SISTERLY LOVE

know where they get that phrase?

let me tell you!

it began at the beginning of time

Eve needed someone to talk to

she had children of course

but along the way

she somehow had a woman friend

now back then they didn't say 'sister'

but she surely knew the feeling

of love, compassion and understanding

and just as all of us women do...

Eve needed someone to talk to

and to listen to her heart

time flew by and then came the day

another woman entered Eve's life

she was fair (as we now say beautiful)

and she had a very gentle heart

and caring as well as friendly

she sat down beside Eve

and they talked for hours

as if they knew each other all their lives

Eve never experienced such a feeling

but she was eternally grateful

for the woman God put in her life

and that had become more than just a friend

there was a special bond between the two

and they celebrated with dancing and song

and the spirits lifted to the skies

as Adam and other men looked on in awe

and you, My Friend, are just like her

a sister to my heart

and so much more than just a friend

you mean the world to me

and I want you know

just exactly the way Eve felt....

I love you

thus, became Sisterly Love

'NO LONGER ALONE

many nights I've lain and cried

wondering if anywhere

I truly belonged

was there a place out there

even under an apple tree

where I could sing my song

I desire to sing unto the skies

raise my voice to those nearby

but no one seemed to listen

my heart grew dim, weary

discouraged for far too long

loneliness ever graven

forthwith came a few ladies

walking along the way

saw me, reached out a hand

they were so unlike

anyone I've ever known

one spoke, ''I understand''

I rose from beneath the skies

my voice sailed in the clouds

white, pure and amongst the blue

I was no longer alone

things were so different

words of love poured out so true

all I can do is smile and give

thanks to all those ladies

that took me in - a lonely lamb

you've made a difference for me

made my world much brighter

love and peace is now who I am

UNEXPECTED BLESSINGS

you never know what tomorrow brings

that saying I've proved o'er and o'er again

we cannot foretell the next few moments

we can only tell wherever we've been

but the most amazing thing about it all

unexpected blessings light our way

I'm thankful to be a single witness

rather by night or be it by day

unexpected blessings bestow upon us

I feel the presence of pure glory

of all the tales one has to recite

that kind can make the best story

unexpected blessings surround us

we are fortunate, though we don't always know

I just want to shout ''Hallejuah!''

and be thankful as the blessings bestow
