May the gift of giving be with us each year
As the sounds of Christmas fall upon our ear
May the joy of loving bring each one great cheer
While true faith in God diminishes our fear !
STANDING BY ( 2019 ) 2019/11/01
I stand by God and all He means
He fills my heart and all my dreams
He is my Hero over all
I answer ever to His call
It matters not where I shall go
For I am His till end times show !
A SIMPLE THANKS ( 2019 ) 2019/10/02
I’m sure there is so much to say
To help us all save every day
With plans in place to find a way
To thank the Lord without delay !
ALL YOU DO ( 2019 ) 2019/09/26
Oh precious Lamb, You are so sweet
This world is kneeling at Your feet
You are the world’s bright shining Star
All that we hope and dream You are.
The times we knew are fading fast
Have we the stamina to last,
What must we do to prove to You,
Praise God and honor all You do !
SATAN’S MOB ( 2019 ) 2019/04/30
There is this silence that I hear
It rests so peaceful on my ear
My heart is quiet, all’s at rest
I find this part of day the best
The streets’ deserted, all is calm
Please welcome in the morning’s charm.
Another day, another chance
To perhaps take a second glance
Discover what the world needs now
Let’s do some good, some way, somehow
For if we don’t, who’ll fill the job
Some volunteer from Satan’s mob ?
THE JOY OF LOVE ( 2019 ) 2019/01/09
There is a joy that loving brings
With laughter and a smile that sings
A twinkle that does cause the eyes
To shine and light the darkest skies.
Keep positive in all you do
Remember lessons taught to you
Thank God each day for every gift
Beg Him to all your spirits lift
Take care you are divorced from spite
Continue prayers both day and night !
A GIFT FOR YOU ( 2018 ) 2018/11/22
Oh Lord, dear God, let not my weakness show
Oh Lord above, help all my strengths to grow
I’ve been Your servant for most of my life
Through pain and sorrow, abundance of strife.
You’ve taught me how to be humble and fair
To give all I’ve got and something to spare
The words in my mouth and deeds that I do
All of this my Lord, is a gift for You !
GOD’S ENTITY ( 2018 ) 2018/09/14
I see the rain now tumbling down
Like teardrops rushing to the ground
The Power it accompanies
Is Parent to all plants and trees.
How splendid is the light He brings
To all of this world’s living things
For even mountains rise with time
While valley levels will decline,
How wonderful it is to be
Creations of God’s Entity !
6 / 6 / 44 ( 2018 ) 2018/06/07
In memory of
All those we loved
Who died that day
So far away
When after all
We still recall
The price they paid
For bringing aid
And peace to those
Who never chose
To start this war
Whatever for !
MOST GRATEFULLY ( 2018 ) 2018/06/02
Oh how I wish that there might be
An angel watching over me
To keep my life safe from great harm
Or when I err, sound an alarm.
Perhaps an angel on standby
To comfort me if I should cry
Or if the night is extra bold,
Warm hands to shield me from the cold.
Perchance if I wish hard enough
The path ahead won’t be so rough,
Whatever help God offers me
I shall accept most gratefully !
I’M NINE ( 2017 ) 2017/10/07
Each day I wake, I thank the Lord
Because I find I’m still onboard
I’m not too sure if that’s a gift,
Until life’s haze begins to lift
I check to see if I’m all there
My fingers, toes, my face and hair
Both arms and legs are working fine
On a ten scale, I’d guess I’m nine !
GREEN GODDESS ( 2017 ) 2017/03/11
When I look out and see her there
Our Liberty with greenish hair
So grand and strong reminding me
We have remained land of the free
Far longer than two hundred years
Amidst hurrahs and raucous cheers.
But now we are put to the test
To do what we know to be best
Thus save our nation from distress
And for the rest our foes impress
Our job’s ongoing, working hard
Protect ourselves and thank our God !
SPECIAL FORCE ( 2016 ) 2017/01/20
Oh what a place this nation is
Full of vim, vigor, pep and whiz,
Like bottles of rare bubbly wine
From grapes of joy grown on the vine
Transformed to champagne in our lives
Granting all goodness that revives
Ask that one Special Force above
To bless us with unending love !
THE LOSS ( 2016 ) 2016/06/11
I love You Lord, I know You see
That I have placed my faith in Thee
Though time has passed I feel the loss
And why You suffered on that cross !
THANK YOU LORD ( 2016 ) 2016/03/31
I thank you Lord for all you’ve done
Not just for me but everyone
I’m grateful for Your help and care
And glad that You are always there.
I know You are the keeper of
My heart and mind from up above,
That all I have You’ve given me
And all I am belongs to Thee
EASTER SURPRISE ( 2016 ) 2016/03/22
The day is coming it’s almost here
Hold onto your hat, let out a cheer
Here comes the spring bearing a new year.
