Just Walking and Talking with Jesus

Just Walking and Talking with Jesus …

There are times,

when the blues,

come upon me, so discovered a great way –

to make my day.

Venture out into nature,

pick a path,

that brings contentment.

Venture forth with Jesus by your side,

down the path I go,

I see laughing children at play.

Jesus, I say what a joy it is,

to see them all so happy.

I don’t expect an answer,

but I know my companion,

is surely listening

and that is enough for me.

We walk on,

on both sides of the road,

tTrees are whispering,

in the gentle breeze

and I say,

Jesus how wonderful it is,

that when the wind blows through the trees,

it’s as if they have found a voice.

I can hear their whispers

and even if I don’t understand,

it makes me feel so much closer –

to the mighty trees.

Soon birds fill the skies

and I look at their majestic flight.

They spread their wings

and soar with ease.

Jesus how great it is,

That you’ve created birds

that can soar to the highest heights,

which I can never achieve.

The sun grows a bit warmer

and I can imagine,

my understanding and patient companion –

smiling at me.

Down by the river,

where the Daugava flows swiftly,

I see upon the choppy waves,

seagulls bobbing.

I say, Jesus how lovely the river looks,

sun reflecting tiny diamonds on the water.

The seagulls in contentment,

dancing upon the waves.

Wonder what it would be like,

if I could join them,

perhaps become light as a feather

and dance across the river,

As always I marvel at the clouds,

there up above,

sailing across the skies –

in different shapes and sizes.

Jesus how wonderful it is,

to gaze at the clouds,

I see so many wondrous things there –

sometimes people, sometimes creatures.

Jesus could it be,

that when I see faces,

they are those of my dear ones –

Looking down on me?

We move onwards

and soon I’m back home.

Suddenly my mood has changed

and a burden has been lifted.

I feel good again

and I say, thank you, Jesus,

for taking the time,

to walk and talk with me for a while.

Never expecting to get an answer.

I know He understands.

but then the clouds shift

and a brighter warmer light appears.

I know my companion,

has heard all I’ve said,

I know He’s glad I found the comfort –

I needed through Him.
