What would You do to save us from
The storm we know is soon to come
How will You guard us, help us rise
Above this hell that’s in disguise ?
We need You now, teach us to care
That we may all Your wisdom share !
SAVE OUR SOUL ( 2019 ) 2019/11/04
The dark of night moves in with ease
And snuggles till the morning breeze
The angels of the night will fade
And rest until the evening shade.
The dawn arrives to welcome day
The world’s alive and kneels to pray
God bless us all and make us whole
Improve our times and save our soul !
IMPOSSIBLE ( 2019 ) 2019/09/09
My morning thoughts are crystal clear
They help discern why I am here
How shall I know the path to take
To live my life void of mistake !
MAGIC PILL (2019 ) 2019/08/18
I’ve often wondered what it is I’d do
If I had the chance to begin anew
I’m not so sure that I should venture there
Without someone Special willing to care,
For life on one’s own can be a bit much
Especially if you have lost your touch
How I do wish that tomorrow may bring
Another day with a sweet song to sing
To open my eyes and give me the will
To reach out to God for His magic pill !
TO OPEN DOORS ( 2019 ) 2019/08/16
Seems I’ve not known the comfort of
A world steeped in God’s peace and love
There’s ne’er a day to pass us by
Without excuse for one to try
I’ve wished so long to understand
It takes more than a sleight of hand.
We need some hope that we may win
A fair chance to again begin
Or knowledge where the pitfalls are
Before we try to reach a star
What is it we are searching for,
God’s magic touch to open doors ?
SPECIAL TRUST ( 2019 ) 2019/02/09
I’d like to take this time to say
Thanks to you who helped share my day
And all who left while others stayed
Became my friends or passed away.
I’ll miss you all and hope you know
My prayers are with you as you go
Each one of you has taught me this
That life’s comprised of tears and bliss.
What matters most, as time rolls by
That we, in hope, good sense apply
For friendship is a crucial must
A gift of love and special trust !
SEARCH FOR LOVE ( 2018 ) 2018/07/15
We’ll smile a smile or sing a song
Join a chorus or laugh along
Please take a chance, what can you lose
How does one know the path to choose ?
The little child that each once was
Teenagers that will challenge cause,
The old, infirm or oddly gruff
Like those who’ve known a road more rough
These are what life is composed of
They dream of peace and search for love !
NEWBORN SPRING ( 2018 ) 2018/06/20
Today is such a lovely day
So full of Spring in every way
My mind is clear, the air has bounce
I need embrace it every ounce !
The buds are blooming everywhere
Their fragrance permeates the air
Oh what a joy our God does bring
To each of us with newborn spring !
WE ARE IN NEED ( 2017 ) 2017/12/30
There is great joy that words may bring
Words that can cause one’s heart to sing
Sweet words that need remembering
Like peace and calm and happening.
Those gifts conceived that cannot wait
Like ice cream cake on lacy plate
Or breakfasts that begin at eight
With maple pancakes tasting great.
Christmas stockings filled to the brim
When all our blessings are from Him
A helpful thought, a kindly deed
An effort sought for those in need !
WILL I BELONG ? ( 2017 ) 2017/05/18
One man he trod the road to peace
He prayed to God to grant release
And bowed his head unto the ground
Until some solace could be found.
He raised his eyes up to the sky
To see if heaven gave some reply
The wind blew hard, the rain it came
He cried aloud and called God’s name,
Forgive me Lord, for I’m not strong
One thing I ask, will I belong ?
ANOTHER DAY ( 2017 ) 2017/03/08
Who is there left for man to say
Come let us walk the Shepherd’s way
To join into His special flock
That from this place will evil block.
We are His army to command
That stand and wait on His demand
There is a job that we need do
We’ll begin now and see it through.
There is no other way to win
The world is dying heaped in sin
Help us, oh Lord show us the way
To earn ourselves another day !
TO THE FUTURE ( 2016 ) 2016/11/20
There is a task that we all must face
If we’re to rescue the human race
For what are we if not mortal men
Who’ve fallen down and shall rise again ?
There is a tall price that must be paid
For all of the plans that we have made
Twill take men of a greater calling
To ease the harm that’s now befalling.
This nation awaits in its dire need
For plans of our future to succeed !
GOOD DAY ( 2016 ) 2016/10/07
There is a darkness that I see
It gently closes over me
The shades of night begin to fall
The shadows seem to cover all.
There is a quiet that I seek
And feel no need to eye or peek
There are no words that I must say
For now is time to bid good day !
SECURE ( 2016 ) 2016/10/06
There are no cares I wish to share
My thoughts this day seem quite threadbare
I’m feeling worn this early morn
A bit unsteady and forlorn
Perhaps today I need more sleep
I’ve obligations I must keep.
I know that I’ve too much to do
Sometimes I never think it through
I try so hard to give my best
And fear that I won’t pass the test
One can’t lose heart of that I’m sure
But with God’s help we’ll be secure !
