Free your heart

Holding grudges for too long
Makes you weaker but not strong
Remembering memories painful deep
Can only cut you: make you weep

So let them go now let them go
Every hurtful thing you know
Scars and sorrows; people too
Keep them far away from you..

Take the time now ...change it all
Seek a counselor.. make a call
Free your heart now free your soul
Let inner healing be your goal

No one's perfect: you.or  I ...
We must struggle; we must try
To be that person to be that one
Who conquers troubles as they come

Don't lose yourself in your reaching out for more...

Do not ever,  lose yourself in your reaching out for more
Don't forget your calling..and what you were truly  created for
The world can promise your riches and everything that it has
But nothing can last forever: and its promises cannot ever  last

So cling to the One Who will really be there..both: now and forever
Who will lift you up whenever you're falling and desert you never ever
He is your Creator, your Redeemer, your Father and your dearest Friend..
God Almighty, your Deliverer, His promises will never end..

I saw you, the other day: you were buying up all of those chances.
Hopeful wishes for more money.. enticing you with their glowing glances
You fell for it..all of their promises ..that were laid out for you that day
Now you are stuck inside that  rat race.. you once ran away from along the way

So cling to the One Who will really be there..both: now and forever
Who will lift you up whenever you're falling and desert you never ever
He is your Creator, your Redeemer, your Father and your dearest Friend..
God Almighty, your Deliverer, His promises will never end..

The clamoring of this world can become so very loud
It's hard to resist them: all of those cries  from the "popular crowd"
choosing to pull away  from it and not follow anything but your own tune
Is not something that would be popular or be encouraged any time soon

So cling to the One Who will really be there..both: now and forever
Who will lift you up whenever you're falling and desert you never ever
He is your Creator, your Redeemer, your Father and your dearest Friend..
God Almighty, your Deliverer, His promises will never end..

How much fun,  can it be, under the microscope of another person's glare:
Doing everything you can.. to have a part in their acquired share
Sure thing, it is, you can have everything... that you can ever want
But, you will never be truly happy:  trying to keep up  with this dictated front

So cling to the One Who will really be there..both: now and forever
Who will lift you up whenever you're falling and desert you never ever
He is your Creator, your Redeemer, your Father and your dearest Friend..
God Almighty, your Deliverer, His promises will never end..

Autumn day

Birds start chirping right away
At the start of this new day
Seeking, pecking, looking around
Food for family must be found

Songs serenely fill the air
Happy tunes are everywhere
Cardinals, sparrows blue jays too
Sounds like Heaven this is true

Squirrels, chipmunks soon appear
Darting, dashing, they're so near
Playing, tumbling, chittering too
Eyeing,spying, passing through

Leaves are crinkling making sound
As the creatures romp around
See them as they colorfully lay
They invite us all to play

Autumns here now: the air is crisp
Watch the branches turn and twist
Breezes bring a wintry chill..
Soon it'll be here.. yes it will.

Be thankful...

Be thankful, be grateful..and embrace every day
As gift and as providence that comes across your way
For you are truly special..you're graced from Above
Turn now and share it:  this gift of God's love

The morning .. the evening.. the day in between
Contains many blessings  you know what I mean
We need to ...and we must try to..to see with our eyes
All of God's goodness it isn't a surprise...

Take time now ..and take moments .. just a minute or two
To see what's around you... the wondefulness so  true
If you will take time now and make effort to see
You'll receive them, God's blessings: here for you and me

He sees everything..

God is in control and He sees everything
He may seem, so silent; but His Will will sing
Your struggles; your efforts, your ever day
Are always before Him ...  He'll make a way

The earth is so silent and it seems so still
But God is awake watching ...His love is real
No thing.. unnoticed; no unkindness.. unseen
Escapes His viewing ... He sees everything

So be patient and waiting..and let time reveal
What others are hiding and what others steal
Your Protector is watching and is ready to act
Your God is all seeing and that is a fact

Wintry winds

Grey skies are lingering  and we have a chillier air
Summer's finally leaving though we're hardly aware
Temperatures are dropping but slow to take their leave
Finally the season's changing and we can freely breathe

There is something solemn in the approach of this new day
Skies are hardly speaking and the wind is on its way
Hardly any movement while the stillness of this time
Creates an awesome backdrop for an truly Autumn rhyme..

Like a funeral procession, the creatures are all mum
They go about their business without frolicking or any fun
Gathering up their morsels they make a huge supply
Of wintry stash they can go to when all is cold as ice
