John 9:4 (KJV) I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
He has the responsibility,
Covered in dollar signs, abiding,
Beneath the shadows of time,
In timeless lessons…
When will he realize,
Time, time isn’t on his side?
When will he realize,
Times like these will fall behind,
The memories floating,
On seas of hope for meaning
In a futile knowledge, a worthless
Day, spent growing his net worth,
The sacrifice – his entire life,
Spent working, working, working…
He has so many others, depending on him,
His earnings their subsistence, surviving,
Existing because he is giving, giving, giving,
His living, covered in cash, debit card, credit,
Where there is only grief in knowing…
His life, it will soon be over,
While he provides for those he loves,
Leaving them with only the memories
A lifetime of going off to work,
A lifetime of drudgery, manual labor,
A lifetime of exertion, effort, duties,
Brought him from yesterday to the current
Prepared him, with lessons…
His life, soon over,
His destination, heaven’s gates,
Where they will ask him what his life was about?
And, he can say…
Life is about giving, giving, giving,
Never just living, but making a living!
Never just giving, but forgiving…
This life that is made up of work and toil,
This life that was given by the One who knows,
Life isn’t about what you can gain.
Life is about what you can contribute.
Life is about what you can donate…
With your heart, your light, your love.
Life is about giving more than you take.
Life is about listening to the Lord, who gave us grace.
Life is about giving everything you make…
All your talent, all your gifts, all your blessings,
With a heart who is generous, a heart who believes…
Because He gave His all, we have all we’ll ever need!
Because He arose from the tomb…
Together, with Jesus… we can make more than a living.
We can make it through this life, knowing we’ve been forgiven!
He has the responsibility,
Covered in dollar signs, abiding,
Beneath the shadows of time,
In timeless lessons…
Number ONE is the Creator of all time, through love that is mine!
A friend said
a little mulch
and planting
is what it takes
to transform a yard.
She bought flowers
in spring
as a gift to herself.
She laid the mulch
and planted the flowers
around a tree.
She cried out
for last night’s storm
and all life
a touch of rain could bring.
She said
after her divorce
every transgression
could be forgiven
with a little sun.
After moving back
to her hometown
it was time to start again.
She said
that her two sons
would bring their wives
and come back
for an Easter brunch
when stories told
around the table
would fine new life.
She knelt in the yard
and spring kissed her
on the cheek.
as a warm breeze blew.
A church bell pealed
such joy found
when young girls
dressed in white
holding lilies
danced along the sidewalk.
Black heart so cold, lonely, and empty
How can a black heart tell me he loves me?
When a black heart doesn’t love the one above thee
Please black heart, see the writing on the wall
Realize that it is I who catches you every time you fall
These words I whisper to you, come one come all
There is a fate worse than a black heart that is incapacitated
It’s the internal struggle quite underrated
And I know you hate it
When I speak of truths you should’ve already known
As a fetus in your mother’s womb until you’re grown
And then a carcass in your tomb
Love has to be given as well as shown
But if so then why is your black heart still alone and cold?
Look at your life and all of the things you’ve done
Have you ever tried to live right and give your life reason?
The sins you’ve committed are forgiven
Don’t ever forget it
Now you must answer to man
And I know you regret it
But breaking laws in the sight of man
Is like having bad credit
To them you will always be the bad seed
You must give an account for every deed
Stop blaming your parents, the system, and society
Take responsibility because if the choice was left to me
I would never say two words to you
But I’m compelled to get through to you
I love you until my dying breath
So, while you’re away from me don’t stress
Do you know that God will carry you?
I will be most honored to marry you
But a black heart can’t be in my life
I refuse to be a black heart’s wife
My lips may turn black if I kiss you
So black heart, please make a change
Your life you must rearrange
If not, I won’t make it a priority
To elevate your mind with a love as strong as mine
In the core of your soul lies the truth of your issues
But you must let God take full control
Or else I will surely miss you
Excuses, Excuses will not do!
We have a duty in life to love, that is what is true
To forgive means to do so with all our heart
Not to place the blame on God for what we did start
What we sow is what we reap
Each commandment was written to keep
Always think twice, never leap
Justice will come to those who are good
Welcome to life just imitate Robin Hood
Give to the poor, forget your greed
Don't be lazy, hasten your speed
Remember adultery is a mortal sin
So is killing, that's plain grim
As for stealing what kind of a person does that?
Normally a lowlife or a spoilt brat
Why bother allowing jealousy of another's wealth get in your way?
You'll have more riches if you favour God and pray
Love your neighbour even if they're not your type
Your graces on earth will treble minus the hype
Thank God for every new day
When you're angry, Don't insult His name, that's lame
Remember Sunday? Go say Hello
It's one hour of the entire day, make an effort to go
We've all been bitten one way or another
At times from within our own family or another
People will fill your head with lies
They're not good but they swarm around you in life like flies
Don't listen to what these other people say
They don't want you to obey
Never forget your parents, without them you wouldn't be here
Give them a good life, fill it with cheer
A good heart is what makes man
All Sins are forgiven if you repent, that's the best part of God's plan!
