To make changes in life for the better
No matter what condition we are faced with
Quite often urged by friends with good intentions
“Trust God.” “Just pray and trust God.”
‘Though imperative to trust in your Creator
He has already given you all you need
In the quiet moments free from distractions
Stop and ask yourself three questions
Three questions to the path you seek
Am I aware of what is holding me down?
Do I want improvement in my life?
What things can I change to accomplish it?
Be true to yourself in all things
Follow through with prayers and God’s word
Stand back and see His glory
As your life becomes a new story
For those concerned of my muse
My red neck proverbs, please don’t refuse,
If those considered to be, of lesser degree,
Could gain confidence in themselves, to see,
Refusing to be put down by some carnal mind,
Thank you! My love in my heart is fine,
Rather! It’s the mind that’s out of line,
For all of life will be set straight,
Before entry into the gate,
Given time, by the settling of the mind,
Although we may think we know,
Given to the mind so,
In our life, if there’s strife,
Will certainly show,
Proof there is in the pudding,
Being a gooden,
If mind wooden, blow so, and show,
Strife, in life so,
If a little toad frog had wings,
Wooden be given to his many flings,
Bumping little buttocks along on the ground,
Butt twood,- be heaven bound!!
Selah!

Today is a gift, given in love, the gift of life that comes from above. a breath of fresh air or a
walk in the park, hot sun on your skin or the moon after dark. to be able to see or to hear a
fresh breeze, is still not enough for some people to please. look at the poor with no shoes on
their feet, or those that are hungry with nothing to eat. bread and water alone would suit
them just fine, they do not need a ribeye to fine dine. how about those paralyzed in a chair,
forever dependant on others for care. or those that are homeless and labled a bumb, yet still
find some change to give someone with none. then the rich that are greedy will do anything,
to get what they want without ever giving. still sooner or later the greed takes its toll, and
lucky are those who do not sell their soul. then some, working two jobs, complain about what
they dont have, but have plenty of food, a warm bed and a bath. we all need to learn how to
give what we can, our money, our time or a warm helping hand. a simple smile at someone
could brighten their day, just like it will ours when a smile comes our way. we all have our
ups, our downs and our fears, our worries, our struggles and occasional tears. life is not
easy, we learn as we go, but the mistakes that we make is what helps us to grow. one day
at a time is what its about, and life is too short to not make each second count. so with this
in mind, lets all kneel down and pray, and give thanks to God for only this day. yesterdays
gone and tomorrow is near, so we must do all we can while today is still here. staying true to
ourselves and to others, staying pleasant, today is a gift thats why they call it the present.
When in pain,
It seems our life is only pain
And it is hard to see a place
With no pain.
Don't feed a pain
By looking at all the other pains
That in your life you can locate
Find the sane.
Find the cane to stand up again
Let your eyes rest upon flowery terrain
A happy place.
If it rains
Think of it as God's cleaning day
Smell the fresh smell of it and regain
A fragrant domain.

A blemished heart
So weak I cannot walk
A life made of so many promises
I ask you who can you really trust?
After so much heart ache
The pain inside I can’t fake
Now I feel so hollow inside and there is a empty space
My heart feels that this friendship will never be replaced
The sound of your voice depletes my sins
Praying that hearing it will never end
See I need you now but your not even there
Baby my heart is full of pain and you don’t even care
I truly miss all the fun we have had together
You know that I always wished we should of stayed friends forever
And hear my tongue that says no lie
Together we will our say my prayers as lullabies
A heart that's taken and loved is a heart that is never broken
When I love from the heart my words are carefully spoken
As my heart is pulsating with blood and constantly full of love
To keep the world with peace and joy is what the heart consist of
Oh I’m very grateful and always hopeful
Thank you Jesus my life is so blessed and plentiful
Remember you came into my life and lived
That’s why from my heart with love I’m willing to give
PRECIOUS DIALOGUE IN THE WOODS
I can hear you.
But are you listening?
I look in your eyes and they're no longer glistening.
I want you on my team.
But so does he.
Instead of you and I why can't this be we?
Do you hear me?;
Do you really concentrate on the things that I say and each breath that I take?
I'm reconsidering the hand I want to hold.
The heart that's in your head doesn't have to be so cold.
Don't play in the woods anymore.
I want to be precious to someone again.
