Oh how I wish the world could be
A place that’s bathed in sympathy
Imagine how much joy we’d see
If all were cloaked in pleasantry ?
AIR, EARTH AND SKY ( 2019 )
A little bird whispered to me
The secret of eternity
Have faith in God and trust His word
It is the best that all have heard.
We cannot doubt, we must believe
Have hope in Him, we shall achieve
Each has a goal, no two alike
From aged man to little tyke.
Like every flower that will bloom
With varied scent to fill each room
Or all the wings that fly on high
To reach our Lord in distant sky !
ONE LAST LOOK ( 2019 ) 2019/06/28
I find myself out on a limb
Is there some one to let me
How shall I save myself on earth
What is the value of my worth ?
I know that God is always there
And that He hears my every prayer
I’ve tried so hard to do what’s right
Each morning, noon and through the night.
My clock is running out it seems
Like all my hopes and all my dreams
The time is now to close the book
I wish to take this one last look !
EVERY GIRL AND BOY ( 2019 ) 2019/06/27
A special bit of heaven came knocking on my door
And sounded so familiar, I’m sure we’d met before
Oh my dearest child, you are a wonderment to me
Please come visit me again whenever you are free
I pray that you will share all the laughter and the joy
That God does offer gladly to every girl and boy !
NOAH’S FAITH ( 2019 ) 2019/06/26
The storm, it thunders all around
With ne’er a silence to be found
The light’ning crashes in the dark
Illuminating all in spark
Its odor makes the air smell sweet
As rivers flood through every street
I wonder if old Noah feared
The wrath of God when it appeared,
Those moments when the clouds did burst
Do you believe that he felt cursed
Or was his faith in God so strong
He held no fear his whole life long ?
GOD’S COMMAND ( 2019 ) 2019/06/25
Oh my dearest angel wherever you may be
My arms still long to hold you ever close to me
The years may come and go and never shall we meet
Until the final day, perhaps on heaven’s street
And if that day can’t happen, I shall understand
That all I have prayed for falls under God’s command !
AMEN.
ASK GOD’S HELP ( 2019 ) 2019/06/24
The dreams we dream may disappear
As lives mature and change each year
Becoming hard to carry on
When hopes and fears are set upon
As lives are left in disarray
When problems all their faults display.
The foolishness of life may be
The wealth of insecurity
Or lack of faith in fellow man,
Failure to do the best we can
We must try harder to succeed
And ask God’s help to fill our need !
EQUALITY ( 2019 ) 2019/06/23
The rain it tumbles to the ground
There’s not a dry spot to be found
The wind it whips among the trees
Embracing all the sodden leaves
The morning’s light turns into dark
The air about is still and stark
While clouds do pass and fade away
In their circuitous display,
The seasons change from day to night
Without a single goal in sight
How simple all our lives could be
Accepting God’s equality !
THE IMPURE ( 2019 ) 2019/06/22
My heart is full, it overflows
Clear from my fingers to my toes
Devoid of malice, free of fear
Anticipating one more year.
I think of Noah and his clan
For this is how our lives began
His holy cause for one and all
Because he answered his God’s call.
I sometimes think we’ve lost our way
With Satan’s help from angels stray
Truth is that I cannot be sure
Who does embrace all these impure !
GOD’S SONG ( 2019 ) 2019/06/21
I know You Lord, You speak to me
With every measure I can see
There from the treetops in the air
From rooftops, birds now perching there,
On every branch in every tree
Each bird sings his own song to me.
How beautiful this life does seem
With all God’s creatures in each scene !
FOR YOU AND ME ( 2019 ) 2019/06/20
I love You Lord, please take my hand
And lead me to the Promised Land
Show me the path to Latter Days
That I may follow in Your ways
Each child that listens soon will hear
God’s loving Message on his ear
Trust in the Lord, He will not fail
The world is His, each hill and vale
Like every thing the eye can see
Is made by Him for you and me !
AMEN.
VICTORIOUS ( 2019 ) 2019/06/19
This man reviled by all the press
Who came on board to fix the mess
His name will live in history
He saved this nation for the free
And time alone shall tell the tale
So many stories to regale
Have faith that in the end we’ll see
His name will mark our victory !
HERE AND BEYOND ( 2019 ) 2019/06/18
I often think it’s sad that we
Must live with each infirmity
Yet it may make us stronger now
If we could learn the why and how
This life is not a sack of dreams
Filled with a mass of wasted schemes.
It’s real, it’s here, we need take care
This is a concept all may share
God offers us a second chance
To live, to hope, to circumstance
It’s up to us to carry on
The Lord’s our strength here and beyond !
IN UNISON ( 2019 ) 2019/06/17
My hearing has become acute
I hear a flutter on the roof
It sounds like angel wings to me
Accompanied by symphony
Oh ecstasy, how my heart sings
In unison with angels wings !
