Footsteps of blue,
means the ice is cold.
Stopping outside,
is being bold.
The pot near the rainbow,
is full of gold.
The world is changing,
so I'm told.
It's going so fast,
it's got me feeling old.
Only when I need to,
Age, it's making me Bold!

High and tall; Ezekiel 17:22 ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: ‘I myself will take a shoot from the very top of a cedar and plant it; I will break off a tender sprig from it’s topmost shoots and plant it on a high and lofty mountain….. 17:23 it will bear fruit and become a splendid cedar.’
