The Golden Years

12th June 1964 - 2014

The setting was a country church,

Euphoric and dignified,

The second Friday of the month,

There came a young June bride.

She sauntered slowly down the aisle,

In radiant white, was she,

Preceded by her bridesmaids,

Her flower girl made that three.

Beth, Gail and Linda entered,

Adorned in fine mint green,

Thereafter, came Patricia,

'Twas the finest sight e'er seen.

While waiting at the altar,

Escorted by his three,

Stood Glen, Ross, Carl and Murray,

Glen's face conveying glee.

Then there, the young Pat Karges,

In finery so grand,

Stood proud with Glen Doerbecker,

And vowed to take his hand.

In sickness, health and poverty,

All these you will have known,

Glen and Pat were bonded

And seeds of love were sown.

So now, this love that started,

Has been with you for aye,

Hence you are celebrating

Your Golden Wedding day.

Congratulations

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

Addenda to 'Who is this man'

Who is this Man Addenda (in blue) to an anthem by Mary Kay Beall entitled Who is this Man? sung in my home church choir a few years ago. Who is this man upon a cross By love's decree, brought low? They say He came to save the world Because God loved us so The King of Kings And Lord of Lords Eternally He'll reign Can it be true He died for me And yes, would die again Who is this man upon the cross? He is a friend to me And though I oft Him disappoint His love has set me free The King of Kings And Lord of Lords He took my sin and pain And yes it's true He died for me, But will return again

A Father's Blessing

As youngest son, I always sensed From many of the brothers, True or not, they’d put me down, I wasn’t like the others. A few days prior to passing on, A blessing I was giv’n From my beloved, aged dad, Before he moved to Heav’n. His health was failing faster now ...
