I was beginning to wander in wonder…
I found my self in Rwanda…
It was funny because I couldn’t locate the blunder…
Maybe absence made the heart grow fonder…
I wished! But that was just adding the cow fodder…
The cow being me…with a lot of things to ponder.
Lets fast forward to
the end of this where my conscience is clear,
With nothing to fear…
Because I met someone who said your burden I will bear…
He is stronger than a bear…
His words sweet and fulfilling like a pear…
Ironically these same words cut the soul in two like a
spear,
My word! He is infinitely better than Shakespeare!
Nothing to Him comes as a scare.
So now before him I stand,
Filled with awe, I ask, will he understand?
That I went my way and with my own hand,
Broke my heart that he entrusted me to guard.
So I tried to run back and hide in the band,
In the din of strings and amplifiers of noise and sound,
Trying to run out the sand,
It didn’t work. The void did abound.
Broken, on the floor, I yearned for love.
I yearned for peace, so I bought a white dove.
But all they gave me was a cold shove.
Bitterly I cried,
And mending my own shortcomings to make me happy; I tried,
Till my strength failed and brain was fried,
Then this familiar voice came calling, ‘Fred!’
And I didn’t hide from it this time,
And now all I know is peace.
Because His word was, and still is, true.
John 16:33 – “These things
I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall
have tribulation; but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.”

healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.”
Phillipians 4:6 ,7 – “Be
careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God,
which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through
Christ Jesus.”
Proverbs 3:7,8 – “Be
not wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be
health to thy navel, and marrow to thy
bones. “
John 4:8 – “…God is
Love.”
