What
is a man to do?
When
I feel that life is through –
Like
the winds in the willows
As
I lie here gripping my pillow,
But
I know I’m getting older,
And
life gets harder to shoulder!
The
world keeps turning,
And
this heart keeps on yearning
It
all comes down to time,
And
I know it’s all by design –
There
are still some good days,
And
a few just slip away. . .
What
is a man to do?
When
my heart longs for you!

The
beams touch the mountain crest,
And
the night can no longer rest –
The
light appears to start the day,
And
the dew drops dry as if they say:
“I
can feel your warmth of your touch,
And
I have needed you so much!”
Have
you thought of God’s perfect plan,
And
what He wants us to understand?
Everything
has been set in place –
And
His love for our human race!
There’s
so much we take for granted –
Like
all the plants that He has planted!
I
marvel at the quietness of a sunrise
God’s
beauty unfolding before my eyes.

When
I’m lying in a box of pine –
What
thoughts will come to your mind?
Will
you think of the times I held you close
Or
what will you remember the most?
We
always knew this time would come –
So,
please remember all the fun
We
had, and don’t worry about me . . .
Just
know it’s in heaven I will be!
This
old world was never my home
I’m
glad it didn’t travel this journey alone!
When
I’m lying in a box of pine –
I’ll
live where the sun will always shine –
This
life will surely come to an end,
But
God promises that eternity will begin!

In
the stillness
I
long for your touch –
As
the sheets linger
I
need you so much!
The
dawn lies in waiting
The
clock strikes four
In
the quietness
Always
needed more –
My
heart is pounding
Passion
grips my soul,
In
the stillness
Things
I need to know!
O
this hunger –
Of
things that were!

Always
with my back against the wind
Sometimes
I feel defeated before I begin –
Life
can be like a minefield . . .
Fighting
a world that is unwilling to yield!
We
all need someone else to blame!
The
problem is – it all looks the same –
I
rise in the morning to start my day,
Then
I think, “Dear Lord, I need to pray!”
Life
is not the way it used to be . . .
Evil
lingers in the darkness I never see!
But
onward I trod through life’s maze
Enduring
the storms that often stays –
Always
with my back against the wind
Hoping
that someday this will all end!

I
woke up this morning
It
was a restless night –
Me
and the Devil always fight!
My
faith he will somehow test,
I
guess he thinks I will forget,
But
I know I’m still blessed!
Mistakes
I’ve made – that I regret!
But
I know that my Lord is real,
And
I’m going to live until
It’s
time for me to go home –
The
Lord forgave me for my wrong,
But
the Devil will test one’s will!
Focus
on the Lord and he will flee,
That’s
the only way he’ll let me be!

February
hangs on for life,
But
March awaits in the wing –
The
Robin is ready to sing
As
the cold still creates strife!
I
admit – I’m not a winter fan
I
am in love with spring!
All
will come to life, everything!
It’s
about God’s perfect plan!
O
I love to see a rose unfold,
As
the Tulip’s sway in the wind,
And
this is where it all begins –
Bring
its sweetness to my soul!
February
hangs on for life,
But
spring takes away the strife!
