Within Reach

I’m standing on the open shore
and looking out at evermore
the nature of his glory and his grace.
I see the clouds all part away
in tribute to a brand new day
where sun is shining brightly like his face.
I hear the voice of nature’s song
as all creation sings along
each rhyth-mi-cal-ly lapping on the beach.
I breathe the scent of ocean air
and know that pur-i-ty of prayer
brings angels who are kneeling within reach.
I taste the salt combined with mist
and feel somehow that I’ve been kissed
by heaven found in grandeur of the bay.
I touch the sand beneath my toes
and there it is that I suppose
that Jesus might be coming any day.

God Bless,

Lighthouse Bob

I haven't been in here for a while, I would pop in periodically just to look around and looked for your words, but seemed maybe you were away a bit also...as always you manage to touch with your scribes.

Blessings.

Hey, seeing that you are also from California and have been missing from the "Corner Pub" for awhile, maybe we could start a little rumor that us Californians fell off into the ocean or something... Smiles... The truth is though, that I have been dealing with diabetic retinopothy, blindness... but I am doing much much better now and do hope to be around for awhile. Thank you for looking out for me though and God bless. -Bob

Thank you for those words. Yes, Nature certainly does have a "Wonderful" way of singing God's praise. Thanks again and God bless. -Bob
