Wayfarer's window!

I have spent a better past of my morning viewing news of unrest in my home-town. The pictures beam the sad plight of the common man and I find it disturbing. I can blame politicians for the grim situation and join the protest brigade; but to lend  solidarity to the cause  I am encouraged by friends to fight the battle on a different plane.  The lights are down, yet shadows loom large. The town looks deserted, but there are eyes prying, behind every window. They have been shaken and stirred, pushed around and hurt, and we have been mutely counting the twenty and more years that have washed away. I was there then, so were you,  we were young and there was hope, but our destinies made us leave our homes. We look back now and wonder  if things were better before than now. Yet, our home is still there, where we have left our hearts; only that this morning we have other windows to look through. We seek the deserted streets and the hurt h...

Time slips away like a fistful of sand, as I look at another strand of my white hair. I realise its not just me, wasting away all the good, that was given. Now, I want to invest, all that I have, in one precious place, where I know it will matter. Seriously, If you heard me say this before, then you'll hear me say this once again. Listen, even if it means that I shake you a bit too roughly and ask you, "is what you're doing worth it, when it all slips away so soon?" I am learning myself to invest all I have and not to spend or throw it away, Yes, I am talking about my life, and quite clearly at that! But, I don't wanna wait till I learn it all, and then tell you about it. When it might just be too late for me, for you. I wanna tell you now...invest in what matters...matters for eternity! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vfG5s_VgWE

You offered him, a hope, You trusted him when he was ready, to give up and go. You understood, that given the right chance, He would, be able, to rise up... much beyond your expectations, or his. This is the time, of consecration. of your faith, in people, your will, to teach, and let go! There will also come a time, to rejoice, in the fruition of your hope, the fulfilment of your dreams. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIun5xGK86g

Even though I walk  through the darkest valley,  I will fear no evil,  for you are with me....... Psalm 23:4 I know you are helpless, exhausted, and going through your valley. Tonight, all I can offer, is One hand you cannot hold. But I have known, that even when we are feeble, He lifts us up when we are down. I pray, you'll come over the shadows, that loom large and dark and dull. That you will find your mountain top,' and a victor's crown, in the race you have run. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btcGAAahSTs

I look out to a cloudy sky, Its been awhile, and I have been waiting, for the old sunshine, to come back to me. The rain, it reminds me  of the days I have spent, wishing for the sun. But today, I want it to rain, to let it wash away, the pain, the loneliness, the waiting. For I know, there will come a time, for the clouds to lift up, and give way, to the beams of the Redeeming Sun! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UN6Sw3Rh6ug

I have searched through, the window to the world. Kept it close, believing it would, transport me to the land, of fairies and forests, of rivers and rainbows. When all the while, my joys and happiness, my life and meaningfulness, have been beside me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17ZrK2NryuQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsFtVOABREo

I have lost you so many times, when, I have never wanted to lose you. I have been searching for so long, but it has taken all this while to understand, that the only way you can be found, is when I am on my knees! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGumE9nkP3o

Stitched of so many fabrics, yet I never want you  to be in tatters. Though sometimes, you are shown in your glory, it does not take much, to understand your underbelly; of pulls and pushes, of haves and have nots, of those that leave you behind, and those that can't. As a mother,  you are, never heartless, beating as much for you silent children, as those that tear you apart! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLOaDrD65Z4&sns=fb
