“I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.”
Robert Frost
"Don't let weakness stop you from doing what is right" Duana
"love is an attempt at penetrating another being, but it can only succeed if the surrender is mutual":
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
It goes beyond the highest star,
And reaches to the lowest hell;
The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
And pardoned from his sin.
O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure
The saints’ and angels’ song.
When years of time shall pass away,
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
When men, who here refuse to pray,
On rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
All measureless and strong;
Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—
The saints’ and angels’ song.
Could we with ink the ocean fill,
And were the skies of parchment made,
Were every stalk on earth a quill,
And every man a scribe by trade,
To write the love of God above,
Would drain the ocean dry.
Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
Though stretched from sky to sky.
Frederick M. Lehman, 1917
Because He Lives
I Can Face Tomorrow
Because He Lives
All Fear Is Gone
Because I Know He Holds The Future
And Life Is Worth The Living
Just Because He Lives
How Sweet To Hold our Newborn Baby,
And Feel The Pride And Joy He Gives;
But Greater Still The Calm Assurance:
We can Face Uncertain Day Because He Lives
And Then One Day I'll Cross The River;
I'll Fight Life's Final War With Pain.
And Then, As Death Gives Way To Vict'ry,
I'll See The Lights Of Glory And I'll Know He Reigns.

JenP : Duana!! on October 8, 2008I know, I've been gone forever. I just get so caught up in life sometimes. It's one of those things you know. I finally had some time, though. I was thinking, where have I not gone in a long time? Lol. I've missed it. I never have time for anything anymore, let alone writing. I'm gong to try to change that. Really gonna try. I've missed you! Hope you've been well!
