The old fence post was there
a place of romance
for many young hearts
gentle hugs
sweet loving soft kisses
often the first
the testimonies of the past
are found in initials
that adorn the post
roughly carved with hearts
speak of loves
perhaps short lived
possibly not
love, tears, the old fence post
has seen it all
simply because it was there.

There are times when we feel
like the old tree
the world has diced our bark
and hopelessness
like a disease rots from the inside
moving outward
Is There Hope? Is There Hope?
yes, if we look upward
for God is the one on our side
to Him we our sins confess
so that from night's dark
we joyfully flee
to Himself who our wounds will heal.

Soft is beauty, tenderly soft
found in a sunset
a foggy morning draped in gray
the face of a lovely lass
the gentle spirit
of God moving over the land
all beautiful
all so tenderly soft
Father in Heaven, Creator God
help me to appreciate
the beauty that surrounds me
that which is within
open my eyes
that I may fully see
open my mouth
that my tongue will praise You
as does the sunset
soft beauty, tenderly soft.
