Sharing Can Be Fun

In the cool cool air
Slipping on a drink

A smoothie I add
Here, I come to think

A poem to write
Sitting here a spell

Ponder what to share
Not much here to dwell

People walking by
Music playing loud

Sharing can be fun
Not loosely but mild

When Not For Sure

Learn to wait well
When don't get way

Abide in good
Hear what you say

In worst of times
Look for the best

Not in the bad
For its a test

That comes in ways
Yet we don't see

When not for sure
Go to your knee

Each Day A Gift From God

Another day has come
Arise set forth let's do

The will of God that's there
The life that we go through

Come read His written word
Allow God to use you

Not like done before

Dark rainy wet land at dawn

No light insight, look around

Thundering lighting outside

Break Away From What's Not So

At times, in need, turn away
From things not going any where

Like standing at a stand still
Not moving forward from there

Making no progress through time
Fix on moving on with it

Wait on God, then rest a bit

Going in cycles of time
Brings experiences learned

Break away from what's not so
Turn to things that heart so yearn.

Salvation For All

Order is needed
In all that's to do

Life the Jesus way
In order to get through

God's kingdom to come
God's will be done

For all His glory
Because of His Son

Life Has Flood Waters That Come

We don't know what life is like
With others who have gone through

Trials issues that come about
Where we just don't have a clue

How they went through such sorrow
The hurt we can't even see

Wounds so deep inside the soul
How this horror came to be

God is the healer for all
No matter how bad it seems

Life has flood waters that come
May God be in all our streams

People being abused through life
Stuck in a prison chained by fear

What causes them to stay like that?
A place of bondage not made free
