This place I’ve found
So long I’ve waited
Drifting around
I’ve been everywhere
I’ve seen many shores
It seems they never end
There’s always more
But for this I’m grateful
This precious moment in time
While I seep in this cleansing sand
This home will be mine
I’ll drift out to sea again
Where, I don’t know
But for right now
I don’t have to go
I’ll spread out my arms
I’ll hug all I can
And touch this place
On God’s precious land
Some days I’m mighty
Some days I’m small
Right now I’m breaking
At peace with it all
At Home again… Thank You Lord…

God's Little Apple Tree
By Jay Miller
I gave you a place to call home.
You spread your branches and flourished.
You were never alone.
For a scarecrow stood there beside you, to keep the birds away.
He did his best to protect you, until that sad certain day.
The clouds began to gather.
The winds began to blow.
Your trunk split open, you broke away, and why you went down I don't know?
I turned away and forgot you, as you lay flat on the ground.
You wept, you suffered, till found.
I saw the green in the springtime.
I stood you back up and then.
You started to flourish, again spreading branches; God restored your life again.
Stand and bask in his glory.
Show your gifts that you offer with praise.
You will live to bear much fruit for him.
He'll protect you the rest of your days.
