Oh, how the humble fall
Like raindrops in a storm
No regret
No hesitation
Just unadulterated love and sacrifice
THE HUMBLE… a poem

REACH OUT A WING… a Christian song
Reach out a wing
And help me find the strength I need
To climb out of this hole
Filled with despair
~~~
Can’t go alone, oh no
I need a helping hand
Heaven holds
The answer to my prayer
~~~
Long ago my momma cried
That awful sad sad day
When my daddy died
I saw what you could do
~~~
Now, she’s gone and left me here
The end for her
Was far too near
Why does life always end up this way
~~~
Reach out a wing to me
Show me God’s own grace
Lift me from this valley where I’m found
Reach out a wing to me
Save me in this place
Let me see the goodness all around
Reach out a wing to me
Won’t you, won’t you please…
Reach out a wing
~~~
Now I’m in my fifties
And I finally found the truth
The strength I needed then
Deep down inside
~~~
I hope my children see today
What I missed so miserably
Way back when, yeah
All those years in pride
~~~
And I know momma would be proud
The helpful hand out in the crowd
Loving those
Who never found their way
~~~
I guess this was just the time
When God’s great plan began to shine
And showed me what’s inside
Of one man’s grace
~~~
Reach out a wing to me
Show me God’s own grace
Lift me from this valley where I’m found
Reach out a wing to me
Save me in this place
Let me see the goodness all around
Reach out a wing to me
Show me God’s own grace
Lift me from this valley where I’m found
Reach out a wing to me
Save me in this place
Let me see the goodness all around
Reach out a wing to me
Won’t you, won’t you please…
Reach out a wing
Reach out a wing
Reach – out- your- wing
AFTER… a poem
Subsequent to dying
I took a little tour
And discovered
All that I’d missed
And just a little more
The beauty within colors
That paint the morning sky
A field of flowers
All in bloom
Upon a mountainside
Precious little children
So dependent
And so sweet
Coo and smile
All the while
They play at momma’s feet
Fish within the ocean
Varieties – every kind
Birds so small
I’d have missed them all
If I hadn’t died
Creatures hiding in the bush
Some up in the trees
If only I had seen them
Before I sprouted wings
And while you do not hear me
My words are in the wind
Always say I love you
For we all come to an end
TO YOU AND YOUR GIFT… a Christian song
Slipping through crevices and cracks in my life
How do I make one more day
Rolling with punches
While holding on tight
It’s time I kneel down and pray
~~~
Father, won’t you help me
I’ve fallen again
Somehow, I veered off the road
To wrestle with judgement
And all – to what end
It’s not how to live – So, I’m told
Forgive me, again, as the web that I weave
Takes me further and further off-pace
In this prayer I lift
To You and Your Gift
Knowing, I’m not alone in this race
~~~
Failing at marriage
And failing with friends
Perhaps this old mirror
Is lying again
Taking me down
The old devil’s at hand
Arresting my virtue
Destroying this man
~~~
But, I have a weapon
And Satan’s aware
Though trying to con-fuse my way
Forgiveness and loving
Without this despair
Will set this road again – straight
~~~
Father, won’t you help me
I’ve fallen again
Somehow, I veered off the road
To wrestle with judgement
And all – to what end
It’s not how to live – So, I’m told
Forgive me, again, as the web that I weave
Takes me further and further off-pace
In this prayer I lift
To You and Your Gift
Knowing, I’m not alone in this race
In this prayer I lift
To You and Your Gift
Knowing, I’m not alone in this race
PEACE AND SERENITY… a poem of faith
When I buy the farm
I don’t want to barter
No wrangling around
Or worse, a non-starter
I just hope to go
And join those before me
Hang out with my dad
And Jesus, he knows me
See uncles and aunts
Grandparents and cousins
Meet all the relatives
Angel’s wings buzzin’
And big fluffy clouds
All under my feet
Smiles all around
Yeah, what a retreat
One that will last
From now to infinity
Yes, that’s what I want
Peace and serenity
THE LAND OF MAJESTY… a poem
Come little children
Come with me
To the land of majesty
Moonlit nights and stars above
Sunshine days
All filled with love
Come little children
Come with me
To the land of majesty
Mountain tops
And rainbow highs
Where gentle winds
Sing lullaby’s
Babbling brooks
That tell the tales
Of tiny hero’s riding snails
Where all the days
Are filled with smiles
And flowers bloom
For miles and miles
Come little children
Come with me
To the land of majesty
Heaven’s gates are opened wide
And all our lives
Are justified
Devotion…
Basking in the Glory of God!
What more can be said?
