Red Wagon
 

It caught my eye sitting there by itself in the yard. Its tires flat and worn and tongue and handle bent and almost broken off. The red paint had faded to a brownish orange from the weather and rust had eaten away at its body. The inside was bent almost into a bowl shaped bottom and what appeared to be rock dents in its sides. There were also specks of white paint where there once was a name. Just from looking you would say, “Throw it in the trash to be hauled away.”

Then a voice came to me saying,” Let us fix the wagon together, for I can show you how. First you need a willing heart and I will give you patience and knowledge.” This I accepted.

I carefully straightened all the dents and filled in the holes with love and welded the tongue back in place. Then I replaced the tires and sanded it all down carefully, removing all old paint and rust. Then came the primer and a coat of shiny red paint. Then on each side written in white letters YOUR HEART.

Then I filled this red wagon with the Word of God, and now it was ready to roll again. A red wagon fit for a King.



Remote Control
 

He said come quickly For you must see
This awful thing That happened to me

It was in here I calmly sat
With friends around To have a chat

We’re watching the game At the edge of the chair
When in she walked I thought she’d never dare

As fast as lightning With hands so bold
She reached and grabbed The remote control

And worse yet With a single click
The finishing touch To this fiendish trick

While in walked My friend’s wives
She turned the channel To Days of Our Lives

I don’t think I ever shall
For what she’s done Forgive this gal

Now you see Why I’m telling you
Without the remote What can I do?



Return to Young
 

I think I remember young
When things were swift to do
Climb a mountain dreamingly
With all my energy pursue

And days were conquered leisurely
If life would always last
Forgetting what was put behind
No memory of its past

Merrily to roll along
In foolish youth remain
For troubles seem to pass me by
And never come again

Ah but now to gaze upon
One picture of before
Could I recall that day of youth
Again to open its door

For now I see one not the same
Removed so far from then
Can I return to young once more
If so I don’t know when



Ripples
 

A rock thrown across the water
Seen as a ripple in the moonlight
What hand did cast forth I wonder
Why was it done this night

For me to see and share with time
An event so small for my eyes
Was a thing later to remember
The ripples on this water lies

Came then as if for me only
Where are these waters I said
Upon the valley of my heart
Was this rippling moment I dread

Oh hand pushes back these ripples
So I’ll not see again
This rock thrown on the waters
Would cause that sorrowful rain

Pour forth from eyes not wanting
To see a rock thrown again
Across the waters of my heart
And cause this rippling pain



Rising of the Son
 

I walk softly in the darkness
Then I shall stand and wait
I listen to the sobs of the night
Is this part of life’s fate
I will know the truth in this
Though the hour it seems late

Up I hear the Voice of Hope
This Word that did come to me
Though this blackness does surround
Because this has caused to see
The thing God has in store
Yes the Hope that sets me free

In all this darkness fear is stayed
The promise of His Chosen One
Who came to die that I might live
To show what Love had done
So patiently I’ll wait with Him
To see the rising of the Son



Road of Thanks
 

What shall take me to the place I desire
And light my soul with Holy Fire
A place to Him I can enquire
Yes and this heart of mine lift higher

Oh Love divine that I can find
To fill my heart, my soul, my mind
And all my walk His Word remind
To my life His Will to bind

I see a way that points to Him
Though things around look so grim
And the light becomes so dim
Circumstances take me to the brim

I thank Him for this simple way
That changes my darkness to brighter day
There so easy for me to stay
Yes this Road of Thanks before me lay



Road to Take Me
 

Road take me where I want to go
I cannot find the thing I search for
Will this longing be enough to show
Shall I come again and ask for more

Road have you heard me calling you
Come quickly so this journey I can start
Yes the time of my travel is here for me
So to that going place I must depart

Road I know that you shall lead
For your way has been set in old
And finding you not just in a dream
Shall for a man searching for life unfold

Road please come and find me here
For as much in sleep I cannot come to you
But solemnly hold to your hope until
These darkening clouds turn to skies of blue

Road is good to see your way now clear
For this alone my hope placed upon
Take swiftly to His Throne of Grace
Where I can stay until day is done



Room of Memories
 

Oh once again to open these doors
And stare at the clothes on the hangers
And say to myself, I must remove the old
Which shall I choose: there’s no stranger

For each have a place in my heart?
So tell how shall I ever forget
When at a time I lived each one
At a crossroads in life we met

I remember you and you and you
As I touch them all in my mind
This lane is filled with love and hope
Though built in a life some unkind

Some clothes dark, some clothes light
But for each this room has a place
For within all has a story been told
And a time my life did embrace

I’ve often thought that I’d wash and clean
And try to remove any stain
But this I know until my passing of time
My room of memories will always remain



Room of Unwanted Things
 

I am so burdened now what shall I do
My journey is long and I am not able to continue
I must find a place to leave these things I cannot carry
There is a place I see called The Room Of Unwanted Things
This room is large as far as the eye can see with many things stored here
Too many to count
I see many have been here before me
There is a throne with a King sitting upon it and robed in white
I ask can I leave these things that burden me on my journey here
Yes is His reply
As I place these things before Him I try to hide one I want to keep
He said I must leave them all
I began to weep as I put the last one at His feet
I feel peace and strength
I know I am going to be able to finish my journey
