SIMPLE THINGS

Life

Love

Beauty

Abundant joy

Found in simple things

Like song birds that sing

Laughter of our children

Sincerity of friends

Music

Art

Incredible sunsets

May I never forget

My blessings

Deep

Vast

Overwhelming

At times

I’m overcome

With sheer gratitude

Solitary peace

Chains of sin

Released

By HIM

Who makes me whole

The light

Flowing through my soul

And I smile.....

THE REASON FOR MY RHYME

 

 

 

The older i grow

The more i realize

There are no second chances

No selfish romances

No room

For compromise

Sacred truth

Lives in smiling eyes

Sincere

Without fear

LOVE

Conquers all

No matter

How big or small

This day

I dance

To an ancient tune

Incredible rhythm

As i prance

Throughout the room

At times

I’m blown away

Someday

You will understand

It’s all

Been carefully planned

HE lives indeed

My friends

Far beyond the moon

Our human perception

Wealth

Silver spoons

And i smile

For it’s there

HE waits

Patiently

For us

You and me

We

HIS grateful children

One and all

I hear within my heart

A shout

Deafening

His ever flowing call

Magnificent things

Soon to come my friends

Do not be afraid

For it is written

Before the start of time

The reason for my rhyme

Destiny

Rapidly approaching

Never let your soul

Be left behind

In this age of prophecy........

A SONG THAT NEVER ENDS

 

Ripping rhymes of reason

A mystical affair

Songs for every season

Embrace them if you dare

Such beauty in a rainbow

Prismatic Godly gift

Celestial light show

How can one resist

Elusive inner peace

Not so hard to find

Emotional release

The life changing kind

Musical rhythm

Righteous moves within

In harmony

It begins

A song that never ends

Sealed in time

Amen

Forever

Dancing in this rhyme

Flowing words

Joyful thoughts

A note where love has been

Release from life's prison

With gratitude

Peace

Kindness

Sacred vision

Musical precision

In this life of mine

Only God knows

The place

And the time

His saving grace

Sublime

Sometimes

My feet are moving slow

As if I’m going no where

With no where to go

It’s then I realize

Much to my surprise

It’s dancing in the eyes

Of those I cherish dearly

The truth

Lives so clearly

This puzzle we call life

Shall never truly be complete

A journey through forever

A spiritual endeavor

To be shared with those I love

And I smile........

LAUGHTER

As infants

We are polished

Spoon fed

Carefully bred

Processed

And prepared

For such great success

We carry on

Under great duress

At times

A state of mental undress

We play our cards

So close to the vest

We trudge along

In vain

Chasing unseen milestones

Traditional mono tones

Rattling bones

I have come to realize

That truth

Is not a lie

It lives peacefully

In those

With smiling eyes

The quiet kind

Confident

Magnetic

Imaginations mind

It’s there

We will find

Deepest harmony

Serendipity

Prosperity

Laughter

Our Children’s

Unbridled glee

That’s good enough for me.......

THE SPARKLE IN THEIR EYES

 

 

Me

I dig my coffee

Stout

In measured dose

I love

To roam about

Bare feet

Sincerity

Humility

Taking on

All adversity

With my shirt tail out

Me

I simply adore

Art

And so much more

Music

Poetry

No need

For keeping score

Despite spiritual war

Eternal open door

Me

My children are my world

The sparkle in their eyes

Tis wisdom

To the wise

The essence

Sweet

Such harmony

As destiny arrives

My words dear friends

All I have to give

Stupid people

I forgive

As He

So graciously

Has forgiven me

Take them as you need them

Feel them

As they live

My soul

Belongs to Jesus Christ

My Savior

Holy King

For it’s the simple things

That truly leave their mark

Gives flight

To this song

I boldly sing

And I smile.........
