This Is a New Day

Author Dana Redricks
January 10, 2017

This is a new day I feel change 
in the wind. A new season a new 
reason for living. Thanking God for 
each moment. His has given This 
is a new day I feel the wind blowing
Knowing in each day favor is 
coming my way. I can’t focus on 
yesterday for it has passed away and 
this is a new day. Time is passing by 
so I choose not to focus on the when’s 
or why's, but I choose to focus on 
today. New beginnings another chance 
to live my life and take a chance and
Dance to the harmonious songs of praise
Today is a new day thinking of God’s way, 
instead of focusing on my way.

Premium Member One Regret

Now walking through the autumn of my life
Where maple leaves have turned from green to gold
I watch them fall in breezes turning cold
In a whirl-wind of harmony and strife
And I ponder, on the fact that I might
In the light, as another day unfolds
Have, like these dying autumn leaves, grown old
Slow spiraling toward the pending night

Moss grows along the path where I now step
That rocky road now softened by the years
Seeing for the first time, so crystal clear
That I will leave this life with one regret
This vision, that these old eyes now behold
Those blazing  flames, when autumn leaves let go.

Premium Member I Will Seek You First

I WILL SEEK YOU FIRST

I love to love Father God
though I experienced lots of heartaches 
I still yearn for that true love 
to knock unto my door's heart...

You are all powerful and Holy
and maybe before even this world began 
You, Father God don't need us no more, humans
Yet, it is because of love 
that You made us and this world.
And so, I believe so long as someone believe in love
someday soon love will pay a visit and dwell

Heartaches cloud paths but
by learning to forgive and to forget
to move on and then to let go
such will welcome the blossoms of love

Above all, I believe You are the greatest author 
of love stories that have happy ever after endings
I believe it is because of Your presence
in the relationship of these couples
that they indeed, remain committed to their vows
Relationships aren't always a color of red
sometimes it is tainted by black and blue hues. . .

Hear my prayer, Father God 
that to those who yearns for love
may they find what their looking for by first
finding You first, more than a partner is.

Father God, if You ever wrote my love story soon...
I pray humbly for Your guidance 
I pray that You walk with me-- us
I pray that You give me-- us, strength 
I pray for Your blessing
I pray for Your wisdom...
I pray for Your Holy Spirit...

I have read a lot of times that
"falling in love is so easy but staying in love is so special"
and so, I so want that my love story will be special.
And I know it will be because I asked You for this.

I remember so well Your love letters on us-- Your people
that if we ask, it will be given to us
If we seek, we will find
If we knock, door's will be opened for us.
As I will delight in Your Holy Name
And pray sincerely and wholeheartedly
You will give the desires of my heart.

Premium Member May Is the Month Dedicated To All Mothers

May is the month of Mary
May is the month of love
May is the month of all flowers
May is the month of all Mothers.


Let's celebrate all Mothers
Those who are poor and are living in huts
Those who are rich with fake eyelids
Those who are small with high heels
Those who are lofty in a giant pair of trousers
Those who are educated, stylish and sophisticated
Those who live sadly in the street corners
Those who worship the Virgin Mary
Those who mourn, pray and smile.

May is the month of Mary
May is the month of love
May is the month of Mothers
May is the month of all flowers.

Let's celebrate All Moms
Those who bathe in the pond of misery
Those who wander hopelessly the streets
Those who are discouraged and disappointed
Those who toil every day
Those who practice love
Those who need to be rescued
Those who mimic the styles of Mary
Those who kneel, sing and laugh.

May is the month of Mary
May is the month of love
May is the month of all Moms
May is the month of the all mums.

A Letter From Heaven

Dear Mom and Dad,

September 25th, of this year will be the first time we meet.


I can’t wait to see your smile, feel your warm embrace, and to have your arms wrapped around me,


To let me know that the future is bright, tomorrow is uncertain, but you will always be there to protect me.


