WHERE DID THEY GO?
(My Friends)

 
I close my eyes and wonder

"Where are the Friends I knew?"

The Friends I made along the way

that numbered quite a few

 

The neighbor kids and classmates

back in my "grow-up" years

The fun we had with laughter

And sharing those "learning" tears

 

The Family friends I gathered

with my spouse and children too

The Friends we cared and shared with

Living life as our families grew

 

I open up my weary eyes

and search for the Friends I love

Seems fate has knocked on many doors

and most are "Home" above

 

I’m thankful for the memories

for not many Friends will call

But in my heart they linger

And I remember "One and all"

Does God like Colored Eggs?

 

I've got a little question
and I have to know just why
We celebrate on Easter
by dipping eggs in dye

Easter is a time to pray
remembering the Lord above
So why the Easter Bunnies
and colored eggs, My Love

I'm searching for the answer
cause it don't make sense to me
Does God have little Bunnies
and colored eggs for "He"?

If this is God's great passion
then what will be - will be
I'll put some dye in water
and color some eggs for me!

The Purpose of Leaves

What? I always wondered
was the purpose for leaves to fall
Didn't have an inkling
they were there for one and all
 
If swept into a pile
to create a mound or hump
You could take a running start
and land softly from a jump
 
Seems everything has a purpose
Nothings there for naught
God creates the strangest things
for you to use with thought
 
Now when leaves come falling
Colorful in the sun
Don't picture them as one big chore
Just think - they're there for fun

The Roads of Life

The Lord did us a favor
No map for the road we take
Experience our learned teacher
The future ours to make

He didn't make life easy
Prepare us well ahead
He gave us roads to travel
But no road signs to be read

Our trials and tribulations
Engrained within our hearts
As we travel down life's highways
Right from the very start

Can't balme him for our errors
Can't blame him for our woes
We picked the roads we traveled
And our decision is what shows

"I'll be thinking of you'
 

 
Yesterday was quite a day
built memories to last
But it also had a downside
the hours went too fast
 
Today is filled with doing
more memories to build
Just can't add another thing
seems all my time is filled
 
Tomorrow though is different
no plans of things to do
So I'll sit and reminisce alot
with the thoughts I have of you
