Final breath of summer
Extinguished by autumn’s tune—
Leaves’ colorful sketch
Autumn brings changes
Nature’s preparation time—
Every fallen leaf
Trees’ full canopies
Annual autumn harvest
Left bare once again

I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Walking this lonely road
Losing count of each step
Packing life’s hefty load
Careful not to misstep
Miles of infinite road
Where will it finally end?
Life scanned, like some bar code
What lies around the bend?
Few answers on this road
Walking day after day
Needing life to reload
Feeling like nature’s prey
Danger lurks on this road
Always staying alert
Life delayed in safe mode
Old, worn boots kicking dirt
Life resembles this road
Challenges come and go
Heavy, infinite load
Never walking too slow

What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) was an American essayist, poet, and philosopher. He was a leading voice in America’s transcendentalist movement in the 19th century.
From Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.”
Dotting I’s, crossing T’s
Life’s performance checklist
Nice life bestowed on thee
Knowing Father shall insist
Worshipping each Sunday
Dollars fill collection
Mirror says, “Good Christian”
Seeking Father’s affection
Feeling faith’s emptiness
Life’s perfection falls short
Redemption’s ticket waits
Striving for Father’s passport
Hearing at last, Word’s truth
New covenant shall rise
Hope’s mercy calls for faith
Fulfilling Father’s franchise
Receiving salvation
Despite life’s sinful walk
By grace, Savior redeems
Grasping Father’s faithful rock
Leaving life’s performance treadmill, the Gospel’s true road offers guidance through our Savior’s blessed grace–as we walk faithfully in His light into new life.
