M.E. "Eddie" Messick Sr.
July 30, 1948 — February 10, 2015
THE CENTER OF THE FLAME
In the center of the flame there is a hollow place
And nothing can burn in this sheltered space
For the fire builds a wall scientific fact claims
And insures a safe area in the midst of the flames
And in the hurricane's fury there's a center of peace
Where the winds of destruction suddenly cease
And this same truth prevails in life's tribulations
There's an island of calm in the soul's meditations
A place that is quiet where we're shielded from harms
Secure in the haven of a kind Father's arms
Where the hot flames of anger have no power to sear
and the high winds of hatred and violence and fear
lose all the wrath of their savage course
And are softly subdued as FAITH weakens FORCE
So when the fires of life burn deep in your heart
And the winds of destruction seem to tear you apart
Remember God loves you and wants to protect you
So seek the small haven and be guided by prayer
To the place of protection within God's loving care.
