ORIGINAL ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©
Like ships that pass each other in a sea of discontent,
We seek a different way – a way to reinvent,
We think of starting over, but that thought is now too old,
We’re weary of the struggle, too tired to be so bold,
Our thoughts now turn to peaceful days, a time to rest and reap,
The bounty of our working years, and catch some needed sleep,
But life reminds us otherwise, the harvest has been spent,
Demands of life continue even though our backs are bent,
We search for a safe harbor, a place where we can go,
When time takes youth away from us, where peaceful waters flow,
Our Lord comes to our rescue, He gives us such a place,
He died to make it possible and gives it with His grace.
About atimetoshare.me
As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension.
I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog.
I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ.
My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

Amen. The image of a safe harbor is always a welcoming place. Kathy, your verses complement Paul’s painting in a beautiful and peaceful way. The harbor takes me to my wife’s hometown with its own series of docks.
