        Ugh, another day, yet we’re still here,

        So many sorrows, tear after tear;

        Seeking tranquility, searching for relief,

        Awaiting comfort, but only finding more grief.

         

        Helplessly lost and lacking projection,

        Clearly confused having lost all direction;

        With wings fatigued and feathers on edge,

        The lone desire is to light on a ledge.

         

        To rest, to recoup, before reentering the fray,

        To find safe harbor without further delay;

        Though night descends and the wind becomes stiff,

        There’s still hope of nestling on some unforeseen cliff.

         

        Life is so hard, it takes such a toll,

        Every waking moment requires digging out of another hole;

        How much longer Lord, how much more?

        How much further before we reach that distant shore?

         

        Each day is so difficult, so full of angst and strife,

        It takes all of our energy just to get through another day of life;

        Holding on, hanging in, reaching out with all of our might,

        Seems to be a daily recurrence that’s just such an excruciating plight.

         

        Please come Lord, come sooner than soon,

        Rescue us from this toil so we can sing a different tune;

        We don’t want to carry on, we don’t want to hold down the fort,

        We’re ready to go, and that is our report!

         

        We know you are on the horizon — standing as a mountain so calm,

        An aggregate of rocks adorned with trees of palm;

        You are anchoring our paradise staircased up to skies so blue,

        And we really don’t want to wait another minute to finally be with you!

         

        Come Lord, come quickly — come fast!

        Gather us in the air to be with you at last;

        This life holds nothing for us except for suffering and pain,

        We have no need or desire to continue to remain.

         

        We don’t want to wait another day, today is just fine,

        We want to smell Heavenly scents of cedar and pine;

        We have professed our faith in you and we’re barely holding on,

        Come Lord Jesus, preferably before dawn!!

         

        I am soooooooooo ready to leave this earth!

        Your pal,

        Humbly

          oh, Humbly . .  no doubt your prayer wonderfully composed in the Spirit of  longing, sighs, and watchful essence . .  our Lord has spoken, and will speak His SOS upon us, to us, over us .~~~ , for His Promise IS  YESSSSSSSSSSS ~ ~

          ~    “Rise up, My love, My fair one, And come away. For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.  ~ ~Rise up, My love, My fair one, And come away!’”

          In ultimate love and care, one day soon Christ will say to His Church, “Rise up My love, and come away.”

                  My Friend – Donna,

                  That is brilliant quote from C. S. Lewis.

                  Wow!

                  Thank you Humbly — It does feel like each day is harder. But knowing that each of my sisters and brothers are holding on as well helps to keep the focus on our King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Can you just imagine our heavenly home is Righteousness, God’s perfect love, peace and joy…. The scepter of His kingdom is the Scepter of righteousness Hebrews 1:8 Soon! :prayer-hands: :yahoo:

                    My Friend – Humbly Irrelevant,

                    That is exactly how I feel.

                    Thank you.

                      Donna, So Ready, and Tammie:

                      I appreciate you validating what I wrote … that is why I presumptuously included the “we” part.  I figured that there had to be at least somebody else out there struggling with these same thoughts and inner feelings for which I have also been struggling.

                      Thank you!

                      Humbly

                          Scott — good to see you again my old friend.

                          Can you believe it, it’s been over 15 years.  Dang!

                          Pertaining to your statement …

                          “… we started together in 2007 and we will end together, hopefully sooner than later, no longer later then soon thereafter shortly, but much quicker then soon thereafter!”

                          … real quick, and to make this short, derived from grass roots lyrics, sooner or later Jesus will get you, sooner or later, Jesus will win! :yes:   It feels like we’ve had to wait a millions years just to live for today. I’m not sure if I’m making any sense in my midnight confessions about all those temptations eyes. :wacko:

                          Later pal, but hopefully sooner. :good:

                            I’m not sure why your posts are coming up blank. The systems usually requires at least one character in the text box in order to post.

                              Hi Yohanan , I think what I did wrong was while I was writing down my text inside the white box I was finding that the left column was being cut off from each lines as it continued to be typed, so in my haste I hit the small icon with the three dots on the left with three lines to each dot and it seemed to shrink the whole text while I typed and kept it inside the main white box,  I’m always having trouble with these new formats, and I am not tech savvy anyway, I need some guidance and if someone knows the old vintage Scarbie the dog photo which was on my old profile, could they get the image added back on again for the current profile, I don’t want to appear as one of those faceless grey aliens or a men in grey for my profile, some one lead me to the light

                                Humbly, I really digged your song lyric titles in your reply to my work, Time Won’t Let Me  get into a thorough analysis of your inspired Three Dogma Night, but in a casual ready of your insightful thesis I noticed that the Ink is black and the page is white, together we learn to read and write, don’t get me started with the Three Dog Night people :mdrmdr:

                                  My father is agnostic, and my Mama Told Me Not To Come, but we can still Celebrate because there will be Joy To The World due to Eli’s Coming — even though It’s Easy To Be Hard with what’s going on in the world today!

