Best Sends Poems
You were sly with your wanton stare
How you seduced me with only a look
Neither classic nor found in any book
Unique to you it was somewhat unfair
While I was naked just standing there
The strokes so quick we barely...met
I do not know how the pallet had felt
But I feared my whiskers would melt
As I kissed the canvas, us two a duet
A miracle occurred as the paints...set
I the paint brush marveled at your smile

Painted By Leonardo da Vinci
Rain follows the fading winter's breath
In the tangled field,
where bristly ryegrass sways
Emerging green, the blades do rise
glimmer in the verdant hue of shamrock
like the lively notes of the cuckoo's call
Whispers dance upon the undulating meadows
The fragrance of the soil—
its charm, a whisper of rain-kissed ground
Silver whispers of yearning
Softly sung, a memory lingers still.
When God sends us a miracle
Do you bow your head and pray
For He reached down and touched that need
And provided you a way
He hears and knows your deepest thought
And listens when you call
Oh when God sends a miracle
You know he's given all!
He sends His miracles every day
In the seasons of this earth
The dead and dying winter sleeps
But in spring He gives new birth!
The birds that sing the flowers that bloom
All miracles come from Him
Gifts He gives us every day
To see new life begin
Each breath we breathe each beating heart
is a miracle from our King
For without Him there is no hope
Every day new gifts He brings
We watch a dear one pass from Life
And beg their soul to spare
For we need them close here by our side
Letting go we can not bear
But our precious loving God above
Knows the miracle that they need
Is a life and body made brand new
And their spirit He sets free
He gave the greatest Miracle of all
So many years ago
When He sent His son to Calvary
His blood, that cross did flow
Oh when God sends us a Miracle
There's no question it’s from Him
For Jesus paid the price for all
To free this world from sin
Let us thank Him for the Miracles now
that comes from heaven above
Oh turn you heart to Him today
Accept His endless Love
For God will give you the greatest gift
If you'll only run to Him
He'll touch your life and make it new
Oh let the miracle begin!
I thank you Lord for Miracles
You send to us each day
Thank you Lord for your great Love
and Blessings along the way
I praise you Lord for what you gave
to set me free from sin
The Miracle of Love's greatest gift
my heart holds deep within!
He sends His hope to make me whole
Freeing my heart from doubt,
Reassuring my dreams and my prayers
Answering my spirit with faith,
Encouraging my laughter, bringing grace
He sends His promises to silence tears
Stirring my compassion, my kindness
With feelings of light shining brightly
Giving me the chance to believe
The darkness has passed – there is a glow
Gentling my angst, guiding me through
So that I always know that He is here
Abiding in my heart, even when I might fear
The pain, the sadness, the grief
Everything that He comforts with His gifts…
Joy and peace, sweet relief
From every thought that disturbs my peace
He sends His love to fill my soul
With inspiration that I might not have known
Missing the intimacy of His gift
The gift of compassion – the gift of caring
Felt by the ones who know Him as Savior
The redeemed, the saints of Christ…
The ones who believe,
Deep down in their soul…
His love is everything – He is the hope
That brings hearts out of anguish – so they know
He is alive and He is the light – He is inside
Where they can always go … to speak to the One
Who made a way for the light to shine…
Revealing the love that He invites and inspires
He sends down…
Love from above – where He is the grace that delights
In listening to the prayers of His children, the followers
Who know Him as Master, Healer, Comforter …
The answer to every prayer, the reason there is faith
To open the heart to belief that will stir the soul
Saving the broken so they will know what it means
To be repaired, mended and reconciled to the One
Who created each one to know Him
As the Light of the world, the love that is forever
The miracle, the peace, the Creator
Who makes a way through every doubt and fear
Comforts and heals, wiping away each tear
So that those who believe – will receive
The wonder of a Savior who is so amazing
A Savior – who we will always be praising!
God Sends Promises and Love
God sends rain, snow , all kinds of weather
sweet love that brings us all together
A miracle or two when we so badly need it
gardens of fruits if we but weed it!
God gifts our lives with our sweet kids
pulls us up when our lives hit the skids
Brushes us off with gentle mercies divine
blesses us with good food and his wine!
God sent love by way of his Savior Son
miracles of love not to ever be outdone
Rainbows showing promises very sublime
a reward of love and eternity in time!
God stands the Rock that meets our needs
Forgives us of even the most wicked deeds!

