- The End of Time
Written By: David Devaney
February 17, 2007
I've touched upon the end of time
Before my life should close
Then asked the Father of my days
To bring no quick repose
I begged for courage and respect
To help new courses chart
The strength to place life in God's hands
So better days might start
I've tried so hard to do things right
Integrity my guide
But only found great disrespect
From which I could not hide
So often kindness did appear
To only weakness be
Yet when the fog did dissipate
I set my passion free
Counting moments that remain
More precious than pure gold
The midnight still unknown to me
As days all new unfold
And I must choose to live my time
Much stronger than the rest
Knowing that life's destiny
Will always be a test
Of heart and will and intellect
Myself I must decide
To live a life of consequence
Where love need never hide

I am His daughter, My Father's own,
anointed in route to join His thrown.
Guided along whith His firm direction,
While gently molded to His perfection...
Joyous laughter in my heart shall sing,
protection of His love from heaven bring.
Telling all that my father's given today,
Words so many could not begin to say...
Captured elation of hevenly bliss abound,
Through Him all that love truly surround.
God sent treasures that I've received,
Blessed favorly for He has chosen me...
Yes, I am my Father's chosen child,
The one He nurtured as life went wild.
He forgave me, He loves me,
I know it's true,
More wonderful my friend,
He loves you too...

- I Am Thankful
Written By: 2wings
I rise up in the morning to God's grace,
thankful of all surrounding this place.
I share my mornings with God and nature,
Studying His words, for wisdom is sure.
His truth brings peace, His grace is love,
How joyful my journey toiward home above.
A squirrel taps upon my door, a bird sings,
All of God's blessings,
to me He truly brings.
Yes to be His child, chosen before time,
Selected an nurtured, not always in line.
His will commands my future with assurance,
Confidance, love, forgiveness
glide as a dance.
I see His wonders around me and
I feel His love,
He sent me His Son from Heaven Above.
Carrying His cross, bearing my sins of ole'
For every moment given, I am Thankful.

- My Gardener, My Lord
Written By: 2wings
Like the flowers of my garden left
dorment and cold,
preperation and nurturing brings
radiant colors so bold.
Anticipation of new growth
delight my heart so joyous,
I'm made new with my Lord,
abiding in Him so Glorious.
Bless You! My Gardener, My Lord!
He waters my soul with His blood
to refresh my mind,
removing the weeds of sin,
He leaves tranquility behind.
Pruning all that which has withered and over taken,
Delicately He restores, desiring
none be forsaken.
Praise You! My Gardener, My Lord!
Yes His wonders in my garden grow,
uplifting my heart,
Transforming new life abundance,
for sin he will depart.
Henceforth, I too blossom in His knowledge,
grace and love,
As I am prepared on earth,
I'll flourish in Heaven Above.
Thank You! My Gardener, My Lord!

- Psalm 23 Explained
Written By: 2wings
February 17, 2007
The Lord is my shepherd: That's relationship with God!
I shall not want: That's Supply!
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: That's Rest!
He leadeth me beside the still waters: That's refreshment!
He restoreth my soul: That's healing! (makes new)
He leadeth me in the path of righteousness: That's Guidance!
For His Name Sake: That's purpose!
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death: That's Testing!
I will feel no evil: That's protection!
For thou art with me: That's faithfulness!
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me: That's discipline!
Thou prepares a table before my enemies: That's Hope!
Thou anointest my head with oil: That's consecration!
My Cup runneth over: That's abundance!
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
That's Blessing!
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord: That's Security
Forever.

- And God Laughed
Written By: 2wings
February 17, 2007
The warmth of summer brought forth a tiny new child.
Parents planned for the future, then beamed with a smile.
And God Laughed...
Community service jobs or a ballerina I'm sure that I'll be.
Day dreamed plans from a child who's turned just only three.
And God Laughed...
Impressions brought forth by grade school and neighboring friends.
Perhaps I'll be the President or a famous star were my big plans.
And God Laughed...
I said to myself.. I am going to be a famous Rock-N-Roll star,
Traveling the world, sharing my music and I'll play a guitar.
And God Laughed...
My first feeling of love awakened the innocent heart of a teen.
Marriage plans were ahead for us, or so I continued to dream,
And God Laughed...
Colleges open the doors of learning for any career that was ahead.
Dreams of wealth and power were mine, as I laid there on my bed.
And God Laughed...
Married now, must start making plans for my own family someday.
Nothing can stop me now or would dare to even get in my way.
And God Laughed...

- Heavenly Love
Written By: 2wings
February 17, 2007
Your heart open, honest and free,
As Jesus' light hath chosen thee.
Wonderfully forgiven, merciful test,
Pathways chosen He's done the rest...
The glory of our Father in Heaven,
Through His Son our grace is given.
Cleansed to purity, washed of our sin,
Glorious kingdom spirits lead us in...
Praise you our Lord on eternities flight,
Guiding us home, sheltering into the night.
Tenderly watching somewhere up above,
Nothing compares to His Heavenly Love...
A Valentine Blessing
By: Judith A. Warren-Wright
Greet one another with a kiss of love.
Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

- Yet To Be Found
Written By: David Devaney
February 15, 2007
I wish you thanks my special friends
For each day I have known
Since placing you within my heart
I've never been alone
Through wars of devastation
And nights that would not end
No matter what the time or place
Sweet memories would blend
Of passion and true ecstasy
And laughter heard out loud
Of moments restful by the sea
Beneath a billowed cloud
Of walks along a rivers edge
And through a forest green
Of desert mountain memories
Where music was the scene
Of moonlit nights upon a knoll
That reached a mile high
Where I could wish upon each star
That filled the winter sky
Of conversations that we'd share
Of life yet to be found
And dreams of midnight fantasies
That would our hopes astound
Of real success, true happiness
And friendship that is pure
Having limits, none at all
Of this I am most sure
So now as I do recollect
The beauty of my time
It's thoughts of you within my heart
That makes my life sublime
