I have walked this road countless times
and I've always done my best,
I keep my questions to myself-
why must I take this recurring test?
and I've always thanked Jesus
for the things which I'm blessed.

But this time, I walk
with the sun in the west.

God spoke light and exhaled dark.
Time to go home if you hadn't guessed.

I now need for nothing,
I do not hunger nor thirst,
I am satisfied with life,
for it isn't the worst,
I have love and memories
of roads I walked first,
I am luckier than most,
the joy makes me burst...

finally seeing home once more-
this time, I made a perfect score.

4.0 is also the greatest Jeep engine of all time...

I love this poem. One of my favorites from you.

Fall in love early, fall in love often.

Yo dear Passing shadows,

This is a very nice poem describing my wife's unbelievable overall grade point average.

She's much smarter than I am.

Love Bobby
