BLESSINGS BEYOND WORDS

Everything is good

Not everything is bad

Each time I look back

I couldn't be more glad

With each passing step

I see the need to connect

To stay in touch

Remain as one with the Source

Things I tried out

They worked out for me

Advised others the same

Can't say it worked out the same

Not to say I didn't face failure

Or had things go a different way

Than planned. But looking back

I couldn't be more proud

I look around

And see the world around me

I ask about my counterparts

Where is your sense of adventure?

Not to say they tried their way

And it didn't work their way

Or that I was right

And they were wrong

Maybe it's because I

Have age on my side

And time against me

That I could afford to be

Able to leave everything behind

And never my steps rewind

Everyone talks about the money

But to me, it was kind of funny

How like I had no roots

I couldn't not leave behind

But always I ask myself

Where is their sense of adventure?

Perfect chance

Perfect timing

For long, the road, I

Had been pining

I met promises along the way

And deception along in its wake

I came to appreciate more

The things I gained along the way

A blessing

From out the blue

An environment

With warmth beyond words

I returned home

With the blessings of a million

Older,

Perhaps, even wiser..

Not to say

There's no situation,

Or person

That God can't use for you

Or to think

Because it worked for us

It definitely has to be our way!

But I'm grateful for my way

Yet each time it comes up

I think about their days

I think and ponder

Where's that sense of adventure?

Yet, of course, I wonder

What could have been

If we all decided

To take the plunge..

I realised, then

That our decisions

Were driven

By two things

What to gain

Or what we could lose

For me,

I just wanted to be free

Leave it all behind

And see where the wind leads me

Perhaps I was selfish

But it all aligned perfectly

I think perhaps

God honours our wishes

Works within his means

To make us happy

Like the choices are before us

And the magnitude of the harvest

And one way or the other

We are all his children after all...

But I can say for a fact

That I had no regrets

For God was kind enough

With His manifold blessings...

HAVEN'T FOUND THE ANSWER YET

I searched the four corners of the wind I listened hard, I heard the birds sing I saw them take to flight and fly free I saw power in their wholesome wings I went deep down the ocean depths The primordial power of the earth I felt Was ever so majestic the deeper I went Words fail to capture the essence I climbed the mountains of the highest peaks Caught the sunrise on the tallest trees Saw so much beauty that I couldn't breathe Saw greatness that made my heart to freeze In high spirits, but my energy spent Still seeking answers, but I couldn't make a dent I searched the secrets of the seven seas I was put to bed by the gentle breeze It doesn't matter if I spend my last cent These answers are worth more per every cent Yet on my strength I can't depend To the grace of God, I must defer For in the fire, I found no answer In the earthquake, I heard no response In the thunder, there was no reply But in the g...