But I can't be who I was before.
So can you love me the way I am?
Do you hear me?
Do you concentrate on the things that I fear and the people I hate?
I'm not believing the moments of projection.
Just tell me where to find myself; just show me the direction.
Do you hear me?
Do you pay attention?
This wall cannot cover your great apprehension.
I know you feel alone and unbelievably forsaken.
And though you are uncertain, I am a God who can't be shaken.
Don't play in the woods anymore.
I want to be precious to someone again.
But I can't be who I was before.
So can you love me the way I am...
...With my many faults and infinite breakdowns,
I know i'm unworthy but I need you now.
Redemption's bittersweet. And they will laugh at me,
I've learned in this life you must turn the other cheek.
I'm losing everything I've ever had...
But with me you're getting your life back.
It's time for you to trust and have that lust for life you need.
It's time for you to dance again and know you can be free.
There's nothing else to say.
Im only ready to be sure.
I found myself today ready to open the door...
I’ve been searching for answers that evaded me for so long
Trying to figure out where did I go wrong
But they are hidden under a mask of innocence
For my sins I constantly ask for repentance
All my dreams of yesterday are just a touch away.
To make them come true I strive and pray.
As I wander in the darkness of my mind searching for a spark
I know that without light in my life I cannot see in the dark
When my words don’t come out things inside make my pen write
Try as I might my wings are spread out ready to take off in a rapid flight
As I surrendered to life I plead for forgiveness
I also dream for hope and joy in my life but always wanting happiness
So I give life another chance to make my wish come true;
Knowing that my faith and trust Jesus is with you.
What I was yesterday is what I am today
That straight path ahead I keep walking that way
I do not look back like water evaporating on a beach that is old sand
I take life as it comes no expectations and no demands
Taking new challenges and walking different routes to reach my ultimate destination
Looking through the light that leads me to the right direction
But when I’m unable to find answers, to my remorseless questions
I just thank God and count my blessings
Deep in man’s heart there are pages
Reserved for only one quill,
Bound by the desire of the ages
For the Author of Life to fill.
The first lines in this fleshy novel
Reflect bitter sadness and despair,
For a lost soul’s hopeless grovel
Has found life is empty and bare.
Part two writes of a witness
Someone, somewhere who knew
That only the King of Righteousness
Could give meaning and purpose to you.
Now another chapter we see begins
For you weighed the truth of Gods Word,
Repented of worldliness and sin
As rejoicing in heaven was heard!
Deep in man’s heart there are pages
Reserved for only one quill,
Bound by the desire of the ages
For the Author of Life to fill.
The great Author knows your story,
It has been stored right next to His heart,
As you yield each page to His glory
A Life chapter anew shall start.
When I leave footprints in the sand
In my life I’m leaving my mark and taking a stand
I need to be by myself to take this spiritual journey
Without any interruptions I develop more diligently
It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity
Without this journey, there is no point to the destination
To move ahead I must have no hesitation
Your experiences are not who you are
I definitely aim high for the stars
This journey that I'm on I don’t attend to go far
But I do plan to get there having no fear
It is a faith driven and a much needed trip
This alone time will help me in life to get that grip
Cradle to the grave is the purpose of our creation
Everyone passes through the final stage to their final destination
It is not a dream but this journey is so real
A lot of things in my life I need to heal
This journey has taught me to love not to hate
It is the key to my future and my fate
As my destiny and my story is told
I am still alone and wondering along the road
Journeys, like artists, are born and not made. A thousand differing circumstances contribute
to them, few of them willed or determined by the will—whatever we may think.
Lawrence Durrell
I'm not getting any younger
My aim now is to live longer
To do as much as possible of good deeds
& to stay far away from all what God forbids
I'm not getting any younger
Nor am I getting older
I still can fall in love, as love is innocent
And age is just a number
I'm not getting any younger
To my mom I'll always be a baby
So I still can laugh out loud
Until now while watching Tom and Jerry
I'm not getting any younger
I know my life can end anytime but my life is not yet over
So I have all the right to have every kind of fun
To smile all the time and have a good life like everyone
I'm not getting any younger
So I still can change for better
I'm a bad person that's what people think but it doesn't matter
Just wait and watch all who were blind will see soon or later
I'm not getting any younger
And yes I haven't stop dreaming as I'm still a dreamer
As still some of my dreams are unfulfilled
But I believe in God, as surely one day God will grant my prayer.