I know that my timing may not be ideal, for you mom are barely 18, and dad is going on 22.


But graduation will only be a few short months away, and dad has a good job at a neighborhood gas station stocking shelves.


I can’t wait to see your mom and dad, and to have them shower me with love.


I know it’s early but I dream of one day being the next President, a Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer or Entrepreneur.


After-all I am a combination of all of the positive qualities of you and dad, enveloped in one vessel.


Maybe one day, you and dad can give me a brother or sister, that would really make life complete.


But for now I dream of spending each waking moment with you and dad, and all that the future may bring. 




Part 2


Hey Mom and Dad, I just got the news, that instead of seeing your beautiful smiles, I am being sent to See Jesus.


Why did you guys do it?


What did I do?


Don’t you love me?


I promise I won’t be too much trouble, I can be good for you.


But I guess I will never get that chance?


I love you still, but I just want to know why?


I will see you one day, I guess a little further in the future now.


Sincerely



Your Un-Born Baby

Premium Member Still Known As a Bed Wetter

Usually don't know if I'm coming or going
A confused old dude is what I mean
Even sometimes put the cart before the horse
Makes for an real interesting scene

So now you know, I have finally confessed
Can't keep it a secret any longer
I'm quite a bit different from you other poets
I'm a certified strange kind of author

See things differently than most normal folks
Have a weird way of looking at things
Perhaps you've noticed, never thought to ask
Just the way my pendulum swings

Absolutely happy in this delusional state
Too afflicted to know any better
Kind of embarrassing to tell you guys this
Still known to be a naughty bed wetter

So let's get serious, my P-Soup friends
I'm as normal as the rest of you
Wait, that's not sounding too much better
Think we're all a big bunch of kooks

Premium Member A Narrow Path To Nonsense

Trying to pass an elephant
Through a needle is crazy and irrational
That's a narrow path to nonsense
Trying to fake it or to faint
That you score when you drop the ball
Every time is highly deceptive
That's a spooky way to show unintelligence
A sore loser is pusillanimous and vindictive
An illustrious leader accepts defeat and concedes
After losing a long battle. Bad or foolish deeds
Merit no rewards or compensation
Great men show comprehension, compassion
Bravery and true leadership in a crisis
Doing the impossible thing is not a basis
To a successful outcome. Common sense
Prevails all the time. Ignorance and intolerance
Deserve no defense. A man with a magnanimous heart
And bravery is a hero who puts nobody apart
Because unity wins all the time. Division is a cancer
That destroys dreams, hope and a better future
A genius keeps everything relative, relevant and simple
And stays away from anything that's senseless and impossible.

Premium Member In Love With God, Really

Believers in God claim so much
one is they love God for sure
but now is this really so true?
when the motives are not that pure

God calls His believers to love him
Jesus even asked do you love me?
for He truly knew the inner heart
especially when they bend the knee

But the Lord comes with stuff
He brings with Him much to enjoy
sometimes that's reason we want him
telling we love him but it's just a ploy

Is our love for the Lord truly pure?
with the right incentive focused on him
giving our full heart to Jesus alone
for His glory deserves nothing slim

This God sent His son to the cross
as our substitute for all our sin no less
so we must give all of self to the king
He's given His righteousness for our dress

'Are we in love with God or his stuff' )- Francis Chan (B1967, Pastor and Author)

Brought To Life

An author has a picture
Of her characters in mind,
But seeing them on screen might leave
That image far behind.

Except in cases where a role
Exactly coincides
With the writer's vision and the choice
The casting crew decides.

This happened in "The Wife," a film
Which sure deserves a look,
And stars Glenn Close to represent
The wife who leads the book.

An article I read described
The author's sheer delight
When she saw the movie and she knew
The actress got it right.

I wonder what they talked about,
When Glenn and Meg* did meet,
For listening to that conversation
Must have been a treat.

*Meg Wolitzer, author of "The Wife"
