Thank you Sis, glory to God and it's really a soothing song to hear before sleep. Meant to get back to music work lately but couldnt because of sore throat and illness, I was sick for about 3 weeks and just today or so I started getting better. Had a sort of a mourning season overlapping with it. So the next song to come out might be one of mourning too.

I was thinking lately of our sister ChristIsGod. I got e-sword on my computer thanks to her and every time I use it I always think of her. I miss her and am hoping that she will be back after a timeout she needs. Putting this up as a reminder to pray for her and her family.

On a serious note..........the title of the thread caught my interest........"Needy Pilgrim." I thought of a couple of Scriptures to share with you.........hope that's in keeping with the intent of the OP......

Philippians 3:20 .) For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ

1st Peter 2:11 .) Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

2 Corinthians
5



1 .) For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 .) For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
3 .) If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 .) For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5 .) Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6 .) Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 .) (For we walk by faith, not by sight
8 .) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 .) Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

“Yesterday’s Dreams”

Too many long nights spent
Sipping coffee in a dim lit booth.
Trying to recall yesterday’s dreams,
Misplaced somewhere in search of truth.

Quietly watching lifelong strangers
Entering and leaving the place,
Waitresses serving loaded down plates of eggs and gravy,
Wondering why no one ever says grace?

There’s always a too loud drunk
And a not so sober clown.
There’s always a smiling lady,
And one more with a saddened frown.

There’s always a truck driver
Trying to swallow one more cup of joe
And there’s always one wall flower
Wishing he’d placed his order to go.

Too many long nights spent
Sipping coffee in a dim lit booth.
Trying to recall yesterday’s dreams
Long forgotten in search of truth.

p.s.r.

The NEEDY PILGRIM INN seems to be a place where the tired and the lost gather. A place to dwell upon the shattered dreams and broken promises of youth. I feel at home here. The coffee is good and the company agreeable. Something is cooking in the kitchen too...

I have peered into the window of the Needy Pilgrim Inn a few times and glimpsed at a few of the interesting musings so I thought I would come in and rest with my fellow pilgrims for a short while before I continue on my days journey, up and down the driveway.

As you can see the weather outside is frightful and has nothing to do with the word delightful and for a moment I wondered about Pilgrims of bygone days and about about Inns and Signs and thinking to myself what sort of an inviting sign might be hung outside of anInn such as this. Well one thought led to another and I ended up at ......The Project Gutenberg eBook of Old Tavern Signs, by Fritz August Gottfried Endell

"More beautiful still than these are the eternal signs with which Mother Nature, the only real teacher of all true artists, invites the weary pilgrim to rest: the moon, the gentle shining stars, and the blossoming trees under whose perfumed branches we sleep so sweetly. This is the oldest inn; the Germans call it “Bei Mutter Grün,” and the French speak similarly of “loger à l’enseigne de la lune”; “coucher à l’enseigne de la belle étoile.” Nobody has sung the charms of this natural inn more sweetly than the Swabian poet Uhland in his song, “Bei einem Wirte wundermild,” which we beg permission to quote in W. W. Skeat’s happy translation:—
“A kind and gentle host was he
With whom I stayed but now;
His sign a golden apple was
That dangled from a bough.

“Yea! ’t was a goodly apple-tree
With whom I late did rest;
With pleasant food and juices fresh
My parching mouth he blest.

“There entered in his house so green
Full many a light-winged guest;
They gaily frisked and feasted well
And blithely sang their best.

“I found a couch for sweet repose
Of yielding verdure made;
The host himself, he o’er me spread
His cool and grateful shade.

“Then asked I what I had to pay,
Whereat his head he shook;
O blest be he for evermore
From root to topmost nook!” "

I was up and out late last night with my new doggy friend and while he was about doing his sniffing thing I was doing my staring up into the starry heavens thing and marveling at the wonders visible and imagined. Don't care much for the mother nature concept quoted above preferring to believe more along the lines of :

Trees
By Joyce Kilmer

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.

Sigh....okay thanks for letting me stop by ...time to play ..outside..in the snow..with doggy.

My daughter and her friend were trying to negotiate with me what side of the basement I was to practice my songs for this weekend and what side they could play in (they are 10)....not sure why but all of a sudden...." I don't negotiate with terrorists" came out of my mouth. We all thought it was pretty funny and got a good laugh.:)

I know this is whipped up roughly but just to share what was in my head while reading. You are a talented songwriter, Sir.
(For new thread visitors, they should know that this is not a song about our inn though.
That's an inn that USED to be here before Jesus sent a wrecking ball and purchased the area.
I heard some moved to another location because they liked the old place though. As for me, I think the new one is much better and we always say grace, too :) )
