 Follow me down to the river

 On a bright, clear summer day.

We’ll search for minnows by the river bank

And take the time to play.

 

Follow me out to the meadow

Where the wild flowers grow.

We’ll stop and smell all the flowers

And dance as the wind blows.

 

Follow me down to the sea,

And we’ll walk in the drifting tide.

We’ll pick up sea shells on the shore

And open our arms wide.

 

Follow me down the road of life

And give me a helping hand.

When the road seems long and hard,

Just tell me you’ll understand.

 

For life is always a mixture

Of joy as well as sorrow,

And while today may be full of loss,

There is always the hope of tomorrow.

Let us give thanks for being alive
And having the courage to survive.
Let us be thankful for good friends
And family on whom we can depend.
Thank You God, for our daily bread,
And the wonderful books we have read.
Let us give thanks to God on high
For the birds that sing as they fly.
                                                                                        
Forgive us God when we fail to see
Your gifts to us can set us free.
For even in loss, when all is gone,
God gives us hope with each new dawn.
When we are lost  in the darkest night,
The moon and stars bring us home with light.
And when death comes and  life is done,
God gives us Life through His only Son.

Life is a roller coaster.


It’s full of ups and downs.


Just when we think we have control,


We are thrown out to the ground.


We try to hold on to time with a list


And keep to a schedule or two,


But just as we think we are almost done,


We are hindered in what we can do.


We go through life with our beliefs


And are sure we know what is real.


But betrayal can cause so much harm,


We’re consumed by the sorrow we feel.


We live our lives based on trust


And it gets us through the week.


But when things go wrong as they often do,


We learn we have to be meek.


It’s a hard virtue for us to learn


And it takes time to grow.


We can find peace as we go through life


If we learn to “Go with the flow.”

Red and gold are colors of Autumn:
A time when life is in its prime,
And death is but a certainty
When leaves fall and squirrels climb.

They search  for food to survive the winter
And gather seeds to put in the ground.
They seem to remember where they are buried
And are relieved when they are found.

The cold wind blows and bends the branches
Of trees that are thin and stand so tall.
They seek to be quite resilient
So none of their branches break and fall.

The  seasons in life for a human being
Are like the seasons of nature too.
There is a time  for growth and existing,
And a time for one's dreams to come true.

Old age comes when the body is weaker,
And losses occur year after year.
The wise man seeks to be resilient
And knows that death is drawing near.

For nature and man have the hope  of renewal,
To live again and to have some worth.
Man seeks to make, for others, a difference,
And trees leave their seeds to grow in the earth.
