Poem: September 11, 2001

Failing to understand

why our nation is great,

an opportunity was sought

by souls cowardly lying in wait.

Focused on pure evil

as they have continually done,

an unholy attack was unleashed

on a day now known as 9-1-1.

Via the destruction

of New York's "Twin Towers"

the enemy crushed a symbol

of U.S. monetary power.

Beyond the resources to rebuild,

our country operates from a wealthy mindset;

so we can easily… Continue

Poem: Visionless?

Visionless is no way to be:

having sight, yet unable to see.

Soul's blindness that's dark and deep

indicates your spirit is fast asleep.

Use the Word to ignite your inner spark

and awaken your slumber by the Lord's Light.

To have Life's purpose and meaning for self

promotes character and personal delight.

Having vision is intended for all,

so get fitted with some new glasses.

Accomplishments are attainable, provided… Continue

Poem: Danger of Zealous Fervor

Yes, the goal is to reach souls;

but at what further cost?

Unacceptable is using fear as mind control

for reaching those considered 'lost'.

When not as an example of victorious living,

the principles of God appear to lose credibility.

If not demonstrating a God that's loving,

then appeal of the Kingdom lacks desirability.

To berate skeptical souls with Hell's threat

will deliberately cause immediate offense.

Salvation is not a game… Continue

Poem: Eternity

In the quiet garden of Heaven,

one day I'll walk beneath the trees

with the coolness of God's Spirit

flowing more gently than an Earthly breeze.

In the royal kingdom of priests,

I'll run barefoot on streets of soft gold,

overwhelmed by the perfection of peace,

following where angels had previously strolled.

Before the awesome throne room,

I'll exude continual heartfelt praise

as part of God's familial host

safe and secure in… Continue

Poem: A Sinner Like Me

Pushing this flesh into alignment,

guided by The Word most holy and pure,

I'm striving to learn principles

for a sanctified life to endure.

My Lord loves me without hesitation

and allowed a part of Himself to die.

He's calling me homeward without reservation;

by His Spirit, to His side, I'll eventually fly.

Knowing I'm a child of His,

during trying times I find true encouragement.

I'm able to lean on His strength

while in search… Continue

Poem: His Blessings

His blessings upon my life flow -

No matter where I am

or wherever I happen to go.

Overcoming the curse of Mankind,

is a consuming, infinite Love

from the One declared divine.

As I continue inside His Will,

sheltered by Sacrificial grace,

His many promises are fulfilled.

Truly blessed, to be a blessing

is simple for anyone to see -

As I'm fully submerged... in God's covering.

Poem: My Proverbs 31 Wife

My earthly desire is to have...

a woman comprised of softness,

both in flesh and soul.

Her presence offsets the hardness

of everyday living that bluntly smacks me.

To be with a spirit, overflowing with joy,

greeting me daily with unexpected sweetness,

soothes all internal bruises from

the day's accumulation of subtle brutality.

Rubies belie her value to me;

her natural radiance permeates my core,

allowing me to experience… Continue

Poem: Spiritual Irony

Foolishness of Jehovah

exceeds the wisdom of Mankind;

torture by crucifixion

was to serve as a deterrent

to stop all forms of crime.

Inhumane treatment

demonstrates insatiable blood thirst

in a vain attempt to bring out

the best character of man

by placing World's justice system first.

However, death of the Innocent Lamb,

a perfect sacrifice God did decree

to bridge the gap of sin

using Man's worst punishment

in a… Continue

Poem: Nothing Gold Can Stay

Standing at the threshold

of Death's ultimate door,

my last gasp escapes me...

As I've never experienced before.

Into the Heavenly realm

I ascend in wonderment,

now housed in an incorruptible body

and thankful that from sin I did repent.

Standing in God's throne room

freed of all Earthly flesh,

my spiritual essence is energized

and feeling fully refreshed.

Now gathered unto my Savior,

unencumbered reality is more… Continue

Poem: Enjoy This Season

Withering grass of this season

with your abundance of green,

take advantage of Today -

Contribute to this Earthly scene.

Enjoy your present strength;

ignore worries of the past.

Let the distant failures fade

and let sweeter memories last.

Be true to yourself always,

standing tall and strong.

Focus on your own meadows and...

Learn to hum to Life's song.
