Train
of Life . . .
Some folks ride the train of life
Looking out the rear,
Watching miles of life roll by,
And marking every year.
They sit in sad remembrance,
Of wasted days gone by,
And curse their life for what it was,
And hang their head and cry.
But I don't concern myself with that,
I took a different vent,
I look forward to what life holds,
And not what has been spent.
So strap me to the engine,
As securely as I can be,
I want to be out on the front,
To see what I can see.
I want to feel the winds of change,
Blowing in my face,
I want to see what life unfolds,
As I move from place to place.
I want to see what's coming up,
Not looking at the past,
Life's too short for yesterdays,
It moves along too fast.
So if the ride gets bumpy,
While you are looking back,
Go up front, and you may find,
Your life has jumped the track.
It's all right to remember,
That's part of history,
But up front's where it's happening,
There's so much mystery.
The enjoyment of living,
Is not where we have been,
It's looking ever forward,
To another year and ten.
It's searching all the byways,
Never should you refrain,
For if you want to live your life,
You gotta drive the train.

JOY OF THE HEART
You are the sun that warms me and sends its
sunbeams to kiss my face and sigh "I love you."
You are the soft breeze of each season that cloaks
me in its arms and hugs me ...keeping me safe
from the hurts of the world.
You are the smile I see in the azure blue sky each
time I look upward.
You are the sweetness I taste as I close my eyes
and remember your kiss.
You are the lovely quiver that goes through my body
each time I remember your touch.
You are the kindness that melts my heart with its
soothing words.
You are the loving understanding who listens to my
heart and holds me close to let me cry.
You are the goodness that comes from a loving heart
that gives of itself and kisses my tears away.
You are the joy in my heart that I feel each day I awake
and "touch the air" for you are there.
And most of all you are my love for whatever time we have
to love and be with one another to share our tomorrows..
