We All Go Through It SCLH WRITERS... BY JACK FABIAN

Resting Have You Seen My Luggage? Life is a funny thing that happens on the way to the grave, And it happens by accident in almost every case. BY KENNY FEDDER BY PAMELA GEERNAERT If you’re a boy, it’s blue jeans n’ sneakers,

If you’re a girl, it’s satins n’ lace. Lord, here I am again today, in need of peaceful rest My vacation started on a happy note I decided to fl y instead of taking a boat And knowing who’s the source of peaced and whose advice is best Not long down the road you’re subjected to schooling, d With fears off in the distance, yet visions of the worst Which Mom n’ Dad hope will develop your brain. I checked in my bag’s and went straight to the line But you want to have fun and just play with the kids, A thousand voices crying out, my mind about to burst I read the latest rules posted on the big sign This, in time, will drive your parents insane. I look around for quiet, a calm and restful place Where I can sit and rest awhile and seek your smiling face So I took of my shoes, my watch and my belt Pretty soon you’re a teen with a mind of your own, And that’s when my patience really started to melt From the tiny atoms power, to oceans wide and deep No one else is as smart as you at this time.

The human ear so tender and eyes that close to sleep And this next line has nothing to do with this poem, I endured the x-ray and the body scan With brains that help us reason, we try to understand I just needed something to rhyme. And they threw my new lipstick in the garbage can The purpose of our journey, in line with your commands Now you’ve reached the age where it’s love at fi rst sight Now I see some cool green grass, that’s calling out my name. So I made it to Mexico, but my luggage isn’t here With every good lookin’ guy or gal that you see. And a rock on which to lay my head, so I will do the same It really has happened, one of my biggest fears Things at this point can get serious, be careful what you do,

As those who came before me, I’ll rest here on your love I know ‘cause it happened to me. That’s pure and changeless for all time, with mercy from above No toothbrush or clothes, not even a pair of shoes I knew at that moment I should have chosen a cruise I’ll close my eyes while smiling, remembering the past. Your working career takes all your time,

The way you’ve been so faithful, your love will always last. After all, you have to eat, and support your dear wife. Well it’s been a year since I got back in town Oh, and don’t forget the two little kids in the house, Through trials past and present, you met my every need But they still haven’t tracked my own luggage down You and your wife got careless, and created new life. When evil seeks to take a hold, your word still plants a seed Reminding me where help comes from, so I can truly know So if you’re in an Airport, and see a lone standing bag Now you’ve worked forty some years Please give me a call if my name’s on the tag Whatever may befall me, in fi elds of hope I sow. And you’re looking forward to when you retire. So I can harvest blessings, from the one who gave it all The problem is you have all these fantastic ideas, Then asked for me to join Him, just listen for the call. What you’re going to fi nd out is, there’s just embers…no fi re. He’s here and waiting patiently, amid the tall green grass. Come lay and rest a little while, where time will slowly pass. I’ve been through all the foregoing stages in life, No regrets, good memories, with the obvious signs of wear. Just gaze upon His beauty, with troubles round about I’m at peace with myself, and have no fear of dying, And watch them quickly fade away, of this I have no doubt But when it happens, I don’t want to be there.

My Child

BY KENNY FEDDER You learned true patience taught you from troubles, trials and pain And grew in knowledge of real love, you’ll never be the same I remember when your world was small; it meant turn left or right. As the little child who came to me and asked me what to do. Then watched your mind begin to grow, your choice was day or night. For now you teach what’s right and wrong, the light inside you grew. With great desire to learn new things, oh time was on your side. And so I truly want to shout, I love you more today. So you tried, failed, then got it right, with smile so broad and wide. You’ve made this world a better place and I just have to say And you wanted my approval, for everything you did I love you cause of who you are and who you came to be... Because I was your father and you were just my kid. A loving, kind and special child that means the world to me. But as the years kept rolling by, you made me oh so proud And yes my child, Christ loves you too and helped me guide your walk. Whether we were all alone or standing in a crowd. He waits for you so patiently and wants to have a talk You see, you have a loving heart and rarely think of self. About the special things you’ll do, as doors are opened wide When pride and ego rises up, you put them on a shelf. You’ll truly know the author of the love you have inside.
