Isaac

Sometimes people just get tired
Of cussing, fussing and being confused

They understand love
But don’t understand why it isn't
Being used

And they’ve walked away so many times
Searching for peace of mind
Knowing that sanity and insanity are thin lines

So when they throw up their hands
After they’ve done their best

God will come right in
And give them rest

For their mind, body and soul
He’ll take control
And lift the load

God’s ways are not our ways
Nor His thoughts our thoughts

So with that
I’ll forget about all the oughts

For His ways are perfect (Per- Fect)
And the stage is set

And I’ll say “YES LORD!”

With God, Lara, we have to surrender all and not lean on our own understanding! I love this piece which is loaded with such wisdom! A-7! Warmest regards, my friend! Pandita

Love this Lara. So true for those that know him. I hope those that don't reach out and search him.
