Best Grace Of God Poems

On the train that I rode today, 
into town I was on my way. 
You never know what you will see, 
out the window were clouds of gray. 




An old man came on with one knee, 
he hobbled over ~ sat by me. 
By God's...

"There 
but 
for 
the 
grace 
of 
God 
go 
I" 
I 
heard 
them 
say,then 
they 
pass 
an 
addict 
begging 
on 
the 
street 
and 
turn 
away,
They 
call 
themselves 
Gods 
children 
and 
through 
Gods 
land 
they 
roam,but 
the 
homeless 
dont 
get 
charity,why?
cause 
charity 
begins  
at 
home,
So

Back when I was a rebellious, care free young lad
there was this regular practice that I had.
I can remember when, every now and again
I would visit my local court house and watch the sentencing.
Defendants were declared convicts officially
and marched off to serve their time at...

VIETNAM and the GRACE OF GOD..
“ another fallen marine” 
 
The daughter of a lucky Vietnam marine, 
 his only child is my husband you see
lucky because he made it out alive,
aware of the alternative..
as he watched buddies die.

Some days for hours I’d listen to...

An old man staggering and begging
Outside the doors of Walmart…
There but for the grace of God go I

Perhaps most look askance
Not even giving a second glance…
There but for the vagaries of Fate go I

Does the miscreant chuckle to himself
At the naïve charity of strangers
Or does...

"There but for the grace of God go I",I heard them say,then they passed an addict begging on the streets and walked away,
They call themselves God's children and through Gods lands they roam,but the homeless don't get charity,cause charity begins at home,

…There, but for the grace of God go I…
Is a thought I oft used to think
As I cast a hasty, judgmental eye
Roundabout the coffee shop
And o’er the brim of my morning drink

…I used to judge those so-called ‘sorry souls
And ascribe to them sad histories
In blissful...

A cardboard mansion, renovated expansion
No payments left to be made
Three car garage, a hungry mirage
An elegant dumpster buffet
Hand tailored suit sewn with laces from boots
Which he donated to a friend
His non existent gold, lost through the holes
A tragedy one can not defend
Disheveled and dirty and...

I see Him in the plants and trees
With the flowers caressed by bees
I see Him in the ocean’s breeze
He is breathing life into all of these

I see Him in the birds who sing
In the faith He will always bring
I see Him in the joy of...

A glimpse of her heart
Broke through the shadows
Stalking my mind,
Erasing hope and grace,
Dimming the wonder
That comes to life in those
Who know that love
Silences every doubt, all fear
Disappears in its presence

Love’s embrace
Purifies the light, the soul
Brightens thoughts
Changes dread to hope,
Fear to courage,
Doubt to faith, belief
That calms...

God breathed
	Hope across my soul
Music into my thoughts
	Joy all over my heart

God breathed
	Laughter into my mind
Pleasure on my ideas
	Kindness across my feelings

God breathed
	Inspiration over my plans
Harmony into my designs
	Sighs of love on my spirit

God breathed
	Wonders across my beliefs
Miracles to whisper praise
	Admiration into my faith

God breathed
	Satisfaction...

trees tremble, quietly
	in the laughter of sweet winds
		leaves rustling, waltzing, twisting
			through the fresh noon gentleness
abiding in my spirit, the stirrings 
of a hesitant dream…

predictions of glowing silence in the moonlight
whimsical stars, breaking through the heat
of a star sprinkled night, where my heart remembers
silvery peppered skies,...

(when Esther went to ask the King without him inviting her) – Esther 5:2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight: and the king held out to Esther the golden...

Finally my blood began to coagulate
a graceful gel, gently thickened,
so – whatever I might feel, the settling of the wound,
has begun…

in sensitive silences, the shadows echo the fear,
felt by a heart who knows the starkness, the darkness,
will never drive out the hurt, despite the silhouettes,...
