Medley of Poems


Life and Love


Life is for the learning, but too often we stumble
Love is for the simple of heart and the humble
Of both, we can share with neighbor and friend
and give freely to those who don't understand
Because it is not our life and love we share
It is given by the Father so we may care

And let ours also learn to maintain good works for necessary uses, that they be not unfruitful. Titus 3:14

A Prayer For You

May your life reflect Christ's Love
May your treasures be stored above
May Jesus Christ be all you need
then you will have perfect joy indeed
May you be courageous and endure till the end
so we'll be together in the Promised Land

Seek the Lord and His strength, seek His face continually. 1 Chronicles 16:11

Real Love

Love is something you cannot feel
although it is so very real
Love is something you cannot teach
but it's sure able to reach
Love is nowhere in this world for sale
when God given, will never grow stale
It only can be found
where Jesus is around

But God commends His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: He preserves the souls of His saints; He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. Psalms 97:10




Reflection

Reflecting on your life
brings one thing to mind;
a beautiful baby boy
 just one of a kind 

a teenager lad
as wild as can be
wandering the woods
crossing the rough sea

a young groom
holding his bride tenderly
a father of four
filled with glee

a greying man
who from this world does flee
It's all the same person
how can it be

Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the LORD your God. Joshua 23:11


To A Friend

Though the future may at times look dim
you can have "Light", because of Him
If your mind appears to be in gloom
you still can choose salvation or doom
Either one, can be the choice you make
please, decide wisely, for your own sake

Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away. Proverbs 4:14,15


Disappointment

It is not easy to see this world go all to pieces
as you walk with Him, from this stress He releases
Although the world's future does not look that bright
New heaven 'n earth awaits them, who're in the Light
So remember that my prayer for you will always be
to be strong in Him and not to flee


Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes. For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. Proverbs 3:25,26

Deeds, Not Only Words

I don't know what to write to you
because words will fade away
They often lose their meaning
or change from day to day

So, what I think I'll try to do
to keep my love for you
is not with promises or fancy words
but to take each day anew

I know, I need God's help in this
so I can do it right
to show my deeds, not only words
to make our love grow tight

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. James 1:22

I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. Philippians 4:13


Thinking About You

Sometimes it's hard to know what to say
although there is much in my heart today
In years gone by, I have shown you the chart
now it is up to you to do your part

Many times unto the Lord I've cried
that you may see Jesus crucified
that you may give your life to Him
before it's too late and lights grow dim

Time goes fast and years fly by
don't waste your life, is my cry
Friends all may come and go
and you're old before you know

Your strength and beauty will disappear
there's no hope outside of Christ, I fear
So what will you have left at the end
if Jesus is not holding your hand?

Bow down thine ear, and hear the words of the wise, and apply thine heart unto My knowledge. For it is a pleasant thing if thou keep them within thee; they shall withal be fitted in thy lips. Proverbs 22:17,18

Another Year

May you feel, through this coming year
Jesus' presence very near
that in all the decisions you have to make
the wisdom of the Lord will overtake
and in all things you do or say
Jesus will be glorified, I pray

Wisdom rests in the heart of him who has understanding. Proverbs 14:33 a
