Best Prayerful Poems

Dare we wear the frocks of an old year’s passing
into the new… threaded deeds overlapping?
Or bare we anew on fresh laden free wings
the beckoning’s to come of much newer things?

Shall we leave behind what’s said and done
or let them follow… raveling threads undone?
As the coming...

Today in prayer 
I said to myself filled with deep joy and peace 
God am I being guilty of wanting to become a saint 
The love held inside the heart humbles every sin kneeling 
forgiveness holds a certain grain of kindness inwardly hugging 
it has...

A canticle I think I'll be, 
A rimed thought, hoary and ancient, 
Stinking as the dust heaped up empyreal on the hills of 
The Judean sands;
And as dulled and dimmed as an archaic coin tarnish'd.
This is what I think I might be.
I'd as lief be...

When walls crumble down
And dreams lay strewn and scattered
Remember our place
Deep in the mountain forest
Through the sharp-thorned brush
A meadow creekside
Times like this our shelter built
Roof for our gardens
Fresh flowing water nearbye
Wildflowers in Spring
Bountiful summer veggies
Fireside in Winter
I'll meet you there my true love
If God parts...

The Clementine gifts in 2009
Were symbolic
Of something alcoholic

Could be from the 'Grapes of Laugh'
Or maybe fermented from a bitter past-
Heaven knows

But one thing is clear
The taste that once set our teeth on edge
Is gone-no longer here

Thank You, sweet Jesus
It's Your Spirit
That frees us

Helping us restore...

Though a prayerful night slowly drains,
              *
Above, one god-like bead remains.

Before the altar he kneels praying
His soul steams dollar desire
mixing with words of prayer

Sandals, Jesus-like in the feet
around neck, golden cross
cathedral built with martyrs’ bones
and he called unto the Lord;

“Holy, holy Lord of the world
listen to my prayers; and petitions
of your people I stand here...

betrayed by the pen
a corporate, seal touches
workforce breaks of day


contacts eventide
an official, seal touches
manpower morning


before the fingers
a strong, prayerful hands touches
the pen that betrayed 

in God we should trust
a corporate, seal touches
in God we all trust


before the fingers
betrayed by the pen
God’s our only true friend

In the darkest hour of the night
During the hardest time of life
When unsure if things will be all right
You should pray!

When your mind lacks peace
And your heart is too broken to beat
When you struggle to stand on your feet
You ought to pray!

When some things do...

CONFESSION
We like sheep have gone astray,
if He marked our transgressions
who would stand.Tempted,ofttimes
tormented,self-conscious,self-
seeking missing the mark;stepping
over the line,impulsive,doing what
we do want to do.Encouraged into
doubt,we deceive ourselves,listening
to the father of lies,’Til the Holy Spirit
convict us of this sin.Absolved by the
Saviour’s sacrifice I turn back again,
for I know...

SAVING GRACE
Help,help I cannot break loose,
enslaved as I am to sin.I cannot
resist,how may I be free?
I hear a voice convicting me,
prompting,calling,drawing me,
knocking at my door.Calling me
to turn back to God.
Help,help me Holy Spirit to push
open this door.I hear Jesus 
He comes through my open door
He...

If I had but one thing to say 
This I will whenever I pray 
That I’ll be led to follow your way 
Lest the evil one lead me astray 

If I had but one song to sing 
A joyful song to my Lord I would...

When walls crumble down
And dreams lay strewn and scattered
Remember our place
Deep in the mountain forest
Through the sharp-thorn brush
A meadow creek side
Times like this our shelter built
Roof for our gardens
Fresh flowing water near bye
Wildflowers in Spring
Bountiful summer veggies
Fireside in Winter
I'll meet you there my true love

My Sweet, Sweet Daughter, Karen

who is a blessing wherever she may go,
she thinks and she prays for many of MY children
and I let her know what it is that she can sow.

It might be food, or healthy products
or...
