Windy Life
The breeze carries me on
Farther than I can gone before.

If carries me farther on.

Of straight up into the sky.

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.
