Poems

I don't know where I got the words to the poems that I have written. It has been 6 months since I began on this journaling of poetry writing. I thank God for the words that flow for within me.

Time To Turn Another Page

It's time to turn another page. Things in life has its changes. We must go and adjust to those changes.

We can get use to doing some things. Then down the road things change. We have to go along with what's at hand.

May we see the good in what is coming. May God help us to change with things that are coming. May we have a good attitude in what there is to come.

The Weekend

This week went fast.
It's the last 7:30PM service at WOLC.
It starts at 7PM starting next Friday, May 1st.

Researching Family History

I like to research my family history. My sister's daughter came over yesterday. She was wanting me to help here on her father's side.

I found out some more for her. It's interesting to track down names. It takes time but it's good to know where our ancestors came from.

I am still searching. It's good to exercise the mind with mystery things.

Getting Mind Off The Past

I wrote this poem during the Lent season.
I was thinking about needing to move on from some things in my life. I've been there too long. So I was getting mind off the past.

Poem # 64
31 March 2009 Get Mind Off The Past
By S.A.B.

It's time to move on
Stop looking at past

That was once now gone
See good that can last

Bring insight to now
Forgetting some things

The Spirit shows how
A new song to sing

Learn to do next deal
Seek the LORD just ask

Focus on God's will
Get mind off the past

Thinking About How I Began Writing Poems

I can't recall when I started writing poems. I checked my oldest poem in my collection. It dates in the year 1988. That was a year after my sister in law passed away and a year before my father's passing.

But I can recall when I started writing or what got me interested in writing poems. I am not a good speller. English was not my subject in school. I actually failed an English class in my college years.

I like to write poems it ministers to me. It brings out inspiration in me. I can use my imagination as write.

I thank God for this gift that I have. May more things come so I will be inspirited to write in to a poem. May I continue to use this gift to bless others as well.

Into The Easter Season

I'm moving on into the Easter Season. I broke my fasting. I have control over the T.V. One of the things I gave up was watching what I wanted to watch for 46 days.

I learned some things through prayer and fasting. I need to do this more often. Not just during Lent season but throughout other occasions in the year.

I learned that God speaks to me in ways that I don't normally aware of when I am about my way of doing things. God gets my attention.

God is so good. He is an awesome God. Amen.

Easter Continues

I had a wonderful Easter Sunday. Happy Easter Monday! Pentecost is coming. The church's birthday 50 days after Easter Sunday.

I saw the sunrise on Easter Sunday. It was so beautiful to see. It was a cloudy morning but we were allowed to see the sunrise. Praise God!

This is my second poem of the Easter sunrise. It was an after though. I enjoy God's creation.

Seen In Those Clouds

Awaken one morning
Watching window sky

Not knowing what be
As the time went by

There appeared one cross
Then two on each side

With figures, I see
What thoughts Came to me

I set up amazed
Believing what seen

Clouds turn fades away
Another sense gleams

As light opens sky
Rocky wall about

As sunrise came up
My thoughts said a shout

Exploded in me
He rose from the died

Seen in those clouds
As it had been said

By S.A.B

The Garden Tomb

Awaiting to enter
The place where He once laid

Such joy inside of me
As I stand wait near by

Oh the honor to see
This Holy pericous site

Savlation death to life
Brings hope for all to be

The Garden Tomb still here
As for Him, He's risen!

Happy Resurrection Day

HAPPY Easter Sunday!

Thank You, JESUS for every thing!

Enter into the new life that God has for you.
Jesus is Alive!

I witness the sunrise. It was AWESOME! The sky was mostly cloudy. But we were allowed to see the see rise. Thank You, Father God.

I wrote a poem about the sunrise. I had a hard time finding the ending to this poem. I was comparing the Son rise to the sun rising each day as the reminder that Jesus rose from the died. There is no comparison.

Each day has the sun that rises and sets. We can have the joy in seeing one of God's creation when it's there. Each day is a new day. The sun rest each night. We rest for the next day. There is joy that comes in the morning.

Glory Be To God
By S.A.B.

Awaiting the sunrise
On a cold dawn day

So special to see
Easter morn display

The horizon far off
As clouds within

Seems so amazing
As sunrise ascends

The beauty surrounds
Such happy array

Colors of the clouds
Formed faces from rays

Such love came within
Jesus Christ, The Son

Glory be to God
Jesus, number One

Holy Saturday

It was a sad day when Jesus died on that Friday afternoon. What was there to do when the person who would save us from the rule of the Roman government? Sadness fulled the land.

God in Christ died at Calvary Hill. All seemed to be lost forever. What was there to do now?

Remember, Sunday is coming.

Poem # 82 During Lent

On That Dark Day
By S.A.B.

What was it like
On that dark day?

Seemed all by lost
That was the way

A just man killed
That seemed so wrong

Jesus saw death
Was death the song?

But from that day
Life taken saves

He conquered sin
Satan the grave

All things made new
Victory how?

Jesus still lives
His Kingdom, Now!

Good Friday

Enter into this day.

Yes, it's the day remember that God died. Jesus really died on that cross at Calvary.
He entered into His kingdom. He was crowed King of The Jews.

Jesus did the Father's will. Jesus breathe His last at 3PM. He said...It Is Finished!

But that was not the end of the story....He was laid in the Tomb on that Friday evening. But that wasn't the end of this story...

Sunday is coming.

Passover

It's the season of unleavened bread. It's a Jewish feast. This was the day Jesus went to the Upper Room to have His last supper with His disciples.

I am thankful that I can go to our Upper Room. It a large room where many come and pray and worship God. There is a table there.

A table that is prepared for us. It's The Lord's Supper. I part take of communion when I go there.

Today's communion partaking is special. It's Passover. I can take the Passover meal with a friend.

Entering into the season of the cross. Taking up my cross and heading to Calvary's Hill.

The weekend that changed the world.

Sunday is coming.

Into New Year

It's a new year for me. I've been rejoicing in this new season that I'm in. I wasn't going to post things about my birthday. But I've changed my mind.

I see things in a new light now. Birthdays are important to me. I see that's a time to be joyful for what God has blessed me with.

I no longer fret over those who forget my birthday. It's a waste of my time. Also it steal my joy.

I've moved on past the things of the past. I see brighter and rewarding things ahead. I thank God for those who celebrate my birthday with me.

God is so good to place people in my life. I am so glad to be apart of the Kingdom of God. By the way, I had a GREAT Birthday!

While the years come when

From there, past it by
May time be on high

Look to what's ahead
As being now lead

With wisdom at hand
Years in time will stand

No matter the age

By S.A.B.

Year Comes To A Close

Another year is coming.
I thank God for this past year.

I pray that I will go as the Spirit leads me.
Things have been changing.

I need to see the good in what's ahead.
God is moving me.

God gave me Life to live.

May I live as God wants me to.
To be all that He has called me to be.
