The Lord of heaven can  fill my heart

I’m just waiting for His reign to start !

Sometimes I believe that raindrops are tears

Falling from angel eyes

Reminding us that angels also have

Dreams not yet realized !

LOVE UNBURDENSOME ( 2018 ) 2018/03/19

Oh curly top, oh curly top

I wish that I could truly stop

The thoughts that roll around my head

About the moments aft we’re dead.

I’d like to think that we all sleep

Until the hour tis time to reap

The future that each one deserves

Depending on how well we’ve served.

I’m sure God loves us one and all

As we who answer to His call

There will be space for all who come

To share in love unburdensome !

 

THE SPRING WILL COME ( 2018 )

The sky is clear, the air is calm

Our springtime thoughts are like a balm

All cozy soft, a tender touch

This reaching out or feeling much

The spring returns once winter’s passed

Not even frost forever lasts !

HIS PRAISES SING ( 2018 ) 2018/03/17

Oh blessed Lord, please hear my plea

And whisk this pain away from me

To all of those who cannot cope

I beg you fill their hearts with hope,

And for the lost, please light the way

So they may seek a brighter day.

To those alone help them find peace

And from despair grant all release,

Come fill our souls with freedom’s ring

And to our God, His praises sing !

 

LOVE AND CHARITY ( 2018 ) 2018/03/14

Ler’s close the door and move on up

Tis time to taste another cup

We need to give peace one more try

And take a chance before goodbye.

Like all the options we have had

To choose between the good and bad

Let’s opt for dreams that might come true

And grant to all a better view

Of what God wants our lives to be

Full of both love and charity !

 

 

 

HIS LARGE FAMILY ( 2018 ) 2018/03/11

I’ve seen the ravages of time

And watched the world we know decline

Observed the truth just melt away

And begged our Lord to help us stay

As faithful as we all may be,

A part of His large family !

 

JUDGEMENT CALL ( 2018 ) 2018/03/10

It seems that I am often caught

Among the ethics I have taught

The nuances we have displayed

Or values by which life is made

The causes that are pro or con

The themes we’ve based our lives upon

The book of rules that guides our choice

The feelings that command our voice

Our God is there to share it all

It is His final judgement call !

 

FOREVER HIS ( 2018 ) 2018/03/06

Along life’s road I lost my way

I’ve traveled far, I learned to pray

Twas there I found my greatest gift

The love of God to heal and lift.

I’m not alone and just like you

I’d like to see my dreams come true

While all the wishes I conceive

Are not the ones I may receive.

Whatever God decides it is

I’m sure I am forever His !

 

THE FAREWELL ( 2018 ) 2018/03/05

I hear the sounds of early morning now

Somewhere in the distance, a mooing cow

With traffic passing on a busy road

The whir of truck tires with their heavy load

The predawn mist that finds it’s meant to stay

On a day that seems dark and dullish grey

As the tides roll in they all crash ashore

Just to wash away what was here before !

 

SING HALLELUJAH ( 2018 ) 2018/03/04

Oh sing a song and sing it loud

The words must rise above the crowd

Oh sing it strong, elucidate

Learn all the words, don’t hesitate

Let voices rise in chorus true

Sing “Hallelujah, Christ” to You !

 

 

 

 

LIFE COMPLETE ( 2018 ) 2018/02/28

There is a mystery I know

About our Lord who loves us so

He’s kind and true and loving too

A model of Christian virtue.

He oversees our daily lives

And for our freedom ever strives

Oh what I’d give to see His face

Gladly accepting His embrace.

But better still I want to be

A part of His vast company

And sit there waiting at His feet

Now this would make my life complete !

 

 

 

EMPTY GRAVE ( 2018 ) 2018/02/21

I hear a tune it croons to me

A half forgotten memory

The vestige of what used to be

When you and I were young and free.

The time’s  long gone, it passed us by

Too late to query, wonder why

The heart remembers so do I

Tis the moment to bid goodbye.

The blessed Lord who guides our way

And taught us each from day to day

His wisdom reaches out to save

This lonely soul from empty grave !

 

 

 

 

MY MOM ( 2018 )

Not long ago in this same place

The last time that I saw her face,

Today’s the day that I recall

The darkness of death’s knell did fall.

