"Jesus is the only card I have left to play, but with that Card, I'll win the game." - Travis Allen 1981-99, Class of 2000, Auburn Adventist Academy

White. White as lilies
Red. Red as the beating heart
Blue. Blue as first place

A mole pokes his head
out from a tiny burrow
He worries like me?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
many birds take wing
fly up high in the sky and
set my wishes free
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Snow sparkles cleanly
Puffy clouds sail in the sky
As Pure as God's heart
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
A small mosquito
rubs his legs together then
He dives in - slap, scratch
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
liquid blaze of fire
red river of autumn leaves
a tree burns within
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Gold sits on Silver
Flow to the far Horizon
River take me away
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
straight palms soar up high
their leaves rustle in the wind
coconuts fall - ouch
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Dusk falls so softly
as I gaze into your eyes
They reflect my love
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
gold fire lights my view
Nature paints the canvas sky
reflected in my heart
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
blue above, below
green across my horizon
the colors of peace
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
with a slight caress
butterfly kisses a flower
it leaves warmth in me
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
pilings march to sea
as waves come caress the shore
perfect harmony
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
with wings spread wide
a hunter of the waters
come show me freedom
