ORIGINAL ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©

When we have the ability to walk the streets without fear,

To pad through the glory of the environment with wild abandon,

To soak in everything within our grasp with no ties or bondage,

To persist in spite of all the darkness which the evil one stirs up,

To breathe the fresh air of God’s creation and observe its magnificence,

To hold the little things in life dear and precious,.

We have experienced deliverance from the world run amok.

We are free from the restraints of a sick society that dwells on self,

We are unentangled and able to express our ideas, creativity and dreams.

Without fear of recrimination, but with freedom to stir the imagination,

We can fly to great heights, soar with the eagles,

Reach the pinnacle unknown, yet within our grasp,

While still feeling secure and safe,

Free from the tyranny of self serving individuals,

Alive with confidence, assurance, determination and hope,

Knowing that we are saved eternally,

Simply by believing in the freedom already won for us,

By God’s own Son.
