add them to your everlasting grace
Shed light on the picture, here and there and in every place
Learn new things, and get back to the drawing board
To make the picture clearer, then back to the race

Today I am thankful, for all what God has bestowed
For all his blessings, and support along the road
With love all around me, faith, strength and what you put in us
I yearn to make you proud.. in this, and every ode

Another Piece … Through My Eyes

I stood there yesterday, with your memory so close
With loved ones around me, remembering you with a prose
Paying a visit, like I used to do
To let you know I still remember, with memories so hard to lose

Twenty years have passed, since we said goodbye
Months, years, and decades have passed by
I still come here to remind you
That this fire will never die

Today I tell you, we are alright
With a dream to make you proud, holding on so tight
Your legacy, still holding my head up high
A motivation, that helps me choose what’s right

Making sure I remind you, that love is all around
With my face looking into the distance, with glory abound
No matter what hiccups came my way
Everyday, still making ground

Here to remind you, and renew my everlasting vow
The soldier still fights, inside, outside, then and now
Your righteous kindness, and memories of joy
With every step, making ground, anywhere, anyhow

I still miss you, and remember every minute
Every word you told me, and every memory so vivid
No matter where I am, I still yearn for you
With god’s wind beneath my wing, there’s never a limit

Another Piece … Through My Eyes

This heart that keeps on giving, has never gone astray
This love you had for me, will never go away
Today I am reaching out again, like I always do
To let you know, I will forever cherish this day

Today, I write another message to you
A message of love, hope and a vow to renew
I miss your smile, and your gentle heart
For God be my witness, you are a reason for me to grow

Still going strong, with inner wars to overcome
Still standing up straight, I don’t fear no drum
With my shoulders back, like you are supposed to be
With unconditional faith, till glory is set to come

Many years have passed since you told me
That you loved me, with many reasons to be free
To shatter the weakness, to build one’s pride
To plant a man, more than just a tree

Today I miss you, like I always do
But you’re beside me, in my thoughts to help me cut through
In my continuous journey to realize what’s worth fighting for
In my journey to understand, when it’s time to down throw

Tonight, I am here to renew my vow
The memory of you still helps me know how
May God always be by my side, as the soldier matures and grows
And you’re always in my prayers, then, and now

Another Piece … Through My Eyes

It’s this time of year, when I reach out to you
To tell you how I feel, to tell you what’s true
Right on schedule, never forgetting my promise
For you are my friend, I will always come through

A flow of emotions, many won’t comprehend
For my love for you will never end
My messages won’t be gone, or lost in space
Will not change, come what illusion to bend

Still going strong, and thankful for my blessings
Sometimes you fear when the world is pressing
But faith brings you back to the path you are supposed to take
To tame your dark side, gracefully, with no stressing

Another year has passed, and more reflections to assess
I am still true to my promise, I am still doing best
Grateful for the ones God put, to help along the way
And for the patience you taught me, to guide me through the test

I am still the soldier, that you’d be proud to see
Observing the field, engaging where I meant to be
Sometimes you miss, sometimes you score
For when you chart your path, you plant, and nourish the tree

Tonight, I am here to renew my vow
To stay the course, to dream, to shine, and success to allow
When the world is full of noise, fear won’t push me back
Won’t let it prevail, I am still fighting, like then, like now

Another year has passed, and more successes to share
Still vigilant, not complacent, still holding on to my prayer
For God is close to help, giving glory to those who stay true
For your pride in me, taught me to stay just and fair

Another Piece … Through My Eyes

It’s all here, will never go away
It will not be taken from me, or go astray
Nothing to stop me, or hold me back
To send my message to thee, every year, down to the day

It’s not gone, it all still remains
I still remember you, come sunshine or rain
You are still a draft of wind, under my wings
With faith and drive, no matter on what lane

Another year has passed, with a lot to share
I am still learning, to be just and fair
Winning back the fight, when it seemed so hard to endure
I am still stronger, with every hope and prayer

Today I am here, to renew my vow
To make you proud, then, and now
For my love to you, will never go away
You’re always on my mind, when it’s time to take a bow

Still going strong, no matter how high is the tide
Finding the opportunity, in each and every ride
If they are all against you, you can still prevail
With faith and endurance, and no room for despair

Once upon a time, you made a request
To visit you every year, and never forget
I hold this dear to my heart, every single year
For you will never be forgotten, by me, or the rest

Another year has passed and promises never change
The faith to fight, grow and shine, on every stage
For you are my friend, that never goes away
And I will keep your memory, no matter at what age