                                  Now, I’ve Never Been To Spain, but I have heard that in Shambala they sing Just An Old Fashioned Love SongJust As Sure As I’m Sitting Here, way Out In The Country, and you know that I’m not a Liar — Jesus in The One and He is coming soon to gather His Family Of Man!

                                  Stay strong!

                                  Your pal,

                                    Humbly you are still the most brilliant agnostic poet and inspired animal behavior expert on the internet today, but looking out my window  in can say It’s Just Another Day as the Two Of Us writing nonsense  waiting on tables until the Proprietor or Business Owner comes back to check on the employees  behavior especially after one had Came In Through The Bathroom Window, trying to get to work late on time, So they had to Get Back to where they once belonged ,  I think it was Something in the way they performed that got them written up  and  oh boy  They’re Going To Carry That Weight a long time,  and  Hey Jude or Jonny  was caught dipping into the cash register until Maxwell’s Silver Hammer Came Down On His Hand and he got repromand-ed  , and was docked in his Pay , and so he set at the Dock of the Bay when it was becoming a Turn Down Day and the Sun looked Like a Red Rubber Ball , and he finally got a Ticket To Ride , Cause his baby done wrote him a letter ,. Boy that’s a hodgepodge of song titles isn’t it good buddy

                                    Humbly you are still brilliant after all is said and done, but Time Won’t Let Me tell you all the things I have been through myself, but from what I read in your wise poem, the ink is black and the page is white, together we learn to read and write, don’t get me started on the Three Dog Night, wait -> write and Night rythme, awesome!

                                      You two will have your Seasons In The Sun but it’s all just Dust In The Wind. This is no Stairway To Heaven you know! And before too long this place will be a Disco Inferno and you two will be like a Band On The Run. There will be no more Peaceful Easy Feeling unless you are connected to the Spirit In The Sky, else it will be a Long Train Running! A Candle In The Wind is easily blown out so I hope you are Unstoppable through the Blood of Jesus Christ. Then, you will have a Large Time and Peace Of Mind as you sing to Jesus “You Are My Sunshine” and you will surely never Imagine saying I Left My Heart In San Francisco  or I have  Georgia On My Mind because you will be saying Oh Happy Day when you see Heaven and What AWonderful Life! It’s ALL about Jesus!

                                        Looks to me Yohanan that you have permission for the preverbial Mike drop , it appears you had your own journey to the center of the mind during the 60s era of music, but you don’t look that old in your profile photo, are you using an old photo? I myself, am I being redundent in saying I myself? Anyway I went through the who teenage rock era with all the British  Invasion bands on my little turntable stereo, but what changed me for the glory to come was the Jesus Invasion Movement of the early 70s, I was in a church that moved in the gifts of the spirit and we had believers who went out daily witnessing and giving our testimony to those  who were hungry for truth, not like today where there is almost no attention span for any difference of opinion or belief,  you could easily get assaulted out there on the streets today by just approaching someone, the love for others is growing so cold now, I even wonder if there still could be a final revival before the rapture, like in the parable of the two harvest with the last being at the end of the page, more likely during the tribulation then before the rapture, I think this Ashbury revival is effecting lukewarm christians then unsaved folks, but there is always a percentage of fallout of saving grace to those who see the spirit of God moving and hear the word of God in thes movements, I do believe there is some major house cleaning going on in the church which is stirring as the Holy Spirit senses the near return of the Author and finisher of our faith,. Funny how silly threads can bring out some very serious creds

                                          That profile pic is from Feb 2020 so not too long ago. I was 58. Most of those song titles came from the 70’s when I was in high school with a few from before. I tossed Unstoppable in for something more modern ……and because it seems to be a very common Instagram soundtrack 😁

                                            Yohanan you are the manna with the plan in his hanna, and if anyone canna then you are the manna, I knew a manna by the name of Stanna who said that he had faith and anything he wanted he canna, but times got harda and he pittled and farda, and turned away from the faith and partad, then came a time when got hard hearta, and came to a Rib shack that he could not Zarda, so he went Chinese insteada, and changed his name to Tedda, now he is saved and with the word of God he is well feeda,. What do you know I just made that upon the spot, I guess I have been away so long this stuff has been building up
