Spring Sprung!
"And on the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up!"
And my fish explored new territory, especially the ones who darted out the spillway and found themselves bound for the territories!
Meanwhile, back in the Ozarks...
Life can be mighty difficult!
Just leaving the house can be a hardship!
Leaving the yard is dang near impossible!
Leaving the pond takes more gumption than I can muster!
And leaving the property- well, I just don't do it!
Pray the Lord gives me strength.
And please send money!

Sea Scape, North Coast, Northern Ireland
I’d love to get to know the sea,
And watch her waves rush up the beach,
And chase the gulls among the rocks,
As far as her frothy fingers reach.
I’d love to stretch out in the sun,
And be a part of the hot, white sands,
And feel the oceans currents flow through me,
And hold their awesome power in my hands.
And watch her waves rush up the beach,
And chase the gulls among the rocks,
As far as her frothy fingers reach.
I’d love to stretch out in the sun,
And be a part of the hot, white sands,
And feel the oceans currents flow through me,
And hold their awesome power in my hands.
I’d love to have the ocean take me in,
And recall that she was mother to all men;
That she might know the doubts that I feel now,
And she and God might take me back again.
And recall that she was mother to all men;
That she might know the doubts that I feel now,
And she and God might take me back again.

My Spirit Satisfied
Cemetery in Northern Ireland, April, 2011
(To the tune of Danny Boy)
The years have flown,
The years have flown,
Another season ending;
The seeds I’ve sewn
One day will catch the sun.
My children grown,
My fences now passed mending.
The friends I’ve known,
I’ll miss them everyone.
Though memories fade,
My heart retains life’s essences;
The souls I’ve touched,
God’s blessings all arrayed;
My sins confessed,
Forgiven all my offenses,
As God recalls
My humble service to His son.
Though flesh is weak
And all my efforts frail at best,
My faith is strong,
My chief desire, to serve.
I know that God above
Rewards all faithfulness.
Saved by his love,
I’m spared the judgment I deserve.
When I am gone
My loved ones will remember me.
They know I love them,
Each and every one.
They know despite
The humble means God granted me,
I’ve lived my life
In faithful service to His Son.
So when my soul
Discards the robe of flesh I’ve worn,
And when my spirit
Lingers here no more,
Know that my heart is full,
My spirit satisfied,
As I embrace at last
The Savior I adore.
