Don’t Blame God!

Don’t Blame God

I fuss, I cuss,
I spit, I hiss
I extend my claws
Without a pause
I’ll let you have it

Then down I shrink
After a moment to think
Why did I do that?
Lost control again
I simply cannot win

Control
Over this lustful, errant 
Soul
Of mine
Maybe with more time?

But no
I know
That will never happen
Not in my day
Will I ever have complete sway

Who can I blame
To mind comes the only name,
Myself, me
I am the only one I see 
Standing inside, beside me

So do not blame God for
Our destructive of life behavior
Nor can you blame your neighbor
He has his own evil to deal with

God holds out his light
Love, joy peace
Always within your reach
It is Your Choice
So do not keep
On blaming God
For our compliance, our nod
Toward the darkness

Glory Before Time!

Glory Before Time

Glory 
Before what we call
Time 
Incomprensible to our
Oh so limited minds
Reigned & still does
In Majesty sublime

Holy, Pure,
Perfect ,
Light, 
Power
Without limit
Oh, Holy Lord
May I never forget it
 
Hallelu Ya!!
To this One
& His Son
Who lives in
Infinity’s light
Come,
Live in my heart
Forever 
In your full glory
& might!

Praise You, God!

Not Little

Not Little

He makes the 
Robin sing
The honey bee buzz
Old men cry
And babies laugh
Forces the sun’s
Blaze with fire
& sends the moon’s 
pale glow at night
not one of these things
is ever out of His hand
or His sight!

Knows every black hole
And every giant star
Every planet, every comet
We are able to see 
Only from afar
Holds a vast universe
In one hand
But we as tiny, 
So limited man
Really see only this dirt, 
This earth!

He Forces great nations
To rise
& then to fall
But, 
from the 
Human heart
Still hears the slightest,
Smallest call
For that is where
It starts!

Within the 
Human heart
Life starts &
Ends
Not in the wind
But in His breath
His Spirit
Living within!

Knows your
Every thought
Every care,
Every smile
Every tear
So never, ever
Have a moment’s fear
That your
Living, breathing
Powerful God
is not always near!

He is not small
He is not little
He will always
Rush to hear
About your life
The pain, the strife
You live in
God is going to win
Eternity belongs to Him
And so do you
If you will only choose!!!

Angel On Your Knees

Angel on Your Knees

Angel, angel
On your knees
Are you always 
And ever seeking
To Please?

From your start,
So close to His heart
This God of ours
Fills up the hours
Of our lives

With Himself
Joy surpassing
Ever glowing
Always showing
Perfection’s glory
On display

And so on this day
We both will stay
In our worship
Of His radiance
Reaching down
To give each
Of even the least
A special glance
Of Himself,
Eternity on display!!!

Haiku for a Spring’s Sunday

God’s power is shown

displayed in heavens & skies

ignites suns & moons

Not Candy on The Top

 
 Not Just Candy on the Top
  
 Shining, glorious
 On top
 That bright red
 Cherry
 Gleaming, glistening
 On top of whipped crème
 A most delicious berry
  
 Just a nice add-on
 Makes it more enticing
 Milkshake underneath
 Solid, frothy
 Coming closer to being
 Desired
  
 But tis an unnecessary
 Thing
 Does not decrease
 Or increase
 The shake beneath
 Or detract from its
 Power
 To make us wish it
 To devour
  
 I sometimes think
 Of God & Christ
 We have made
 Like that cherry
 That piece on top
 of stuff
 A small enhancement,
 Merely a small piece
 Of fluff
  
 In comparison to
 That solid milkshake
 Rest of our lives
 Are we really going to
 Wait until our body dies
 To see reality,
 God’s importance,
 Why wait until that time 
 Of crisis?
  
 Today, make God
 The solid majority
 Of your life
 Desire most 
 The Lord
 Of all the angelic hosts
 The center of your being
 As ephemeral you become
 & more fleeting!
