Just beside the door..                                      ♪ Fulfillment ♪ 

~ Beside The Door ~
A Front porch is a haven, between the world and me
Somewhere I can contemplate
Just how it ought to be 
The front fence and the flowers, sweetly hedge me in,
So I can view it all
Before the day begins
 
I hear the gentle zephyrs, stirring in the leaves
I feel the warmth upon my face
The humming of the bees 
I gaze into the heavens, the clouds, the pretty sky
I do not seek the questions
But close my eyes and sigh
 
I hear the roar beyond, the ways of beast and men
Peacefully I rock
With Jesus, my best friend. 
And thus I am content, I couldn't ask for more
Than to sit here, close to heaven
Just beside His door.

"Find some quiet, private time, just you and the Lord Jesus every day. Allow yourself to slow down 
and relax. Take a mental break, talk everything over with Him. You'll gain the benefits of a 
quiet mind and an inner smile."

~ A Front Porch ~
A front porch is a window
From where we see divine,
Gazing out to see
Beyond the call of time

A front porch is a dear old friend
Cozy, comfy, soft
That we have chatted with for years
And visited so oft.

A front porch is a shelter
From winds that chill us through
Somewhere to draw aside
To secure a better view

A front porch is a gathering place
To sip tea and converse
Mull upon the world's events
Or write a cursive verse.

A front porch is a guardian
It holds such secrets close
The years of life and family
That we enjoyed the most.

~ Our Peaceful Porch ~
 
You and I sit, so peacefully together
On our own sunny porch
Being as we are, you and I
In the everlasting we are living for.
 
Your kindness unfurls gentle warmth
 In all you say and do
God worked His very best
When He made a friend so true.
 
I think I must be especially blessed
And now I know 'tis true
As God chose that I should have
Such a lovely friend as you.

Some friendships
are as comforting and comfortable
as a well worn pair of shoes
Others are full of excitement and adventure.
The best ones are laced with laughter
and softened with tears and strengthened
with a spiritual bond

~ On The Front Porch ~
 
Today as usual,
you were on my mind
Hovering in my thoughts
Singing in my heart- as you do

So much so, I ought to
tell you now, today- let you know
I am thinking about you
Like I often do
 
I felt you close, your hat
your book, left here upon my bench
content to say
all you meant...then
a pretty little butterfly
came, intent
to stay.....

Where do you come....how do you know
what is the beauty of eternity
you bear
on wings of care

Sitting on my Front Porch-
by Janet Martin
Sitting on my front-porch with loved ones at my knee
Drinking in the music of the twilight's melody
Tiny sip of glory is this evening paradise
Sitting on my front-porch
 as my Maker paints the skies
Picture
Hummingbird and firefly and busy honey-bee
And little children's laughter
 joins in Heaven's melody
Tiny splash of paradise
has dropped from Heaven's brush
Landing on my front-porch
 in this sacred evening hush
Lemon tea or lemonade either one is fine
Sitting on my front-porch
'neath the shadow of His vine
Picture
Picture
Somewhere in the valley, 
I can hear the cattle low
The pasture-land lies golden-bronze
beneath the sunset's glow
Faintly I can hear the church-bells 
chiming down the street
Beyond the noisy traffic
 and the muffled busy feet
Sitting on my front-porch, 
this my humble palace grand
Apartheid to an orchestra
led by Heaven's hand
Picture
Sonny, grab your silver spoons
so you can keep the beat
I'll play my harmonica
while sister taps her feet
Standing on His promises, 
praising Christ the Lord
Sitting on my front-porch 
I desire nothing more

 ~ My Friend's Front Porch ~
 
My friend has a very cozy porch 
Where I am meant to be
In their heart, their memory
I am continually
 
I know my friend loves me
And I love them as well
Today's the very day
Of friendship I will tell
 
And though I cannot sit
Upon their porch today
We'll be comfy in each other's hearts
With love that's here to stay.

My friend...
I open wide the gate, 
walk along the lil path, 
up the clean white steps,
the door is open wide
I turn then, just enough
and there sitting.
waiting,  is my friend,
knowing I would come.
