The Labyrinth of Life

The Labyrinth of Life

The labyrinth of life seems a mystery

Yet we walk it every day

Each step we take we contemplate

As we wind about our way

We gather thoughts and visual things

Along this walk of life

We even meet others along the way

Walking through joy and strife

We may stop sometimes just to see

If we can glimpse the end

It may appear close or faraway

There always is a bend

For Labyrinths' being what they are

Paths with many turns

We journey on and meditate

Even pray about concerns

There is a pathway we all must take

Before we reach our goal

Gaining knowledge from each step we take

It touches our very soul

So look around and then look up

you'll see what's always there

The glory of your inner Light

You'll soon  become aware

That the Light that shines inside of you

Comes from the Light above

It guides you each and every step

It comes with perfect Love

So walk your Labyrinth of Life each day

Be proud of who you are

For with each step you take you'll find

The strength of a shining star

For God lives in  and shines through you

Just as a tiny seed

Nurturing  and feeding  your thirsty soul

You have  all you need

You'll  grow in Spirit with Light and Love

An inner strength you'll find

A tranquil Peace will prevail your thoughts

As you line up soul and mind

So come on and take the labyrinth of life

Walk  in your  own way

Each step  is a sacred journey to take

As night turns into day

God gave us a man, I called Uncle Bud

A loving tribute I wrote  for a loving man. A man of a generation that is dwindling yet their legacy lives on in those they have touched, nurtured, and cared for... Their physical presence may be gone... but they will never be forgotten as they live on in in our hearts and souls... Rest in Peace Dear Uncle.... however I fully expect a little fun will be had by all those that have gone before.... a softball game, basketball, horseshoes,... Uncle Bud did love life!!   

May we all learn to live and love life to the fullest... after all.... it's the best show on earth.

 God's Blessings to all.

God gave us a man, I called Uncle Bud

He loved  life and served the land

With a wink and a smile he worked each day

So much more than just a farm hand

He toiled and tilled and milked the cows

Such hard work and yet he knew

When all was done in the barn and field

It was home to his family he flew

To a beautiful wife he cherished dear

She was always by his side

They'd talk and laugh and share ideas

Their love they could not hide

Wasn't long before the family grew

With children they had four

Three girls and a boy made up their clan

And all they did adore

 

  

Uncle Bud was loved by everyone he met

He was a giant hearted man

He'd lend a hand no matter the task

Helping others was part of his plan

 

What I remember most was he liked to have fun

Catching  fish or throwing a ball

Finding kids of all ages he'd get them out playing

And he was the biggest  of  all

Yet when it required a serious touch

He'd be there with heart and soul

Giving support with whatever it was

He could take on most any role

Strength, hope and courage he brought to his family

A man of such faith and much love

With God by his side and deep in his soul

His guidance came from above

What a legacy he leaves to his family and friends

As he was kindness inside and out

He taught many lessons by example I know

Of that I have no doubt

So I say thank you dear uncle for just being you

For men of such stature are few

Your Love will live on in the hearts of us all

For now we must bit you adieu

God's called you to your  Heavenly Home

A Homecoming with family and friends

We will grieve just a bit then celebrate your life

Sharing fond memories and commends

God's holding you now in His heavenly hand

You may rest as your work day is done

Your family and friends will carry on here on earth

Through Christ your New Life's begun
