In his day the opportunities were few; ‘Cause he served his country guarding freedom for you. He loved us so much – his children and his wife; And worked…

Whispers of Love

My love whispers without word or sound, Thoughts only your heart can hear.  My love whispers when our eyes meet,  Or, with a gentle touch, a warm embrace.  My love whispers when we’re far apart – The wind carries it to where ever you are.  My love whispers sweet thoughts and memories – So, listen, always listen, for my whispers…

Memories of you and I Speak softly from the bye and bye Words once spoken now are gone Another day another dawn Flowers take showers in the morning dew Precious moments spent with you Love like water overflowing Fills my heart and stills the morning – C. S. Craig

Pages and Ages

Down through the ages On all of history’s pages The story that still amazes Is that Christ died to save us  God inspires from Heaven above Silent words of justice and love So very compelling is the story Of the cross of Christ and His seat in glory Writing for the Lord I seek not fame Only to spread the…

Gravelords

Death belongs to the grave-lords of the endless night  Who chose their tabernacle of ruin minus light.  Refusing to believe and give Christ the reigns  They now walk in lust-fires tortured in chains.   In the glory of self-hood and worldly charms  They died alone in ego’s arms. – C. S. Craig

What will there be to remember When life has passed December When they dig the hole and put you down Was your life a cap or a crown Where are the signs of mountains climbed Where leads the trail you left behind Did fate cast them into the sea Buried deep the same as thee What will there be to…

Before Time

Creation

The mountains kiss the sky and the clouds embrace the mountains; the wind whistles and the hills echo it down to the valleys; streams of clear water chuckle in rhythm; bees humming their tune – the flowers receive them in bloom; the birds sing their love songs; the trees of the forest clap their hands – all nature is harmony;…

Wings of Night

As darkness settles on wings of night The fireplace warm and burning bright The children nestled under Daddy’s big arms Listening to words of mystical charm Stories from another time Real fantasy in the children’s mind Heroes and villains of long ago Stories of imagery we all know But Daddy’s voice soon fades away His words become whispers never meant…
