Yep Dogs WIll Be Dogs

Sad to hear the news
Sugar Bear is died

Lived a short four years
She had a hard head

That just done her in

Still too many times
Got away with then

Her life is no more

Changing ways from past
To make things anew

Not much time to lose
Keep on going through

Believe them to be so

Changes come through change

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

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

I thank God for the people who wished me happy birthday.
It's a blessing when we see others wishing us well.

There tends to be a down side during my birthday.
There are people who always forget my birthday.
I have come so use to that now.
I see that those who remember year after year are the ones who care.
Even when they forget on the day, they come to say happy belated birthday.
That's the joy of giving while living.

By Enjoying Each Moment

When others come and wish us happy birthday, they are celebration with us.

The beauty of God's blessings are expressed in what others do for others.
Whether wishing good to others or encouraging them.
Each day passes away and will not come again the same way.
There are times we miss the special days of our family member of friends life.
Time passes away, it can't be replaced.

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

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 with nothing to say

Just sitting in silence
Not a word that was said

Words had left silence's life
Without words to dread

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

To have what's there to be

How excited this is
What a wonder yet be

Arise with joy in heart

How God has set me free

Rejoicing for He's God

There are things that appear will never end.
Then suddenly there come a change in what we think or do.

The long awaiting to see some things come.
We rejoice in what God is doing.
At times we don't see the good in things.
But, as we look back, we can see things clearer.

There's Something We Don't See

Trying to make things work
But, how can this thing be?

Like voices don't matter
Do others come to see?

Where we are coming from
Or how we might be heard?

Wanting the unity
Yet, listening not a word

So, what are we missing?
What is it we don't get?

There's something we don't see
May we all learn a bit

After Thoughts:
How I came up with this poem?
There was an issue that kept coming up.
When ideas and suggestions were mentioned....
It was like what was said was not heard.
We want things to be in unity but not hear what others say.
How is that being in unity?

What is the point in saying some things?
Do each voice matter?
We can learn from others when they don't see others' point of view.
It's not who's right or who's wrong.
It's working together as a team.
Or is it something we all don't see?

Do We Care About Them?

Do we consider others?
What we do, they can see

The good, bad, the ugly
Those mishaps we let be

No correction on them
Building up stuff that goes

Inside that comes outward
Feeling the hurt that flows

Tend not to see what's there
In all see shame that shows

It's bringing deception
Such thoughts that fades away

Do we care about them?
OR let them go astray

I was thinking about the little things we do.
We don't correct things that others see in us.
We can do one thing for others but not for another.

How we can thank someone for our birthdays,
But not thanking another who wish the same thing.
Is it that we don't know that person?
Or just wanting the wish?

Still there should be some respect to people who don't know.
It bring hurt to others who are left out especially friends.

Do we care about them? Them the others who we don't know...
Or are we pleasing our closer friends to make them feel better?

We should be kind to all who are kind to us.
We are no lesser than another.
We should show some love.
We are all loved by GOD.
