The atheists say we are fools
There is no God nor any rules
Their evidence seems very hard
But as for me I’ll opt for God !
AMAZING ( 2015 ) 2015/05/21
The Christmas stars are in the sky
They last from August through July
They twinkle bright and travel round
Their numbers grow and do abound
I find my curiousity
Increases with all that I see.
If only I were oh so smart
Instead of thinking with my heart
Perhaps I could then understand
How this old world was built so grand !
GOD’S VICTORY ( 2015 ) 2015/05/20
It seems to me the world about
Is filled with anger and with doubt,
Each day begins with a clean slate
As we move nearer to our fate.
I’m grateful every time I rise
For all the beauty of His skies
And all the wisdom that is free
To understand God’s charity.
I must believe He loves us all
The young, the old, the great, the small
And willingly accept that He
Is rooting for our victory !
OUR VICTORY ( 2015 ) 2015/05/06
Some might think that I am foolish
Or even that I’ve lost my mind
I am not known to be churlish
Not spiteful, silly or unkind.
I have no wish to tarry on
Or try to take up too much space
Please note, I am no paragon
Quite long ago I learned my place.
Our lives should be more simplified
With cause for no great mystery
We live by faith and faith implies
Our honor is our victory !
ALL WE’VE GOT ( 2015 ) 2015/05/02
Your happy dreams are always there
You simply need to know just where
The searching can be half the fun
Even when being done by one
True happiness comes from the heart
It only needs a smile to start.
Remember when it rains all day
The plumpest worms come out to play
Thus birds and chicks all gather round
And chirp a song with joyous sound
Reminding us no matter what
Our memories are all we’ve got !
AWAKE ( 2015 ) 2015/04/30
Reach out, reach out, I cannot grasp
I feel my life escaping fast
Hold on, hold on, your turn is near
To face the Lord pray without fear.
Awake, awake, the hour has come
This journey long will soon be done !
THERE WILL BE FEW ( 2015 ) 2015/04/28
Close up the door turn out the light
The fire rages through the night
The world is mad it’s lost its way
There’s nothing more that one can say.
The mob has turned into the norm
Their anger has become the storm
Like Sodom was so long ago
The story told, who does not know.
Why have all been so very blind
There is no answer left to find
It’s too late now life’s gone astray
The end is here you’ve had your day.
Begin again as all must do
With millions gone there will be few !
RED WHITE AND BLUE ( 2015 ) 2015/04/24
I have walked by the side of the road
As the Lord helped me carry my load
I have treasured the words that He spoke
Though my spirit’s been bent it’s not broke.
I have wandered across this great land
With its vistas all spacious and grand
Like the lady who lives by the sea
Holding the torch of our liberty
And I know in my heart it is true
I adore the old red white and blue !
WHATEVER MUST BE ( 2015 ) 2015/04/21
I have been to the top of the mountain to seek my destiny
I have walked through the valley of shadows to find my clarity
I have begged of the gods above me to silently hear my plea
There on the altar of justice I accept whatever must be !
CONVICTION ( 2015 ) 2015/04/17
There is a dream that comforts me
That one day I shall live to see
The power of our God will be
To loose our chains and set us free !
ADVENTURE ( 2015 ) 2015/04/15
I’ve traveled wide across the sea
To feed my curiousity
I’ve been to lands so far away
In places that I chose to stay.
Along the ridges of the cliffs
Or edges of the ocean’s rifts,
The wonders that are ours to taste
Like cultures we must not erase
Fill this old world with magic spin
And beauty we may revel in,
With so much more that’s yet to come
In God’s expected new kingdom !
A FARMER’S PRAYER ( 2015 ) 2015/04/13
The sun was hid behind the hill
It’s glimmer rose both bright and still
And warmed the air in its ascent
While hope to its surround was lent.
Be grateful that this winter’s gone
Allowing us to carry on
There are so many tasks to do
Lets tackle all not just a few.
We’ll say a prayer that this will be
A season of fertility
Perform the best way we know how
To till the land and tend the plow.
OH MOSES ! ( 2015 ) 2015/04/08
The picture that now greets our eyes
Perhaps too soon will don disguise
To hide away its plan perverse,
Destroy our dreams or even worse.
The time has come there’s no delay
To take a stand or kneel and pray
To beg our God He take command
Ere we are slaves in our own land !
GREAT PLANS ( 2015 ) 2015/04/05
My heart has wings, my spirit flies
Today will be a bright surprise
The air is sweet, the sky is clear
I know the grace of God is here.
So long ago on one dark day
Great plans were crushed and cast away
But rose again in truth to tell
This prophecy we all know well !
NEARER NOW ( 2015 ) 2015/03/25
There is great wisdom in the thought
To treasure all the lessons taught
Those stories to the children told
Of leaders wise and heroes bold
With roots steeped in our history
Filled with great hope and mystery.
This saga of our faith and dreams
Believing now much nearer seems !