Themes are overlapping
The current keeps criss crossing
Dreaming and digressing depressing and unkind
Mish mash meandering in a labyrinth of minds
Wonder lost.....fingers crossed....
Misdiagnosed and so stupidly maintained
Disjointed mistake.....
Contorted remorse
No kingdom no horse
Replaying the scene
Rehearsing the song ... unmended
Keep doing wrong
How do I check my tongue?
Why does it always come out wrong?
Ill get forgiven - of course
And then I transcend it - much worse
Imprinted my thinking - not right
I keep on repeating .... my plight
Until I get along, its best I walk alone
How to undo this old refrain
Your spirit I fractured - time and again
Fatal Breath
There is a time in life I believe
That comes with imminent death
A realization of something more
As you approach your final breath
You think of all the things
You have done while alive and well
And some are not so good
And could lead you straight to hell
Of course you have done some good things
And they will be weighed and measured
And the times you really went out of your way
Well those times will surely be treasured
You remember all the times
The good, the bad, and the best
They all go flashing through your mind
As you face eternal rest
So many things over the years
You now contemplate with sorrow
All the things you should have done
Would clearly get done …Tomorrow
Well they didn’t get done
And there is only you to blame
But you have one more choice to make
It will keep you out of the flame
Turn your eyes towards heaven
And our Lord’s saving Grace
Ask forgiveness of all your sins
Before you leave this sinful place
Then you will walk the streets of gold
And have no more fear of death
Because you asked to be forgiven
Before that last final breath.

A little sunbeam and a raindrop
came together one day
and developed some feelings
that would not wash away.
They danced through the Heavens
and hid behind clouds
for the feelings they had
would not be allowed.
Discovery came faster
then they wanted it to
and forces behind them
disrupted the two.
The sun and the raincloud
met and agreed .
They must split up,
this never could be.
The sunbeam and raindrop
both disagreed
and snuck back together
when both were set free.
But, all was forgiven
by the sun and the cloud,
when they saw the beauty
of what both had endowed.
The sunbeam and raindrop
could now join as one
and their love of each other
showed everyone.
Whenever it's rainy
and the sun peaks through.
The power of their love
is plainly in view.
A beautiful rainbow
appears in the sky,
with glorious colors
that catch everyone's eye.
Because of a Love
that could not be denied
a radiant rainbow
embraces the sky!
Repent, and you shall be forgiven
And hopefully, reinstated
If you are conscience-driven
It’s much appreciated
No need to come up with objections
Just humbly take the charge
Accept all stupid allegations
Before they grow too large
The astute will suspect you’re kidding
Those will be a minority
Most of the judges will believe you
So blessed by their authority
You go whatever way you see
It might be not the same
You walked before, but you are free
To start another game
It is a gaming world, all play
Whatever game they like
In games of war for peace they pray
In games of work they strike
Of course the wise like to pretend
That only justice meets their needs
But at the high stakes it depends
Forgive the hypocrites.
Elle laissa tomber une de ses pantoufles de verre, que le prince ramassa bien soigneusement. (Perrault’s tale)
SOUL SLIPPER
magnificent her slipper —
slender, arched, flawless,
resplendent of soul (embodied
the right) a drift of gentle snow
fell as the midnight hand stole
a moon-pale foot, forgiven
of its comfy glass —
with a swarovski sparkle,
possibility of forever-after,
if found and delivered
to the lass with platinum hair —
long and luxurious; diamondiferous
cascade of gown - ankle-sweet.
the royal hound buried it...well
he should have, according to
the snooty stepsisters and their
mother, but instead the perfect soul
at the top of the landing, reminder
of Ella’s smile that bewitched
the adorable prince charming.
curious, he coddles the scenic
looking glass of remembrance —
in love with her tootsie reflection.
the royal hound hunts her down,
sniffs out her kissable perfume,
snarls at the frankenstein-family.
a clever mouse knocks over
a lovely bouquet of wildflowers,
sheltered upstairs where nobody
cares, except the cheese nibblers
well cared for by the classy lass.
released by the princely command,
posed beside the wincing sibs,
she patently slides on hers.

I am not a man, but I am
I am not present tense, but I am here
I am all that I am
But I’m not Popeye
Been to the waters
But not Baptist
What can I do
When will my life be due
And how may I choose
I am not bad, but I’m a sinner
I am not evil, yet been forgiven
I am all that I am
But I’m not Brutish, yet I’m a brute
I’m in pains but not hurt
Been cleanse even though I’m in the dirt
What can I do
When will my life be due
And how may I choose
I am all that I am
I am not a man, but I am
I am not present tense, but I am here
No longer displaced, disgraced
Was lost now found in His
Amazing Grace
