I am first and foremost a Christian. I have three children. They are grown and have given me such wonderful grandbabies and two awesome great-grandusons. I love to write poems and testimonies of God's wonderful love. I am going to try this blogging and with God's help I can do this!

Morning Song

“Awaken O Day!” to the morning song!”

Words speak your halos around the moon

Eternal stars twinkle beyond the clouds

Chirping birds call through the dewy air

“Awake!” “Awake!” “Sing praises to God!”

Time is new a precious gift

Not to be wasted or ignored

Minutes flying into the past

Streams of glory ride the ocean’s tide

Misty fingers beckon to the silent fog

“Come see!” “Come See!” “Sing praises to God!”

Sleepy-eyed children cuddle on Mama’s lap

Coffee gives off it’s beguiling scent to say

“Awaken O Day!” to the morning song!”

“Sing Praises!” “Sing Praises!”

“Sing Praises to God!”

He is Here

The voices are stilled within my mind

Where are they hiding?

Silence like soft cotton is all I hear

Never have they been this quiet

I do not trust them-

They always try to be heard

One may be whining

While another cries in dismay

Why is anger not screaming

Causing it’s usual turmoil?

What has happened to shame and regret?

Where are their voices of condemnation?

Why are they so quite?

Then I heard the reason

He is here! That still Small Voice

That hushes all others

My sweet Friend and Comforter-

The Holy Spirit has come

He abides within

The other voices may try to yell

Their cruel barbs

But the One Who calms the storms

Over the wind-swept seas

Has stilled my strife and fears

He has put confusion away from me

And I am at peace again.

Glorious Breath

memories linger

haunting thoughts

deepening hole

can’t breathe

shadows dancing

reaching out

falling-falling

can’t breathe

swirling mist

lost souls

tormenting tears

falling-falling

can’t breathe

catch me-catch me

pleading-bleeding

looking up

expecting hope

lightning flashing

hands reaching

grasping-floating

saving grace

praising-loving

glorious breath

freedom-freedom

rising-rising

Glorious Breath!

Freely Given

Walk through this thing called life

Encounter the happiness

The expectant hope

Fly with the joy of the flower

After refreshing rains

This gift of the day

Freely given

Open it! and live beyond yourself

Into the needs of others

That only love can meet

Thank You, Father!

Every Trail

every trail I have come across

led to every place

I have ever been

whether I took them

or simply passed on by

they knew the way

that led me straight to you

so abide with me

stay close to me

lead as you always do

so that every place

I will ever go

is still the trail

I walk with you.

Cast Away

Cast away, cast away, cast away all

While dancing to the tune of destiny’s call

Coupled by love and pangs of regret

Still going and going but not there yet

Borrowing time on promises made

Cashing in where our dreams were laid

Never fulfilled-life took its toll

Destroyed the moment reality took hold

Can not see into tomorrow nor face the day

Whatever the reason-we went this way

May not have been right-we just don’t know

Seemed like the path we should surely go

Each step has proven this was not the case

Look at us now-hurry-there’s no time to waste

So cast away, cast away, cast away all!

While dancing to the tune of destiny’s call

Cloud Dancing

Butterflies and humming birds

Geese flying south

Feathers and dandelions scurry away

Cottonwoods sing summer’s late song

Kisses thrown on the wind

Fragrance envelopes the rose

Love is born

Life renewed

Hope seen

Cloud dancing

On a crisp blue sky.

Behold the Face

I want to wash all cares away

With living waters so supreme

Sing the glorious’Amazing Grace’

See the smiles of my Savior King.

I want to wear a crown of gold

With jewels so sparkling bright

Live in a mansion like I’ve been told

Bask in the glory of Heaven’ Light.

I want to see my Master’s home

With the angels all around

Smell the fragrance of each room

Listen to each heavenly sound.

I want to be for all eternity

With my Lord and King

Praise Him with heart-felt sincerity

Hear the voices of the angels sing.

I want to walk forever free

With God’s only begotten Son

Talk with Him about all I see

And behold the face of the Holy One.

A Tale That is Told

Psalm 90:9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.”

“We spend our days as a tale that is told.”

From our infancy until we are considered old

So what will our life’s tale have to say,

About our walk into this God-given day?

Were we good children when put to the test?

Was patience a nearly impossible quest?

Would we bring honor to our God and King?

If our life was to be our only offering?

Our days are flying by at eternal speed

As God is still meeting our earthly need

So will this be the testimony of our broken soul?

The tale that Christ Jesus has made us whole?

OH! We must tell the tales that need to be told!

The ones about Heaven and the streets of gold

Show the children the paths to be trod

How to be saved by the truths of God

We need to speak about the love that flowed so free

From Calvary’s timbered bloody tree

OH! Sinner listen and don’t walk hell’s path

The Word tells us of the Father’s eternal wrath

The Truth has been told for God cannot lie

There are two places to go when we die

We will be responsible for what we behold

For God has written down the tale our life told.

I Feel Like a Flea

A few weeks ago I discovered blogging. I had asked God for a place where I could post my poems without feeling like I was irritating anyone much like a flea does on his host. I posted a few on fb and had some comments and a several more likes depending on what the subject matter was about. I truly do appreciate the bloggers on here who have commented, and liked, and followed my blog.  I know I have posted a lot but I am like a grandma showing off pictures of her grandbabies when it comes to my babies (poems). I am proud that God has given me this talent and I do not plan on losing it by not using it. On fb my family and friends often ignored or didn’t see the post because of phones or possibly they had unsubscribed since I had been posting quite a lot of Scriptures. People are so caught up in their own lives that there isn’t much time for others. I am the flea that they have to pay attention to even when they don’t want too. So if I am deleted or ignored then they can continue doing what they do and not have to stop and scratch. I have said all of this to say that I still have more poems that have been waiting for their host so if I over did it please forgive me I am just so excited to finally have a home for them.  I do hope you will go back and read them all not for the comments or likes but just so I can show off my babies. I am still quite new at this so if you have any advice I would welcome it immensely. I pray everyone has an awesome and blessed day.
