those cold snowy days
seldom seen in warm desert
escaping frost's snow packed fields
yet desert's green leaves
depend on drinks from storm's cache
in wells shared with thirsty land

I
Humans boldly march to their fall:
My utter dependence on Jesus
Surprises, shocks, my foe, friend, family
II
O so often a male friend harbors envy
Invited to visit home & family
They spin webs, but God humbles them
Hallelujah; even "pastor friends" have shown pride, double standards, & I am less open to a wide open door (policy!); my duty is to protect my family & their integrity as Jesus-followers

Adveristy
Shorts
Termination inbound on the day
Ruminating over the cause
Sudden pain caused by fellowship
Heartstrings hand-plucked, wrought with strife
You take a bow, adversity on your fingertip
Perfectionist performance, chimerical display.
Friendship, treasure so valued
prized best with love’s gain
reigning midst isolation
saying “you’re not lost.”
God’s partnership blest
offers pardon-bliss and peace
securing fellowship* seal.
*1John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

1st place, "A BRIAN STRAND JULY 16" Poetry Writing Contest
Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 7/16/2021.
An abiding trust in God, just what we need
to bury selfish doubt in its barren tract;
prayer - the planting and compost for hope's seed.
A simple plea, "Help me, God!" starts the contact
between us and God whose angels stand close by
braced to intervene, buttressing every act.
To every whisper, answers He does supply.
If we get it - our Father knows what is best -
we’ll say, “Thank You, God!” his will to glorify.
All throughout the day, calm words of praise and quest
for guidance from Him, “What should I say and do?”
will honor Him, when we confess, "God has blessed."
Prayer - conversation between God and you,
heart-felt fellowship that never says, “Adieu”.

When I took Jesus’ Hand and Followed Him
When I took Jesus’ hand and decided I would follow Him
I turned to see if my close friends were coming to,
but oh, no, I was all alone with Jesus as He
had decided this was something that He and I needed to do.
It was just Him that I had fellowship with
but in a strange and vastly different state,
far away from family and friends and everything I had known
but I got to know Him, His Father, and the Spirit of God and that was absolutely great!
I had no idea how things would work out
I just went as He directed and as He had told me to do,
I know the biggest thing was that I was totally His
and depended upon Him for everything in a land for me that was all so new.
I am still walking with my Savior
And now, forty five years later but I have to admit a bit slower,
but, I wouldn’t have had it any different than it is
because I love Him more, yes more and more!
God bless,

My heart delights to abide in God’s fellowship* bliss
Wondrously praising the Lord midst glorious worship bliss.
By the Saviour’s gracious favour midst His love and care
My spirit finds rest in His offered partnership bliss.
As I yearn for Christ’s approval through His mercy’s zeal
He propels my soul toward faithful stewardship bliss.
Reigning over me now against anxiety’s gloom
His divine peace exudes His vibrant leadership bliss.
How I thank the Almighty for reaching out to me
Bringing heaven’s gift of assured relationship bliss.
With His compassion granting my soul eternal life
I triumph in His presence marked by sweet friendship bliss.
Thus, I, His child, am verily indeed blest
Serving Him while perfected by His workmanship bliss.
*1John 1:3 … Truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.

I missed the meals mama used to cook
Her recipes were not in the cookery book
Mama was just more of a kitchen queen
She's the best cook we have ever seen
Mama's Fufu with Chicken soup was my best
The manner she cooked it was better than the rest
Her meals always nourished the spirit
As they filled the stomach every minute
After school she served us with spaghetti
Mama's garnish as elegant as bugatti
She'll serve with eggs and some salad dressing
It was a special kind of love, very impressing
Oh my gosh! Her meals saved me countless times
I cannot really explain that in poetic lines
Family dinner was a time of joy and conversation
A time of fellowship, laughter and celebrations
She sprinkled all her meals with goodness
And carefully spooned cinnamon for sweetness
Making dessert, bread and cakes for birthdays
Chicken sauce and pineapple drinks on holidays
Never was there a meal like her morning prayers
She'll spend early hours of her days in prayers
Her heart was full of love, peace and joy
She was our lamp, like a light in the city of Troy
Meaningful vibrant fellowship*
Exposes wondrous engagement
Coiled around trust's grip and love’s partnership
Beautifying fidelity along faith-commitment.
Within divine sweet friendship
Shared along caring fulfillment
There flourishes intimate relationship
Bringing fruits blossoming by endearment.
Anchored upon blissful vibrant stewardship
Married couples delight toward family-building management
Reared upon strong, solid, sound companionship
Nurturing togetherness for healthy home nourishment.
Grateful to God midst joyous worship
In prayer meetings that intensify marital empowerment
Families acknowledge the Almighty’s supreme leadership
Since He blesses genuine love-tied bonds despite any impediment.
*1John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
