Grievous Reports Have Come To My Attention.
So Bad, In Fact, I Hesitate To Mention
That I Honestly Must Question Your Intention
And Admit, It’s Beyond My Comprehension.

So Why, My Friend, Must There Be All This Dissention
That Would Make You Break From Normal Convention?
Do You Feel That You Are Under Subjugation?
By Not Responding You Show Great Dereliction.

My Dog With Leash In Mouth,
Woke Me From My Deepest Sleep.
His Dark Brown Eyes Spoke Volumes,
Although He Did Not Speak.

I Want To Chase The Wild Hare
And Run Him To The Ground.
When I’ve Finally Caught Him
We’ll Laugh And Roll Around.’

Why? I Don’t Know. Why Ask Me?
What Is It That You Want?
Answers! ? From Me?
Are You Mad?

I Haven’t Had An Answer In Years.
Not Since That Day
I Can’t Talk
Anyway,

If You Want To Look At Life,
The Ups And Downs And Various Strife.
Then, My Friend, The Place To Start
Is At Your Local Wal-Mart.

Life Defines A Man, ‘ They Say.
For Those Who Boast And Those Who Pray
Will Find Themselves Behind A Cart
At Their Friendly Wal-Mart.

Thunder Echos Off The Walls.
The Sky’s A Frightful Black.
People Gather In The Halls
Too Restless To Go Back.

Lightning Flashes In The Clouds.
Rains Descend As Darkened Shrouds.
Nature’s Dirge Sends Cleansing Rain.
The Earth Becomes As New Again.

Beseech Me Not To Speak The Flowery Talk Of Love.
Ask Not Of Me To Use Such Words That Seem From Heaven Above.
Ask Only That I Say To You What My Heart Does Lend.
That You My Bride Are These; My Wife, Lover And Friend.

To Say Our Love Is As A Rose, So Perfect In Its Form,
And That When We’re Apart, My Soul Feels So Forlorn,
Is But To Use The Language That Many Poets Tend.
You Are More Than This, My Wife, Lover And Friend.

He Came To Teach That He Was Truth. He Was The Great I Am.
Bringing Grace Into This World Was His Father’s Plan.
The Cruelest Death That Man Could Know Was His Alone To Bear.
A Crown Of Thorns Upon His Brow Was His Alone To Wear.

Ridiculed And Beaten, For Us He Bore The Shame.
This Perfect Son Of God, For Us He Bore The Blame.
‘It Is Finished, ‘ Said The Savior, And The World Thought It Had Won.
But The Grave Then Lost The Battle With The Rising Of The Son.
