Is it Any Wonder?

Is it any wonder that you are just who you are?

Is it any wonder that you’ve only come this far?

Is it any wonder why you live just where you live?

Is it any wonder why you give just what you give?

Is it any wonder why you like the things you like?

Is it any wonder why your psych became your psych?

Is it any wonder why you do the things you do?

Is it any wonder that you haven’t got a clue?

Is it any wonder why you say the things you say?

Is it any wonder why your life turned out this way?

Is it any wonder that your life turned out to be

a blend of all you chose with what you didn’t foresee.

Isn’t it amazing when you ponder all of this?

Perhaps your own decisions may determine what you miss.

Why Not Move Along in Your Journey?

Just Move On

Do you dwell on disappointments while playing in the snow?

Do you fixate on the places to which you cannot go?

 

Do you see yourself forsaken when looking in the mirror?

Do you view your life from far away instead of drawing nearer?

 

Do you see your own reflection but don’t like what you see?

Do you rue what might have been if you hadn’t climbed that tree?

 

Do you wonder who you were before you fell so hard?

Do you always feel you're broken, but can't find any shard?

 

Do you fix your mind on sadness, and mostly feel just pain?

Do you grieve for all you’ve lost while walking in the rain?

 

Do you think you made a big mistake and wonder why you failed?

Would you want to live life over if your coffin wasn’t nailed?

 

Can you think of nothing better than to sleep away your gloom?

Do you wonder where you’re going, but feel locked inside a tomb?

 

If you could re-think your choices and start your life anew,

what changes would you choose to make before your life is through?

 

Why not put out all your effort to find the hidden key?

Why not leave the door wide open and set the captive free?

 

It’s time to start to live again and leave what’s bad behind,

for all that is required of you is just a change of mind.

 

So why not choose new happiness to face a brand new day?

Grab a new smile for your journey and move along your way.

Soul Satisfaction

The soul finds its fullest contentment

in life’s most startling hue;

when the glorious love of Jesus

is living inside of you!

 

It will not be seen through cloudless skies

in various shades of blue;

nor will it be seen in grassy green,

with sparkle of morning dew.

 

It isn’t found in crystal clear drops

as life-giving rain pours through,

nor in the pallet of the rainbow,

though all it’s colors seem new.

 

It wasn’t found in gathering clouds

being whipped by winds that blew;

nor was it found in the stormy skies

when silvery lightning flew.

It wasn’t felt in the pouring rain

as the gray clouds filtered through;

nor was it felt in the dampened air,

of the misty fog it drew. 

 

It couldn’t be seen in the sunshine,

as it’s blinding brilliance grew;

nor could it be seen in the sunset,

with it’s rosy, golden hue.

 

It isn’t found in fading twilight,

as twinkling stars come in view;

nor is it found in the moonlight’s glow,

giving light all the night through.

 

No, the soul finds small satisfaction

in things that please only you,

for the things we like change too often;

we always want something new.

But, the soul that finally finds Jesus,

finds a friend that’s tried and true;

and the soul that is filled with Jesus

finds that He makes all things new.
