We are all immigrants
We all have temporary residence here
This land is ours and theirs, yours and mine
We are humanity, stronger joined than apart
Never turn your back on a hungry child
You may be in the right
Lacking compassion
Makes you wrong
The disciples were scolded
Let the children come unto me he said
Life is filled with hardships, yes we all have suffered
So let your suffering hold some merit
Lay down your guns and loud voices
If only for the children
If you dance and celebrate for them
They shall lead you on to peace on earth
Note: A famous person once said "When they love their children, more than they hate us, we shall have peace"
No, I don't play golf, nor am I a fan of those who play;
But I am a fan of success and great accomplishments.
It was about 1040 AM as I turned the curb to return home.
As I was making the turn, the thought of Tiger Woods entered
my mind because of the reports of his very recent accident.
I have never met Tiger nor expect that we will ever meet,
but this morning for a short while I could not shake the thought
of him. So, I began to pray for him, making mention of the losses
in his life and the pain that must have followed the shame and embarrassment he must have felt several years ago following the revelations about his personal life and family. As moisture began to form in my eyes, they were not tears for just a very famous person, a person that has experienced huge success and prosperity, but a heart throbbing prayer for a man in need of someone far beyond and above himself.
So, I prayed that God would reveal Himself to Tiger in a way that he has never known; that God would heal the wounds that seem to yet linger, causing him much frustration and sorrow. I do not know of Tiger's relationship with The Lord, but felt that I needed to touch God on behalf of one needing love and a friend. May The Lord also surround him with caring and loving people who are not enameled by the great golf star, but as a fellow human being in need of a solid path to walk on with his Maker.

He was a super star. I was neither super nor a star. We were walking in opposite directions, and as we came within 10 feet of each other, I recognized him and spoke to him by name. He said, "Walk with me".
He was on his morning walk, which I assumed was part of his normal routine. So he could not stop and speak with me but was very courteous with his invitation for me to "Walk with him". He even addressed me as sir.
His use of the word 'sir' spoke volumes to me. I walked a few steps with him but was on the job delivering very
time-sensitive materials. So I could not walk and talk
with him, even though I would have loved to.
He was a famous person whose actions on and off television had caused me pause with regard to his character. But on that morning, there was something about the way he addressed and showed respect to me that grew me to him in spite of how I had felt before. Asking for an autograph never crossed my mind, and as we parted company, I told him that my son will be thrilled when I tell him that I met one of his favorite stars.

The advent of a new birth
Brings such joy to those around,
It’s the onset of a new life.
And a miracle, so profound.
All new-borns should be nurtured.
From the day they first arrive,
From a fragile new beginning
They need care to help them thrive.
To face the trials and tribulations
That life chooses to bestow,
Be it human, plant or animal.
They all need help to grow.
The propagation of the species
Is so essential to survive,
The gift of life is precious.
Of which no person should deprive.
So, if you’re caring for a new-born.
Give them all the love they need,
For many a famous person
Grew from a nurtured seed.
In the parking lot, I sat observing
The flag over the shopping mall
I noticed it flying at half-mast
A famous person, it sought to recall
The impact they had on society
Affected people, far and wide
Adored or rejected by the masses
Many in this person did confide
Few in society attain this status
So it's imperative to take note
When observing their credentials
Just what kept their name afloat
When Jesus died on the cross
Was this event really observed
Was it noted by multitudes
Did He get recognition, He deserved
Today, His banner should reign above
Rooftops in every nation
His sacrifice on Calvary's hill
Gives me solace in meditation
God grant that I may hoist a flag
And always make it known
He deserves ultimate recognition
None other could our sins atone !

We were parallel walking
she asked if I found [famous person] attractive
I sucked a thoughtful tooth (as if)
and said I'm not one to fawn over
minor celebrities
she said fawn I said yes fawn
But if [famous person] was here now
I'd attach myself to her legs and let her
drag me through the mud
like an I don't know what
the metaphor failed me. She said
Like a dangleberry.
I don't know what you mean, and obv.
which is short for obviously
as an alpha male I am not one to submit
to be dragged away anyway and yet
in this instance [famous person] would have to
beat me off, stop it, that's enough now
I mean her magnificent legs which
in this unlikely scenario I have attached myself to
remember
Honestly, I wish I'd never started this
she said me too
and that was that
for the rest
of our walk
I am not a famous person…in spite of when I was younger all the times I’d try
and now that I am older I’m content with being just an average guy.
Being average is a great way to go through life
because it comes with an optimistic point of view…
as being average has never stopped me…from doing the things I like to do.
I’m not a famous artist…my art, as my family laughs, has flaws
but that has never stopped me…because I love to draw.
I’m not a famous singer…some say my singing voice stings…
but that has never stopped me…because I love to sing.
I’m not a famous dancer…you can see that at first glance
but that has never stopped me…because I love to dance.
I’m not a famous poet…like Emily Dickinson or Shakespeare in their prime
but that has never stopped me…because I love to make words rhyme.
I am happy being average…I’ve no reason for dismay…
for I have many other blessings in my life…I can add up every day.
I have a family I adore… they seem to like me too…
and I know whatever the world throws at us..
we’ll be there to see each other through.
I have friends…I have my health…life is following a cheerful plan…
and though I am not famous outside of my family…I am a happy man.
So when it comes to drawing, singing, dancing and rhyming…
How easy it is for me to see…
with all the other blessing I’ve been gifted…
average…is good enough for me.
Cynosure
Umm..cynosure... what does that mean?
Oh yes, I see...something supreme.
Like dignitary, celeb, sight;
a focal point, or nucleus.
A stunner, prodigy, limelight,
a treasure, magnate, omphalos.
A hero, luminary, ace,
centrality, big gun, big name.
A famous person, worthy place,
or major leaguer of some fame.
A star, a personality;
a spotlight, center of it all.
Exemplar and epitome;
an archetype, original.
Top brass, top dog, a spectacle,
a wonderment or quintessence.
An act of God, a miracle;
immortal, beauty, eminence.
Umm...cynosure...now understood.
To me, it means...superbly good.

Abraham* is father of faith indeed
He obeyed God along His deed and creed
Commended and blest
Midst challenging test
So from unbelief and doubt, he was freed.
Abraham’s great grandson, Moses** did stand
Leading God’s people to the promised land
With courageous might
And prayerful plight
Sea he divided toward march so grand.
*Romans 4:9-11 ...For we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness... that he might be the father of all them that believe...
**Hebrews 11:24-29 By faith Moses, ....; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; ...
passed through the Red sea as by dry land...

The elevator button has got stuck
there doesn't seem any way out
here I am with a man called John
says he's an apostle, I don't doubt
Indeed this is John who knew Jesus
being his disciple and apostle so well
the writer of the gospels and 3 epistles
he is my favourite gospel writer to tell
I'd ask about his time on Patmos
there on his own in total isolation
how did he cope just trusting in God
but God faithfully kept him in his tribulation
John also received the book of Revelation
when spoken to by Jesus heavenly vision
which told John what was to cone to pass
even yet the world's to meet a collision
So much of Revelation hard to know
would love to pick his mighty brain
asking when is these things to come
when tears are gone and no more pain
John lived along with Jesus
always being close to saviour's side
what was it like to know him?
to know His presence always to abide
John stood at Calvary he saw it all
next to Mary standing with eyes fixed
how did it feel seeing Jesus die?
wondering what's to happen next
Then 3 days later at the tomb
looking in but nobody was there
then realise Jesus had told us so
John, so much you have to share!
(I am describing what it would like to be like to get stuck in an elevator with my favourite famous person and why, that is the apostle JOhn.)
