Topsy turvy, words are curvy,All in shackles, now they heckleThose who see them and who reasonWhat’s the matter with the chatter. Those who’re blind, they do not see them.See them not, and so not reason.They accept them on the surface,Even though they rank superfluous. All about them gets not better,Words about them in a letterTo … Continue reading What’s The Matter?

Hope For The Hurting
There is hope for the hurtingFor whom Christ they are servingMisfortune undeservingWith trials so disturbing No promises of reliefNo assurance they’ll be briefEven if Christ they believeAnd forgiveness they receive Is this meant to be a joke?At misfortune do I poke?Have I now, now have misspoke?Is this meant now to provoke?

Change anything?Sometimes a break keeps us breathing.Sometimes we need just time to ourselves,Sort through it all, then put on a shelf. For life has … Continue reading Time to Ourselves

Time is Ticking
Time is ticking, ticking by,Birds are singing, babies cry,Hearts are mourning things long dead,Words ill spoken, should not said. So regretful, those who mournOver things should not been born,Wish that they could all erase,And the truth not have to face. We cannot erase the past,Even if we pray and fast.What we did will long live … Continue reading Time is Ticking
Why Do I Do What I Do?
Why do I do what I do each day?Why do I trust God and to Him pray?Why do I give my life up to Him?Why do I live for Him, not for a whim? I have learned many things in my life.Some things I learned from Him, learned in strife.Empty, hurting I was, needed Him.Needed … Continue reading Why Do I Do What I Do?
