CIRCLES

I feel like I’m going in circlesI’ve been here many times beforeI’ve heard the same old rhetoricThat’s too much to endure. Every time you leave meand then come back againI find I’m right back inthe same place I’ve always been The players in this endless charadeare always just the sameYou and I, loving and leavingplaying that same old game My […]

I’m writing out a special list of things to do today It’s not a list of daily tasks nor things I might do for pay Today I think I’ll take some time away from my daily routine to do some kind and worthwhile deeds so joy to others… I might bring I know that I can make a difference so […]

THINGS

All our lives we chase after…THINGS… counting on all the joys they bring But do things really serve us well Lets study the issue and try to tell What good are.. THINGS.. in this life we live if to others we refuse to give Selfishness here is not our mission If to our God we would choose to listen Having […]

A MID SUMMER’S DAYDREAM

. Where flowing streams trickle. Where bridges are crossed. Where flowery grasslands meets water and moss. Where young woodland creaturestraipse thru meadows and trees. Where bees and butterflies play tag in the breeze. Here you will find me quiet and serene As nature unfolds to a mid-summer’s daydream. Sometimes things just pop up in my head and have to be written […]

COME RIDE WITH ME

Mount your steed, come ride with me abandoning the simple and the ordinary Let’s set our course on a journey new discovering treasures under skies so blue Just you and I leaving all behind new adventures we will find removing ourselves from the here and now thundering hooves…the only sound Our hair blowing in the wind things of old we […]

FROM THE HEART

How do I count the mishaps in lifeThat you have fixed for me?How do you count the tears I’ve shedThat you dried up so tenderly? How many heartbreaks have you repairedwith wise sayings or silly jokes?When I acted as though we were way up thereyou reminded me that we were just plain folk? There were times when life wasn’t so […]

DYING ON A SHELF

O.K. So, you’re depressed and blue And all “outside” yourself Wanting to put your life on a shelf All because you couldn’t get thru The pain of what someone thought about you Take note and listen up: Because someone’s ignorance made you cry You can’t let life pass you by Trust and believe that what someone thinks Is not worth […]

THE SUN

In amazement I look out my window and watch the morning sun appear In a blinding blaze of glory It cancels the dark and drear What was on our God’s mind as He designed the sun and made it shine What was he thinking in His head when he fashioned the colors oranges…yellows and reds. I know that the answer […]

LET’S GET BUSY

God gave us a job to do with enough days to see it through Every job is a meaningful task And He will help us if we ask There is no time to get off track We just waste time getting back If by chance some days are missed The Holy Spirit will guide and assist In getting us back, […]
