"Down Memory Lane" 7/14/03
sometimes it is time
to take a trip
down memory lane
just as the tree
needs to be
pruned to be fruitful
the heart needs to be
cleansed to grow
the mind needs to be
traversed occasionally
we need to sort the
contents of that black box
and, at the same time,
relinquish our hold
on our pride, and
find our humility
it is not so much
like picking
at a scab
as it is
digging out
an old splinter
buried under layers
of new skin
our collection of
memories and dreams
needs to be
perused once in a while
otherwise we will be
like a chained animals,
only able to go so far
without being held back
down memory lane
we are able
to see our mistakes
replayed before our eyes
to meet the skeletons
in our closets
to taste the salt
of the tears we cried
sometimes it is time
to take a trip
down memory lane
sometimes we need
to suffer to gain
sometimes we need
look down that
dark lane and
into ourselves
"Why?" 11/01
eternal life...
we all wonder how to get it,
wonder what price must be paid,
what we must do..
and yet most
of the time, the answer
eludes us
we strive to do everything,
get everything
and how ironic it is
that eternal life is a gift
no strings attached,
no small print.
Jesus stands
knocking at your door;
the door is locked
from within. only you can open it...
in His hands,
he holds the gift of eternal life.
no price.
He`s already paid it.
