While I ponder the pages
Piqued and persuaded
To go just a little bit more
It is there that I find
In the corners of my mind
What my life has been longing for
Tucked away neatly
Not wrapped with a bow
Was solace, alive and well
Patiently waiting
For me to discover
Then go out in the world and tell
Tell of the truth
Of kindness and love
Embracing the differences, we see
A lesson so old
Again, to be told
By a simple man like me
And just like that… I have a book published… If you purchase and read this book of Poetry of Faith I hope you find words that touch your heart, your soul and your faith…
All the best,
Kev
The ashes are all that’s left
Of the woman I loved so dear.
These callused hands once held her close
While these lips whispered in her ear.
Now, I say, I love you.
I will repeat those words every day.
And in my mind, I still hear your reply
Because, it was always that way.
How difficult does your road have to be
Is it filled with potholes
Or as smooth as the sea
Is it scattered with pebbles
And filled with cracks
Are there mountains or molehills
Or well-worn down tracks
Is it uphill or down
Which way do you go
Do you have a destination
Are you stuck in the snow
Is your path blocked by a rock slide
Or fallen down tree
What gets in your way
When you’re trying to see
Do you look for specs
In another one’s eye
When the log in your own
Could cause you to die
Take care on your travels
For they lead to the past
Find the smooth road ahead
Because it all goes too fast
Here is the cover for my first book of poetry. What do you think? I took this photo on a fishing trip in June 2019 while out in the Gulf of Mexico off the Alabama gulf coast. It seemed only natural to use this picture as it captured the grandeur of God’s morning portrait. Naturally, there is a fishing rod in the foreground which is perfect for me.
Wish me luck! All the writing has been completed, and the formatting seems to be okay, so… I need some more input from my editors (wife and a friend) and then I can set a release date. I can’t wait to leave a little something behind for my children and grandchildren.
The dark crept in and I didn’t even notice,
Until I was stumbling around,
Wondering how I lost my way.
Isn’t that how it always happens?
Evil is sly and persistent and very patient.
Seek the Light!
Stay in the Light!
Live in the Light!
Be the Light for others,
And show them the way out of the dark.
Is the load you carry
Harder every day?
Every minute, every hour
Do you feel the weight?
With your eyes towards heaven
Can you feel His love?
I’ll help bear your load…
A gift from above!
