Love God for love's sake only because He really does also love you
and if you remember Him always He'll help you in whatever you do.
He's the light of true knowledge and knows everything there is or could ever be
being never at all very far He can reveal Himself in our heart that any may see.

There are seven steps in the garden of life
which rise up to a higher ground
and anyone who makes it to that level
will experience things profound.
Each step is related to an inner plane
and is not what it seems to be;
being instead of higher consciousness
we can all reach and live more free.
----------------------------------

When everything was quite sweet
and we would both kindly meet;
it was such a joy to see you then
as we were together yet once again.

But as things have all since turned sour
we both don’t look forward to the hour
that may come for each other to greet
and so we find some excuse not to meet.

This has been going on for quite a while
and it doesn’t do much to raise a smile
which before was our accustomed case
the main feature seen on each other’s face.

If we could only just turn things around
and perhaps find some common ground
then we shouldn’t have too much to suffer
and our mutual love would act as a buffer.

When seeing into another person’s eyes
we don’t always detect confounded lies
if they’re hidden there beneath the surface
which would be defeating our life’s purpose.

‘Twas just around the corner
in the other street
I went there to see someone
and them warmly greet.
But after I arrived there
no one could be seen
my hopes were nearly shattered
as they were so keen.

I looked around and waited
for a little while
my expectations increased
and caused me to smile;
when in the road up ahead
I could surely see
a person coming my way
who seemed full of glee.

As they got closer to where
I was standing still
we recognized each other
which gave me a thrill.
How fortunate it was there
when we both did meet
it being such a long time
since we last did greet.

When looking at each other
we could really see
both of us were quite happy
and together be.
We hugged and mused on the road
where we both then stood
and laughed and talked of those things
we each thought was good.

We also remembered times
from our memory
when people were happier
and a lot more free.
Oh how life has bound us all
in its tangled web
though we hardly realize
that it does now ebb.

With everything that has past
in our lives to date
can we all now truly say
we were never late
in doing all those things that
we each had to do
and done them in such a way
that we knew was true.

We looked at each other and
said a few more words
of what we still had to do
just like two old nerds.
The time passed quickly by and
after saying much
we decided to part ways
with a final touch.

We hugged each other once more
and firmly shook hands
with thoughts of meeting again
in some other lands.
So looking straight ahead there
both our eyes could see
the feelings shared between us
then would always be.

We both turned to go back to
where we had come from
and started walking towards
that place with a song
which we sang in our hearts then
of what used to be
a feeling of love for all
knowing we were free.

From their point of departure many long or hope to return,
but where they end up or set out to go is a primary concern.

Just a little knowledge can be a very dangerous thing
and if it is misused can, in fact, one’s downfall bring.

Winter must surely be the most dreaded season of all in the whole year
of which just about every creature, in the world, has something to fear.
The cold and shortage of food often bring disease and death in their wake
and the 'survival of the fittest' is put to the test making many lives shake.
