Words!

Words, in and of themselves are often very beautiful to here and speak.

True enough, the insincere use of certain words has led to their becoming less significant than the original purpose behind them, but that is not what I came here to talk about today.Today, I just want to clarify a few words (as is my overall desire anyway).

Should you see yourself in these words, feel free to correct me, and/or yourself.

Our first word is: NICE

Nice, Strong Cooperative, Love.

Words all!

Words, as you should know by now dear friend(s), are more to me than all of the pursuits any man could choose to follow other the greatest pursuit of all; the loving of our gracious and merciful God. Therefore, when you hear words from, and/or speak words into mylife, please be kind enough to make them words that we may both actually understand the meaning.

For otherwise, something truly wonderful can be destroyed, or even less beautiful, something not quite wonderful could be all that we have left...........................................

I saw you again today..............

.................. at first, it was just the whisper of your song that I heared,
and then, it was presence of your smile that I felt upon my own,
funny even now, how much I liked it still.

So it all seems so strange now,
for here I am without you;
Yet, when I close my eyes,
still, I see you so clearly again.

Often:

Contained within the struggle is more than just the simple beauty of a closed and longing heart, and yet, without the frost, how does the flower know when to bloom again?

Therefore:

Love like rain,
is a constant and still,
not always easily received.

Sunshine, like the rain, is a given.

Therefore, in between the abstract of longing and real love,
there has to be a willingness to be honest,
and a desire to be seen like the flower,
seen, as we really are!

In missing you then,
it goes without saying that my desire to always be close,
is more than just a passing shower.

For like the rain, I'm only just a moment away!
