Life's Little Wonders

How I wish that my eyes were microscopic
so that I can see.
What's really going on inside my wonderfully made body.
Those trillions  of billions of countless cells
all swimmimg up in down.
I wonder which ones may be damaged, inactive
or possibly drowned.
Are both my kidneys in order?
Will I have a heart attack?
Do my brain need recharging?
Will there be spasm in my back?
Will old authur get his grip on me?
Or will my ulcers, cause me misery?
As I journey through life searching
for answers too, incomplete.
I have to stop and admonish my maker
the creator of reality.
That life is truely a  wonder a miracle at best,
Only GOD  can rightfully explain it and
bring us complete happiness.

Growing Older

I use to be pretty, now I'm porky  
I use to be thin, now I' m thick 
I use to be anxious to fall in love
sometime love can make you sick.
I use to have teeth, now I"m toothless
I use to be young, now I"m old.
I use to dream of being rich and famous
I'am still searching for that pot of gold.
I use to think I could get over the things
I"m used to but,
the only thing that has really changed
is my age and time.

What's Happening To Our Children?

What's  happening to our children  Lord ?
What makes  them go astray?
You try to teach them right from wrong
Yet, they chose to go the oppposite way.
I know that Satan is the ruler of the world.
For he has his tricks and traps.
He uses drug, bad assoication and 
some of this music we now call rap.
It tells our children parents don't understand.
They never felt this way.
They've never been a baby, child or teenager
So why should we listen to what they say?
Our peers know where we're coming from.
They know the way to go.
For they were born when we were born.
So I know they got to know.
I'll come home when I feel like it.
Go to school just when I please.
Don't ask me to do no chores around here.
I don't care if you beg or plea.
We're the children of the new generation
And this system will back us up.
That's what's happening to our children, parents.
Keep praying but, don't give up.

Don'T Give Your Heart To the Devil

This is no time for the devil, make no room for him in your heart.
All he needs is a 1/8 of an inch of space in your mind.
To tear your whole life apart.
He knows his time is short now, like a lion he's out on a roar.
It's your life and precious relationship with God
that that old devil really wants to destroy.
He'll use everything he can against you to your
familes, your job and foes.
And yes, sometimes our own iimperfections 
can make that devil aglow.
So don't give your heart to the devil
rely on God by persevering in prayer.
And just when you think you can't take it no  more
God's  power will substain you through his loving care.

A Writer's Delight

A writer's delight 
is a paper and pen.
A thought that's provoking
a feeling within,
A story you can relate to
emotions so real.
That you know just how
that writer must feel.

Believe It Or Not

Believe it or not, there will be a time.
When peace will be amongst all mankind.
Pain, death and violence will be no more.
Life itself will be worth living for.
As for the youth generation gap.
They will honor thier parents.
There won't be no peer traps.
And as for the parents arguments about bills.
Money shall be useless when we get over that hill.
Yes, right here on earth  where hatred  now  lands.
Love will conquer all and take it's stand.
Just as sure as white is the color of the doves.
All shall worship the true God in heaven above.
Just think all the animals will be free of their cages.
Hard to believe that since it has been unseen in ages.
You may have heard these promises before
yet , you have not found.
How peace can come upon this earth once more .
With love, unity and happiness abound.
I believe that there will be a time for by carefully
searching the scriptures you too, can find.
It's found in the bible book of Revelation
Jeovah God is our only means of salvation.
You think I am  just dreaming, that it's just all in my mind.
Well. believe it or not there will be a time.
