had me thinking...

hello?

hey!
hi baby
...so you just called to say hi?
...well hi to you too my love.
you know i love to hear your voice anytime.
don't think i'll ever grow tired of that.

so you're thinking of me huh?
...well there's no place i'd rather be you know?
well maybe there is a better place...
your embrace.
now there's a place i see fit on this chilly morning day.

hey, well now that i have you on the phone...
on my way to work this morning...
have I told you that you mean the world to me?
hmm?
yes?
good!
so on my way to work this morning
this semi-truck almost side swiped me to the other side
...the eternal side

and it got me thinking...

if i would be no more
If i were to abode down below
...would you still remember me 365 days from today?
would it matter?
did i ever matter?

you see i was musing...

what if things were the other way around...
if you left this world right now?
how would i mourn?

i picture this heavy bucket
loaded down with concrete mix
not yet mixed
no water
no shovel
just very dusty... as concrete mix is

...I behold myself roaming this earth
...clenched to this very heavy bucket
...filled with dusty concrete mix
tearing me down
keeping me down
it wouldn't leave me
just burden me all the day through

now i know i could have poured in the water
mixed it all up with my shovel
laid it on the ground, our ground
construct a foundation, our foundation.
it would have been solid
...
you still with me baby?
hello?
yes... good!
i love you baby... do you love me?... yes?
well that makes my heart glad!
i love you beyond words
...
see, i would have shaped our foundation
like an artist
on his very best day
it would have reflected the beauty
and glamour
that you possess
every curve
every shape...
inspired by your love
the love you have for me

so... uh...
i gotta go babe
you know... work

sorry about my all the noise you hear going on
...there's some construction going on across the way

they're laying a concrete foundation for a "new life" church I hear
had me thinking...
