We 9/29/85

We walked the roads today
In the autumn of this day
The corn is close to harvest
And the leaves are turning red

We talked of tomorrow
When my childhood home passes from my family
It leaves us to become home to another
And the leaves fall from the trees

We walked in our neighborhood
Our house we are making into a home
Seeing the children playing and adults working
And the leaves have reached the ground

We talked of the dreams of tomorrow
For the future we will build together
When time is ours to share
And the trees begin to bud.


Bought by God 9/30/85

I have been bought by God
He paid the price for my soul
I am free now, he accepts me
Yet I am not worthy of this gift
A sinner, I am, and will always be

And still God has paid for me
I will try to return this
But I am only flesh, and flesh is weak
He gives me the strength to continue
To win and the live for him

My God you have given much
For someone as unworthy as me
He sent his son, who died for me
And renewed the covenant with his people
I am one of his people, forever


Childhood Home 9/30/85

Remember when you were young
And played on the front steps
Riding a two wheel bike for the first time
Selling lemonade on the front lawn
Kick-the-can and hide-an-seek
Drawing with chalk on the sidewalk

There were elves in the big old elms
Playing in the water sprinklers on hot summer days
And climbed the plum tree in the backyard
Sandbox and swing sets to grow upon
And you played in the autumn leaves
You grew up, but still remember childhood

Wordspinner,
Mary Hauck
