How it feels

In love with the ordinary

Has been written in our text

Then everything gets clearer

Is something we must confess

Something’s we can not help it

Keeping each other aware

Of anything you want to know

Is really only fair

We won’t live in our regret

We are here and now willing

Always looking forward

Won’t give away the ending

Relationships they can challenge

But we continue to strive

Up again and down again

It’s good to be alive

Binding this sweet love in us

Has been the best for all

Kindness, sweet and honesty

Ensuring not to fall

Marriage is our commitment

To each other is real

Wanting not to hold it back

This is how it feels

Composed by Carl Schunke and given as a wedding gift to Levi Borntrager and Esther Wagler        10-25-2006

God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears and light for the way.

The Rug

You shouldn’t worry

Holding covers tight

Why so willing

Continuing to fight

Skepticism, holding back

Fighting inside, which way to go

Being safe, no risk in sight

Scared of “what if”, Leave alone

Close your eyes

All colors are bright

It’s in your heart

To do this right

Give in breathe out

This is in you

Don’t be alone

I miss you too

Pull the rug

You want to feel

Shake it out

For something so real
