The Season of Change

Autumn winds gently in,
washing away Summer's sin...

Autumn winds blow free,
chasing colored leaves from every tree...

Autumn winds chill,
frosting through every valley and hill...

Autumn winds passed,
waiting for Winter's snowy blast.

The Reflection

On a trail, I spotted a turtle
lost from its home by the water,
I said to the turtle,
'If you're lost, I can help you, '
but the turtle just kept plugging along.

On that same trail, I saw two squirrels
racing to and fro,
I said to the squirrels,
'If you're lost, I can help you, '
but the squirrels just kept racing along.

Further down the trail, I found a mirror
that someone had dropped,
I saw God in its reflection-He said to me,
'If you're lost, I can help you, '
but I just kept walking along.

A Simple Pleasure

The sun shines on you,
gentle beauty sparkling through,
eyes reflecting like diamonds,
heart reflecting of love,
your hair like gold dust
blowing gently in the air,
laughter deep from your soul
lifts you higher and higher.
I watch you in humbled splendor
as back and forth you go...
never thinking of stopping
or letting go,
a simple pleasure that gives us joy,
back and forth a thousand times,
legs kicking in unison with each pass,
a day of laughter and love,
a simple pleasure...
a lifetime of memories.

The Big One

I watched two people fishing,
one August day at the lake,
the sun was shining brightly,
as I began to bake.

I found an old oak tree,
to sit under and glare,
I watched these two for hours,
with their fishing poles high in the air.

They talked about the old times,
as they tried for their feast,
they were hoping for the big one:
a fish known as 'The Beast'.

I watched them be patient,
casting again and again in the water,
the fish were just not biting,
as the day got hotter and hotter.

A Beggar's Prayer

Precious Lord;

I have much to ask,
and you have much to do;
But Lord,
I need your Mighty strength...
for I know not what to do.

I know my place is humble,
and you are the King of Kings;
But Lord,
I need your Mighty strength...
for I know not what to do.

I'm certain that I am unworthy,
of your mercy and saving grace;
But Lord,
I need your Mighty strength...
for I know not what to do.
