I see you out there jogging
Around the block and back
In hopes of keeping healthy
Away from fat attacks

I hear you're eating better
I just hope it's not in vain
When this race is over
And you reach the final end

Have you taken time out
To work on your spiritual heath
Run with the true reason
Of what life's all about

Focus your attention
More on eternity
Make it your ambition
To build up your Godly needs

Then and only then
Will the race you're in be worth it
When in the end you hear God say
Well done good and faithful servant

So while you're staying focused
In your daily run about
Don't forget to be health wise
On both the in as well as out

I can't help but wonder
About the oddest things
Like what's the sense in 9/10 of a percent
In the price of gasoline

Or how did the fly
Get the name fly
When they were passing out bug names
Was he the first in line

And does it make a flower sad
When from the ground it's plucked
Then does the same flower laugh
When it's given away in love

Why has green always meant go
And red meant to stop
But yellow has changed over the years
To you'd better haul ****

And if the saying
Money doesn't grow on trees
Why at the grocery
Nothing is free

If you don't think
You know what I mean
Just look around
You too will be wondering

You can hear it if you closely listen
That's the beat of my heart missing
What I wouldn't give right now
For a glimpse of Sarah's smile

So inviting, so wide open
Where there's beauty in the knowing
Wonder of the child
Inside of Sarah's smile

Corners turned up in perfection
Leaves no room or need for guessing
As you soon find out
Inside of  Sarah's smile

Bringing life to clarity
Giving them away for free
Love the only sound
Inside of Sarah's smile

There is laughter in the making
No time that is ever wasted
What I wouldn't give right now
For a glimpse of Sarah's smile

All are cast upon life's Seas
All have cares and doubt
We can freeze at 0°
Or we can Scream & Shout

The Tempest tears at our proud sails
The waves crash on our decks
The winds wail, our strength can fail
And we can end up wrecks

Caught between two destinies
The Scylla and Charybdis
The devil and the deep blue sea
The malstrom comes to haunt us

But... avast there, mate! It's not your fate!
There asleep upon your lee
Is God so great, He's never late!
And he can calm the sea!

Have you heard? He has awoken!
He's not in the grave!
Tho we are broken, He has spoken!
He's Ruler of the waves!

So do not fear the hurricanes
For as sure as I was born
Tempests wane, in sad refrain
Before the

Maker of the Storm
