Taking Thought
Have you ever sat and pondered, just trying to know your mind.
Just searching for an answer that you never seem to find.
Searching all your feelings, but you don't know how you feel, wondering somewhere half aloud if anything is real.
You think you know whats wrong, but that won't make it right, feeling like there is no use, but you can't give up the fight.
Where is this life headed, where did it go so bad.
Just sitting outside looking in to the life you thought you had.
You rise up in the morning, and work on through the day, and when the evening comes around, with one more day you've paid.
But then there are those moments, some minutes and some hours, that it all has meaning, and doesn't seem so sour.
The times that you are reaching out to touch anothers world, the meaning really comes to view like a flag that's been unfurled.
The meaning of this life I think is giving of yourself. Getting past the I's and me's is the road that leads to wealth.
Not money no not treasure, not things that please the eye, these things have little value when you are learning how to fly. Flying like the eagles, soaring up above, rising high above it all through the power of God's love.
So Father now I ask the, this earnest thing I pray, teach me love in all I do and everything I say.
Let my life become O Lord full of the love you give, not sitting back just wondering what it really means to live.
Darrell Alan Logan, 1998
