I saw a dusty country road
not far from where i live
and I thought..if roads could talk
this one had much to give

I came upon a hill that seemed
to reach up to the sky.
and wonderd what i would find
once i got up that high?

When i reached the top I saw
a farm that seemed so fine
so I sat and watched & thought
I had all kinds of time

Once back on the road I heard
the silence of this day
and found some horses grazin in
a field not far away



On down the road I traveled and
I went up anouther hill,
with a creek along the bank
where time seemed to stand still..

At the top was lots of rocks
I paused to sit and dream,
and tried to imagine how
this road might look this spring.

I noticed that the creek was froze
(it seemed quite warm to me)
it made me think how lucky i
was here ,so I could see...

On I went down the road
and once again i found
anouther little farm that seemed
to rise up from the ground...

I saw a little barn that sat
off in a lonesome field
and wonderd what fine life it had
before it's paint had peeled...

There was a house beside it and
it was old and ancient too
so I sat and tried to picture what
it looked like when it was new...

I realized I'd been walking on
the road for quite some time
and thoughts of what could happen to
me,came into my mind.

Here i was all alone
without one bit of fear,
on this silent dusty little road
And I felt safe being here.

As i walked along I found
a building tucked away
a little jail for a town
that wasn't here today..

I saw the door was opened and
I went inside to see...
it seemed to be so tiny for
a jail if you ask me...

I could see where the bars
on windows once had been...
this was once the Satoy jail
that I was standing in..
I saw no other sign there might
still be a town but i could see
all that's left of Santoy
was right in front of me...

I thought it best to walk on
and see what I could see
and found a little covered bridge
just waiting there for me..

the sky was getting darker
and i knew the reason why.
so i walked a little faster
for my day was passing by.

Once again my thoughts went to
a fear that grew inside
i felt a need to say a prayer
(and maybe run and hide)..

deep inside i knew that i
had nothing here to fear...
I wasn't on that road alone
God walked with me here....

I stared down the road again
and noticed how the wind got still
it seemed to be a peacefull place
to find a grave yard on a hill...

the tiny church beside it had
seen many lives pass by
and as i sat upon her steps
I felt a need to cry.....

suddenly I saw the path
I'd traved on before
and knew that i was close to home
and took that path once more....

i knew the day was ending and
I had not far to go
but i stayed and watched the sky
put on a mighty show...

I believe that God is good
He's gentle and He's kind.
and when i'm out about alone
I know His hands in mine..
Some say that it's wrong to be
walking dusty roads alone
but I know that God is with me
(He'll see that I get home..)
I know this world is full of fear
but I'm not natured to "give in"
I always take God with me because
I know i'm safe with Him (Amen)

I took a path into the woods
one cold and cloudy day
I didn't know where it would go
or what i'd find along the way

I went past a meadow and
saw a house with weathered wood
and tried to get a vision of
the way that it once stood...

in the yard I saw a bus
fading with it's memories
of yesterday..tucked away
as if hanging on the breeze.

Next to the house i saw a hole
that went deep into the ground
like satin was about to catch
me and pull me down....

I turned to see a frightened doe
that turned to run from me
it seemed as though this was her home
the one to intrude was me.
Up on the hill i saw the barn
it seemed to call out my name
but 1st i paused to enjoy
this picture with no frame.
I did not want to leave but I
knew darkness would soon fall.
And as i paused to take a rest
A tiny church I saw
I knew I must be leaving but
I wanted so to stay
so i took a moment to
just relax and pray...
I found that i was thirsty and
my heart began to sink
but soon i found a spring house and
I paused and took a drink
I knew the day was ending and
I heard a whiperwill
and saw anouther house beyond
the meadow on a hil
The house within the darkned sky
seemed to be haunted in a way
so i thought this is a time
when I should pause to pray...
I knew i had to hurry there
was little time to spare
but i came upon a tiny church
that seemed to want me there..
I saw the door was open and
I went inside to see
why it seemed the rugged walls
was calling out to me
I saw the sky turning red
and thought I'd hurry & get home
but there before me i could see
I did not walk alone...
I watched the sun fall into
the night and understood
every day in it's own way
When spent with God is good...

Today I thought I'd make a list
of things about driving that gets me ticked
Like people who refuse to turn
right on red it makes me burn.
I don't like cars that get right on my ass
with bright headlights but will not pass.
and I don't like horns that blow down the street
waking me up when I need my sleep.
I've had cars pull out , right in front of me
when I'm the only car on the road that I see
then they make a turn right up the road
or I get behind someone driving real slow.
Now If i seem to appear to you
like i'm too picky ( have some road rage too)
maybe you're just one of "Them"
and can't construe my mayhem.
(but then again)
I must admit I too have been
that driver on the other end.
I've been givin the finger & got on my toes
when the light is red & a loud horn blows
I've had cars flash bright lights at me.
cause my lights were bright "they" couldn't see.
I don't know about you friend but I have decided
when I'm out driving I won't get excited.
I'll watch out for you , please watch out for me.
we're in this together, it's the best way to be....

March is here (Spring is near)
I'm ready for a change ain't you?
Winter's got me, bored and edgy
Sincerely sad and blue.
It's like the walls are closing in
I'm not eating or sleeping right
My skin is dry and itchy I'm
All depressed and uptight.
But March is like the tiny light
at the end of winter's touch.
Soon April showers and may flowers
will change my life so much......

While walking down a country lane
Thinking bout this world we're in
I thought of God and how we tend
to blame everything on Him

Deep in thought, I looked up
and saw before my eyes
a hill that seemed to dissapear
where the sky began to rise.

I sat on that hill untill
the sun began to fall
And I heard a voice inside me say
Each day is for Us All...

Darkness fell about me and
as I found my way back home.
I saw the sky and knew that I
would never be alone
