Poem - I'm a Survivor

That moment when I heard the door closing behind
with all my memories inside,
my heart stopped beating.

I can't remember how I made it to the next corner
my body kept pushing for a safe place to hide.
This road I had to travel taught me how to survive
the people I met along the way were a true blessing.

When you think there is no way out
God will send one of his Angels to make it right.

Poem - Teach Me, Lord

Teach me, Lord,
What I don't know
Show me which way
And where to go
Alone I stumble
Alone I fall
But your gentle voice
Leads through it all
Take my hand
Light my way
Be my beacon
Night and day
I am weak
And sometimes so low
But you give me strength
And make me whole
Teach me, Lord and Father,
Your child has become like new
Empty me of myself
So I can live for you

Poem - There Is A God

There is a place called heaven

This I can undoubtedly say

Without any hesitation

Of what this message conveys

There are no words to describe it

No visuals that can compare

Such as roads of gold or gates that scroll

Beyond Earth's hemisphere

One night while I was sleeping

My soul started to be raised

Sitting up from within my body

With arms in heavenly praise

What brought this spiritual moment

This I do not know

But the feelings felt within myself

Were shared to me by soul

There was an ultimate feeling of self-giving

A surrendering of my total being

No other thoughts came to mind

Except praising God as my king

The love I felt was immeasurable

No past love came close to compare

A love so strong and powerful

Yet seemed to have always been there

The soul itself was not a mist 

Or foggy image seen

But an array of electrical colors 

Though formed in my earthly being

As my soul descended back 

To where my body laid

A gasp of air was all it took

To make me step forth and say

Poem - The Autumn Sky

A time has come I've always feared, 
A time without my love.
I break away each night and day,
to plead to the gods above.

A kiss, a hug, or a simple smile,
To fill my heart content.
Instead i dwell in loving hell,
Of times in the past we've spent.

I beg the stars in the autumn sky,
for an answer that fills me sober.
Orion will look which time has took,
August, September, and October.

I have faith in dear Cephius,
For he points in your direction.
Please send my note in loves devote,
My message of love and affection.

Poem - Life's Garden

Surround yourself
With the goodness of God.
When you see the things good,
Give them a nod. 
But for things that are bad,
Turn and say, No!
For whatever you feed,
Will be that which will grow.

Poem - Touch of Faith

A woman afflicted with a rare blood disorder, reached out a hand and touched a cloth border. The garment was holy as it was what Jesus wear, "Who touched me?" He questioned all who were there. The woman noticed that she was not hid, trembling before him she admitted she did. "I have been healed from the depths of my pain," she told him why and she tried to explain. Jesus called her daughter, brought warmth to her soul, "Be of good comfort thy faith made thee whole."   The heavens are open with the light of His Love, faithful in spirit, sweet blessings above.

Poem - I'm Drowning in Your Grace

*To the One who never gets tired of me, chases after me when I run away, listens to me with utmost care, knows me much and loves me truly than any man on earth, I love You Jesus*

How can I measure the depth
That's way deeper than the great blue seas?
The one that won't let you out of the surface
Lord, I'm drowning in Your grace.

How far can it reach-
The arms so stretched out for a warm embrace?
The kind that lonely souls cannot resist
Lord, I'm drowning in Your grace.

How long does it last-
That loving kindness upon Your face?
The one that is renewed day by day
Lord, I'm drowning in Your grace.

How vast is the love
That You have shown in countless ways?
The kind that's so stubborn it never lets go
Lord, I'm drowning in Your grace.

How can I fully understand
The wonders and beauty of the days
That I'm thankful for I can let myself go
And to drown Lord, in Your deepest grace.

Poem - Trust in the Lord

The wind's not always at our back,
The sky is not always blue.
Sometimes we crave the things we lack,
And don't know what to do.

Sometimes life's an uphill ride,
With mountains we must climb.
At times the river's deep and wide,
And crossing takes some time.

No one said that life is easy,
There are no guarantees.
So Trust in the Lord continually,
On calm or stormy seas.

The challenges we face today,
Prepares us for tomorrow.
For faith takes our fears away,
And peace replaces sorrow.

Poem - Midnight Times

In the midnight times of my life
When everything seems so wrong
Just help me to remember
That Your name will bring a song.

For when I whisper "Jesus"
My darkness turns to day,
I see You here beside me
I can hear the words You say.

You tell me that You love me
That Your son died to set me free,
That I'd never be alone
Because You are here with me.

Lord, help me to remember
My answer is in Your hands
When all else fails, You'll be here
And Your strength will help me stand.

Poem - Thank You Lord

Thank you Lord for the way you love

By giving us more than just enough

When we pray to you up-rightly

Never do you refuse our plea

It may take time to receive your gifts

But we know in our hearts how your Spirit lifts

And gives to us what we need and when

For we’ve seen it happen again and again

Thank you Lord for your perfect will

Teaching us when we’re calm and still

How you think, act and wield your power

At the wisest and most perfect hour

We come to praise and thank you Lord

To worship you in one accord

To say in truth how much we love you

For there is no one else above you

Come to Me - In Memory of my Mother-in-Law

Come to Me
God say you getting tired
when a cure was not to be
so he put his arms around you
and whispered ‘Come to Me’
You didn’t deserve
what you were going through
and so He gave you rest
God’s garden must be beautiful
He Only takes the best
And when I was you sleeping
so peaceful and free of pain
I could not wish you back
to suffer that again

Barbara, I miss you, so does your family here on Earth. I want you to know we love you. You are always in our hearts. Without you, we are lost. The only thing that keeps us going is knowing we will one day be with you again. You will always be in my memories and they are all good ones. You boys will stay strong. I will make sure the family stays together. Fred will be fine. He is in good hands…

Poem - Good Christian

You tell me you're a good Christian,
That's what you have confessed.
You act like you know everything,
Like you're divinely blessed.

You look down on those around you,
With judgment in your eyes.
You cannot be one of the flock,
You want the shepherd's prize.

You claim to know the mind of God,
He whispers in your ear.
You say He shares His will with you,
And you share what you hear.

You act like you're above it all,
Like you are free of sin.
And if we do not follow YOU,
Our souls will be condemned.

But if rebuke should come your way,
With scripture on its side,
You'll just attack my character
With venom born of pride.

You claim to be a good Christian,
But I will disagree.
The one who must exalt himself,
Will never truly see.

For self is all your eyes behold,
To God's will, you are blind.
And if the flock should follow you
A pit is all they'll find.

For he who leads, but can't be led,
Is inane and hollow.
While your own pride and vanity
Are the gods you follow.

The one who lies in our Lord's name
Exalts himself to men.
He blasphemes the Holy Spirit,
And can't be freed from sin.

You claim to be a good Christian,
Insisting this is true.
Yet deep within Hell's pit, you'll find
Good Christians, just like you.

Poem Thank you Heavenly Father

I thank you heavenly father for sustaining me through the night.
I thank you for your love, and the dawns bright light.
I thank you heavenly father for my health, and strength.
I thank you heavenly father for Jesus, your son, that you've sent.

I thank you heavenly father for the fruits and the trees.
I thank you heavenly father for the wind that blows free.
I thank you heavenly father for the sunshine, and rain.
I thank you heavenly father for taking away, all my aches and pain.

I thank you heavenly father for showing me the right way.
I thank you for my burdens that you've lifted today.
I thank you heavenly father, for always being there for me.

Heavenly father, my thanks to you goes beyond infinity.
