heads or tails

Change comes from an authoritative arrangement
With the flip of a coin life's balance hangs spinning in the air
Deciding my life's fate
Either heads or tails, change is imminent

Heads will lead down one path; tails another
Heads will open a door to a new found land
Reaping with abundant blessings
Tails will close a door but open a window
That will allow me to see as far as the horizon

Abundance will come with work
The horizon will extend with faith
Both sides of the coin will change my life
Either path will make me stretch beyond my strength
Each arrangement will be full of fear,
Compromised by the sweetest change
I cannot follow both sides of the coin
I can follow God's will whether heads or tails

fishing pole

There is an item that often gets passed down from generation to generation
Father to son
Many may view it as obsolete, but to the certain one
This item may be the very key
To finding their inner self and what joy
A fishing pole can bring

Many hours are spent, casting and retrieving
To master the fine art of fishing
But more importantly it is the memories
That are caught with the lure of life

You may quickly forget the fish you catch
Never will one forget the tug on rod, the bounteous sky
Or the deep conversations with their fishing buddy

A fishing pole is much more than a stick with line; it is the path that leads to lakes and streams and allows
One to get lost in wonderment
It is an essence that drives a man to look past the horizon and
Fish deep for what may lie beneath and awaken a new generation to the thrill
A fishing pole can bring

embers of our heart

Father this day we fall on bended knee
To ask that you bless our day as tribulation comes our way
We promise to remain true;
If we begin to lose our way we plead that you blow upon
The embers of our heart to remind us of our
Nothingness and that you know the way

Father this day as we walk down the broken road
To seek out those lost souls who have fallen by the way side
We ask that you blow upon the embers of our heart
That we may pass to those we find
The burning of the spiritual flame

Father this day as we are lifted upon the cross
Our minds reflect the past and inquire the need for change
Before you let us down off our cross, we ask that
You put our hearts into thine refiners flame
That the embers of our heart may remain
The keeper of the flame
