Windy Life

The breeze carries me on

Farther than I can gone before.

Once I think it is done

If carries me farther on. 

I fly around in circles

Of straight up into the sky.

I have seen so much of the world

From the help of this gentle guide.

Maturity

There are some people in this world

That think they have matured.


Wile there are others that don't

Know what it means to be.


The truth is that some 

never stop maturing

while others never start.

From Boat to What

The boat made us able to 

go see across the river. 


The train made us able to 

go see across the next town.


The plane made us able to 

go see across the ocean. 


The car made us able to 

go see the next state.


The shuttle made us able to 

go see across the sky


What will we use to go see next?

Midnight Picnic

We went to go take a picnic

on the fourth of July.


It took us to long to get ready

it was soon midnight. 


I could see her face glisten

in the moon light.


Her beauty did not compare

to all I saw that night. 


All the stars, the moon &

Fireworks were but all a glimmer. 


We sat there with our candles looking at our life.

Needs & Wants

I've been told that I have

all that I need & want.


But I know there is something 

out there I would

trade it all for.


I've spent my life looking 

and still have not found it.


But I keep on going

Knowing it is out there.


After a life time of 

Searching, Jesus is all 

I need & want.
