 Time Out.....
 

Today's become anouther day
when raindrops want to fall
So i'm taking time to make the time
to go down no road at all.....

Theres places that we've been before
that i'd like to go again
so let me open up the door
Down roads where we have been...

I guess my favorte road would be
the one with my son and his son
Their goal for me, was to relax
and that's exactly what I done....

Silas and his Bubby have
been jamming on guitars
in-between the thunder storms
So we're listening to Rock Stars...

Anouther road I truly loved
was when we saw the deer..
She seemed to stop and pose for me
( be fore she ran off in fear).



I truly love the little barn
that sits down by Cat Tail road...
Someday I'll get a picture of it
right after it has snowed....



I think about the bridges that
My roads in poems have lead me to
If i had to pick a favorite I
Would pick the old ones how bout' you?

My favorite tiny little road
was more or less a path or trail.....
it lead me to a blog stream and
these tiny tales I tell...

 Just Walkin In The Rain.....
 

It seems like it's rained for days and days
but i had to venture out once more
and I found this tiny little path
that seemed a good one to explore...



As I walked the raindorps fell,
It felt good this fine warm day.
& I stoped, to watch them drop,
on a lake along the the way.....

The tiny raindrops seemed to glow
like Cristals and i saw,
that this little path i'd found
was different from them all...



Near the path flowers grew
and i was so glad i came,
i noticed how tall they stood
as if reaching for the rain...

I came upon a bridge for trains
that now was old and used no more
and i paused to rest & tried my best
to visulize it years before....

All around were flowers that
Seemed to be everywhere.
and i wished I had a home
deep in the woods right there...

The rain was just a drizzle now
as i went around a bend
and i paused to watch the raindrops fall
on the water once again....



The smell of honeysuckle was
around me everywhere
and even though i was drenched
I was glad to be right there...

I paused to rest upon a rock
It seemd the perfect place to pray
and thanked the Lord for everything
Even for this rainy summer day....

 The Lonesome Path.......
 

Today I found a little path
that seemed to call to me
so i went down the tiny trail
to see what I could see.....

It seemed to go for miles and miles
this lonesome path I'd found
and i could feel summers warmth
as i walked upon the ground.....

deep witin the woods i saw
a tiny bench of stone
Just waiting for a visitor
where once had been a home

As I sat upon the mossy stone
I felt Gods spirit close to mine
and i asked that He hear all the prayers
in this world, this day in time....
I asked that this war be ended and
the poor be blessed with more
I asked that all the children be
kept safe from shore to shore.
I asked for many blessings as
I sat upon that stone
For i knew that He was listening
I did not fell I was alone....

I knew i should be going for
this day so soon would end...
and I noticed that the tiny path
was much wider than it'd been.



I went around a bend and saw
a place that seemed to be
as peacfull as the tiny path
where life seemed so care free....



I knew that i was close to home
So i took time to sit some more
and wished i had a cabin of
my own upon this shore.....

I saw the shadows forming on
the water and i knew......
this journey that i took today
was close to being through.....
i saw some stones upon the path
and paused to rest & sit awhile..
I knew this was a special place
I had to share somehow....

I huried for i knew that this
fine day was ending fast
and wished all days could be this way
that the peacefullness could last..

I looked up and saw what seemd to be
a white cross painted in the sky
and felt as though the Angels were
smiling down and saying hi......

The sun was setting when i reached
home safe once more again
i watched it dance before my eyes
and could only say Amen....

Peace and love to everyone who reads this post .....may all the roads in life bring, peace, love, health and joy to all......River.
