WHAT IS LIFE’S PLOT

 

Along the back streets,

   The buildings stand tall,

Dirty concrete with graffiti,

   And I have seen it all!

 

Pigeons are everywhere,

   They have no place to go,

Lost in the maze of time,

   And their sadness shows!

 

The clouds move on by

   You see time waits not –

As the days turn into years,

   But what is life’s plot?

 

There is no time to think!

   So, I just let it all be

I have troubles of my own,

   Through my eyes I see:

 

God watches from above,

   And to the world I recall –

Everything God has created

   For man, big and small!

PLANS I HAVE FOR YOU

Time is moving so fast,

And nothing will ever last –

So here I sit in church

On the oak pew I perch . . .

The preacher’s sermon I heard

Teaching of God’s precious word:

“So, what was the Lord saying,

Are you a sheep that is straying?”

The message was simple and plain

Nothing will ever remain the same!

A whisper, then I turned around,

And in the quietness came a sound –

The sweetest voice I’ve ever heard

(The spirit of God’s holy word)

“For I know the plans I have for you,”

declares the Lord, “plans to prosper

you and not harm you, plans to give

you hope and a future.”
