Wind blows across the field There is nothing that can shield Stalks of wheat from swaying Just their roots keep them staying Firmly planted in the ground From the turmoil all around The husks grip with endeavour Will this chaos last forever Then the sudden flash above Spreading over like a glove Each finger touches so Shock of lightening they know Some will shrivel from the blow As they burst in flame & glow Then they just are embers left The farmer he will be bereft The crop that he so gently sowed To pay the debts that are owed So he'll have to toil some more As he did those times before An act of God some may say But it's only natures way     Copyright © William Gregory 2012 http://about.me/willg2412   Inspired by the painting Lightning Storm Across A Texas Wheat Field (c)G.Abbey aka Nightowl  http://www.thrulenseyes.com 2011 All Rights Reserved, Use by permission only....

Think of the life we live as a ladder To be who we’re mean’t to be & do what we’re mean’t to do We have to get all the way to the top Each rung is a different experience or lesson But along life’s way there are many set-backs These set-backs cause us to go down the ladder instead of up Sometimes we may fall off the ladder completely Which then makes us scared to get back on it again That’s when we need support, someone to convince us not to be scared To help us get our foot back on the first rung Then hold it for us while we climb back up again Just enough to keep it steady & safe to regain our confidence & trust Then we can make it the rest of the way up without fear of falling or slipping Knowing that help is still at hand to support us if we need it When we need it & the climb starts to get a bit harder again That support we need comes from family & friends Sometimes it may come from a total stranger Who see’s that we need help & offers the hand of friendship Some of us may feel we’ve made it all the way to the top already With very little help along the way But there’s still the risk of falling or slipping even once we’re up there So we still need to make sure the support is there if...

Watching you leave, is so hard to do, you are a friend to me & me to youFlowers, cannot replace who you are, they're a tribute, to your life, so farThe ones that I see, are so very few, compared to the life, I know of youA garden is needed, to tell how I feel, of your life, here is the deal The soil that's used, to plant & sow, just like the hands, of you, that I knowKeeping the plants stable & strong, giving support, when others do wrongAllowing the roots to grow & expand, then on their own, they can standTheir stems can now rise up high, reaching up to the sun in the sky Just like thorns, on the stems of a rose, the protection you give, as it growsStopping others, who try to do harm, not really seeing, their beauty & charmThe rose buds, need more time to bloom, others destroy them, far too soonPruning away, cut down in their prime, they should be given more time Just like the path, leading the way, then through the garden, no one will strayFrom the course, for them that's been laid, that is why, I wish you'd stayedTo guide me further, along life's road, & the troubles, that will unfoldI know you can't guide me, all the way, in my heart, you'll always stay Your own road, I know, continues on, without you, I will have to be strongYour road, I know, will never end, the distant clouds, the...
