Let me brush the hair from your face,
And caress your warm soft cheek.
As I whisper love-words in your ear,
And feel you by me, warm and near.
I do so softly, so as not to wake,
Or disrupt the night-spell's magic.
I want to feel your breath so soft,
The angels' wings upon it loft.
A tear so softly wets my cheek,
My breath is drawn in deep.
From my lips a prayer is spoken,
That this spell will not be broken.
Of all the gifts that God has given
So many not deserved,
To this one alone I will hold fast,
Until I breathe my very last.

Whaddaya gonna do,
When it all comes true,
And Jesus returns to earth?
Whaddaya gonna do.
When He says to you,
“Why did you not honor My birth?”
Whaddaya gonna say,
If you did not pray,
And accept His Saving Grace?
Howdaya fix the mess,
If you have not followed,
When you have your steps retraced?
Gitdown on your knees,
And ask to follow Him,
His Arms are outstretched wide.
All you need to do,
Is recognize your Lord,
And give up your foolish pride.

It used to be now,
But now it is not.
I used to know how,
But now I do not.
Time passes through us,
What do we do?
Do we do with it,
Or let it be through?
Wishing time over
Will come at last.
And at last, will we cry,
How quickly it’s passed?
Live in each moment,
Breathe deep, be aware.
Know God and be certain,
There’s no time to spare.

I want to be the smile on your face.
I want to be the song in your heart.
I want to part the clouds for your sunshine.
I can’t be your WHOLE, so I’ll be your PART.
I am by your side forever,
To help heal you and always keep you well.
If anyone sings our song for others,
Let that be the story they tell.

Oh my, my dear,
What have you done?
You’ve gone and sinned,
Now it’s all undone.
Now He’s angry,
And you’ve cut the Rope,
That tied you to
Your one last Hope.
You’re all adrift,
In a sea of tears.
Tossed about,
By all your fears.
But there with you,
He still does stand.
Holding fast,
To your trembling hand.
He Always keeps,
His Promise of Grace.
His love for you,
You cannot erase.
So dry your tears,
And fall in The Arms,
That keep you safe,
From all sin’s harms.

LIFE
Is
Just
The
Slow
Process
Of
Becoming
Who
You
Were
(Hopefully).

“Papaw, whatzat?”
My granddaughter asks,
As she watches me
Pull my pocketwatch
From the front of my bibs
To check the time.
“That’s my watch.”
I tell her,
As she holds it in her hand,
Intently studying.
She shakes her head.
“It takes too long
To know
What time it is.”
She remarks.
Out of the mouths of babes…
But I like it.
The slow deliberate
And quiet ticking
Of the pocketwatch
In my bibs.

Morning.
My hot coffee awaits.
Sweeten it with kisses.
Soothe my soul
With so soft sounds.
A chuckle is a tickle.
Laughter the ******
Love becomes laughter,
Laughter becomes love.
A giggle with a snuggle,
A musical, singing sigh.
We say so much without a word,
But draw closer,
You and I.

I so badly wanted to write
The perfect love-song.
But the words escaped me.
I thought the words all had to rhyme,
The chords had to make perfect harmony.
But I had not heard yet, the song of love.
I had heard the so-soft words.
Whispered in twilight just before dreams.
But had not found their meanings.
I did not know the stop,
To lay softly and be weak.
But instead stood tall, strong, and ready.
When my body could love no more,
I was sure I had achieved wisdom.
But I was just being made silent.
I learned love in the quiet whisper,
In the soft twilight memory of being held.
But thought then it was too late.
And in my tearful lamentations,
Spoken quietly in the wind.
She heard...her hand still in mine.

Come to me easy,
Like a warm Summer’s night.
Laying bare on my bed,
In soft glow of the night.
Come to me easy,
Like a soft gentle sigh.
Whisper soft in my ear,
As the night passes by.
Come to me easy,
In night’s symphony sounds.
Our passion together,
Love knowing no bounds.
Come to me easy,
You are but a dream.
Memories held fast,
You are here so it seems.
Come to me easy,
Put a smile on my face.
The things that we had,
Gone will never erase.
