Back Home

 Back Home

This body is not me

it's just a tent to live in

on the earth.

I did not want to come here

but I was sent from heaven

By way of birth.

Do you not know

how hard it was

to leave that golden shore?

Where love is breathed

in the very air

and joy forevermore?

My spirit dwelled there

with the King

the maker of all things

Who taught the angels

how to fly

and all the birds to sing.

I didn't want

to come here

I begged to let me stay

But I was pushed 

out of the nest

in love, sent on my way.

For there's a job

that only I

can, for my Master, do

And there's a mighty calling, too

for you

and you, and you.

We can not ask

the potter why

He has made us thus

We are creations

of His design

and we must learn to trust.

And though we'll often

fail and fail

the training of this life

A crown will one day

be given us

for enduring all this strife.

And all the bad

will fall away

and all the good be measured

Each sacrifice

and obedience

each loss of things we treasured.

The souls of friends

we brought to Him

hard hearts pulled from the fire

The lost and lonely

little ones

rescued from worldly mire.

But none of that

will we think of 

when we hear Him bid us come

We'll only see

His shining face

as He welcomes us back home.

FALLING my birthday poem,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Dec 30th.

Falling

I fell in love the day I was born

Like Elvis said "one frosty morn"

A winter's day nigh the New Year

And cried to find myself dropped here

From clouds of Glory, to Earth I came

To earthly parents and earthly name

I came from Heaven to find a place

And all my memory of there, replaced

I grew to find myself misfit

And full of wisdom, woe and wit

Feeling never at home on this round rock

And searching ever, it never stopped

Falling in love in the abyss of a heart

Reading the end of the story before the story would start

Looking for answers in the eyes of a stranger

Trusting in fools and dealing with danger

Falling and falling and falling, I fell

Falling from Heaven and falling through Hell

Loving the unseen and hoping somehow

I've fallen forever and I'm still falling now.

You Are So beautiful To Me

 

Where Could I Go?

Where Could I Go?

Without you in my dream-filled arms

Down where the hopeful meet

I'd never know what love looks like

Or how it tastes so sweet.

Without you running down that road

In misty morning air

I'd never see the sun light rise

Like halos in your hair.

I'd never hear the song bird's song

And the joy that shines in eyes

I'd never know the ring of truth

That separates the lies.

I could not know the touch of bliss

That visits at that gate

Could only long for a tender kiss

To come and change my fate.

But there you are, and there you stand

With arms out-stretched to me

And there I run in breathless haste

To where you'll always be.

In dreams, as perfect as a rose

In sleep, where dreams come true

In midnight lands where dreamers flee,

I flee, and search for you.

For in this world, you do not dwell

On east or western shore

Your spirit passed this way but once

And caught my eyes no more.

Yet every night I hear your call

Your voice so low and deep

You say my name and I awake

There in the realm of sleep.

And hand in hand, we run and run

From daybreak's heartless sorrow

To find the night that has no end

That always comes tomorrow.

Where could I go but to my dreams?

No love waits at the dawn

My life's a lonely, loveless thing

Since you've grown wings and flown.

Where could I go? Where could I find

The love I miss so much

There in the green fields of the heart

Mere deserts, without your touch?

Perhaps one day I will come to you

Though I don't know if that will be

Till then, I'll run through these days to night

When you can come to me.
