Trio

Teacups are treasures
And lovely to show
Even more striking
When all in a row



Beautiful flowers
Like words in a rhyme
A lasting impression
Endless in time


A lovely arrangement
Created just so
A novel idea
Worthy of show

Love In Your Soul

 

Love is the feeling you have in your soul

When Jesus, the Savior, has control.

The Father in Heaven cleanses our sin

When we ask Jesus to enter in.

Our sin is exchanged for His righteousness

And wholeness replaces our emptiness.

Contest Submissions

Submissions are coming

But I've only got four.

Requiring ten,

Means I still need more.

Remember the prize

As your incentive.

To the contest winner

I'll readily give.

In Other People's Shoes

We never know what life is like
In other people’s shoes.
Although we talk and share,
We may not have a clue.
Despite the commonality
Of symptoms and such,
We all have other issues
That make our life more tough.
So each is individual,
Unique to only us.
And living without judgement
Would really be a plus!

How Lovely the Moment, How Lovely the Lord

How lovely the moment
When we in our prayer
Can sense your sweet presence
And genuine care
How special the times
Of intimacy
When confiding in you
And being set free
How awesome the power
We see in your hand
The works of the spirit
And marvelous plan
How sweet is the victory
That we can receive
If deep in our hearts
We truly believe

Your Call

May my life be unassuming,
Unoffensive or humble.
Since this is life after the fall,
May I not tumble.
May I meet your expectations
And may I with you stand tall.
May the good that people see in me
Be known to be your call.

Are You Game?

 

I thought I would write

To see who is game

For a poetry contest

Yet again

The prize is the same

But the topic is new

So write about "Friendship"

And what it means to you

Make sure that it rhymes

And comes from the heart

The sooner you send it

The sooner we'll start

Don't post it online

That's done at the end

Once the winner's announced

We'll show to your friends

Just send it through e-mail

To qualify you

And hope that the judges

Like what you do
