    I came across something today that I thought would be appropriate for this group:

    Quote:

    There’s a time I can recall – four years old and three feet tall –

    Trying to reach the stars and the cookie jar,

    and BOTH were out of reach.

    Later on in my high school it seemed to me a little cruel

    How the right words to say always seemed to stay

    Just out of reach.

    Well, I should not have thought it strange that growing causes growing pains,

    ‘Cause the more we learn the more we know

    we don’t know anything.

    But still it seems a tragic fate living with this quiet ache –

    The constant strain for what remains

    Just out of reach.

    I guess I shouldn’t think it odd until we see the face of God.

    The yearning deep within us tells us

    there’s more to come.

    So, when we taste of the divine it leaves us hungry every time

    For one more taste of what awaits

    When heaven’s gates are reached.

    I posted this 18 months ago and saw it again while looking for a different thread. I thought I would bump it up, since many here weren’t around to read it back in 2009.

    I love that CD – especially Tender Behind the Mercy.
