A FUTURE & A HOPE(Jeremiah 29:11) Another year is almost gone,And with it go my fears.I’m closing out two thousand, twenty,By wiping away my tears.I will not let past loss and hurtInfringe on future years.God’s promised a future bright with hope:At His Word my heart cheers.

Might As Well Throw Out the Calendar
Well, Sundays now just never seem like Sundays‘Cause church online just isn’t quite the same.And Mondays don’t seem right ’cause I’m still homeInstead of working; what a lousy shame. When Tuesday rolls around, I think it’s ThursdayAnd start to wonder where the week has gone.By Saturday, I feel it must be Sunday;Go online to watchContinue reading “Might As Well Throw Out the Calendar”

Let’s concentrate on lovingThe broken and the lostAnd demonstrate with actionsGod’s love at any cost. Let’sContinue reading “Harvest Time”

CHOCOLATE’S BEST FRIEND I have a stash of chocolate standing by.I like to keep some extra when I can.For when I’m feeling jittery or blue,Chocolate is the most effective plan. But chocolate works much better with a friend.A cup of coffee sets it off just right.Choc’late and coffee are a perfect blend,Indulging both at onceContinue reading “Coffee Is A Poem – Day 6”

Playful Breeze
Persistent breeze, Pressing on trees, Playing with branches, Tickling leaves. Not a wind: Not hard or mean, Nothing threatening. Quite crisp and clean. Lying at pause, Like a pup at rest, Or a dormant wave Before driven to crest, This playful breeze Turns off and on — Dances with branches And then is gone. ButContinue reading “Playful Breeze”
Lemonade Stand
I posted this painting a couple weeks ago, but later I discovered that my muse just insisted on creating a little poem to go along with it. So here’s the poem and, of course, it’s only right that I show you the picture again, since it was the inspiration. LEMONADE STAND When life gives youContinue reading “Lemonade Stand”
Back In The Saddle???
Well, my three-week hiatus from writing for any websites — and focusing on my art instead — has done me some good. I’ll try to get back in the saddle now and focus on some things that have to be written out in words. But even if I’m back in the saddle, I think I’llContinue reading “Back In The Saddle???”
Non-Essential Lives
Some call it isolation. Some call it sheltering. A “safe-at-home” condition That’s lasted all of spring. Small businesses are locked down Churches have empty pews. But laws allow the sale of drugs And “grass,” and, of course, booze. What Liberals term “essential” Is given liberty. Abortion clinics have free reign: Murder in first degree. TheContinue reading “Non-Essential Lives”
