The early stillness fills the air
With signs of calm we all may share
Oh shall our Lord in truth forbear
And cram each day with love to spare !
HANDICAPPED ( 2017 ) 2017/05/04
I’ve put away my childhood fears
Remembering those tender years
There are so many ways I fall
One day I shan’t get up at all !
I try so hard to walk erect
It is the pose that I select
Lord, how I wish I had the strength
To live my life to its full length.
It’s what I have been working for,
To tread the stairs or walk the floor
Oh, what a pleasure it would be
To dance once more in victory !
PLEASURES ( 2016 ) 2016/12/28
I’d often thought how great ‘twould be
If all God’s children could feel free
And how improved our lives would seem
With each endowed to chase their dream
Another chance to reach the goal
Which is the anchor of one’s soul
While God to us His treasures bare
In hopes that all may pleasures share !
MY TURN ( 2016 ) 2016/12/11
One thing I’ve learned and must never forget
That here in my path is a challenge yet
There is too much to see and much to do
Before my turn here on this earth is through !
USEFUL ( 2016 ) 2016/07/06
I’d like to be a shining star
Whose light did twinkle from afar
Oh what great fun that it would be
If little children wished on me !
I’d like to be a chapel bell
That every day the hour must tell
From faraway you’d hear the chime
That’s how you knew what was the time !
But better still I wish that I
Had angel wings so I might fly
To greet you all at Peter’s gate
Just to make sure you aren’t late !
SHARE A SMILE ( 2016 ) 2016/07/03
The sadness of this life I see
Is absence of one thing that’s free
No matter where it is I’m at
The world about is sad and flat.
Those faces that are all around
Are full of darkness or a frown
The answer’s simple and worthwhile
How lovely if they’d share a smile !
I LOVE TRAINS ( 2016 ) 2016/05/20
I love to travel by the train
Note, I don’t mind if plush or plain
Railroad cars are the finest way
If truly seeking getaway.
There’s much to see along the track
On every side, both front and back
Oh such great joy a trip can be
Each ride filled with frivolity !
Sometimes there’s food, sometimes there’s not
But dining cars sure feed a lot
If on your trip you’re going far
There is an observation car.
It’s so much fun to go by train
I can’t wait to do it again !
