It is said that a man with no vision dries up as a clump of bones,
because he has no vision of life or talents that he should hone.
Instead he looks at everything that appears to be wrong in life,
shaking his head and fist at the world while nurturing his strife.
His future is more than likely just as unfruitful as his lonely past,
no hope that could lead to faith to change his lot that he has cast.
Many choose death as a so called easy out in their time on earth,
and people look on them as they see them searching. their worth.
Sadly they seem to all be looking for their meaning fom others,
many still longing , fantasizing and yet hiding under their covers.
Each day just represents to them more failure and great dispair,
wondering if maybe someone would rescue them over there.
However there is a promise raised to all after the great flood,
that came in redemption that was purchased in ones blood.
The promise of breathing life into breathless lungs is true,
by knowing that believing is all that one needs to really do.
To change all of this takes faith in the present and future for sure,
believeing in a goodness and forgetting a hopelessness allure.
So call upon your creator and forget all of the painful past,
this alone will allow you to find a true peace that will surely last.
What do we live with out..... when we are all but dried up inside,
and the dead sea has us and is taking us out in its strong tide.
Love is the answer that I would offer up to you and you and you,
and you know it is because many of us have seen what it can do.
Resist it and you will see your dreams and visions all quickly fade,
and you will all know inside.... that dreams are why you are made.
Embrace Love I say..... and you will see life in such a better way,
it needn't linger as it is because it can all happen for you ...today.
