Beginning Again

Beginning again, Seeing things anew
Not as use to be, But, better, been through

With what once was than, Has far long been changed
Moving with the flow, Better to arrange

To begin again, Starting over new
Thinking, believing, There's a better you

Being birth, each day, As time goes along
Keeping with God's plan, Growing, being strong

In the things of God, Seeing things anew
Beginning again, Life's journey on through

Awaiting The Dawn

Awaiting the dawn, In this day of rest
Sun already down, Done my very best

Thinking wondering, New start awaits
Sunrise in morning, while night still up late

All prepared ahead, God's mercy still flows
Every morning past, Wherever I go

Awaiting, standing, What might to foresee
Long in the waiting, Resting as it be

In the dark of night, In prayer, at rest
Awaiting the dawn, In the dark, more less

It's Time To Reach Out

It's time to reach out, Touch another's heart
Let them know you care, A good place to start

Just right where you're at, The people surrounds
You, besides all that, Not making a sound

But, showing they care, Gesturing a smile
Words expressed from heart, Linger for a while

Deep within the soul, Awakens the heart
Great wonder; express, God's creation; art

So, full of beauty Let's connect, Let's live
It's time to reach out, Let's learn how to give

When Life Throws A Curve

When life throws a curve, Don't know what to do
Like out of nowhere, Didn't have a clue

Blinded by the light, Not seeing things straight
Exposed in darkness,  Reality, debate

Clarity to life, Can't believe, it's so
Thrush into no where, Believing, we know

We all have issues, We need not to fear
The Lord is with us, He loves us so dear

Remember He's there, In all that we do
When life throws a curve, God, please help us through

Holding On By Faith

Holding on by faith, What God has spoken
Whatever has come, Whatever been broken

For God knows what's best, In what comes our way
Keeping the faith life, Yearning how to pray

Whatever may come, Whatever may be
The glory of God, We all long to see

Here upon the earth, Coming from above
God's glory to be, Blessings and His Love

From wherever comes, Seated in this place
Holding on by faith, Seeking God, His grace

It's time to say bye, Believing way through

What God will bring here, Coming down to earth

New doors opening, While another shuts

Searching more deeper, Thinking, what's the need?

To ask of others, How connected on the tree
Hoping they'll reply, And able to see

Where ancestors fit, The time, in places
Adding more info, Seeing more faces

To wonder amazed, A mystery to solved
If can with some help, Hoping to resolve

Good feeling inside, Hoping this is it

Rewards some prizes Awaiting each day

Memories linger, A family affair

Being together, Again on that day
Who goes to heaven? And who's on the way?

Shinny stars dancing, In the morning light

Mysteries above, Only to wonder
What will happen next? No doubt what's under

Or above, beneath, Heaven on earth

Cold wind lingering, Oh, boy! how time flies

Standing awaiting To do what, to do
Eating, enjoying, To past the time through

Walking and searching, The way out of maze
Rejoicing, thanking, God for this good day

Memories that last, In heart of good cheer

Have to go elsewhere, Not fearing dismay

Just got to move on, From the airway here
The coldness there so, In the people so dear

But, far in speaking, Not a word to be
Of interest in life, But, only to see

Interacting as, Sisters and brothers

Going Much Deeper

Going much deeper, In God, as of now
Moving closer still, Kneeling, face to bow

Nor looking around, Focus and clinging
On Jesus, God's Word, The Hope He's bringing

To make all things new, Becoming alive
On the journey life, Pressing to strive

In all that I do, Seeking, the Savior
Going much deeper, Changing behavior

Looking Straight Ahead

Looing straight ahead, Crossing over soon
Feeing an unrest, But, staying in tune

With the Spirit man, Who's leading the way
Another years comes, Dawning a new day

Awake beginning Create works of art
Clean slant, blank pages Fresh ink, learn by heart

What's right, from the wrong By changing mind set
Looking straight ahead, Another door shuts

Precious memories, In closeness; brings care

For one another, Oh, how good to see

So trust in His ways, Doing what He says

Spending way too much, Don't need something new

Learn to do without, Using what I got
Having to take back, On things, I do not

De cluttering life, Things are obsession

Not in control of, What was use to be
Needing to cut back, More clearer, I'll see

Awaken from sleep Excuses, because

The vision been lost, The dreams once spoken
Been long time ago, Through time, got broken

Needing time to rest, Always on the go
Having to slow down, Past time, overflow

Relax take a break, Take a seat, sit down
Take time for yourself ,Take a look around

Enjoy the good life It's all meant to be
There's time for working, There's a time to see

Balance the two things, Learning not to stray
Needing time to rest, Have some fun time, play

Long Productive Day

Long productive day And got a lot done
More than what I thought Doing one by one

Hoping to do more In time, this will pass
Making some process While doing each task

Good feeling pacing About what to plan
Not as a machine Doing what I can

Not over doing Things no time to waste
Long productive day Learning how to pace

Hearing And Hearing

Hearing and hearing Once upon a time
Came at a crossroad Early in my prime

Not knowing what's what Or if it will work
Confusion, a method Thinking like a jerk

Fear moving inward Stop, looking ahead
Thoughts into hearing On what was then said

Making decisions  On what need to do
Letting those things go Pressing my way through

Came at a crossroad Believing made whole
Hearing and hearing Goodness to unfold
