Somewhere


Proverbs 13:12 

12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but a longing fulfilled is like a tree of life.

 

For every jar there is a lid ... for every pan a cover

Somewhere, somehow ... all gaps are filled

What we’re gonna git ... when it’s all over?

Somewhere, somehow ... we’ll understand it still

 

For every smile a tear ... for every laugh a cry

Somewhere, somehow ... there is a perfect balance

Levels of courage expose ... fearful principles in life

Somewhere, somehow ... life a constant challenge

 

In hope there’s uncertainty ... assurance misunderstood

Somewhere, somehow ... under girded by Life

Blinded by a world of plenty ... oft ignoring truth

Somewhere, somehow ... explained by my wife
