Gavin Anderson Poems

A friend in need's
A friend indeed —
A faithful saying, true,
...

Some days my whole being aches
For days gone by —
Some sweet,
Others filled with longing for some still undisclosed future —
...

Mountain Highway lift me high
Where the treetops touch the sky
Then home to where the ocean sings
Of surf and stars, wind and wings.
...

My thoughts are sentimental;
My feelings — warm and true;
My mem'ries —sweet and loving,
Because they're all of you.
...

You have cause the Hawk to sing;
With your voice the forests ring.
Wild things cuddle in your arms;
At your Sid are no alarms,
...

The Good Shepherd bought me with His blood so dear;
At that great cost, my own slave's price, He drew near.
My Dear Shepherd found me ere I knew I'd strayed;
Midst Earth's beck'ning pleasures this one thing I prayed:
...

America, I weep for you,
My country and my home.
God shed His precious grace on thee;
How long then will you roam?
...

To Camlann towne and yonder faire,
My friend I bid thee make,
To joine me in the splendour there,
And in the fun partake.
...

I love the smell of your hair;
'Tis rich beyond compare.
And you ask me how I know —
It happened awhile ago …
...

Keep me satisfied, ever with Thee;
Craving, clinging, ever needful.
Yearning, let my complete desire be
To find in Thee my life, my whole.
...
