The Lord of heaven can fill my heart
I’m just waiting for His reign to start !
TEARDROPS ( 2018 ) 2018/03/27
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 !
THE SPRING WILL COME ( 2018 ) 2018/03/18
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 AM I GOING ( 2018 )
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 !
RAINDROPS ( 2018 ) 2018/02/19
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 )
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
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
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
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 VALUES OF LIFE ( 2018 ) 2018/02/08
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 ?
