Another day, another chance for perfection. God is in all of us, but not with perfection. 'But you can always meet perfection in the eye'. - 28th April 2006.




Bethlehem sands.

The sun is set,

The dawn has gone,

Turn me loose,

Wake me up.

A prodigal son,

Infinite to one.

My hands do hurt,

Can I have some help?

My feet do hurt,

Help me up.

 

Father,

Of the sun,

Of the earth, -

And moon.

 

Fade to ash,

As they carry away,

Fall asleep,

And by the day

I do ride,

And stray by.

 

Face to face,

Man to man.

I laughed;

Shook his hand.

 

Walking across Bethlehem sands.
