Gratitude – A Thanks Giving
Taking our punishment on Himself
Until of all physical life was He bereft
Of all our failures, darkest sins
Were we completely cleansed
Until none of it was left
In return for this should we not
At least a few moments a day
Let go,
Our own careless ways to stop
And say one Thank You!
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!

Morning Prayer - A Beautiful Day!
Come Lord Jesus
Let’s have a beautiful day!
Keep my eyes focused up
Toward your ever flowing cup
Of Your Purest Joy & Love
Thank you for letting me look above
Toward your beaming, smiling Face
Unending Overwhelming Mercy & Grace
Of this, I desperately need
A very large spoonful’s taste!
Help me stay focused off
The chaotic darkness below
Our wars, pain & greed
Allowing me to clearly perceive
Your Radiant Perfection’s Glow
A different way & place to live
Is what you always wished to give
Eternity’s paradise, those opened gates
To a much better place
And the overwhelming beauty
Found only on your Holy Face!
Came From
I came from
& to you will return
Dear God
For your warmth-filled embrace
I deeply yearn
Your hallowed halls
I long to peruse
At the edge of your feet
Those power-filled, golden shoes
I tremble
Yet there,
I find my most peaceful rest
& only at your behest
Am I allowed to rise
With expectant eyes
To see for myself
At last,
Your beauty’s-filled smiling sighs!

The First
Christ must come first
Everything else a poor second
As you listen to His voice
So sweetly trill & beckon
Return to me
I will return to you
A new day will break forth
Ensue!
A sun unlike any other
Will roll & rise
A shining, sparkling
New planet
To be beheld with widened eyes
To live in a new universe
These second-hand words
I now rehearse
Taken from the writings
Of an ancient Holy Book
I am allowed to delight in reciting!
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!!!
