Where oh where, is this road I seek
That leads a lonely heart,
to happiness peak?

Did the last one who passed that way
Remove the markers along the way?

Then I hard a voice from within me say
Was there a friendly smile,
you could have gave today

Was there a kindly word,
you could have spoke today

Was there a good deed,
you could have done today

Or a silent prayer,
you could have prayed today

Those were the markers you fail to see
And the ray of hope,
you had a chance to be

To the bowed down head of
broken lives

And there plea for love,
in tear dimmed eyes

When a word of cheer could have
made their day

And sent you happily on your way

True happiness, can not be
bought or sold

And its not something,
you can grab and hold

Its a Gift from God,
for the good you do

The peace and joy,
his love brings to you

If you share that love,
with those you meet

You'll find the happiness
that you seek.

Brother Gmack, this is awesome...You are a great writer and surely have a way with words...Here is one i did last year in my 360 blog, matter of fact it is the last one i did, can't believe it's been nearly a year since i have written anything...

GOD IS...(SOLEMANN'S VERSION)

God is my Savior in my ultimate times of need...God is my friend when others have forsaken me...God is my comforter who covers me with his everlasting warmth...God is my all and all weather i'm feeling small or standing tall.

God is my chef who feeds me daily with his words that nourish me and continues to let me grow...God is my drink of choice whom i can turn to, to quench my thirst with his many proverbs and scriptures.

As you can see God is many things to me...The list could go on and on, but God is a powerful God, a merciful God and the best part of all is that he is my God and my Heavenly Father.

God is there for me although i am a Sinner...You see we are all Sinners, but isn't it amazing that all we have to do is believe in our hearts that we can be forgiven for our sins and put our trust and faith in God.

As i step outside, Gods presence is being felted in the form of a gentle rainfall...As i look up the rain hits my face and it was in that instance that i see heavenly tears falling down...You see the gentle rain is actually Gods way of cleansing my soul...God is with me every step of the way and this i truly believe.

Let God guide your life, your hopes, your dreams for the rewards will be awesome indeed...As i close this Poetic Testimonial...I leave with these 3 profounding words.
GOD IS GOOD

Remembering Q

E.FM Radio Spotlight

Quincy Jones is thoroughly entwined in the musical background of my young adulthood. A genius of unique quality. I have been posting blogs and music throughout the years and decided to embark on the arduous but satisfying task of gathering some of it to remember the excellent legacy that he left.
