Oh Humpty-Dumpty what have we here
A world of treachery full of fear
Where are the king’s horses and his men
You know we could use their help again !
To all of us it’s become quite clear
We’ve unsafe streets, the future looks drear
We need your advice if you don’t mind
There’s a solution we must now find
Make sure we promise to not crack eggs
And pray we stand on our own two legs !
The seasons end is drawing near
Before you notice winter’s here
And once again the snow will call
When autumn leaves no longer fall.
Now life is really much the same
For spring and summer start the game
Enjoy the view as colors fade
From bright sunlight to winter’s shade.
Sometimes it seems in life we lose
The power we had to pick or choose
Among those choices that exist
Believe our faith in God persists !
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 !
Sometimes life deals us tragedy
Too difficult to understand
We look to God for clarity
As we reach out to grasp His hand.
In crisis mode we may feel lost
Seems no one has the time to care
Reach out to God, He knows the cost
And promises He will be there !
There among the shadows in a deep dark borrowed cave
The son of man was taken his body to be laved
While most of those who knew him did hide along the way
Fearing their discovery before the end of days.
Imagine their surprise when they learned that he was gone
There was no way to find him neither there nor beyond
It took three days to learn he no longer knew the grave
But risen forth had he for his people to be saved !
Let us build a road to heaven
We’ll pave it with unselfish deeds
Days of the week are but seven
Not quite enough to meet our needs.
This task may take us forever
I hope we can afford the time
Will we succeed, I’d guess never
God knows, it could be worth the climb !
What power on this earth enslaves
Their people from each birth to graves,
What ancient curse now here exists
With strengths increased and still persists ?
Oh Lamb of God when will it cease
How long must we thirst for Your peace,
Though blind we are and bullied too
Our faith remains steadfast and true !
An angel rapped upon my door
And asked what I was waiting for
I answered with a mild restraint,
“To use my words to pictures paint
And beg God’s help to loose my heart
That I may in His world take part
Tis not a simple task,” said I,
“But what I wish ere I should die,
I think about this every day
And do not wish to lose my way,
I am no longer young you see
My faith means everything to me !”
If I were a rainbow my home would be the sky
You would see my colors if mist were passing by
The sun must be behind if you’re to catch the glow
There through tiny raindrops it’s time to see the show.
Only seven colors the spectrum is complete
Oh what a sight to show majestic and so sweet
And such a great reminder that God is ever there
Keeping every promise that we were meant to share !
The children that we leave behind
Aft we are gone away to find
That final place wherein we rest
There wait for those who ace the test
Thus be prepared to take the helm
Into their care within their realm !
We need the young to learn the task
And seek restraint within their grasp
To value faith keep God in mind
With open heart and bias blind
Reach out to those who hunger much
Receive God’s care and gentle touch !
The stars shine bright
The moon’s aglow
The sheep bleat baa
The cattle low
The camels rest
The birds are still
All is quiet
Upon the hill
A brightness floods
The skies above
As we received
God’s gift of love !
My heart would pace a million miles
To catch one glimpse of your sweet smiles
And wait for days upon a line
To learn that you were doing fine !
I miss you still and always will
Like all the plans we can’t fulfill
Until the sun deserts the sky
The moon and I bid sweet goodbye !
Sometimes I wake when it is dark
And lie abed with vision stark
I hear the creak each structure makes
As wind and rain the silence breaks !
I note how trees do bend and sway
It seems that dawn is on her way
The day begins its morning song
As silent we will join the throng !
The senses soon repeat the flow
Who knows where each new day will go
Because today may bring surprise
God hear my prayers before I rise !
How brilliant has this morn begun
Displaying such bright yellow sun
While helping every living thing
To share a vibrant breath of spring !
On seeing, one emits a gasp
This vision sweet within our grasp
To touch the rainbow near at hand
That leads us to the promised land !
I awakened this morning and looked all around
I wanted to share with you the comfort I’d found.
In the smallest of ways on the happiest days
A great flock of birds seemed to be chirping God’s praise,
I laughed hard at their breadth but disturbed not their song
And wished with the whole of my heart I could belong.
Then I suddenly thought of that first holy night
And all the creatures of God that witnessed the sight
What a wonder it was, what a glorious gift
With the power to heal and the will to uplift.
The beasts of the fields welcomed His coming to earth
While the stars in the sky celebrated His birth !
There was a child so long ago
Born in a manger, cold and low
That gentle child became the man
To carry out God’s master plan.
I wish I had been there that day
When He was born so far away
To celebrate that happening
The birth of our beloved King !
