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
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
Basking in the Glory of God!
What more can be said?
The weight we carry
In the belly
In the thighs
Cannot hide the weight we carry
Deep, deep down inside
…………………………
Perhaps, there on the outside
They say, “You’re looking tight!”
If they only knew
What’s on your heart
They might hold you through the night
……………………………
But, lest it be forgotten
There is One who carried more
He will stem the tide
On this difficult ride
And shoulder the weight that you once bore
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
