To meet someone of your perfection, I have beholden
I've seen it in your oculus glass, protecting the golden
You are the culmination of what life has molden
Simultaneous impressions of heart and soul bolden
Quiescence my happiness, in you, never found cold in
Possibly, today,
I pray you and I don’t fade
Mold me like your clay
Oh, maybe someday,
I’ll no longer be afraid
Bolden me up today
After my sins be paid...
I’m still withering away
Clouds fade where I laid
I feel so betrayed
My day turns to black and gray
We’re flawfully made
Say, if I let go,
Will you save me from being ill?
Be still, that is so —
Very thrilled to be here
You gave me cheer beyond
Life’s withering fear...
I want to grow on
Spiritually better now
I’m a dawn flower!
One ready for pictures
Always in a pose,
Photogenically prepared
Stands The Rose
With the depthening and bolden
Color of red,
Appear it’s strong petals
Without the despairing thought of shed
...The association of love
Under any weather,
Only for the purpose
Of making her day better
...So perfect and so steady
Is the Rose that you see,
But what some don’t recognize
Is the mess it used to be...
With beauty comes time
With time comes love,
And with love comes patience
And that patience has sprung.
The Bells
The bells,
The gels.
All’s well,
I tell.
The swell,
Can fell.
Golden,
Bolden.
Mega,
Sound rah.
Jingling,
Jangling.
Hear joy,
Ahoy!
Ding dong,
Belong.
Fire warmth,
By stealth.

Bolden Lights
A light shines out loud
Lightening Bug fitters, flashes
As evening dawns passes
These old bones are compromised
Surviving the bolden wars of yesteryear
First, enduring stones, then arrows, then bullets
Fear came near when in the third encounter
Nuclear in nature
At ninety seven I feel the bones rattle
Moving with feeble clarity
There is so much left to do
Simply moving to the next room is a battle
The mind remembers Pearl Harbor
But not the spirit
Hospitals will not take me in
My mortgage like me collapsed in payment
This is the land of the free
According to memory
And
There is no glamor in these old bones
As I wake this morning
I long for Your Total Embrace
To lift me high to the sky
To hear your words inside my heart
Is my desire,your Total Embrace helps me
win this big race.
As my day goes on I long for Your Total Embrace
To take your hand and follow you
I am made new each day
Your mercy is everlasting
Your gracious love endures forever.
As I walk this path of faith
I long to feel your Total Embrace.
Help me walk with you Lord
Help me take up my cross today
use me now,help me feel Your Total Embrace.

As I sat on my porch
I gaze up in the sky
I see the calmness way up high
No breeze,and the sun is setting
I think of you and the smell of the pines.
I see the tall tree's so big in the night
I hear the chirps of birds so low
Night has come to all things outside
the end of morning leads to a new day
the shadows of winds so lightly they flow
seeing the branches just take it slow
squirels scamper to hide in their beds
bugs start to roam as night takes hold
now I will sleep and dream of a land
where we can hold each other
so safe by the sand.

Your hands are like sunshine that
warms the inner parts of my soul.
The rays warming my inner being,
keeps me thinking of how the colors
of the flowers are so vibrant and
powerful in their activity.
As the flowers dance in a slight breeze,
the sun gives way to darkness and the night sky embraces the stars so numerous,
so shiny, so many.
As the night fades, the sun warms the day,
The breeze picks up the flowers in a dance, and your hands warm my soul again,
with the rays from the suns warmth and the shadows of the colors show the love inside your touch.

As the winter slows down and the wind is not heavy
Your love holds me in the palm of your hands.
You shelter me from the storms and you keep me warm
in the palm of your hands.
When life takes my last breath,
you hold me in the palm of your hands.
Your love flows from rivers slow
you hold me in the palm of your hands.
You took my sin and let me live
in the palm of your hands.
Life can hurt and twist us all over the roads of life
but you untwist the pain inside,
you hold me in the palm of your hands.
My life is still not right,
so many days of inside fright,
but one thing I know,
you hold me in the palm of your hands.
Take me into your heart so true,
help me not to be so blue,
Jesus,please hold me in the palm of your hands.

May You Be Blessed
~ With Peace Today~
They travel through and all around the sky's.
They roll back and forth they change shape and
Style and only stay for awhile.
There formed by my Masters Hands, the
colors the shapes and all the things that
keep me thinking,my master has made and
kept all for me to see as I shout and
learn from Him to me.

I cry to you for help, O LORD ;
in the morning my prayer comes before you.
Before you I kneel down and humble myself within
deep inside I long for your touch
I know I love you so very much.
I wake and cry for your love inside
also things that come from above
a whisper,a smell,a breeze in the air,
I long to take your hand in mine
to see your face so divine
how long does the sorrow last
can we just forget the past
You took my pain one day in time
made me yours so true and fine
I love your ways in all my days
I cry out and its not in vein.

You are greater than the pain
Who can I turn to
No one but you
You are greater than the pain.
Your love endures forever
When I'm weak you are strong
Your greater than the pain.
I long to be with you
I long to hear your voice
Your greater than the pain.
Help me to see the sun
help me to know you have won.
Your love is everlasting
your love flows from the very
depths of my soul.
Your love is in my heart
your love will never depart.
Your love is greater than the pain.
Keep me standing Lord
Help me to hold on
Help me to reach up and take your hand.
You are greater than the pain.
