Do you know what your heart is for?

What Your Heart is for?

By: Annie Thompson

Thank you is just not enough to say to those who give. Not just from their pocketbooks but from their hearts. Some of us like to call them heroes. When someone gives from their heart it stops is dead in our tracks, makes us take a second and feel the awe and makes us all feel not so alone.

There are people in our world that care. They may be hard to find and sometimes we have to look real hard and so that is exactly what I did. I needed help. You see, I had been suffering from a gum disease that was painful everyday and also caused me to be ill for several years. I was caught up in the swells of a raging sea of illness, unemployment, pain, financial disaster and emotional turmoil with crisis after crisis. So, I made a decision to find a beating heart out there in the world that cared. I needed dental help that I could not pay for so I reached out to twelve dentists for the kind of help that could only come from their hearts.

I typed up twelve letters pleading for help and I mailed them. Two weeks went by and no response. So, I re-mailed the letters but this time I added my picture so they could see who they would be helping. Another two weeks and still no response so finally, out of ink and needing to catch someone’s attention I sat down and hand wrote twelve more letters.

Finally, one early morning as I was feeling like giving up, the phone rang. A nice lady on the phone introduced herself as Teena Paris from Donated Dental Services of Missouri. I have to say that my heart started pounding and I felt the grace and the warmth of love wash over my entire body. She explained to me that a Dr. Sexauer, a Dentist from Clinton Missouri wanted to donate his services to fix my teeth. All I could do was weep and say thank you, amazed. Someone out there cared, completely of themselves, completely from their hearts. There was love out there.

Today it is all done. It was an experience I will not soon forget. Some things can’t be fixed but sometimes they can be made to feel much better and that is exactly what this wonderful Dr. Sexauer, Marty and all thier compassionate staff did for me. They took the pain away, gave me a new smile and a new lease on life and a new faith in mankind.

Don’t worry world. The bad guys have not won and are not taking over. The hero in all of us is still outweighing the bad.

So when I ask God, “Lord, is there anybody left in this world who knows what their heart is for?”, I believe he answered that question through a wonderful man and his devotion to God and mankind.

Thank you Dr. Sexauer, Marty and all of the wonderful staff. Thank you for your love for other people and thank you for my new life.

And world, take a deep sigh of relief and know that there are people out there who know exactly what their hearts are for.

So Close to Home...

Hello there all. This just took my heart away. When my family first moved to Missouri from California in 1979, we moved to a little town of Asbury, Mo, just northwest of Joplin, Mo. We have family friends that live there. Please share and hold all of those devastated by the wild tornado's that have plagued the United Stated this year, 2011.

Another set of Lyrics Dug out of the spiderwebs.

My World


By: Annie Thompson

1998




Verse 1:

How can so many go so strong, so long

Thinking nothing’s missing and thinking nothing’s wrong.

There are souls grown so numb and cold so deep

That their hearts have grown to stone and they don’t even know

Till their bodies torn and battered long to be help by someone

Like me, held by someone, like me.



Chorus:

And I, I could face my world

Knowing that you love me

And I could be your girl

If there is refuge

If there is any solitude

I’d like to share it with you

And peace, peace, sweet peace you give me

Oh and it heals me

And I, I could face my world

Knowing that you love me

I could face anything

I could face my world.



Verse 2:

How can I find the words to say?

That I love you and I don’t want to go away

For you, only for you I’d live

I’d live for being alive instead of living to die

For you I would, for you I would.

And what would it take for you to see that

Living in this world is hard enough let alone being alone.

What I need, you give me. Don’t need to change a thing

You’re all that I need

To be your girl to be your queen.

Chorus:

And I, I could face my world

Knowing that you love me

And I could be your girl

If there is refuge

If there is any solitude

I’d like to share it with you

And peace, peace, sweet peace you give me

Oh and it heals me

And I, I could face my world

Knowing that you love me

I could face anything

I could face my world.

A New Song (revised)

Burn This Flame

By: Annie Thompson

2009

Verse 1:
I’m being haunted by your ghost
I’m burned out
Please let it go
I can’t take no more
I want to move on with my life
And find out what was meant for me
‘Cause this can’t be it.

Chorus:
So why are you in my head?
I know I said goodbye
I left you long ago
And in my heart you dead
I can’t forget those words you said
So give it up baby
You can’t burn this flame
You can’t burn this flame
I put it out long ago
You can’t burn this flame.

Verse 2:
You were right there
I could barely see
In the deep dark fog
But always close to me.
I could feel your breath
I was captured, imprisoned by
What was in your eyes?
But it was nothing but lies.

(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3:
I lost so much
When you walked away
In our place of peace is where I stayed
I waited and now suddenly
I hear your voice
Please go away
You made your choice
Quit haunting me
Quit haunting me.

(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge:

I fell for it.

That’s what you told me

You said you loved me

Forever

On your lips

In your kiss

Yeah, I fell for it.

( Repeat Chorus)