rebuilding is a part of life, it's about the ups and the downs
the good, the bad, the happy, the sad all that goes around
as life is about our experiences all that we've gone through
it's about picking up the pieces and somehow make them anew
rebuilding is sometimes costly it will always have a price
to rebuild those torn down walls that make up your life
so what has deteriorated? what do you need to re-erect?
what are those issues in your life that have had the most devastating affect?
to rebuild those torn down walls that you thought would have kept you whole
to rebuild those torn down walls that have caused you to lose control
in order to make it happen you need to re-position yourself in life
in order to make it happen you need to stand before the Lord Christ
now in the presence of the Holy Lord Our God the King of Kings
now in the presence of Our Creator who controls everything
now is the time to make it happen by overcoming opposition
now is the time to make it happen by taking up a godly position
in order to make it happen you need to possess a true faith
and no matter what the enemy attempts to do you need to concentrate
now focused on your mission with a purpose steadfast and sure
trusting that with God by your side there's nothing you can't endure
in order to rebuild those walls in your life that have been torn down
you need to stand on the word of God which is your solid ground
now is the time to overcome your fears and those things that the devil will use
to make you doubt, cause you to bow out one of his greatest tools
for the devil will huff and he will puff but he doesn't have a clue
that as a disciple of Christ he has no power over you
now is the time to wield your weapon "The Sword of the Spirit"
the most powerful ammunition with the words of God in it
rebuilding your torn down walls on the foundation that is Jesus Christ
rebuilding your torn down walls by overcoming the distractions in life
not looking left, not looking right but looking directly to the Lord
and no matter the price nor the sacrifice with Christ rebuild those walls

In the New Year with love and good cheer,
endear the great future plan.
To the knowledge of self, to embrace God’s great wealth,
the health of a total life span.
With new resolutions and lofty conclusions,
intrusions into life seem maligned.
With firm application, sincere supplication,
dedication to God’s roadway defined.
Obtaining levels higher with fervent desire,
aspire to create newer dreams.
Obtaining these notions with ardent emotions,
devotion to God’s perfect themes.
In the New Year this all becomes clear,
His now and great future plan.
To all who will hear, this plan becomes dear,
the total restoration of man.
No longer hiding within subtle entrapments of sin,
any moment begins this new life.
The more thoughts harmonize, the more we realize
freedom from the strongholds of strife.
There awaits so much more with God’s Treasures in store,
so much more not even known.
But what is desired can surely be acquired
in a life where we are His own.
Life goes on like normal
No excitement
No true joy
The one you love stays right beside you
Gone
The spark that once brought passion
Yet you walk each day alive
Daily motions
Nothing special
Can you live this life of nothing?
Routine somber
Path of boredom
The secret life of nothing special
Welcome travelers
This is living
In my life so wonderful
I have many, many blessings
To share with you, a few this day
Though many I am missing.
Life!
Love!
Learning!
My family...and most of all...
My husband.
My home - so full of life
My garden - lush and vibrant
My job - my livelihood
My city - thriving and dynamic
Health - it allows me to enjoy the rest!
Opportunities for growth (they are everywhere)
My ability for self expression
My desire for knowledge
The safety I enjoy,
Living in my bountiful country
The food in my kitchen
The clothes in my closet
My flaws - they make me unique and interesting
My attributes - they balance out the flaws
And finally, most of all,
Thankful for
Who I am and the life I live...
A great blessing indeed!
(This is my entry for the Count Your Blessings poetry contest)
There comes a time in every ones life, when
the road your on seems to lead to a dead end
Or maybe it's just rocky, and full of holes and
the direction you have chosen didn't seem right then
No matter which way you turn, its harder to see
and you fear of running into a cement pillar
Or maybe your just afraid to turn away from your destructive
direction because some fear to leave what feels familiar
No-matter what the case is in your life there
is one thing for sure
That once you have let God in your heart there
is nothing in life you cant endure
Althought you feel he is not there sometimes,
because he allows us to go through some pain
He doesn't look upon us by what little or greater
things we do because he loves us all the same
So when you feel like you've come to the end
of your road, and all options are gone
Remember, sometimes we have to go through the pain
to learn that life goes on
