The Bridge

Across a hundred sunsets
Beyond your wildest dreams
A bridge awaits your footsteps
To places you've not seen

You've sensed it in the midnight
In starlight's silvery glow
The soft touch of a memory
From very long ago

A distant song caresses
A heart so full of sighs
The weight of all your sorrow
Is lifted for a while

The crickets keep the rhythm
A gentle thought remains
Your innocence remembers
A time before the pain

Keep faith and you will see it
This place at journey's end
A paradise He's made for you
You'll cross that bridge with Him

Little children were brought to Him that He might put His hands on them and pray. —Matthew 19:13


If we but take the time to pray,
And seek God's guidance every day,
He'll give us strength and wisdom too,
To help our child grow strong and true.  Garka

Every child needs a praying parent.

CROSSING BRIDGES

I walked this road in dreams of youth
some were lost and some were truth
some took wings and flew away
and some are where I am today
the road is long so full of miles
with changing people changing styles
and all those people pass me by
without an answer, no reply
there were regrets but then I knew
that roads get crooked change the view
and burning bridges were left behind
crossing ridges in my mind
then one day when youth was lost
I found another bridge to cross
you came along gave me a ride
and loved me on the other side.

Forever Friend

Sometimes in life, you find a special friend; Someone who changes your life by being a part of it; Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop;

Someone who makes you believe that there is really good in this world; Someone who convinces you that there is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is Forever Friendship.

When you're down, and the world seems dark and empty, your Forever Friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full.

Your Forever Friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times, and the confused times.

If you turn and walk away your Forever Friend follows.

If you lose your way, your Forever Friend guides you and cheers you on.

Your Forever Friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be a-okay. And when you find such a Friend, you'll feel happy and complete, because you need not worry. You Have A "Forever Friend" For Life And Forever Has No End.

Copyright ©1994 Laurieann Kelly

You're my Forever Friend.... That means "FOREVER" and a "DAY".

Evening everyone.

God's Treasure Box

We're jewels in His treasure box
The salt upon the earth
Created in His Image
All having equal worth

There's yellow and red
black and white
Like stars in the heavens
All shinning and bright

Whether Onyx or Topaz
Ruby or Pearl
Each one is a treasure
Man, Woman, Boy or Girl

Separation of the colors
Has made the world grow dim
Hatred, war and violence
Is not pleasing to Him

Let's put an Onyx with a Topaz
And a Ruby by a Pearl
Holding hands, we'll start the circle
That goes around the world

-- Yolanda Cohen
