The wind blew

The wind blew, but God was not in the wind

Rain fell, but God was not in the rain

Lightning struck the ground, but God was not in the lightning

Insects swarmed, but God was not with the insects

Fire burned, but God was not in the fire

The sun rose, freindship shown, love shared, and a brother cared

God was the whisper telling all is well

God was the love that bonded brothers

God was the freindship that fixed my soul

The Garden

I close my eyes

I see the Garden 

She is there 

Tending to the plants 

Roses as big as your fist 

Red, yellow, and white 

Flowers everywhere 

Wisteria grown up huge pine trees 

Elephant Ears as big as me 

A strawberry patch with big ripe fruit 

She tends the garden 

It is her garden 

Every plant fertilized and cared for 

She cares for God’s creation 

The garden is her own soul 

It’s where the Holy Spirit lives 

It’s where she walks with God 

If she can just get it close to Eden 

God will surely come and save her 

When my father died I too went to the garden and wept 

When Carmen died I again wept in the garden 

Jesus was there in the garden 

He always has been 

Praying for us

Praying for me

Tortured souls are at rest 

She tends to Gods garden now 

The earthly garden is gone 

The memory of her garden tends to my soul

Who would have known

Who would have known
I certainly did not
That a boy turned man
Would be in charge
Making decisions only God should ever make
No, I wasnt alone
Loved ones were there

Who would have known
The women who brought me here
Would leave in front of me
Slip out of this realm
Into the next
Loved ones were there

Who would have known
The woman who raised me
Tought me to fear God
Tought me to love God
Taught me to be
Would be subject to my decisions
Loved ones were there

Who would have know
In a instant I was alone
Rain falling all around
Lost in amdark hole
Loved ones were there

Who would have know
Loved ones were there
God was there
God knew.
