I want to share two writings of mine with y'all. I keep about 98% of my writings to myself but sometimes I just get the urge to share some. Tonight, there were two. This first one I wrote while at Young Life's Rockbridge.
A battle is on
Here in this valley
As the heat and humidity bake
But the breeze of night cools
The crickets sing a song of peace
But peace is yet to be won here
For Love is pulling at hearts
But evil calls for the minds
Invisible to the naked eye
But visible in spirit
These beautiful grounds
On which joy is found
Is in the midst of war
For by faith we fight
By Love we live
Love and life is at stake
The lake and the trees see it all
But close your heart and miss everything
For this war is old
But this battle here is new
Some will prevail
Others will stumble
But this beautiful place
Will always be sacred
For here a battle is on
And the reward is eternal life
This next one was written a few days after I got home from that same trip. It was written with great memories and a joyous heart. It is for my Capernaum friends who showed me how to truly live life to the full.
Oh how memories keep me strong
A smile put on my face
Joy bounces in my heart
As thoughts wonder
Wonder to that week
Where Love was around us
Where simplicity reigned
Oh the laughter that was heard
The smiles that were seen
The patience of friends
The will to press on
Oh the safety of that place
No stares or ignorance
Just Love to be shared
My friends were who they are
Who they were made to be
Oh the courage they showed
As they lived life to the full
A special place
A special time
My soul longs to be back
But these memories will keep me strong
