AN S.O.B.

 

Mother nature and Father time conceived

What they produced you won’t believe!

Yes! They had to admit it was a S.O.B,

And this picture I’ll paint for you to see!

All the mountains cried out with joy –

It was not a girl, but a handsome boy!

The winds danced along the streams . . .

The clouds at night had pretty dreams –

All the stars came out at night . . .

And the sun by day gave them light!

Mother nature and Father time conceived

A beautiful task that most can’t achieve –

This fulfilled a lifetime of longing . . .

A son that had a (Sense of Belonging!)

TO QAVAH

 

By a single thread we hang,

But when we come together,

We create an unbreakable bond!

When we “wait” upon the Lord

We intertwine our lives with His!

Actively waiting, we devote an

Eager expectation that requires

Faith and endurance of oneself!

“Those who “Qavah” the Lord shall

Renew their strength; they shall

Mount up with wings like eagles!”

Qavah for the lord; be strong, and

Let your heart take courage; yes,

Qavah for the Lord always!

Don’t sit passively – stretch out

Your soul; lean on the promises of

God, and trust in His deliverance!

A PIERCING THOUGHT

 

I held a rose in my hand

The velvet touch had no demand –

A throne pierced my skin

Like a love that knows no end!

Tears begin to fill my eyes

And I know my soul needs to cry!

Regrets seen to sneak in

Like petals blowing in the wind-

Answers I need to find . . .

But yesterday was lost in time!

O such beauty my eyes behold,

And tomorrow – I don’t know!

But today I held a perfect rose

Lacking words I can’t compose!

I USED TO KNOW

 

In the shadows of dawn . . .

At the keyboard all alone –

Thoughts racing in my mind

I have nothing but time!

O the words I try to form –

It seems my spirit is torn . . .

Thoughts from long ago

Of a love I used to know!

It’s funny the paths we take

My mind is barely awake –

Thinking of a dream I had,

And remembering I was sad!

In the shadows of dawn . . .

You won’t leave me alone!

A PRIDEFUL HEART

 

In the shadows

Where darkness will hide

Or in a proud heart

Where arrogance can reside!

Mere temperament you say,

It’s just being a man!

(But pride goeth before the fall)

Meekness we must understand!

“I’ll get mine!”

Whatever the cost –

It’s the ego we must feed

Money makes us the boss!

Darkness hides in a soul,

And it’s God they never know!

DO A GOOD DEED

Every day we can do a good deed,

          Try, it’s not that hard!

When helping others we succeed,

          Try, it’s not that hard!

Then the Lord will draw so near,

And then one’s heart will feel glad,

Helping others feels so dear!

          Try, it’s not that hard!

Storms of life affects us all –

          None of us are immune!

Upon the Lord we all will call,

          None of us are immune!

Today we have the world by the tale,

And tomorrow one’s heart is sad,

In a flash things can turn to hell!

          I know, I have been there!

Storms of life will call us out –

          I know, I have been there!

Do a good deed – let others shout!

NEVER LET GO

 

In the stillness – I hold you near,

And it’s your touch that is so dear!

Never let go – hold me tight!

Lost in the shadows of night –

In the silence our hearts pound

It’s your passion I have found!

In your eyes there is a light

That guides my soul at night –

In your bed is the perfect place

That reflects love on your face!

O your kisses are so sweet,

And I love it when our toes meet!

Never let go – hold me tight!

It’s only here, my world is right!
