It seems each road shall have an end
Without a lover or a friend
The seasons change or pass away
And move on by, day after day
The stars above fade aft each night
And disappear in morning’s light.
The sun will break its fast at dawn
While we are left to carry on
How lonely that one lifetime seems
With out its history and dreams
As all pass into the oblique
Deserting every quest we seek !
Tis sad the problem we now face
As members of the human race
The pestilence has taken hold
Of world wide fear, exceeding bold
To cover all the good and kind
That we’d the power here to find.
So simple when we understand
That life is ruled by God’s command
Accept His judgement every day
His sense of justice and fair play !
My dearest child, I miss your voice
I know there is no other choice
In times as these we need be strong
To caution’s cause we must belong
Be kind to those who’ve tried so hard
To keep the faith and walk with God
Remember always to be fair
That of God’s bounty all may share
Please grant us peace day after day
Help each to follow in His way !
AMEN.
The times are come, the words are said
The hope for peace too soon is dead
The evil that controls this earth
Is fighting now for all it’s worth.
The life we know from birth to grave
A gift from God, our souls to save
He does not fail, not ever still
For in the end, all do His will !
Too many dreams have come and gone
While life itself still lingers on
The days pass by, the candle burns
As years fly past, the earth still turns.
What was today now bids goodbye
And all that’s left, a quiet sigh !
Here in the silence of the night
One finds the courage and the might
Of all that’s proffered in His sight
By God whose judgement is the Light !
The northern winds are blowing now
They’ve lobbied hard across the bow
And times are changing every day
As life is waning fast away.
When is it we’ll get straight again,
Begin once more to act like men
Preserve our values and defend
Our Constitution to the end ?
Dear Lord, when pain is so intense
I turn to you for my defense
And beg You please to hold my hand
To bring me peace and understand.
There is nought else that one may crave
But act the hero and be brave,
The answer comes from God above
Who’s good and kind and full of love !
How often is it that we think
This world of ours is on the brink ?
What e’er occurs within our sight
No matter if it’s left or right
Should savour all despite the fear
God’s Judgement Day moves ever near !
The scenes of summer quickly fly
Like angel wings across the sky
Reminding all that life is fleet
And full of days both sad and sweet.
The memories of yesterday
Sometimes get lost along the way
The seasons come and then they go
For we shall reap as we do sow !
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 !
For all the dreams that we have dreamt
And all the wishes we have sent
With all the hope that we can raise
And all the prayers full of great praise
May God above hear our just plea
And include us in His mercy !
Whate’er we hear or see each day,
Integrity gets in the way
Truth comes at last, who is the Beast
That rules the world and all its Least ?
We certainly are gone quite mad
In truth, most citizens are sad
Hyenas rule at every gate
The Just are cowed and much irate.
Salvation seems quite overdue
How shall we know when dreams come true
Perhaps to pray as we’ve been told
Remembering God’s promise old
Each are His children one and all
Awaiting on His final call !
The lonesome whistle of the train
Keeps singing to my tired brain
The trip is long and nears its end
I’m ever weary, oh my friend
And what if we should never die
How could we then embrace goodbye ?
Each day I wake and thank the Lord
And pray we are of one accord
I beg we have but this defence
Our world is ripe with common sense.
Tis sad that we have yet to learn
Of all God’s blessings each may earn
It is not wishing makes it so
But how we act and think and grow.
If I should pass this way once more
And chance to knock upon the door
Perhaps you’ll welcome me because
It’s now we must serve common cause !
All through my life these dreams I’ve had
Some good, some sad with others glad
Like wishes I have made before
That often slipped under the door
To get so lost that all forget
This life has had no ending yet !
The time is still to come my dear
With climax that conveys no fear
Into this world I naked came
And when I leave twill be the same !
My passion lies askew and lost
To honesty, there is great cost
I am not sure I have that strength
Since my time is not of great length.
For presently, my age it shows
Although not yet in deep repose
However soon the shadows fall
When I receive that final call.
Upon whose shoulders it will be
I’ll place my cloak of destiny
Who has the will to carry on
This war I chose to fully don ?
I feel a chill that’s in the air
The dampness seems to curl my hair
Tis time to face another day
And push my early fears away.
How marvelous that God does share
Our heavy burden of despair
I am so grateful for this chance
To see beyond each circumstance.
I crave the comfort of His care
And feel His presence everywhere
Oh Blessed Lord, I beg of Thee
Please stay in close proximinty !
Seems truth keeps getting in the way
Of all the wisdom known today
I can’t accept just how things are
World ignorance has gone too far.
If this is all our lives shall be
I’ll opt for lack of parity
And pray that God who’s Judge of all
Comes to our aid before we fall !
My heart is heavy with the weight
That this world’s lost and in a state
Beyond its condemnation date
Perhaps, dear Lord it’s not too late !
The chance exists we may survive
And keep our hope and dreams alive
Your help and aid would earth revive
As mankind learns once more to thrive !
It seems to me that you and I
Are more than simply passers-by
We share our life with God above
And are the result of His love.
So much alike, yet none the same
In manner, gait or lifetime aim
How simple it all seems to be
With values based on equity !
There is one comment I have heard
About God’s Truth and Holy Word
It is the garment we should wear
The word of saints and those who care.
I love to amble through His Book
We need to take a deeper look
There’s not an issue left behind
It answers all and every kind.
I wish this world could take a break
And finally decision make
That God alone is what we need
To keep our faith and justice heed !
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 !
The stage is set, the curtain waits
With ticket takers at each gate
The script’s been writ, face-paint applied
While tension grows from deep inside.
Time for the truth to come on out
With neither whimper nor a shout
The simple facts are really best
Let’s leave the judgement to the rest !
I’d like to think that when I’m gone
This world about will carry on
Promote all hope or let’s pretend
That peace resides around the bend.
Of course we know this is not so
No matter where it is we go !
A kindly thought, a gentle word
Not either one would be absurd
Man and angel share one accord
True faith in God, trust in the Lord !
Sometimes the world is full of gloom
Its sadness darkens every room
The seasons change, they come and go
From springtime’s warmth to winter’s snow.
Days roll on by with no account
Midst tears and sighs in great amount
And justice finds it needs a place
To challenge evil’s false embrace.
What was has been and is no more
Once lost will never be restored
The saddest words that one can say
Oh Absalom, you’ve gone astray !
This is the first I can recall
I find my back against the wall
It all seems strange with no debrief
There is scant time to seek relief.
We flounder in life’s deep morass
Without the aid of skill or class
I wonder what the future brings
Along with normal happenings.
Shall we survive until the end
In need of courage and a friend
Let’s say the prayer we all know well
And to the Lord our wishes tell !
I’d like to think God’s on my side
When I begin to slip and slide
Perhaps e’en tumble down some hill
Like that famous pair, Jack and Jill !
How wonderful that we may be
A part of Christ’s own victory
When good will triumph over all
And destiny will not be stalled
Let’s all standup and cheer aloud
Be grateful we have joined His crowd !
