I'll Wait
I sometimes wonder
though I know I have to wait
You told me once, so I know

I make no excuse
I’ll trust in you to tell me
I know you’re always on time

Top


Fluffy with softness
I remember your caress
holding me tightly with ease

Saying you love me
I felt it with every word
lingering after we talked

Top


Maturing holy
catching a glimpse of god’s will
captures His essence

sitting quietly
listening with alertness
yet the mind is still

Top


Butchering the will
prefaces the master’s plan
He’s timely and in order

A heart’s surrender
New mercies gracefully gave
a restoral of the soul

Top


Sunrise to sunset
troubles turn into blessings
our father delivers them

morning to evening
shadows casting out the doubts
complacency turns to zeal

Top


Walking past the trap
eyes see with an open heart
once trampled and beaten down.

Elusive and calm
the heart sees past the raw pain
Love keeps no record of wrongs

Top


Plan
I walked along a stretch of pavement
A leaf rolled toward me from the distance
The sound and action thrilled me
Like fingers of a dying flower, crying
Hungry for a connection to God
I was in tune with the universe
And connected to the wind.
The tidewater of my soul
Moaning and then floating free
Preparing me for the future
God’s amazing plan for me.

Top


God
God
will fight
from dawn’s light
‘til stars come out
watch

Top


Usury
stop
give back
usury
fields, wine, oil, grain
groves

Top


God's Favor
God’s
favor
rests with those
who fear and love
Him

Top


Jerusalem
a
spacious
city yet
few people there
then

Top


A Beautiful Smile
Pleasantry
Chemistry
Denistry
Ministry
The sweetest pleasantry, outlines chemistry
The beautiful smile, showcasing denistry, a great ministry

Top


Styling With A Smile
Smiling
Styling
Caring
Loving
Some would think smilling is styling, not sharing
But more importantly, it means loving and caring

Top


The Joker's Wire
Jokingly
Shockingly
Alarmingly
Amazingly
Jokingly he shockingly caused a fire
When alarmingly he amazingly brushed the wire
