John Squires Poet Rhyme

Where Have I Been

We've all been places we don’t know
Somewhere with our life in tow
Shrouded in our memories past
Before the physical was cast
It’s what we wanted where we started
The home of light from which we parted
Established in a realm unknown
We found on earth a brand new home
Tempered by the things we see
There’s guidance in our memory
I’ve been there but I don’t know how
It’s timeless in the things I think
The bloom of life, the ancient link
There is a path to where I’ve been
Do you know the way? It’s Him
Jesus made a way back home
In sacrifice it’s clearly shone
Seek the way where life is found
Can you find it, hear the sound?
Jesus made the way again
Back to home where I have been

Old Buck March 20, 2015 at 12:51 PM John: I would love to discuss "where you've been" with you but I'd sound preachy. Thank you for sharing those thoughts with each of us. The world needs to know of His Great Love and Sacrifice. Thanks again for a job well done, good and faithful servant. :o) oldbuck
