Where has the time gone?

Where Has The Time Gone?
By Cole Carr


Staring out the window
As the rain pours down
Watching horses pass by
Thinking
Where did time go?


It seems a second ago I was 5
Now I’m 23
Where did the years go?


A second ago I was in Kindergarten
Now I’m done with College
Where did the time go?


A second ago my baby sister was born
Now she’s 18
Where have the years gone?

A second ago I've never dated
Now I'm married
Where has the years gone?


A second ago I read my first book
Now I’m writing my own
Where has the time gone?


Where did my years go?
If you know please tell me
I would really like to know

The Total Eclipse

The Total Eclipse

By Cole Carr and Thunder


As the moon passes in front of the sun
Darkness covers the Earth
The sun’s rays are blacked out
The light fades from view
For all but a minute
It is a phenomenal sight
If you really looked at it
You would see a diamond ring effect
God chose you
Yes YOU
As his bride
He was proposing to YOU
The diamond ring was meant
For each and everyone of his people
I hope that while you watched the Eclipse
The glory that is God’s work amazed you
Because it amazed me

When I Was in Kindergarten

When I Was in Kindergarten
By Cole Carr

It seemed in Kindergarten
I had my whole life planned out
Down to the T
What job I would have
What type of car I'd drive
Everything

When I was 5
I wanted to be a race car driver
Not just any race car driver
But a NASCAR Driver
I now want to be an author

When I was 5
I told myself I’d get my permit
On my 15th birthday
I got it a week after

When I was 5

I told myself I’d get my license
On my 16th birthday
I will be 19 in a month
And still no license

When I was 5
I pictured my high school
Graduation
I counted down the days
Everything
And now that high schools
Over
Its time to join the real world

When I was 5
I didn’t really picture
My first job
I always pictured my dream job
I think it would probably
Have been at a car lot
Instead I was a office assistant/receptionist

When I was 5
I had my whole life in front of me
I planned everything
I wanted to do

I don’t think much of it came true

At The Foot of The Cross

At The Foot of The Cross

By Cole Carr

When you think of the cross
What do you picture?
Is it a t shape?
Or maybe you think of
A t shape, with a man pinned to it

When I think of the cross
I think of Jesus
The son of God
Pinned to the cross by three nails

With a small cloth on
And a crown of thorns
Upon his head

The thief on his right
And the thief on his left
The disgrace and shame it brought him

His own blood denied him
Said he is no son of mine
His mother
The woman who gave birth to him
Denied him

And all for what
So that she wouldn’t be shamed

In those days
The cross was shame
There was nothing more shameful

And the fact is he Chose to do it
Not for himself

But for US!!

Doubt: Poem

Doubt

By Cole Carr and Thunder

Has anyone ever doubted?
Let's ponder for a moment.
Everyone doubts at some point
It's just the way we are
Thomas doubted Jesus
and he was a faithful follower

We all doubt
Just like we all sin
But God anticipates are doubting
because it means we listen

We doubt, because we know God is.
We are made in His image
But no one is perfect
So we doubt, just like we sin

There has only ever been one person to be without sin, 
Jesus
Yeah, Adam and Eve didn't sin at one point
but the committed the ultimate sin
The one that shaped our entire future on this Earth

Family Time: Poem

Family Time
By Cole Carr & Thunder


Spend time with family
You never know when one
Will leave
When your older sibling
Will move out
Or when you move out
But even if
You live 100 or 200
Miles away you should
Still make time
For the family
That raised you
The one that was there
Through all
The heartaches
And the tears
Who wasn't afraid
To tell you no
When you do
Something bad
So remember make time
Because you never know
When it will all end.
