To Better Ourselves

God's Spirit moves us
In ways that we know
It's Him who does it
We reap what we sow

God hears our heart's cry
Jesus, why? Oh, why?
Must this thing happen
Hard to say good bye

God prepares the way
To follow His lead
To Better Ourselves
God is all we need

Things Brings Some Wonder

An interesting day
Getting on the go
Things didn't think of
While getting info

Some new of this thing
Things that bring wonder
Into didn't know
Pulls me right under

Into some thing else
That keeps one going
Can't know all things
But piece what knowing

On the family tree
Mystery unfold
Things Bring Some Wonder
The stories unfold

On The Wings Of Time

Waiting takes some time
Longer than what thought
That's how life can be
Those things that  are brought

In the waiting room
Waiting as it's taught
Life is full of wait
Yet time can be sought

On the wings of time
Sitting as it be
Life is in waiting
What more can we see?

Time waiting to come
Longer than the thought
On The Wings Of Time
Wonder waits its caught

Done Life Together

Seventy five years
The two became one
Long long time ago
Not already done

Journey throughout life
In the good and bad
Through thick, through thin
With all that they had

They stuck together
Even to the end
Lived life together
Didn't know if, when

Death came in that day
Departed move on
Done Life TogetherRecall once upon

Filling In The Blanks

Overlooked a page
Got to fill it in
Wonder what to say?
In all and if when

Leaving out no doubt

Calm WIthin The Storm

God brings us His peace
When things go array
Peace like a river
Than water it stays

Calm within the storm
No movement is made
Peace calms the river
The worry soon fades

God is wonderful
In all that He does
Calm within the storm
Oh, it's just because

God is Almighty
For He is of peace
Calm Within The Storm
All chaos will cease

Mind wondering still
Don't know what to do
Going in circles
How can I get through?

Need to make payments

Think on God's goodness
That I am still here
Going In Circles
Wonder who else cares?

Dawn of new day
Coming to become
Another today
In all of them some

Each day is different
On our journey road
Spend out everyday
Until it all sold

Making the up most
Out of all to do

As we're passing through

Live in the moment
Each day that goes by
Life Is A Journey,
Even when we die

Exploring This Space

Watching a bird fly
Hitting a glass wall
Fell down on the ground
But that wasn't all

The bird got back up
Walking on the ground
Flew again to glass
There, I think it found

No way to go through
So flew to a tree
That was close around
Landed there to see

To where next to go
Bird flew on its way
Exploring This Space
Looking bout the days

In Solomon's Porch
The place where I'm at
Sitting, thinking some
Wearing my black hat

Wondering what to write
As I'm sitting here
Coldness in the air
While resting in chair

Hear nose surrounding
Voices near by far
Other sounds sound weird
Don't know what they are

In the porch writing
This poem as it comes
In Solomon's Porch
Here restin up some

Awaken The Sky

Beauty in the clouds
Puffy looking flat
Shades to whitish gray
Amazed to look at

Gliding across sky
As going about
Headed homeward
Expression without

Uttering a word
In silence not still
Awaken the sky
In actions brings thrill

Clouds of such beauty
Aline the whole view
Awaken The Sky
Beauty comes anew

Got To Keep Going

Been along long day
Quick rest there and then
One thing after one
Going until end

The day is nearing
Time is about done
For the day that is
It's been along one

Can't let it stop now
Finish out this day
One thing after one
Not going astray

For a little while
Longer in this day
Got To Keep Going
Take some time to pray

How Much More Can Take?

Feeling so restless
Things that comes to be
On going nagging
Things don't want to see

When will these things end?
How much more to take?
Only go so far
In life that can make

Up, not go under
In what we can do
HowMuch More Can Take
We got to get through

In One Given Day

Been thrown off a bit
Getting back on track
Things came in the way
Tried to make it back

What was needed done
Way too much to do
In one given day
Tripped up getting through

Needing some order
Throughout everyday
Things came in the way
Learn how to delay

Do the very best
In making ends meet
In one given day
Learning how to greet.

Got To Have Order

So much going on
Don't know what to do
Did some things of wrong
Than went back look through

Some papers some what
To get some one's news
Need to have order
Not to be confuse

Stop wasting the time
Should know where things are
Organizing things
Don't feel like at war

Thinking, to recall
Where some things are at
Got To Have Order
As simple as that

Awaken each day
With a brand new start
Need to look ahead
Searching with heart

Old things past away
New things to declare
In new beginnings
Stepping out with care

To see what's ahead
Believing on through

Don't know when life's due

So each day special
Live life in today
Don't Know When Life's Due
Keep living God's way

Blows Ways Of Thinking

Awaken with snow
On the grass surrounds
Looked so weird to see
No snow on streets found

Amazing to view
Green grass with the snow
Flowers, trees, blooming
Things go with the flow

Strange weather changes
See things shouldn't be
Blows ways of thinking
A wonder to see

Warm Winter weather
To Springtime with snow
Blows Ways Of Thinking
How more we dont' know?
