...
When I look upon the cross
this is what I see; the lamb
of GOD who came and died for me.
...
I wish I could tell you how I really feel without you wanting to leave.
I just want to show you each and every day how much you really
mean to me and the way you make me feel whether you are near
or so far away.
...
Love is the main foundation of life’s core
You will not find any holes, leaks or chips
Love is a gift that comes from your heart
...
Find me a place to hide
Somewhere deep inside
A place that’s dark and lonely
...
Sitting here and thinking about the day you
were born. A tiny bundle of joy so sweet
and innocence you were on that day.
...
The heart is a lonely hunter, looking for a place to be.
Knowing how much the hurt knows it can never be.
I wished you could find a place so deep in my heart
That all I had to do was give you my open heart.
...
There is no room in your heart
For me this I know
For she was first and it leaves
Me in the cold
...
If I told you a secret -
would you promise not to laugh?
It's a place of fairytales
...
When you're gone I miss -
The way you kiss me,
The way you smile,
The gentleness of your touch,
...
Dreaming I'm in a meadow -
where no one else is around..
I spread my blanket -
upon the ground..
...
Take me to the cross:
Where He hung on that tree.
Take me to the cross:
...
When the absent mind
returns to a place of distance-
There is the place of the mind.
...
I'm taking a journey down life's pathway into a world unknown to me.
Unsure of the directions I must take but one thing I know for sure; I'm to walk by faith and not by sight as the world is known to do. I decided to walk down this life's pathway when I answered the Father's call from above.
Everything going so smooth, I asked my Father to draw me close and make me more like His Son. Then all of a sudden my world turned upside down: test and trials that came my way and I didn't understand why? There is no way possible to walk this life's pathway that I have chosen for Him.

The Best Poem Of Connie L. Burchett
Obituary: Common Sense
Don't know who the Author is of this piece: but wanted to share it.
Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old
he was since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape.
He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as knowing when to come in out of the rain, why the early bird gets the worm, why life isn't always fair, and how, on occasion, maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you earn) and reliable parenting strategies (adults, not children are in charge) .
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a six-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job they themselves failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer aspirin, sun lotion or a sticky plaster to a student; but could not inform the parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar can sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason. He is survived by three stepbrothers; I Know my Rights, Someone Else is to Blame, and I'm a Victim.
Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.
