Through The Years Changes Come

Thinking of how things change
It's not what use to be

Past seem to be long gone
Those things we us to see

Died gone with the new things
That replaces what's now old

Through the years changes come
That's how things get on hold

Where God Can Use Us

Pressure in life comes
Within daily trials

Deal with what's at hand
It may be awhile

In time things can change
In us the stress leaves

There's less worrisome
Where in God we cleave

Casting all our cares
So we can be free

Where God can use us
So all can just be

With leads only to You.

There come a time in life
To where we just don't know

Lived a short four years

Move With New Mind Set

Why is it we don't say
What we think will stray?

Think others will go where?
Cause someone isn't there

Is it fear that brings doubt?

Keep hope alive in heart
Even if have to re-start

Why do we think that way?
Think twice, It's a new day!

Move with new mind set
To seek God not to fret

Waiting to cross over
Into what lies ahead

Not knowing where going
In direction now lead

Just Leave What Has Past

It's time to step up
Step up to the plate

Waste no time standing
Remember this date

Focus on the NOW

Just leave what has past
Due time you'll think, WOW!

Year has now ended

Calm Brings The Joy

Wind blows so strong

I like to look at the clouds after a storm.
There are things that comes about...
There can be a lot of drama in any storm.

Nature can speak...
But in the storms of life we can see darkness.
In the darkness there comes some light.
That light of revelation in the storm.

The Son of God is there in the midst of all our storms in life.
The love of God brings comfort and warmth upon us all around.

There is a peace that we can understand in the storm.
There is a calmness that we feel.
Pray before during in and after the storms of life.

Pull Away From Danger

What pulls us to danger?
Those things not good for us

Seem to be drawn back to
What we should leave, not trust

Holding on by a string
When needing to let go

It's like hooked on danger
Not letting go of flow

Just cut loose from the string
Break away from old ties

Pull away from danger
No matter what, its' wise

How did I come up with this poem?
I see in life we go in cycles...
Going through the same old issues.
Why don't we wise up and let go?
It's the same old thing.

It's hurting us to stay on the journey.
What pulls us to danger?
Are we blinded by what we fear might happened?
Or is it we enjoy the thrill?

We need to believe God and move on.
We need to let go of the string.
and cut loose from old lies and ties of life.

Start anew.

Words Had Left Silence's Life

Silence listeners stay low
Behind the scene to read

Not uttering a word
Waiting to hear what's said

As time passes each year
Words seem to die away

Silence began to speak
Words with nothing to say

Just sitting in silence
Not a word that was said

Words had left silence's life
Without words to dread

Ever wondered why people read what others say but never speak?
People who read blogs or whatever.
They enjoy reading but not saying things.

The words die away, silent people what to speak.
But the writer is left with nothing to say.
Silence's life is silent.

We will never know how much we bless others.
Without commenting or speaking how will others know?

Believe By Faith, Trust God

Once Died Has Come Alive

Remember on that Day
Long long long time ago

All appeared to be lost
Darkness began to flow

Didn't know what to do next
At the end of crossroad

Still torn by what happened
Such burden heavy load

When will this pain go away?
How much more can we bare?

Good news comes upon us
What joy there inside grown

Once died has come alive
For it's becomes now known
