COMMON GROUND - FOR - ALL - OF - US.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

( This is written for a FRIEND )

On many corners - we can see them -
Lonely hearts - who seem to congregate -
With their own kind -
The prostitutes - and drinkers - misfits - of all -
That ' good society '  would distain - and throw away -
Or leave behind .
Sadly - they too discriminate - and hold at length 
Those who don't  quite fit - into their mold -
Or share what they consider - 
Yet to be - of a likely mind . 

So - how can Common Ground be sought  -
To cross the void - and build a bridge -
To reach the ones - the ravages of life -
Have cast aside ?
May I suggest - a bended knee -
And tears of recompense -
And a turning of the head - towards -
The Only ONE - Who really knows - and cares 
For HIS Creation -
Global -Wise.

And - Who Is That ONE ?

He is the Good SHEPHERD - Who leaves the ninety nine -
To go in search of one - who is now lost - and strayed -
Outside HIS care .
HE will not rest - until HE knows that - that one soul -
Is back - secure and safely  home at last -
Away from reaches of the - tiger - lion or bear .

But - GOD is still a Gentle-Man - who will not force HIS will 
On anyone who will not yield - in humble aquience.
But - like the father of the Prodigal - HE waits -
In constant longing - ever waiting for a glimpse -
Of the returning - of HIS son -
When coming home - in trusting - penitence .

And then - Great Joy - when all the dirt and degregation -
Of the past - is washed away -
And as it disappears - like liquid sludge -
Free flowing - gone forever - down the drain .
The lost soul - as was - can stand up straight - and tall - 
As Son and Man - 
Accepted - Honoured - Cherished -
With - his self-Esteem restored - intact -
And whole again .

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

John 14 : 6  tells us ..
Jesus said' I am the Way, and the Truth , and the Life . 
No-one comes to the Father , except through Me . 

I pray many 'Lost Souls ' will find the Way home . 

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

God bless you today and always .
With His love . Stella x
