the answer what a blessing, the undressing of the soul on life's long highway; looking deep, evading sleep, watching stars upon the skyway... fighting wars upon the shores of fate's unchartered byway. look inside, you cannot hide from that of which you dread... hope is grim, your strength grows dim and weary steps you tread; your burden too great with so much weight of what was never done or said. how to know which way to go when answers are not there; who can say what price you'll pay for solitude's despair? left alone with the great unknown, you turn to the heavens in prayer. you are wise, you've opened your eyes and gaze clearly at what you see the smell of a flower, a fresh rain shower, an azure sky, a bumblebee, mockingbirds exchanging words in the heart of a live oak tree. blackberries growing wild, the trust of a child, wind whistling through the trees a juicy peach, a sandy beach, waves rolling in with the breeze you now understand God's mighty hand and you fall to the earth on your knees Oh God! you plead, now I see, your beauty does surround, trusting in you is so easy to do, as your gifts are all around... then you bow your head and give thanks instead for the answer that you've found.

thank you, Ellie, for your kind words. I really just finished it, and I'm not sure it reads quite right. Any suggestions? |

Linda I like the rhyme scheme you used here, this is unique. And you've presented the message well within it all! Great job!!! <*\\\>< When you can't make up your mind, Which way is right for you, Stop and softly ask yourself, "What Would Jesus Do?" |
