I love a blank page I love a blank page Nice way to start my day As words fill the head An incentive to leave my bed Perfectly pure white A welcoming sight Black marks fill to the end Hoping I may to you send A better day of Blessings & Joy!
So Forget! A world barges in Rude & loud, using force Seeking its own way To get me off my course From you, Lord Christ So, On I must struggle To stay away From seeking its Loud, belligerent way & listen to your gentle voice instead So, F O R G E T Your large house Your sleek, ramblings cars Persistent pleasure seeking In Him only Am I believing! Toward His cross Am I retreating! Toward a better life & a Living Son’s Paradise!!!
The Rending To rend or rent is To be torn apart with violence & thus will the skies overhead In a Holy Book is said Be rent apart This for us will be Our wonderful new start Earth, sky, heavens Rent open will all be As we watch to see A Living God Return to claim In His Gracious Name And Holy Fame His creation in totality Hordes of mighty angels Will descend Coming evil’s reign to end Overwhelming the earth As Christ in His Power asserts His Kingship, Ownership Of a Recreated Restored, New World
There is another level to existence Unseen but not entirely unknown Ever since we humans walked Upon this spinning planet so green lived under its sun, breathed in its air, Of other beings were we fully aware this other side was completely seen Until we rebelled against its Leader The One completely in charge Ran everything, owned everything, Loved everything & everyone Decided to be our own Leader Replaced God with man Pushed Him aside to follow a deceiver And the self’s desires A schism, a chasm was created Across which we cannot go Now we turn our backs, harden the heart To the things we should strive to know Build webs of cables, darkened lies Given by someone who only strives To bring about our destruction Entangled in this deceit, We now ignore what we once knew We encase our hearts in stone Refusing to see the reality of You The Owner, Creator, Lord & Master (gave His life on our cruel cross) Of this beautifully created Universe!
Colors of Christmas Red and Green are Everywhere seen For Christmas Was there a reason for these Surely there must be Or so it seems to me Red in the berries For the blood that Christ shed On a cruel cross As Mary’s body was in pain at your birth Her heart’s pain at your death most Assuredly must have been worse Green for the life that Jesus Gives freely everywhere For our souls like plants may rise Upward to live in His purest of airs So maybe there was a reason For the colors of this joyous season May you come to know the miracle and wonder As God’s love and mercy ripped asunder Death’s power over us all forever Through the birth of Jesus, His One and Only Most Glorious Son!
My sweetest, little husband of 48 years has just been diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer. He is very sick and in the hospital. He has had multiple strokes and heart rhythm problems, is very sick and weak. I do not know if he will make it or not. I would just appreciate any prayers for his healing or a peaceful passing for him from this world. He is one of the sweetest, kindest people I have ever known and at times has been so good to me. Praise God! Below is a poem I dedicate to him.
OUTSIDE (to my husband) Outside of Our sense of reality Of what we only see With eyes Allowed to touch Only with fingers, hands Existing within the Limited plans of man Is another place, world Kingdom Of an Almighty & Holy Son Another dimension Of glory, His Holy light Empowered by His Grace and loving might Outside this universe of Rocks & stones Planets swirling Gases twirling Suns burning Full of all our yearnings Lives a gloriously beautiful Creator King Of whom with full voices The angels sing All of our heartbeats together Could not equal the Eternal joys & pleasures Of His forever lights & glories Reflected in all of the ancient’s Wisest stories So let go of your desires Fueled by hell’s hottest fires For only physical things You see now Enter that higher level of Heaven’s, Infinity’s brightest lights Of Angels’ wings & breath So you also may tell of A place of only life Forever with no more death!
