Such A Welcome

There on a beach of pure white sand and gentle rolling surf

Stood Jesus

He told me He had been waiting for a long time

It was me and Him

Alone with the Savior

We spent time looking over the ocean

The questions I always had did not seem to matter

One look and I knew my faith had carried me through

There was no time now just eternity

He said there are others who want to see you

And I knew

All the troubles all the pain

Was now gone

I could run and He ran beside

Laughing too,His smile,His smile

It was my beginning

And days are now amazing

Filled with Joy forevermore

To Fly

Long ago a dream of flying

Across the street and up

Farther then and higher

Wonder of my life to be

So high I can see souls

Winging the way to Heaven

Knowing I will meet them

Thoughts far away tonight

Safe and still secure

My Lord calls me home

And I am ready now

The Years Are Rolling By Me

Cameras flash,babies cry
Small fry get lost in another room
Moms cooking,boys eating
Me watching,laughing
sore,happy,tired
Girls are talking
Gone shopping,again
These are the days
of my life
They are the best of
all my days
Thank You God

So Many Times

So many times I meant to call.
At last when I knew you gone
I dialed the number knowing
You would be off somewhere
Far away,gone at last
So I did the deed again
Hoping you would be there
But then again not Hoping

A Prayer said hasitly
just for you when you
said you needed it most
A life of misgivings
So many times I meant to 2-11-08

The Picture of Dorian Gray

My parents once had in their custody a foster child baby boy.
My parents called him Jimmy.
The mother of this baby actually named the baby Dorian Gray,which was a book then later a movie.
Dorian Gray's name was apparently on his birth certificate.
If you are not aware of the plot,it is about a man who trades his soul to the devil for eternal youth.The picture Dorian had made aged horribly but not him.
My older brother Bud has no memory of this story by my mom which I find strange!
My mom said one day the foster agency came to take Jimmy away,they had found a home for him in Wisconsin.
The point of all this is,if anyone knows of an adopted boy who's name was Dorian Gray,please let me know.