EMPTY CUP ( 2015 ) 2015/03/23
A little bird, you know the one
Invites me now to have some fun
Entreating me to hurry up
And try to fill my empty cup
With something more than wishes and
A hug, a kiss or joy’s glad hand.
But I’m afraid he’ll have to wait
For God and I, we have a date
And stuff, it just gets in the way
There’s no time left for aimless play !
A MESSAGE ( 2015 ) 2015/03/22
Today I wish to say a prayer
For those who are no longer there
I miss you all and pray that you
Are in a place where dreams come true.
The good book says we rest in sleep
There are no memories we keep
Perhaps this is the best of all
As we must wait for God’s recall.
If I do get a message through
Remember please, I still love you !
BRIEF RESPITE ( 2015 ) 2015/03/21
If I were a snowflake where is it I would go
Me and my companions, into high piles of snow
But oh can you imagine what great sights we’d see
Drifting from the heights on each town or small city.
We are all different no two alike or same
There’s no way that heaven could give each one a name
I think it’s quite exciting gliding wide and far
Snowflakes must have visited even with the Tzar !
They fell on every mountain and covered all the trees
They whistled in the wind and crackled in the freeze
There is so much beauty in all this pristine white
I thank you God but now I’d like a brief respite !
GOD’S SYSTEM ( 2015 ) 2015/03/16
The wind has wings you cannot see
It gathers leaves from every tree
It shuttles snow across the sky
And corrals the spores that soon fly.
Each bird that rises on the wing
Will travel on its whispering
While seeds that have in season dried
Must speed to fine some niche to hide.
This is the way God’s process works
Part of His scheme and all the perks !
THE START ( 2015 ) 2015/03/15
Today I feel completely free
I pray there are no strings on me
Where e’er I go, what e’er I do
To my own self I shall be true !
I’m sure that God is by my side
He knows the truth and if I lied
I have been blessed in many ways
He loves me and accepts my praise.
I thank our Lord with all my heart
My life is His right from the start !
VISTAS ( 2015 ) 2015/03/11
I had a dream the other day
I dreamt the winter washed away
Oh what a joy and sweet surprise
There’s no more snow to greet the eyes !
Let’s on with rain and flowers bright
In colors that astound the sight
The bounty that the winter brings
Are vistas where God’s beauty sings !
BIT BY BIT ( 2015 ) 2015/03/01
I keep myself so busy
There is always work to do
Sometimes I feel so dizzy
That I take a break or two.
My life is full of meaning
And I pray it stays this way
With God to do the gleaning
There is faith in every day !
LET’S PRAY ( 2015 ) 2015/02/28
Life is always changing
It never stays the same
The rules keep mutating
It’s like a futile game.
We are growing older
But wiser every day
Bones are growing brittler
More fragile every way.
The story must soon end
It’s finish now quite clear
Come hold my hand dear friend
Let’s pray and have no fear !
QUIET LIGHT ( 2015 ) 2015/02/21
I haven’t thought too much today
What my life will be tomorrow
I’ve no desire to find some way
Where moments beg, steal or borrow.
I have no dreams of afterlife
Or hope that soars to distant height
I search for peace absent of strife
A world bathed in God’s quiet light !
CYCLE OF LIFE ( 2015 ) 2015/02/13
Life is a giant mystery
All twists and turns, no victory
A winding path that’s gone astray
And often seems it’s lost its way.
It prowls the street when darkness falls
And answers when each morning calls
It spins itself into the winds
To where all life again begins !
FUTURES ( 2015 ) 2015/01/31
I’m not lonely, how can that be
Since there is no one here but me
I am my own good company !
I’m sure the Lord’s forever there
He always answers every prayer
And whisks away life’s dark despair !
I know His love is there to give
To teach each one how to forgive
And help us all our lives to live.
The lessons learned there at His feet
Become the goals we need complete,
Fulfill our hopes and futures greet !
HEREDITY ( 2015 ) 2015/01/30
In homage to my dear grandpa,
I know his grave’s not off too far
But going back won’t help at all
My memory is still enthralled
I was a girl of twenty-five
When grandpa he just up and died
With wrinkled face and gentle eyes
Too late for us to say goodbyes.
Who ever thought that I’d recall
Those yesteryears when I was small
When I was young I used to sit
On grandpa’s lap and rock a bit.
I can remember that old chair
It sat beside the fireplace there
Like some carved wooden rocking thing
With all the joy those mem’ries bring
And when my children were so small
That rocking chair could hold us all.
My grandpa built that rocking chair
With his own hands and love to spare
Now that was very long ago
The time has flown but this I know
All that I am or hoped to be
Are part of my heredity !
THE PROMISED LAND ( 2015 ) 2015/01/23
As I see how my life is spent
My prayers rise up, they’re heaven-bent
I speak to God from day to day
And beg Him please to light my way.
Perhaps to lead me by the hand
One day into the Promised Land
These lofty thoughts give rise to fear
What happens if He does not hear ?
I’ll do my best to carry on
He is my hope when all is gone
No matter what, I love Him still
He is my heart, my soul, my will !
