Seems life has been a timeless one
So full of gladness, joy and fun
Along the way there’s been some pain
T’was part of lifetime’s growth and gain
Oft I’ve wondered what it’s about
If I should laugh or cry or shout
It is a choice that we’ve all made
With circumstance let’s pray won’t fade
Now here we are at this road’s end
At last with God who’s our good friend !
If I were high up in the sky
What is it that my eyes would spy
Lots of rooftops affording space
To pigeons, gulls, all birds apace
With other havens to be found
Where they are safer than on ground.
I am so glad to be alive
And able to help birds survive
Supplying all those old stale buns,
Kitchen scraps along with bread crumbs
Tis how it is I’m known to be
Bird feeder and their good fairy !
Oh how I’ve wished I had a friend
Who’d bide with me until the end
Or take the time to sup with me
Share coffee, tea and company.
How sure am I God’s always there
Anxious to learn He’ll constant care
No matter what the issue is,
Because I am forever His ?
I promise that I never will
Betray His trust or doubt His skill
He is the Master I adore
The Friend that I’ve been waiting for !
Well my dear, I saw an old friend today
With her soft pink skin and her hair of gray
Her eyes so clear framed by those gentle curls
She must have been the prettiest of girls.
As we sat there together I could see
That she struggled hard to remember me
She was a stranger that I knew so well
There’s no point to the oldtime tales retell.
I’m sorry that my dear friend has moved on
But I’ll visit again ere we’re both gone !
TO ROSA, GOD BLESS !
I have browsed through many a page of time
And wandered lost in the vast world of rhyme
I’ve traveled alone or in company
From ocean to ocean and sea to sea
And all that I’ve learned and all that I know
God walks beside me wherever I go !
AMEN.
I love You Lord, that’s without end
Because You are my bestest Friend
Through thick and thin, You’re on my side
To You alone I can confide.
I need to laugh and bide with joy
You’ve helped me Lord my faith employ
Whatever You will ask of me
So quickly Lord, I do agree.
And if dear Lord we never meet
The thought of You is still as sweet
Whatever else that You may choose
I’m confident, I cannot lose !
When I was young I used to pray
“Please help me Lord, show me the way ”
And then as I began to age
My life soon turned another page.
I spoke to God quite frequently
It seemed we shared true empathy
At least that is what I believed
And do not think I was deceived.
Now that I’m old I understand
Our God is always close at hand
He is our comfort and great friend
Remaining so until the end !
I’ve traveled on life’s byways with stops along the way
And traversed many highways before the end of day
I’ve wandered far too long searching for the rainbow’s end
While asking God to help me to find my lifelong friend.
I lost my pal not long ago, I wish she were here
So I could say I miss her and why she was so dear
Perhaps time will tell if we shall ever meet again
But I’m not worried yet cause I still remember when !
I look outside, what do I see
A darkened sky that threatens me
An empty street that’s void of life
No sign of commerce, trade or strife.
I’m grateful for my quiet space
Right now I need a resting place
When will all of this chaos end
I sure could use a real good friend !
I have wandered lost near my journey’s end
In the search to find my forever friend
And as time has passed I am sure that I
Have met many that were but passing by.
There is one I’ll miss to my final day
Aft the angels came and took her away
Twas my true buddy, my mom and my friend
All her love bides with me until my end !