GOOD FRIENDS ( 2016 ) 2016/10/02
We’ve been good friends for many years
Through smiles and laughter, doubts and fears
We have been up, we have been down
Hugs and kisses, at times a frown
I’ve often thought what shall I do
Without a pal who’s just like you ?
It’s been so long that I’ve forgot
What life would be if you were not
And so today I want to state
That we are buddies soon or late
Whatever else may chance to be
I’m here for you when you need me !
MOTHER LOVE ( 2016 ) 2016/08/08
Now I have trod a long, long road
Upon my mind this heavy load
My burden is too great to bear
I can’t be sure if I’ll get there
It is Your help I’m searching for
A beggar here outside Your door.
I only hope that You will hear
My urgent plea upon Your ear
And comfort me so that I know
I shall have peace before I go
As You assume the burden of
A mother’s last unfettered love !
LOST MY WAY ( 2016 ) 2016/06/28
The winds of change blow loud and long
I hear the call both wild and strong
While in my mind the challenge grows
From my head down unto my toes.
My heart’s in pain and agony
There is no help that I can see
This world I’ve known melted away
Please help me God, I’ve lost my way !
ETERNALLY ( 2016 ) 2016/06/15
My heart is heavy and so sad
For those whose lives have turned out bad
We can’t assess where lies the blame
Our duty is to help the same.
Who knows what pain victims may bear
There is great need for us to care
For we are all one family
Children of God eternally !
LITTLE MOUSE ( 2016 ) 2016/03/18
Where are you going little mouse
Rapid sneaking around each house
In the halls you skirt and scurry
Rushing always in a hurry.
You seem to move so very fast
The world you know is not that vast,
Appears that God has met your need
And granted you some extra speed.
I wonder what you’re looking for
As you do scoot from door to door
Oh little mouse with tiny feet
Sad that your life ends in defeat !
GREATER GOALS ( 2016 ) 2016/01/12
How sad it is upon this day
That childhood soon must fly away
The dearest gift a child may find
Is someone who is of like mind
The search is long, it’s journey fleet
And sometimes it is bittersweet.
Tis better still as we do grow
Into the adult all should know
To leave our wayward cares behind
As need and purpose doth unwind
While hidden there amongst the shoals
Are finer truths and greater goals !
FACADE ( 2016 ) 2015/12/31
The stars shine brightly through the night
The planets veil themselves from sight
The moon plays hide and seek up high
The winds do moan and heave and sigh
The world at best seems lost in space
And cannot seem to find its place !
THERE WILL BE MORE ( 2015 ) 2015/12/17
Life is so very precious, oh my dear
Embracing faith helps keep our God quite near
I see His stars that twinkle in the sky
Reminding me there is this force on high.
I’ve not been blinded by the far-off lights
They’ve been my company too many nights
I lie abed before my eyelids close
And sometimes count my fingers and my toes
Still joyous count God’s blessings by the score
Knowing if I have need there will be more !
CHANGES ( 2015 ) 2015/09/22
The winds of change surge cross the land
To spread their message where they can
They purge the very air we breathe
With time they may the pain relieve !
WHAT SHALL I DO ( 2015 ) 2015/08/31
I miss you Mom it’s been so long
All through the years our bond was strong
Though you’ve been gone for quite a while
I still remember your sweet smile
And all the love you gave to me
When times were dark your torch was free.
Thanks for your help in those bleak days
Together while those boys were raised
You always shared that wise advice
You taught me how to compromise
I’m glad that I was there for you
Now you are gone, what shall I do ?
THESAURUS ( 2015 ) 2015/08/07
I pull the words out of the air
There are so many words to share
Some words are good and kind and sweet
While some are mean, fierce, incomplete.
Of all the words I’ve ever used
I shy away from those confused
And try to stick to making sense
As nastiness has no defense.
I pray that God and I agree
Of all our words there are but three
That humans, angels, heaven too
All need to hear, that’s “I love you.”
WITHOUT DELAY ( 2015 ) 2015/06/07
I saw an owl perched in a tree
“Whoo, whoo “, he seemed to speak to me
Oh, mister owl you look so grave
Is there a way I should behave ?
I’d like to know what I can do
To ease the course of life for you
Or is this world in such distress
You’re here to bring an S – O – S ?
I’d really like to help you out
Leave me a sign or make a shout
If you’ve a message to relay
I’ll speak to God without delay !
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.
LOST SHEEP ( 2014 ) 2014/09/16
The cradle clings unto the branch
This cannot be pure happenstance
But is the work of stronger hands
T’will bring about the Master’s plans !
Tis strange that we who have no worth
Bethink ourselves the salt of earth
While dung we are in our pursuit
Of evil gain and heartless loot !
The children who inherit this
Denied the blessings of kindness
Are the lost sheep now gone astray
Who need God’s help to find their way !
