At the top of her lungs She cried out in exasperation. Nothing was working out According to her expectations. Life was not giving her What she thought life was all about.

Mishmash Squish-Squash
Mishmash, squish-squash, Dancers dancing, diners posh, People singing, playing drums, Words a plenty, others hum. Tired limbs, feet sore, Not aware of what’s in store. Rainbows ending, lies a plenty, Faith in God, they ain’t got any. True love forsake, Trust in God they will not take. Having fun, so what’s at stake? Sincerity they … Continue reading Mishmash Squish-Squash

A friend is a friend until he isn’t, Until he cuts into your heart an incision, Until he murders you in mind, and in his soul, Until he leaves you brokenhearted, and not whole. A friend may be shallow and dismissive, Whose hidden desires come to the surface, For he can’t hold them back now … Continue reading A Friend is a Friend until

Light the Candles
Light the candles, smell them burning, While the gospel, men are churning, And the hearts of men not turning From their sins. And God not learning. Religious practice is their cover. Sinful lifestyles, they’re not over. Godless idols are their lover. Righteousness is not their mover. Wickedness is what is leading, While they go on … Continue reading Light the Candles

Daffodils and all life’s thrills Cannot compare to Love that fills Our heart’s desires, for on that hill He gave his life, obeyed God’s will.

Don’t Cop Out! Clip-clop, flippity-flop, Watch your footing, Don’t cop out. Beware unaware, Check your gauges, Don’t them spare. Fine tune all your senses, Don’t be taken By happenstances. Train minds godliness, Righteous and Holiness. An Original Work / January 31, 2023
God’s Sweet Amazing Grace
God’s sweet, amazing grace I have met face to face. He gave His life for me, From sin to be set free. It teaches me to pray And walk with Him each day, Say “No!” to sin and self, Put Him not on a shelf. From grace I learn to walk And not of faith … Continue reading God’s Sweet Amazing Grace
