WALK WITH THE WISE

 

I see the world upside down in my head,

And the truth of it all I dread!

And tomorrow I wonder where we stand –

It’s like we’re sinking in quicksand!

But through it all we need to have faith

With God’s help man has what it takes!

What do we accomplish by being hopeless?

The world will always be in a mess!

So, when we rise, look outside . . .

Will it be a good day – only we can decide!

Yesterday is just a memory lost in time –

Don’t let negative thoughts fill your mind!

“Look carefully then how you walk, not

as unwise but as wise, making the best use

of your time, because the world can be evil.”

THE DUTY OF MANKIND

 

“The only true wisdom is in knowing

you know nothing.” ~Socrates~

“But those that know God

have total wisdom.” ~TT~

So, my question is my dear friends:

“Which would you rather have –

Knowledge or Wisdom?”

“To believe there is not a God is a fool!”

A scholar or an ignoramus falls to

the same fate!

Sadly, some believe in the

“Big Bang Theory.”

BANG! And all we see or not see

just came into existence! WOW!

“So, we gather and we hoard all

our lives to leave it to those that don’t

deserve it!”

A rich man or a pulper will all

stand before God and give an

account of their lives!

Solomon summarizes: “Now all has

been heard; here is what matters:

Fear God and keep his commandments,

for this is the duty of mankind.”

BE CHILDLIKE

 

Splashing in puddles of rain

Before the world drove us insane!

Once a man twice a child –

Come and rest your mind for a while!

Can you remember when life was simple?

Go ahead – show me your dimples –

It was a time when we could run and play,

And we could be kids – like every day!

Today it’s hard to be an adult –

We feel like we belong to a cult!

Living in a system that has total control –

“Our God given rights we don’t know!”

So, how about regressing for just a day

Be childlike – go outside and play!

LIFE HAS MEANING

 

I heard the wind

I wondered where it had been

I heard the rain

I could feel it’s pain

I saw the evening shadows fall

I saw the trees standing tall

I thought to myself

I feel there is nothing left

I heard a small voice whisper

I’m the speaker you’re the listener

I heard a rushing sound

I stopped and looked around

I realized I was dreaming

I know that life has meaning

WHEN I THINK

 

As the dawn brings her light . . .

I’m still lost somewhere in the night –

I remember all the times . . .

As special moments come to mind

The way your lips press against mine,

And the way our bodies entwine!

The sweet sounds of your words

Like songs my heart has never heard –

The one thing that I know is true

There will never be another you!

The moments we’ve spent together,

And the storms we have weathered!

“When I think,” I know I love you

That’s something I can always do!

TANGLED DOUBTS

 

What brings joy to one’s heart?

Love or hatred, which sets it apart?

Lack of love can cause enmity,

And sadness will never let us be!

“A heart is never in control” . . .

I know that seems to be a little bold!

Love is the only thing in life that’s free,

But for some reason we can’t let it be!

Time is wasted – looking like a fool –

“Seft control,” can that be our rule?

To obtain true love we must give in,

But it’s not about who is going to win!

When we give into love enmity is out,

“A heart tends to over complicate its

owe desires, turning simple truths into

tangled doubts!”

THE WORLD BY THE TAIL

 

The dust twirls on a dusty road,

And living life can be a heavy load!

Today the sun shines so bright,

But we never know what’s out of sight!

We’ll not always have the world by the tail –

Without warning things can become hell!

So how can we prepare for the worst?

“Stop worrying about riding in a hurst!”

Today has enough troubles of its own –

(Trust in God) and leave the future alone!

Can any of you by worrying add a day?

So, enjoy life! I find that’s the best way!

Anxiety just has no place in this life!

Smile and be happy – it causes less strife!
