Life Has Its Trials

Life has its trials, sometimes they are many,And sometimes it feels as some folks not got any.We never do know, though, what others go through,For we don’t live with them, don’t know what they do. But many are those filled with heartaches galore,While so many others their pain they ignore.So many weep silently now on … Continue reading Life Has Its Trials

When Things Get Crazy

Do you ever feel so deeplyThat words cannot express it?Like the feeling of a symphony,But your fingers just don’t get it? You know the passion deep in heart,As the tears stream from your eyes,But words cannot quite capture it,For the pain, not realize. You search within for words to say,But they can’t get to your … Continue reading When Things Get Crazy

The Grim Reaper

Dancing, dancing in the wind,Flickering, flickering, idols grim.Movies, movies, what’s in store?The grim reaper at your door.

Pointless, pointless, all’s a game,So they can put you to shame.Baffle, baffle, mystify.Complicated? It’s a lie! Sidetrack, sidetrack, entertain.What’s at … Continue reading The Grim Reaper

In Fairytale Land

An Original Work / March 28, 2022 Once upon a time in fairytale land,Grand masters laid out their careful plan.Deception was what it was about,Trick people and leave not one to doubt.

Window Dressing

Window dressing, now impressing,Artful, skillful, and misleading,Superficial presentations,On this many now are feeding. Scheming, dreaming, eyes are beaming,Cunning, crafty, they are teaming,Skillful in their craft, deceiving,Many now in them believing. Fewer, fewer truth receiving,Less and less in Christ believing,Fewer, less, their sins are grieving,More and more they are deceiving. Fewer still the Lord obeying,And the … Continue reading Window Dressing
