AMONG THE LIVING

Riding dirt paths
Turning on the rocks of plenty
Potholes and pitfalls
Seem to await us all
Who dare to take the journey

Don't give up or get discouraged
Challenges bring the change
Take it as it comes
You will be glad you
Did not limit yourself...

Breathe in, drink some water
Feel the cold wind
Take the trail and ride
Do not be afraid of the unknown
Discover, explore, and thrive.

Freely giving and receieving
Thanking God for being
In good and bad times
For the opportunities to do
and say and think and be among the living.

LOOK UP

Tromping through the mud
One foot in front of the other
Snow falling, wind blowing
Look up
You are on a journey
Spending a season of life with others
What are you hearing, what are you saying?
Look up
Climbing rocks, hanging on a line
Many are watching to see
Your reaction, your response this time
Look up
And this is me falling, crawling, walking
Running as fast as I can
Waiting to meet with you
Looking up