How sad that we shall never greet

Or hug and kiss when e’er we meet

I am so sorry that you’ve gone

We’ll catchup soon, it won’t be long !

 

HER LAST KISS ( 2018 )

Today’s the day I lost my friend

It seems the pain will never end

There is no way I can replace

Her kind and gentle smiling face.

She made me feel all warm inside

I was her precious joy and pride

It seems that we were meant to be

Best friends through out eternity.

Well here I am, it’s still the same

This hurtful, ugly nagging pain

I guess I’ll learn to live with this

The memory of her last kiss !

Where is it that I find myself

I’ve wound-up here upon the shelf

As obsolete as one can be

Just waiting for eternity !

I see the mist of morning glide

Across the window pane outside

It’s frosty glaze has slipt away

To seek another hideaway

Her tiny pellets drift about

They look to scout some other route

I wonder what each journey finds

As through our lives the raindrops wind !

 

THE WINTER WIND ( 2018 )

The wind comes rustlng through the trees

And whistles wildly mongst the breeze

It echoes up and down the streets

Embracing everyone it meets

The cool night air is muscling in

Tis time to take it on the chin

The Ides of March will soon be here

Lets try to keep our options clear

The winter wind must fade away

Before the spring will come to play !

 

 

HEARTBEAT ( 2018 )

Filed under: POEMS.....THOUGHTS.....MEMORIES — bogdanosclaire @ 2:43 pm
Tags: , , , , ,

There is a spot close in between

The here and now and what has been

We take our place, we fall in line

And thank our stars we turn out fine

A tumble down, a caution there

A humble thought, an anxious prayer

I love you Lord, I always will

Until my heart at last is still !

 

GOD’S GRACE ( 2018 )

Oh little one all meek and mild

My dearest, sweetest tiny child

With wonderment and joy and grace

You light the world round your dear face !

I’ll try my love, remember well

In times to come our story tell

And pray the Lord will gracious be

To guide us through eternity !

 

 

 

BENDED KNEES ( 2018 )

Now here I am, just washed ashore

My spirit shaken, body sore

With life a wreck and purpose blind

What future is there I shall find ?

The path I follow seems so dark

I do not spy the smallest spark

And need your comfort, if you please

I come to you on bended knees !

 

THE WAIT ( 2018 )

Well here I am alone at last

Safe from the winter’s stormy blast

A child of God too soon grown old

Who took the path not paved of gold

And followed Him along His ways

Until the ending of all days

And now I wait to learn the score

Has it been worth the waiting for ?

 

WATCH MY BACK ( 2018 ) 2018/02/13

Filed under: POEMS.....THOUGHTS.....MEMORIES — bogdanosclaire @ 4:51 am
Tags: , , , , ,

Sometimes the world seems quite enraged

While I am far from full engaged

With all the trappings we require

To feed our hearts smallest desire.

What’s happened to old fashioned ways

Like the joy of unfettered days

Help me please to stay on the track

I need some one to watch my back !

 

 

IT’S MY DISAPPOINTMENT ( 2018 ) 2018/02/11

Filed under: POEMS.....THOUGHTS.....MEMORIES — bogdanosclaire @ 2:27 am

There are times when I think of the past

And all of my dreams that failed to  last

I recall quite well what used to be

When life held moments of ecstasy

And a precious love faithful and true

Along with that which was called virtue,

And I ask of myself what comes next

There’s no hope left for some grand pretext !

 

 

GOD’S LOVING CARE ( 2018 ) 2018/02/10

Filed under: POEMS.....THOUGHTS.....MEMORIES — bogdanosclaire @ 10:43 am
Tags: , , , , ,

I’d like to think that freedom’s free

Available to all who see

This land of opportunity

I want to dream that freedom bides

Throughout this place and on all sides

Where tolerance and truth resides.

I must believe that faith is real

Not just an effort to conceal

Hypocrisy of what we feel

I need to trust God will be there

To see and hear our every prayer

And keep all in His loving care !

The winds of March are queueing up

Before life brews its final cup

The tedium of time is here

Each destination looms unclear

Perhaps tomorrow each may learn

The heritage that we have earned ?
