Heart Echoes

Life is made up of moments we call living. Some of these can be overwhelming, stark terror or exhilarating pleasure; but most are just “normal” everyday things. Sometimes one of these moments will touch your innermost being, and your life is forever changed.  Such has occurred in my life; and since, I have felt compelled to record precious moments in my humble, but liberal interpretations, as verses of poetry. These had remained mostly private moments until I shared a few of them with a close friend in a most difficult and trying time. Obviously an encouragement and comfort to him, I felt a “call” to share some of the verses with others. The result is what I call HEART ECHOES.

“for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh”. It is my fervent desire that these

touch you as they have me.

Randy Thompson is a southern country boy by birth. Born to parents with rural heritage, his roots run deep in the soil. A farm boy by choice, he lives with his wife in their country home on their farm.  As the son of a minister and pastor, their life has centered around the country church. Church activities have been routine for his family all of their life. A quiet and shy person by nature, he preferred to remain in the background with his thoughts to himself. But as is the case so often in life, a defining moment turned his emotions inside out, revealing a person even he never knew existed.  In an innocent sort of way, his thoughts and feelings are expressed in simple verses of rhyme.  It is with purpose that these verses are recorded.  His motto, “Capture your thoughts, write them down immediately, otherwise, they may escape into eternity unrevealed”; results in the HEART ECHOES.