The sun is shining, we’re warming up
About to partake of springtime’s cup
Time to thank our Lord ere we do sup !
PLEASE GET ME THERE ( 2015 ) 2015/10/17
The air is brisk, the day commences
And energizes all my senses
Another chance with true hope in store
To reach the goal that I’m striving for.
I sure could use the Lord’s help and care,
If He doesn’t mind, to get me there !
I’M GRATEFUL ( 2015 ) 2015/10/08
I am a child of God, I am
Through all my years, He’s held my hand
I’ve treasured life, not all of it
Times were I searched through bit by bit.
There’s still much that I need to fix
The good, the bad and nature’s mix
I speak to Him, I’m sure He’s there
I’ve leaned on Him and sought His care.
One thought that must each life enhance
Be grateful for that second chance !
HEAVEN’S GATE ( 2015 ) 2015/07/16
I envy not your lives to come
Now that my own is almost done
I would not walk this way again
To feel the loss or hide the pain.
I thank our Lord my time has passed
I know not how my heart did last
And move to that which is beyond
Without a will to carry on.
Somewhere within this universe
Bide powers that are too perverse
They creep and crawl and lie in wait
To bar our way through heaven’s gate !
TOO GRAND ( 2015 ) 2015/05/27
Bright skies of blue with clouds of white
God’s perfect picture of delight
From azure blue to deep sea green
Painted waters lie in between
While flocks of birds fly overhead,
With sheer emotion left unsaid
True this must be a gift received
That’s far too grand to be believed
ONE BIG KISS ( 2015 ) 2015/01/13
The raindrops trickle down the pane
Small rivulets of falling rain
They gather on the window sill
And tremble with a magic trill.
The song they sing is pitter-pat
Sometimes it’s sharp and sometimes flat
It flutters like a fairy’s wings
And to my heart a love song sings.
I’d like to know who thought of this
And give Him one enormous kiss!
IN ACCORD ( 2014 ) 2014/12/13
I dare not teach you how to live
Or how much of yourself to give
I only know what I’ve been taught
That self respect cannot be bought.
To feel so good and love the Lord
To follow Him with one accord
Accept that He is always near
I’m not afraid for He is here !
DEFENSE ( 2014 ) 2014/11/19
The demons that we cannot see
They’re our immortal enemy
They own the stage it is their act
I wish we’d get our mojo back !
But we must walk on tippy-toes
Because these devils are our foes
They’re bound to keep us on the fence
God is our help and true defense !
SIMPLE JOYS ( 2014 ) 2014/11/08
I try to keep myself quite occupied
And free from traits of vanity and pride
Preferring to embrace those simple joys
Of loving kindness, happiness and poise !
For in my life this is what I have found
Tis best to keep one’s feet upon the ground
Forsake the envy hiding in each heart
And grateful thank the Lord for His new start !
THE ARK ( 2014 ) 2014/07/27
Old Noah was an honest man
Who followed God’s exact command
It made no sense to build that boat
No one was sure if it would float !
Then after all those tedious years
Rife with derision, jokes and jeers
The day arrived to pack the space
With creatures from just everyplace !
Now if you thought the ark a chore
To fill it would take so much more
Corralling that exotic strife
Would be the effort of his life !
But Noah’s band stuck to their gun
They needed food for everyone,
Almost five thousand years ago
As Genesis has told us so,
His years nine-hundred-fifty were
Thank God for him, our forefather !
AN AMERICAN ( 2014 ) 2014/07/06
A lifetime promise I shall keep
To speak with God before I sleep
This vow I took when I was small
The reason now I don’t recall !
It had to do with truth and lies
Seeming foolish and being wise
I can’t be false while pledging true
I’m partial to red, white and blue !
About me here I spy the face
Of many that have earned disgrace
They have small faith in who we are
And won’t enhance our rising star !
SUNDAY MORN ( 2014 ) 2014/04/20
Good morning sun we meet again
One feels your warmth upon the pane
We hear the sounds of creatures small
As one by one they coo and call.
How strange it is to wake this way
And greet the world at start of day
With little thought upon the mind
About the futures we may find.
Tomorrow can be time suffice
To do the work and pay the price
Today’s the day to take awhile
And thank the Lord with one huge smile !
HANDLE WITH CARE ( 2014 ) 2014/02/13
Life has taught me so many things
To walk with God and sup with kings
To speak with angels and the saints
Enjoy the pictures nature paints,
To love myself and show respect
To souls who suffer from neglect,
To treasure peace and do my part
To heal lifes pain and ease the heart.
This precious gift I wish to share
Bears this label, “handle with care”
I pray I will not fail this cause
God help me please to tame my flaws !
