I Will Never Turn Back

I'm coming back to thy holy home,
I have laid down my lugage of loss,
Never again will I retire, run or roam;
I now cling to Christ's convenant and cross. 

I have laid down my lugage of loss,
God's holy hands holds my humble heart,
I now cling to Christ's convenant and cross,
singing solemn songs... a sincere journey starts.

Gold's holy hands holds my humble heart,
I'll never turn back, bend or bow to sin,
singing solemn songs ...a sincere journey starts,
now I woo wisdom and wealth from within.

I'll never turn back, bend or bow to sin,
never again will I retire, run or roam; 
now I woo wisdom and wealth from within,
I'm coming back to thy holy home.

Hi Adeleke, my husband died after we had been married for only four years. I just assumed most people knew that because I written so many poems about losing him. Thanks for your very gracious comments on my blog. Love, Carolyn

Dearest Adeleke, I am so sorry for that uncalled for remark about your IQ. You are a highly intelligent young gentleman. I understood everything you were saying. I sent you a Soup mail also. I stand by you. Love, Carol

Dear Adeleke. This is beautiful and I do admire your work so much. I am angry about the abusive answer to your blog comment from someone who should know better. Please pay no attention to him. You are undoubtedly a highly intelligent young man. With love, Joyce
