This past Sunday at Wildwood, our Senior Pastor, Bruce Hess, preached on the topic of contentment from Philippians 4. As a part of that message, Bruce read a poem by Jason Lehman. Many have indicated that they wished they could see the poem again, therefore, I am posting it here on my blog for you to see it and reflect on it again.
It was spring,
But it was summer I wanted.
The warm days,
And the great outdoors.
It was summer,
But it was autumn I wanted.
The colourful leaves,
And the cool, dry air.
It was autumn,
But it was winter I wanted.
The beautiful snow,
And the joy of the holiday season.
It was winter,
But it was spring I wanted.
The warmth
And the blossoming of nature.
I was a child,
But it was adulthood I wanted.
The freedom,
And the respect.
I was 20,
But it was 30 I wanted.
To be mature,
And sophisticated.
I was middle aged,
But it was 20 I wanted.
The youth,
And the free spirit.
I was retired,
But it was middle age I wanted.
The presence of mind,
Without limitations.
My life was over.
But I never got what I wanted.
I wanted to write you the bit of rmarek to finally thank you very much as before on your wonderful opinions you’ve discussed on this site. It has been pretty generous with you to offer extensively exactly what most people might have advertised for an e book to generate some money for themselves, most importantly given that you could have tried it if you desired. Those tips likewise served like a good way to realize that the rest have the identical zeal like my own to know a great deal more with regards to this issue. I am certain there are lots of more pleasant moments in the future for individuals that read carefully your blog.
