And so my love as we’ve grown old
And nights are long and days are cold
And all we knew has been forgot
With dreams that we remember not !
EACH FRONT DOOR ( 2018 ) 2018/11/05
The early dawn creeps o’er the hill
The world about seems calm and still
Tis all this peace at breaking morn
When hopes and dreams must be reborn
The silence brings a short respite
Escaping most of night times fright
As aspirations rise once more
To knock again on each front door !
JUSTICE ( 2018 ) 2018/05/01
I’d like to think God’s on my side
When I begin to slip and slide
Perhaps e’en tumble down some hill
Like that famous pair, Jack and Jill !
How wonderful that we may be
A part of Christ’s own victory
When good will triumph over all
And destiny will not be stalled
Let’s all standup and cheer aloud
Be grateful we have joined His crowd !
EASTER SURPRISE ( 2016 ) 2016/03/22
The day is coming it’s almost here
Hold onto your hat, let out a cheer
Here comes the spring bearing a new year.
The sun is shining, we’re warming up
About to partake of springtime’s cup
Time to thank our Lord ere we do sup !
THE DISTANT SOUND ( 2015 ) 2015/08/14
There’s a world that’s out there, one that I shall never see
With all its magic music and such happiness for free
It reaches now to touch me with sights I have never known
Though I shan’t live to see it for my time is not my own.
I can sight the lights afar and do hear the distant sound
Distinctly in the twilight as the darkness closes round
And I’m sure that someone else will be right there to share it
As for me the truth is this, I’ve no strength left to dare it !
SEARCHING FOR GOD ( 2013 ) 2013/10/10
God has not lost us, we have failed Him
And all the angels and cherubim.
How did this happen, what could it be
Is this a puzzle or mystery ?
No merit how hard we really try
Who can determine the reason why !
While striving to do the very best
We need to put our faith to the test
And help to discover gentler days
Lead us again to walk in Your ways.
We must embrace humility first
Ere we may fill this essential thirst
Seeking forgiveness for trust that’s lost,
We’ll gain His love small matter the cost !
TIME TO CHANGE ( 2013 ) 2013/10/07
I feel like an empty vessel with contents nearly gone
Who rises to each morning and another chance coupon
To bring purpose to our lives that we can’t afford to waste
Forsaking hollow treasures we have gathered in our haste
As our minds collect false wisdom and store it all away
Into some far crevasse where it can crumble and decay.
Time has come at last to place erudition on the plate
Help to change our sad condition ere it would grow too late
Then begin anew once more face the final challenge here
Giving God His due respect with our gratitude sincere.
