Let us return to the love we have known To a time when passion was felt and shown In gracious words and gestures of love By patience and insight given by God
We will again discover the truth Of just what did bring us love in our youth To walk again in the intimacy of love To share the excitement of how we were touched
No need for sorrow, no need for regret Our life has produced an abundance of faith And in the discovery of the passion of days Again we discover the reason we stay
Let us return and again be born In the love we once knew, and by experience learn Our love is passionate and has no shame We share what we knew, it is intimacy we claim

The Rose of Sharon
Where my beloved shall I find you hid? Perhaps in the way by the ocean Far from confusion, toil and sin
Where my beloved Shall we share passions light? In the cover of our open heart To be each others delight
Where my beloved Shall the gloom of night cease? In the light of eternal presence On the day of eternal peace
Where my beloved Shall the Rose of Sharon grow? In the heart of the warrior In the heart full of scarlet snow
For my most beloved, Karen From: Gary your true defense she is my wife, we love each other!
Thanks for the wink, I looked into your profile and am impressed. I am a christian i hope that doesn't offend you. I do not have any real hard rules about what is right or wrong only to obey what the Spirit of God relates thru prayer and the Scriptures. I cannot hold others responsible for how the Holy Spirit deals with me. sometimes he takes me to the wood shed and that's when most of my "education" occurs, he takes me quite often! God bless him! any way I wrote this poem for a friend if here in town. i hope you like ti also.

Living in the world has reduced the array of choice and at the same time declare that there is freedom in pursuing our own fulfillment? How can we know the limits of us and be so foolish to embrace the constricts of our office in this day and age. Our freedom is not found in our self but in the infinite God we claim to reverence? and if this is true why do we begrudge the grace we have available to us in obedience? must we only seek grace in our indignation? There will be a cost upon us who have mocked God according to judgement given in scripture. To the Christian first as also to the unbeliever? Embrace the freedom in an infinite God that through obedience to the instructions of his Grace we be found without violation of a contived nature, let us not give license to sin, but plan and think on those things He would have us recieve, truth, love, peace, kindness, grace, and the joy that fulfilling these things brings.

As love is sown a subtle seed A gift of grace, a holy need We will care; for the blade and feed With tender words and righteous deeds This fruitful tree
Our God has given us to love By truth and grace and incorruptible trust Because our will is not sought Our love is pure: by Spirit taught
Day by day we look to Him For ways our love can serve and live We find each other as servants of truth Our love for one another by God is renewed
We turn away from temptation and sin We reject the flesh as love?s origin We listen for truth found in our love We know it is God who has sown this in us
These days of life are eternal in love We share this eternity with the children of God As children we receive each other in truth As brethren our love remains fresh and new
Rendezvous ,There were two men on the highway outside the village. As they faced each other it was evident that one of them was having difficulty making his way. The other could see it and as he approached he asked the man what brought him here. He answered,I came to find the healer and prophet who could restore my sight.In the village where I come from we have heard of the miracles and wisdom of this rabbi for more than three years.I have been searching for him for 6 months;can you tell me where I can find him?These words came as a shock and the other man told him,I know of whom you speak,he was executed by the Romans about a year ago,His disciples are still in the city if you think they can help.The blind man said,I have no place left to go, if you would take me to His disciples.Before I do tell me what you know about the master?The blind man answered,I have only heard wonderful things about Him,miracles he has performed,that he won't turn away any who seek his help.I was told that he makes a show of the Pharisees and their hypocrisy by catching them in their own words.Why would the Romans want him dead?He came to bring life and truth.Those already here whose job it was to prepare for him where slack in their duty.So,they created a lie that was troubling to the Romans and compelled them to kill him.But these are not sad words for He lives and I myself have seen him with the disciples after his execution.He came to take away our fear and to strengthen us for our future work.So,you are one of his disciples?I am lost,the master is gone.The disciple said?Faith heals,have you the faith to be healed??The blind answered,?Yes.??Then receive your sight,?At that moment the blind man received his sight.As he was looking at the disciple he saw a man standing behind him, he asked, ?who is that standing behind you??Spinning around the figure disappeared, the two men where again alone but they both knew who it was, they then proceeded to the city where the miracle was reported.
Let us share because we care, Let us live in truth, as each day comes and goes in peace and so joy we choose Now all we say and do will be recieved by you and me and all who care to be a friend in peace with loves release By all God holds As truth.

Proverbs/Wisdom
Love is fulfilled in the joy of others Time well spent is spent well loved Investments of love increases our days Love does not worry, but is confident in truth Worry is the tool fear employs to corrupt truth Sharing concerns reveals the truth of your love Disappointment blinds the heart to understanding It is more difficult to receive honor than to give it Honor is given to fill the heart that is poured out Grace is love in action Faith is the work of believing in truth Our gifts are the measure of our love Friendship is a gift of love Truth spoken gently is received with grace Truth spoken harshly creates animosity Confusion will reveal the fear of rejection An answer in love can reveal the truth Expect the best of yourself and your friends will give their best Forgiveness will soothe the pain of consequences Joy is the peace of understanding Seek love by expressing it Find truth by living in it Receive grace in humility, and mercy will bring peace Love comforts pain and heals wounds Love increases joy by revealing truth
As Jesus and the disciple?s continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a village where a woman named Martha welcomed them into their home. Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord?s feet, listening to what he taught. But Martha was worrying over the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, ?Lord, doesn?t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help.? But, the Lord said to her, ?My dear Martha, you are so upset over all these details! There is really only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it?and I won?t take it away from her.? Upon hearing this Martha bowed her head in shame and confessed, ?Forgive me Lord, for my selfishness.? When she said this Jesus loved her in the Spirit of Truth and Compassion and said, ?You have not sinned neither was there malice in your words be not ashamed, only tell me how I may help you.? When Martha heard this reply she was filled with the Spirit of Joy, and received the love Jesus had shared with her. She then mentioned what was needed to be done and Jesus began to help in the preparations. Mary and the others wondered what had happened to Jesus so she went into the kitchen area to see if he where there. Seeing him working with her sister she turned to the others and said, ?Here he is, helping Martha.? Immediately they all began in the preparations and as they worked Jesus taught them about fellowship and service to one another, as the lesson ended the meal was complete they all then sat and ate supper.
