Hearing from a old friend
is always such a thrill
bringing forth the memories
of times that were so clear
to share lifes experience
with one whom lives so far
the distance doesent matter
just the closeness of the hearts
like best friends sitting on the porch
calling out the stars
yet often more like ships
passing in the fog
we carry on our lives journeys
but always checking in
to share a bit of wisdom
and a happy grin
Wandering moments
bodies and eyes
warm stolen glances
promised delight

just out of focus
a face in the crowd
emotional welling
unleashing desire

the feeling is fleeting
soon it will be gone
reach out with your feelings
to where you belong

Sure the fatigue would come...
Infiltrating the sanctity of our skin,
gripping our muscles
and chafes us within.
Right down to the bone.

No doubt the fear of future days
would eat at us raw.
It would gnaw at our minds...
Debilitating thoughts that would *******
no one else but our own.

Of course the seeds we've planted,
mightn't see past the layer of soil
in which they're embedded.
Seeds hidden in the ground for future reaping...
They mightn't flourish to meet the harvest
and greet the hand which would
welcome them full grown.

Most likely the days before us
only show of dark clouds...
That constantly scare us.

But today...
Has time and space for us to exist.
Today has a crisp sweetness wafting through the air.
Firm, unwavering ground beneath our feet.
So let's claim today because today is ours to keep.

Today we share the returns...
Of the sweat and the tears that in the past
we've sown.

Great men, great poets but!!!!
What do you lesser mortals want to read?
Simple words? Simple phrases?
Some of you just like me
Can't work out the difference between a green salad and a metaphor
But that doesn't matter
We care not
Because we write with love
No pretentious ideas of lasting glory
We write primarily for you,for us
We write because we love words
I am just a mortal man, whom worship an Immortal Savior.
I have my Failings, but none the less , I love my Savior.
With an Perfect Heart, this is what he calls us to do in worship.
To worship him in the Perfect Spiritual Worship even now.
To trust him in everything to Praise him in Song and Dance.
To follow him no matter where it might leas us to as well.
To be Perfect host, and obey his Holy Spirit within us.
But we receive the best Gift from him, the Holy Spirit.
It protect, bless us, as well as other things it does for us.
Keep me running where I'm going
Keep me looking straight ahead
Keep me always facing forward
Never looking back

Keep me focused with a purpose
Keep me reaching for a goal
Keep me in your loving arms my God
Never let me go

Keep me moving in what I'm doing
Keep me on a solid track
Keep me dreaming of tomorrow
And not dwelling on the past

Keep me forever in your shelter
Where you alone fulfill my needs
Lord all I have is all I ask
That you please keep me
