Walking All Those Steps

What a long journey
As it comes to end

I can't believe this
It took my last wind

Walking up those steps
How did I do it?

Oh, those last ten
Wore me out a bit

Thank God for a drink
A rest at the top

Walking all those steps
Yet, we didn't drop

Great Outdoors Adventures

Sitting here on this bench
Looking across the field

Things seems so far away
My thoughts so want to yield

Sun beaming on my neck
Hot as even could be

Placed towel on my neck
Comfort that I could see

Time seems to go so fast
As things moved downward way

Great out doors adventures
What a beautiful day!

Our Habits Reveal How We live

Curving desires to have what we want

These habits, wanting we shouldn't
We need discipline in our ways

Each choice we make can display

Our habits can change how we might feel
What we believe or how we think

Our habits reveal how we live
Our lives, as we fill in the blanks

Where there seems to be no end

As when there's no place to turn
Why does it seem we won't win?

Yet, We Can Give

In the long run
The truth comes out

Life isn't fun
When things aren't right

Feel out of place
Where things go wrong

How should we face
What we go through?

Slow down to live
Speaking the truth

Yet, we can give
Words to others

Cheerful Dawing Day

Cool morning dawning
What away to be

Awake by this day
Joy of what to see

Brighten up our day
Awaken our souls

Cheerful dawning day
Does it fit the mole?

God Is Always Present

With God's presence, His grace

So pleasant to just be
In silent, there on knees

Be Disciples Not Hypocrites

Not an actress on a stage
Nor to perform entertain

I'm a disciple of Jesus
God's will I want to contain

While being transformed by Him
Becoming as I'm to be

In the imagine of Jesus
Transformed so others can see

The beauty of God's glory
Displayed as the Jesus Way

Be disciples not hypocrites
Please God throughout our days.

Reading Between Each Word

What Joy To Conceive

Good to sit to rest
A while its the best

Not many here, yet
As we think and set

Until meeting starts
Come listen at heart

No plans to be late

Waiting with good cheer

What joy to conceive
In all we believe

Music playing loud

Sharing can be fun
Not loosely but mild
