Flow, flow

Carry on as you flow
Flow down, down, deep
Deep into the dark blue
As my hands cannot keep

Deep into the dark blue
Sail and slide away
Glide and glide away
Away flee as they flew

Across the dark blue
To where I do not know
But flow, flow as you go
As you wish, you will go

I wish you go and flow
To where I do not know
And down, down, deep
With you I flow and keep

Faithfulness

Will you be there beside me
When I won't be so loveable
When beauty has long faded
And the years long spent

Will you be there beside me
When the storm's blown full
And the wind beating and screeching
Should leave me pale and pall

Will you be there beside me
When I have lost all glory
And shadows loom in my eyes
Eyes of a sad, sad story

Will you be there beside me
As I breath my last
Alone and shivering as I gasp
Life slowly turning past

Will you be there beside me
When I'll have faded away
Not in mind and heart I stay
Dissolving, fading in the fray

And, yes, you are beside me
And, yes, I am happy
To have you just beside me
To share eternity

The Best Things In Life Are Free

If prices are soaring in the market, the best things in life are left for free. Thank God, they remain free, otherwise we would have to buy every ounce of air we breath, every glass of water we drink, every piece of earth we step on, and every sunlight that brightens the day. Yet how come I never stop in my day to day track to thank God for these things? Most of the time I just leave them for granted thinking they would be there forever, that I would enjoy them forever.

Relationships too are free. Our relationship with God is certainly free. Our relationship with others is also free, if we have the openness and honesty to enter into it. Our relationship with ourselves is very much free. Our relationships, while remaining free, needs to be nourished. We nourish it with companionship that shows you care, or with a simple smile that say's I'll always be there. But isn't it true that oftentimes we take relationships for granted too? We think that people will always be there forever, that we would keep them beside us forever.

Many things are free. All of them unmerited. Why not start to appreciate, take care, and treasure these gifts? Would it take a price tag for each gift before we can understand the value of the best things in life?
