Premium Member Keeping God-Search Simple

Keeping God-search simple is wondrous indeed
Empowered by the Holy Spirit midst Scriptural creed
Established upon faith's seed that meets spiritual need 
Peacefully settled for gracious and lovingkindness' breed
Illumined by caring and sharing functional deed
Nourished to do best, conquering selfish greed
Guided to live well upon temperance; against gloom---verily freed.

God reveals Himself with His goodness' nurture
Openly exposing His attributes as we exercise trust along prayerful posture
Delighted to manifest His virtues to let us see His marvellous gesture.

Searching God is staying in His divine will against pride's height
Expecting for His direction that is always right
Acknowledging His presence around His fellowship day and night
Resting in His mercy, miracle and might
Championing with winning attitude along prayer-flight
Hoping for His answers while overcoming weakness-blight.

Simply, my being leans on the Almighty Who knows what is best
Inclining to His wisdom, my mind reaches victory's crest
Meditating on His truth, I surpass deception and falsity's test
Persisting in His fellowship's nest, I feel so blest
Learning from His compassion's breast, my soul soars upward service-zest
Engaging in His ministry, my life becomes fulfilled to the fullest.

Premium Member Christmas Magic

Children so excited, they cannot sleep, 
hoping Santa will leave lots of new toys.
Rudolph guides the sleigh in snow crisp and deep 
Is he visiting these good girls and boys?
Silently Santa creeps into the house,
to leave presents under the Christmas tree.
Moving around as quiet as a mouse
at midnight; when sleeping children can’t see.
Soon children wake to see if Santa’s been,

many wishing for the toys of their dreams.
All glad that their Christmas letters were seen
Giggling happily; hear their joyful screams.
I  reminisce on my own childhood days,
carefree and simple in so many ways.

Premium Member South Paw Babe Ruth

Silence hushed, a crowd in awe,
Only crickets could be heard.
Under the spell of the Babe,
They looked to where he pointed,
Hoping to see a home run. 

Perhaps the greatest player
America ever-knew,
Would, once again, please the crowd.

But the pitcher wasn't phased,
And threw a wicket screwball.
Babe watched its winding approach,
Eyed it close, took aim, and swung.

Resounding off of his bat,
Unfailingly, the ball flew.
Then, as the home crowd cheered on,
Headed straight for its target.

Choose the Right Way

C-hoose the right way, 
A-nother one is wrong; 
T-ry to be very careful, 
H-oping the road isn't long.
E-ither eye won't turn blind, 
R-ising up from slumber; 
I-t's not time to violate, 
N-ever transgress, never
E-rr.

M-aking the right choice
E-difies your true faith; 
R-emain open listening
T-o God's words so great.
O-ctober twenty-third morn
L-ets the sun brighten the day; 
A-fter leaving the night, beacon takes the dark away.

C-hoose the right way, 
A-nother one is fake; 
S-tay focused on the truth, 
A-nd decision you must make.
W-ith your heart and mind, 
A-lways present when you pray; 
Y-our soul shall be saved, if you choose the right way.

Premium Member So Much To Cherish

"Thoughts capture fond moments in time-
     but those imageries presented in a poem
          cherish them fully with the power of words."
                                                               by Poet

Cherish- an embracing word that brings to mind,

How those things I love in life should be enshrined.

Each new day brings treasures that for sure unwind

Rich blessings captured- saved memories that bind

In fine ways that stir my mind and heart combined.

So, I cherish writing poems- some sad, most kind-

Hoping to preserve the thoughts of life I've mined.

Premium Member Coming Back Home

City, after city fades
One more night dreaming of home
Morning arrives and my weeping cascades
I am tired of this journey and my solitary roam
Now, I realize how much I love you
Gathering my strength I pray our love is still true
Beautiful memories of us come out of the blue
And I wander the crowded streets cold to the bone
Can you wait for me I am coming home, I groan
Keep sending you messages, oh I am so alone
Hoping and praying to the Lord above
Oh wait, I will be home soon my love
My heart is weary but also full of joy
Eager to see you-   worried love I did not destroy

Premium Member Hand In Hand With You

Hurrying down a winding path
Among imposing lofty trunks, I
Nourish thoughts with optimism 	
Discarding an assault by aching limbs       

Imploring for a soothing stop
Notwithstanding valid motivation. 

Hark! I catch cascading sounds
Approaching from not far away.
Nobody knows how big a boost this brings!
Doubts will not disturb my mind again. 

With you this mission I’ll accomplish soon; 
Important to withhold mistrust at bay.
Towards conclusion, with firm motivation,
Hoping to attain our initial aspiration.

You hold my hand, without any qualms 
Of what tomorrow and days afar might spawn. 
Uplifting is this vast profusion of our faith.

Ethereal Lanterns

E ntering this season with joyful heart
T hanking the Almighty for blessings great
H oping for a love-filled renewed life start
E xpressing desire for a peaceful state
R elaying to everyone the Good News
E mulating the Father in grace shown
A ppreciating more, dispelling blues
L oving purely, reaching vistas unknown

L ighting up lives by spreading His mercy
A cknowledging God's goodness and kindness
N avigating troubles in this journey
T raversing along, crushing world-blindness
E ncouraging others to shine for Christ
R esurrecting hope - Jesus is alive
N urturing growth, His leading has sufficed
S parkling with vigour, in Him we can thrive

Hoping for a better day                                                       
Over the hills so we can play                                                  
Personally I must say                                         
Experience life in a fun way

Good For a Lifetime

R-emain good for a lifetime, 
I-n love with each other; 
C-herish the sacred marriage, 
H-oping to last forever.
A-im to be good for a lifetime, 
R-egardless of the weather; 
D-on't let the storm strain the chain or bond in the air.
&
V-ie to be good for a lifetime, 
A-llowing the Lord to rule; 
N-o longer two but one, 
G-od's gift is beautiful.
I-n spite of the trials in life that come your way; 
E-arnestly learn to be firm, strong and steadfast every day.

C-ount the blessings of God, 
A-nother year has passed; 
B-ecause of His guidance, 
A-ll heartaches never last.
N-inth of May Tuesday
S-eems sweet and sublime; 
A-lways stay together, 
G-ood for a lifetime.