"God sends pets without wings so no one will suspect they are angels ..." Unkown
Angels come in all sizes
Never knowing when they will appear
Great fur coats to wear
Every day and night of the year
Love will spread their wings
Slurps and hugs forever more
Open your eyes and see what God’s done!
Look up often, at the moon, stars and sun.
In the clouds there are pictures, if we look we will find.
God’s beautiful artwork, it just blows my mind!
And when we look up, to the wonder of lightening,
the power and thunder, doesn’t have to be frightening.
Can you see all around us, the flowers and green?
Soon, it will leave us, like seasons & dreams.
They come and they go, and soon come again.
This circle of life, we’ll see ‘till the end.
Our eyes are a gift, so be grateful today.
See and take in and watch as you pray.
Never doubt that there’s God, high up above.
For with all of life’s beauty,
He sends you His Love!

Thank You Lord for all of the gifts you have given me.
I promise to always share them with others!
It's so inspiring to think
That even during negative times,
A positive side can be found!
When you feel your heart sink.
There's that mountain to climb,
And you imagine you'll never leave the ground!
Something within you
Stirs your soul and you find your battle
Can be fought and won.
You haven't a clue
How! You shake fear like a rattle.
Your growth in confidence has begun.
Yes you super survivor
You can do this! Even if through tears and pain.
And when everything seems in a muddle.
Keep this motto alive,
" When life sends you rain,
Splash in the puddles! "

~He Sends Us His Blessings~
(Monchielle)
He sends us His blessings
God gives His love each day
To me that's clear to see
He grant us forgiveness
Without Him none would be
He sends us His blessings
Can give us eternal life
His love lasts forever
He can see thru your heart
He'll leave your side never
He sends us His blessings
Loves us no matter what
He can see you through all
With me now and always
With Him we can stand tall
He sends us His blessings
Without Him I'd not be
With Him thru all I go
God gives his love each day
In Him each day I grow.

The "Monchielle" is a poetry style created by Jim T. Henriksen.
Sam sends smileys,
Sheila seeks sobriety;
Siberian skies shed sadness!
Seven Swallowtails swirl,
sunset sets scenic shades:
scintillating, stunning,
stimulating, sparkling!
Sordid sentiment stays sentient,
safeguarding searing sailing ships;
sailors sit still sipping scotch,
soaring seagulls start shrilling:
somber, sorrowful symphony!
Sordid sea swerves ship,
storm stirs subdued senses;
Simon strums strings...
sober Samuel sings!
Careless Friends
David J Walker
It was an every day
Forever
A never way
transcends
A newer day
that never ends
a day at last begins
a day bygone
the day beyond
pretends to be
another dawn
forever never sins
and never sends
for careless friends
A true friend will not hurt your heart
Instead he will medicate all wounds
When peace and bliss are very short
His visit to your home never ends
He will be always there to comfort
One is blessed to have noble friends
Rare are such kind friends who care
Fair practices they follow like the Air
To bear your troubles they ever dare
They never leave you in a great hurry
They stay with you during distress
All your sorrows give them deep worry
To forget the past, to you, they stress
They are with you even during penury
They try to bring you real progress!
My Dear King,
Has time been good to you?
Do the snows of the winter-man make you think 'What could have been',
When you slew my brother did you think of us...
Your God-- your Father-- is not mine,
But did you not break His laws?
So why should you be sung on high when you should burn down low
