ART & POETRY BY PAUL & KATHY BOECHER©
The colored pencil sketch was done on the spot at the location shown. Paul always carried his sketchbook, either in his pocket or the glove box of the car. Like a camera, it was a necessary tool for his work. Someone once approached him as he was drawing and asked why he didn’t just take a picture. He said his camera was in the pencil. His knowledge of birds and wildlife were also built into his brain. We can learn so much from the creatures in God’s creation. How to work together to survive. How to not fear, but push on, even when it seems there’s no way out. How to communicate. How to share. How to evade predators. Humans are much different even though we think we’re superior. We often lose track of where we’re going. We don’t always solve problems together. We rely on technology for way too much. We give in to the masses when it seems we’re the underdog. Instead of placing our faith in our Creator, we try to one-up Him. What will you be today?
A family hatched a few months back, they now are set to fly,
The little one, the only son, would only live to die,
Survival of the fittest the remaining two pushed on,
Their home was not enough for them, there’s still work to be done,
To live in space too small for them, would never let them grow,
Respect is not therein you see, it’s one for one you know,
The birds that fly high over us, are not like us at all,
They live a different set of rules, they follow nature’s call,
But we are so much more than they, we should know how to act,
In harmony and peacefulness, let civil laws impact,
At least that’s what’s been planned for us, instead of take we give,
We push ahead before the pack, we choose the way we live,
Instead of working together, we separate and flee,
There is no real communion in trials that we bear,
What God intends for His people, is to live in peace and love,
He spared no cost when He gave us, His own Son from above,
We’ll never grow to understand or know what to expect,
Until the Son of God returns demanding our respect,
And on that day He’ll ask us if we know the reason why,
He shed His blood for all the world so they would never die,
Because of His pure, sinless self and for His love for all,
He paid for our redemption even though we fall,
There’s nothing in return He needs, His promises are true,
Have faith in His eternal love for everyone of you.
