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

God sends surprises
Bring them into light

To awaken us
And give us insight

What progress we make
As we go about

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

Come Let Us Believe

Searching long to find
Clues that make some sense

Along this journey
Things become intense

Wanting to know more
As leads come to be

LORD, help us to find
What's there here to see

In our search for things
With leads only to You.

Come let us believe
That You'll see us through

Through His Plan From The Start

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

What to say, what to do
But still we sure grow

Thought out life's journey path
To where we come to see

We're part of life's treasures
Where God wants us to be

In His Kingdom to come
Where His will, isn't shun

Through His plan from the start
The battle isn't done

Yep Dogs WIll Be Dogs

Sad to hear the news
Sugar Bear is died

Lived a short four years
She had a hard head

It was that last climb
That just done her in

Still too many times
Got away with then

This time it cost her
Her life is no more

Yep, dogs will be dogs
But, we still adore

What life is meant to be
In Christ who sets us free

Needing a Holy bath

Life Is Worth Living

In the overflow
Of what use to be

Make the most of time
Yet there's more to see

That brings forth no doubt

Here comes the overflow
Jump in, see indeed

Life is worth living
In life we plant seeds

Onward With Those Things

Thinking of what than
Just how to get through?

Fear that holds us back
Not wanting to go

Onward with those things
Or just stop the flow?

Get Back On The Plan

Get back o the plan
Need to make the fit

SO that's tip top shape
Exercise a bit

Go through the motions
Get where need to be

But through the process
You can come to see

Life that's coming back
The weight trimming down

Get back on the plan
Got to lose some pounds

Changes Come Through Change

Changing ways from past
To make things anew

Not much time to lose
Keep on going through

Not to get off track
When thrown back a step

Move on the journey
Just know what's been kept

God's promises, truth
Believe them to be so

Changes come through change
It's good that you flow.

We lose the touch
As life goes on

From when they dawn

From that new day
Once now has passed

Forgotten things

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?
To where we want to shout

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

Keep Looking Around To See

Surprises come to be known
As sitting out in ways shown

The familiar place where go
That's bringing comfort that flows

The goodness that's there for us
In all to propel us through

Keep looking around to see
What surprises there to be

Become More Like Jesus

Waiting to cross over
Into what lies ahead

Not knowing where going
In direction now lead

Walking by faith, thinking
what's there for us to see

Believing that Jesus
Will allow us to be

Come more in His likeness
Where progress passes by

Become more like Jesus
Our poor flesh has to die

Just Leave What Has Past

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

Waste no time standing
Remember this date

Mark this time and place
So you won't forget

What you have been through
Not made to regret

Clear your old thinking
Focus on the NOW

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

Jerusalem Bound

What revelation
Upon that one day

A word came from God
What more can I say

It brought me such joy
In hearing that word

So clear inside me
To when then I heard

Came to my spirit
Thunder in my soul

Jerusalem bound
As it was foretold

Comes From All WIthin

When the day after
Birthday came to be

A blessing in life
Where others now see

Good things to let known
That others do care

About life well spent
With all who are dear

Come to now, believe
The joy in living

Comes from all within
As we start giving

How I came to write this poem?
The day before and after my birthday are special too.
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.
