The Great Design the Message, so simple with an application: so challenging immaculately sketched from perfect stokes Each word, a day in someone's life Each line, a prayer for redemption a language primer to teach man how to speak to give thanks how to read, in order to understand I thought the lessons would be easier as I became a better student but the more I think I learned the less I measured up. Still, with chaos brewing inside praise and gratitude tumble from lips as easily as clouds collide in baby-breezes overlapping in wondrous arrays of heavenly softness I don't pretend to understand the reasoning behind the Great Design but there is serene comfort in trusting one's destiny to the hands of the Designer ~ ~ ~ offering for comfort: an explanation by way of nonexplanation) Jeff |

All things are in His hands; it is amazing we think we are in control... we are fools. Well done, Jeff. She will take great comfort from this... |

Woweee - what a lovely way of expressing the way that our pathway through life is ordained, I have printed this one out. I have to tell you, that many years ago, I discovered the meaning of life, and wrote it down, but sadly, I misplaced it and have never found it.

Jeff, your poem is as a prayer a sweet smelling incense that rises to the eye and ear of God. *HuGS* Lynne Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

but the more I think I learned the less I measured up. Life is a gift that is too often taken for granted, when there is so much more to it than sweatin' the small stuff. We all have our own designs but freinds are hard to come by, and it's difficult when we are so near and dear and yet so faraway. sigh~ You say it so well Jeff~ |