LOVE PROVIDES ( 2019 ) 2019/06/16
A garden is that special place
Where hope and fear meet face to face
Where dreams are made or fall apart
And courage wins when tears depart.
An island in a lifelong storm
Where each must to their strength perform
A place of peace where God resides
And answers prayers and love provides !
I BELONGED ( 2019 ) 2019/06/15
Oh little birds you crowd my door
What is it you are waiting for
A bit of bread or cracker crumbs
That from my kitchen table comes
Leftovers from a berry tart
I meant for you right from the start ?
I want to share my feast with you
The way most thoughtful persons do
The Lord above has taught us this
Some joys in life we must not miss.
Perhaps one day when I am old
And all my senses have grown cold
You’ll sing to me your old time song
Reminding me that I belonged !
AMEN.
AN EMPTY CHAIR ( 2019 ) 2019/06/14
Each time that I sit down to eat
I notice there’s an unfilled seat
It’s been like that for quite awhile
I don’t feel ready yet to smile.
I wish your laugh and wisdom’s word
Were still the pleasantries I’d heard
For times have changed, you’re gone away
I miss you more, day after day !
Who’d ever guess that I should be
Alone at last upon life’s sea,
I never thought that I would share
My dinners with an empty chair !
GOD’S OPEN DOOR ( 2019 ) 2019/06/13
The sun comes peeping o’er the hill
The day is white and bright and still
Each morn brings us another day
Another chance to thank and pray.
How wonderful God’s plan has been
Allowing all to scurry in
We don’t need any special gift
To help us smile or spirits lift
He’s always there with open door
How can we ask for any more ?
HONOR IS FOREVER ( 2019 ) 2019/06/12
Memories last forever, we can’t forget
Years may disappear so much to our regret
There gleaming through a twilight that will not set
If we chance remember with no ending yet !
AMEN.
THE PROPER PATH ( 2019 ) 2019/06/11
Oh little lamb you are so sweet
God loves to smell your roasting meat
He’s rather fond of incense too
With scents of flowers red, pink, white, blue
And all the candles that we light
To chase the darkness of the night.
How simple it can be to show
The proper path that we must go !
HERE LAST NIGHT ( 2019 ) 2019/06/10
When I was young and but a child
Our hearts ran free in woodlands wild
I’ve watched our days fade fast away
As little children fail to play.
We have another purpose now
To Satan’s wish we all must bow
What’s happened to our future bright,
It vanished silent here last night !
GROW WINGS AND FLY ( 2019 ) 2019/06/09
Oh how I wish that we may speak
If I were strong and not so weak
And had a chance to beg the Lord
That we might be of one accord
Thus sleep with God and bird, may I
Perhaps one day grow wings and fly ?
SEEKING COMFORT ( 2019 ) 2019/06/08
We love You Lord, and beg of You
Give each the strength to see life through,
This dearth of help that now may be
The darkest night we’ll ever see,
Or longest day we’ll ever know
As in our lives will sadness grow.
Because of You, we’ve traveled far
To reach the Comfort that You are !
AMEN.
PERJURER ( 2019 ) 2019/06/07
There’s too much to remember, how do we forget
Beginning with December, days of deep regret
But now a battle’s brewing in our own backyard
We’d better pay attention ere it goes too far.
Wake up before it’s over, it will be too late
The demon’s wrapt in culture, please anticipate
Strip them of their power and put them in their place
This is the final hour, uncover their disgrace !
BEWARE.
6 – 6 – 4 – 4 ( 2019 ) 2019/06/06
Of all the days that I recall
This one’s the very best of all
The day that freedom had its chance
Somewhere along the coast of France.
Remember well the days we knew
An ugly war that we’d been through
With moments when we understand
True life is not a sleight-of-hand.
Let’s make the best of what we’ve got
Pray that we will forget it not !
SACRED MEMORY ( 2019 ) 2019/06/05
This day to me is just so real
I can’t explain quite how I feel
My heart so full I think t’will break
There was so very much at stake.
Ten thousand lost upon that shore
Who t’were not seen forevermore
My heart cries out, I cannot bear
The deprivation we did share.
How many dreams were lost that day
How many hopes were snatched away
Oh God above, please hear this plea
Vouchsafe this day of infamy !
GRATEFUL PRAISE ( 2019 )
I hear a warbling in the brush
And to my heart it brings a rush
There is no sound that’s more complete
Than nature’s voice ever so sweet.
Our God communicates with us
In every way a Parent must
And guides us all to our best days
Let’s show our gratitude with praise !
MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE !
BLESSING OF HIS LOVE ( 2019 ) 2019/06/04
Of all the words that have been writ
There is but one that covers it
Of all the feelings man does know
There is but one that all must show
For love it is that grows and glows
Straight from our minds unto our toes
And brings to each that God-like worth
The blessings of His love on earth !
