sledding close to the spring.
It was surely a sixties theme.

I like to float with the current
Dark and scary

Sweet Jesus let me win the lottery

O gentle giant
tall and strong
likened to the redwood tree
from way down deep
your roots unseen
stretch out far and wide
underneath your tree

but gentle as a lamb
in the sun lights glee

You are the storm in my heart, the calm
after the rain.
You are the sweetness of a rose depicted

flight,
but gentle as a lamb when not in fight.

She Was Always There for Him
