What is the desire of your heart?
Is it something that sets you apart?
Is it a desire of this crazy world? A desire that can never be unfurled.
The soul lives on after death,
a spiritual desire would be best.
With that desire fulfilled,
your heart will never be stilled.

Audie Murphy a young farm boy from Texas
Joined the army, many calling him reckless
Growing up in poverty gave him many skills.
Determination and will to conquer many hills.
Through hellish war and lavish life,
Murph plodded on, plagued with much strife
Some saw him as a special being protected by God.
Murph saw himself on a lonely path he was given to trod.
He conquered because of perseverance and hope.
Due to his dear mother who taught him to cope
Life is never easy, the difficult decisions we have to make,
Leading us to our eternal destiny, wherewith God we will awake.

What can derail the best man-made plans for life
Most anything from an injury to unplanned strife
How can this be avoided one might ask?
Switching to heavenly tracks where one can relax.

Time is only relevant to your place on earth
It is completely irrelevant to your place of birth
As I move from one place to the other
My body grows accustomed to another
When my time ends here on this earth
I will return to my heavenly place of birth

Sharing or Caring which is the most important you might ask
They are both righteous tributes
It's up to us to perform the correct task
Sharing and Caring should be lovingly discussed
Then transferred to those in need gaining their trust
Trust is the most important I would say
Having the gift of trust almost anything you can convey

I still remember the days I Prayed for what I have now.
Never stopping, always keeping my hand to the plow.
Receiving much more than I ever deserve.
Always trying to encourage others to serve.
My Father is so good to me.
Offering life through eternity.

A beautiful red apple before me I see,
Is it from that famous forbidden tree?
That was such a long time ago
I don't think it could possibly be so
That being the case, a juicy bite I did take
I think it was alright, I saw no hissing snake

Here I sit all brokenhearted
20 years, I'm back when I started
Nobody cares, work my fingers to the bone
No one cares enough to call on the phone
Sittin here crying old crocodile tears in my soup.
Just jumping through the same old mindless hoops
Will this horrendous loop never ever end?
Getting off my butt, I might make some friends.
Well, maybe someday I will muster up the courage.
Finding friends that care for me, surely I will be less discouraged.

As the beautiful fall leaves drift to the ground
The beauty of comforting silence is all around
The aroma in the cool crisp air has an earthly sense
Helping to calm us and keep us much less tense
Fall is the forerunner of the future to come
Bringing us close to where the snow flys from
Anxiously awaiting the fresh breath of Spring
All is well, this will happen again and again

If you would walk a mile in my shoes what would you see?
You would see loving parents who always cared for me.
You would see those who always sacrificed for me.
Introducing me to Jesus who always walked with me.
Always gently guiding never pushing
having the freedom to be searching.
Through the many dark storms of life
walking with Jesus lessens the strive.
Never quitting whatever you start.
Building perseverance in your heart.
Perseverance leads to faith and faith to hope.
This combination broadens your spiritual scope.
What I am today is a product of where I've been.
Leading to a bright future, I'm proud to be in.
