God, a man, and home
by LaNaye Perkins Its life began decades ago One man building a place to grow Rough hewn timbers were then hacked out Beams of oak so solid and stout Newspapers old to seal the cracks So winter's chill would be held back Children thrived being taught by love Parents sought God's wisdom above Time passes the parents are gone One child comes, then calls it home Their children raised like they were shown Reared in love new seeds being sown Once again the children moved on Parents remain till God calls home A new child now calls it home Third generation now is shown How God can show the way to grow Inside this house built long ago Its beams of oak hewn out by hand Tenderly crafted by a man His home was shielded by God's love And lives were guided from above These generations have stayed strong Because of God, a man, and home. ********************* From the beginning the Lord let me know I was to share whatever He inspired me to write. Now, over a decade later, I'm still sharing what He's given. -LaNaye Perkins Article Source: http://www.faithwriters.com |
