Two poems from 2006…

ROADS

ALL MY ROADS THEY LEAD TO SUNSHINE
THOUGH I MAY SOMETIMES FEEL PAIN
ITS BECAUSE I’M ON MY JOURNEY
A WALK THROUGH LIFE AGAIN
SO MANY GIFTS ARE MISSING
BECAUSE I DID NOT SEE
THE MAGIC ALL AROUND ME
THAT’S GIVEN HERE FOR FREE
I CHASED AND DREAMED ILLUSIONS
OF THINGS I DID NOT NEED
BUT AT LAST I HEAR THE MUSIC
MY LIFE PATH I DO HEED
FOR MY ROADS THEY LEAD TO SUNSHINE
FOR SURELY YOU CAN SEE
THAT I’M A BETTER PERSON
THAN ONCE I USED TO BE

GATHER ME IN

GATHER ME INTO
YOUR LOVING ARMS
PLEASE ROCK ME GENTLY
WITH ALL OF YOUR CHARMS
HOLD ME SO TIGHTLY
THAT I’M SAFE AND SOUND
LIFT UP MY SOUL
TIL I’M ON FIRM GROUND
HELP ME TO DANCE
IN LIFE FULL AND FREE
THAT I MAY REIGN FOREVER
IN THE GLORY THEE
