As night falls on Autumn days
Winter kisses blow across the land
Frost sparkles in the moonlight
Of the Harvest Moon
Warmth tries to stay but loses out
The chilly air has won
Holidays beckon us onward
To deep festivities of turkey and tinsel
Lights dangle from roofs of many houses
Just to shine with yuletide wonder
Be ready! as winter kisses blow across the land.
(In honor of our service men and women)
Where is he now, Dear Lord?
My soldier child of twenty-one
It’s been weeks without a word
And now this awful war has begun
Last letter I got was full of hope
Said he thought he’d soon be back
Oh! Please Dear Lord. Help me to cope!
I hear his unit is under attack.
My fear is growing stronger deep inside
For my son, my soldier child
But in his job he takes much pride
He’ll do his best in a land run wild
So I’ll lift my prayers to the Lord above
And ask Him please just to keep
Safe in His arms this child I love
Give him this night a peaceful sleep.
A long time ago on top of a hill
Stood and old cross
Quiet and still
Having done it’s part
In redemption’s story
The Son had returned
To His Father in Glory…..
There will come a time
When we will see our Savior
There will come a time
When He will judge us
True and faithful
Will we be ready when time calls our name?
Will we be ready to see our King?
Time will no longer be our friend
It will judge us of our worth
Will we be counted with the sheep?
Will we be ready as a bride
Adorned for her wedding day?
The Son is coming back for Hos own
God has spoken so we know it’s true
Now it’s just a matter of time.
My mind says to let you go
But my heart says absolutely no
I walk around in turmoil and grief
Lost in sadness and such disbelief
I only want what is best for you
But I don’t know what else to do
If only I could make some plans
Put my life in God’s perfect hands
But I’m so afraid you would be lost
And I am not willing to pay the cost
So I wander down this lonesome trail
To give up means that I might fail
To have the life I want with you
I still care so much that is true
For time is not always as it seems
In my world of shattered dreams
When time pulls me one way
And life pulls me another
I reach for the bits and pieces
Flying by to make me whole again
Yet so many unknowns steal them
No framework or netting to catch on to
Dreams and wannabes duck and dodge each other
Like magnets pushing each other away
From completing the future plans
Yet still hoping to no avail
I wander in this fog of regret
And what was supposed to be
Never settling for less but not getting the more either
My heart is like a patchwork of broken momemts
Tied together with frayed ribbons
Of old bittersweet memories
Always lost in the waves of not now
Watching the swirling of forever
Mixing every thought with the tears
Of someone else’s life
The bits may never find all the pieces
That would form the ending that is needed
To fulfill the desires of this old lady’s heart.
Today I have made a choice at last
Choosing to become complete
I will take the moments in my past
That may be sad or oh so sweet
And knit them to my heart today
With the golden strands of life
And starlight from the Milky Way
Keeping joy to guard against the strife
I faced my hardships and trials
Walking the darkness of the scary night
Following the wrong paths of denials
Yet always coming back into the light
Many times it was so tiring just to cope
But knowing in the end I would be okay
My dream knew there was always hope
And, Father God, to show me the way.
Sometimes broken in a thousand pieces
Sometimes strong and capable
Sometimes sad and lost
Sometimes happy and grateful
Sometimes defeated in life
Sometimes flying with the eagles
Sometimes impatient and angry
Sometimes quiet and contemt
Sometimes anxious and afraid
Sometimes heroic and brave
Sometimes confused and doubtful
Sometimes trusting and obediant
Sometimes running and hiding
Sometimes braving the storm alone
Sometimes hateful and unforgiving
Sometimes peaceful and nice
Sometimes I am all of the above
At any given moment in time
Thank God for His grace that covers me
And His mercy that allows me
To be me: not sometimes
But at all times because He loves: ME!
Faithfulness beguiles me but is lost in failure
Trust pursues me but I out run it
Responsibility comes when accountability
Is achieved
But not yet
Why?
Father, I need You!
I need Your Hand
Your Word to guide me
Once again
I’m fractured
Holy Ghost fill me
So I may be complete in You
This is my prayer.
Simple things mean a lot to me
Because they are all I have
A simple word or a sweet smile
A cup of coffee with french vanilla creamer
Fried potatoes with onions
A hug from on of my kids
A grandbaby’s kiss
Roses ready to bloom
A phone call from a friend
A like on a post
A comfy quilt and blankie
Which was a precious gift
From my son at Christmas
A long time ago
I have so many blessings
And have no right to complain
But I’m disappointed
And a bit upset
Expectations did not deliver
So I simply removed the post
For I saw the pritority
And I will say in my simple way
Good Night!
A mistakes stays a mistake if I don’t learn from it. If it teaches me that I am responsible for the choices I make when tested then it becomes a lesson in life. And that it is up to me to study for the exam. I am responsible for me but the consequences of my choices will affect everyone with the ripples caused by any stones I may throw. God, please help me to always be kind and forgiving.
