Gwen Von Erlach Schutz Poet Free verse

Songs of Yesterday

Rhymes of yesteryear,
Good companions who were here.

A word goes by,
Complimentary and silent.

All a miracle,
Songs sung by choirs.

Stories told,
Sound refined and complex.

Days we tolerated and liked,
Church melody.

Angel choirs,
Command performance.

As perfect and imperfect as God allows,
Days of sadness that you can't reconcile.

God's strength allows you to progress,
Beyond human limits.

Mountains to climb,
Stories to tell.

The quest continues,
To dream the impossible dream.

Carolyn Devonshire November 4, 2009 at 2:10 PM Very nice recollection of times gone by, days that were tolerable because of the spirit of community that is reflected in the church choir. Sometimes when we think we can move no further, we turn to God and find that strength that allows us to reach "beyond human limits." Quite an inspiration to read! Love, Carolyn
