the world i see… the occasional poem… thanks for stopping by…
Author: rutakintome
I married Ruth, my high school sweetheart, in 1983 and we have four children and 6 grandchildren. I have been the worship pastor at Mission Bible Church since 2004. We are located in Minooka, a southwest suburb of Chicago. I love singing, bicycling, music, Mahler, boxing, coffee, movies, The Beatles, sunsets, coffee, Mahler, the seashore, sunsets at the seashore, coffee, and… the seashore. Originally from New York, I grew up 15 minutes from the beautiful beaches of southern Long Island. I have a Fujifilm X-T5 that I use to capture the world I see. I also enjoy writing about the images that surface in my mind and heart as I work with the images from my camera. Thanks for stopping by!
so here we are again
another day has dawned
lets get it right today
and see what we’ve become
so here we are again
another chance to love
to give and not to take
to set our hearts on things above
dear God we need to hear your voice
let all the change i want to see
let all the change begin in me
dear God
please
change
me
listen
listen
can you hear this mother cry
her daughter is gone
such a sad sad song
she cries
it’s just all wrong
listen
listen
can you hear this daddy cry
he lost his boy
such a sad gray song
he cries
it’s just all wrong
oh great Light
have mercy now
have mercy now
mommy cries
have mercy now
have mercy now
daddy doesn’t know what to do
oh great Light
break through
oh great Light
break through
listen
listen
can you hear
the silence of the children cry
laughter gone
such a sad sad song
the silence cries
listen
listen
can you hear the heartbeat sound
you have life
so lay it down
yes lay it down
all around all around
the world is crying now
oh great Light
have mercy now
have mercy now
mommy cries
have mercy now
have mercy now
daddy doesn’t know what to do
oh great Light
break through
oh great Light
break through
i talked to my tears today
they had so much to say
as they left my heart
and painted my face
sometimes i’m torn apart
by this crazy race
called life
i talked to my tears today
they had so much to say
as i felt the weight
of my head in my hands
sometimes i can’t think straight
longing for love in the hate
in all the races that shine
so beautifully shine
i talked to my tears today
they had so much to say
tell me more of the me
that must be renewed
that must be
changed
transformed
rearranged
in the deep
by love from above
i talked to my tears today
they had so much to say
so i spoke about hope
that there is a day
when justice will come
pain will be gone
and tears wiped away
on the shores of that day
all nations will sing dance and play
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
do you have hope
do you have peace
do you
what is your why
did you rise with the light
has the light dimmed inside
angry again
did you let it go
will you finally forgive
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
does fear guide you
is unrest your norm
what do you worship
and what of love
did you lock up your heart
is love pain free
what makes your cry
where does the sorrow come from
do you feel
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
are you free
are you waiting
are you remembering
where do you look
where is your comfort
where is your healing
how are you doing
really
is there color in your step
a reason to see a new day
something to live and die for
do you know your worth
do you see your value
do you know you are highly favored
Springtime in the Midwest always has glimpses of the summer to come, as well as echoes of the winter we just left. Recently we have had summer like weather that beckoned to be enjoyed on two wheels. Looking forward to diminishing echoes and warmer days.
