NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST

Not all who wander are lost:

Some obey because they trust,

Not all who wander are lost,

Not all who wander are lost.

I saw these words on a book,

Its pages I thought to look,

Alas, it was an empty book,

But its title was a flowing brook.

Not all who wander are lost:

Some obey because they trust,

Not all who wander are lost,

Not all who wander are lost.

Some walk in circles to clear their mind,

Some take a stroll out' their empty life,

Some prefer the desert to a nagging spouse,

Some, some pearls they hope to find.

Not all who wander are lost:

Some obey because they trust,

Not all who wander are lost,

Not all who wander are lost.

Abraham of faith, he was a wanderer,

He relied on God, he was a truster,

Not knowing destination, he wandered,

But wasn't lost, no, wasn't flustered.

Not all who wander are lost,

Some obey because they trust,

Not all who wander are lost.

It was a crime to see that empty book,

With words to fill many books:

Not all who wander are lost,

It calls to me, I must!

Not all who wander are lost,

Some obey because they trust,

Not all who wander are lost,

Not all who wander are lost...

I saw the title Not All Who Wander Are Lost on a little hand-made booklet during creative writing and publishing class, but no words were in it. I thought it was a travesty that such beautiful words had nothing in it, but the title stayed with me. I went home, and here's the result.

ICE BREAKER

I'm thinking of our talks with a smile, Although sometimes I'm scared that I cross the line, But you always reassure me that it's fine, Like a fish, I'm always testing the line, Pushing boundaries because you allow, Humorous are you, and mighty kind Talking with you through tough times, I'm sure this relation is God's hand. You've been of help to me, I said I know you'll want to protest— But I'm smiling at a word you said, Far long after it had been said. I cherish the lovely moments we talk; Always waiting to hear from you, Sometimes I'm scared I bother you, But I can't seem to help myself. I wanted to write something happy, But happiness is serious business, And from everyone else You are a little different. But keep the love, keep the purity, When we vibe, there's no insecurity Like one mind, at ease in unity, You're greatly blessed, until infinity! This was supposed to be light, but it's so serious! Shine brightly, dearest Sir...
