Joshua Blakeway

"We're alike you and I
And we need each other.
Don't turn away but give me your hand
And for a time we can cease to be strangers.
And become who we truly are,
A family closer than blood.
United by a bond that was forced upon us--
But a bond that can make us stronger,
Still wounded and not sure,
But stronger because our sorrows are shared."
"WE NEED NOT WALK ALONE"

AUTUMN GLORY

AUTUMN BREEZE IS BLOWING
CHILL IS IN THE AIR,
LEAVES ARE GENTLY SWIRLING,
SCATTERED HERE AND THERE.
PEOPLE  CLAD IN JACKETS,
CIDER NICE AND HOT,
WIENER ROAST AND CAMPFIRE,
SURE DOES HIT THE SPOT.
FOOTBALL GAMES ON FRIDAYS,
FANS CAN NOW BE FOUND,
HUDDLED ROUND IN BLANKETS,
RIVALS COME TO TOWN.
WINTERTIME IS COMING,
LEAVES ARE BEIGN SHED,
LOVELY SHADES OF YELLOW,
TOUCH OF CRIMSON RED.
FROST IS ON THE PUMPKIN,
CHILDRE JUMB AND RUN,
DAYS ARE GROWING SHORTER,
GOLDEN FIELDS ARE SPUN.
GOD IS QUITE THE ARTIST,
PAINTS A CANAPY,
ADDS A SPLASH OF COLOR,
FOR EVERYONE TO SEE!!

How sweet to have such special friends
When days are dark and dreary
How nice to hear I'm praying for you
And feel the warmth of God's love too.
The encouraging words come from afar
Life is so easy as we build a special bond
When you are in the valley low
Friends do pray their love will show.
Our friends are like a thread of gold
We care love and hold them dear
God knew we would need each other
His command was "To love one another."
We may never meet this side of heaven
Tho' we feel each others hurt and pain
We'll continue to pray for those we love
Until someday we'll meet in heaven above.
Thank you my friends for being so dear
For showing love and your fervent prayer
I talk to my God for you each day
May you feel His warmth in every way.
